Yep. There's a poster here (Ripplenger?) that uses that hologram cover as their icon.

But I have yet another tasty bedbug for you. I've had this one for 6 years, and I've never read it! It kind of looks like a vampire bedbug. I would definitely NOT put this one in a cage full of parakeets!

By God, you've tapped into the unexplored bedbug horror subgenre!

You'll sell a bundle of them in New York alone.

Lords of the Deep by Patrick Lacey & Tim Meyer
Amazon US $0.99


Welcome to historic Lea Bay, home of maritime lore and the region’s most popular pirate festival. It was also the landing site of the infamous Lords of the Deep, ruthless pirates who once pillaged the area and said to have hidden a chest full of cursed treasure.

But this year’s pirate festival will be different.

This year, the Lords of the Deep are coming home.

Recovering from the death of her husband, Daphne Jordan is thrust into a series of bizarre events leading up to the big celebration. Lea Bay locals have been reporting strange incidents. Green mist. Seismic activity. Sinister sightings in the harbor, things with scales and long, sharp teeth. Monsters. Joined by her brother-in-law and a local police officer, Daphne must solve the mystery before whatever is swimming beneath the shore surfaces for all eternity. Before the Lords of the Deep resurrect their long-dormant leader upon the Bay—and the world.

Thanks for that. I love horror stories dealing with the sea or the snow.

The Ritual by Adam Nevill is $1.99 at Amazon US.

This was turned into a pretty good Netflix movie.

When four old University friends set off into the Scandinavian wilderness of the Arctic Circle, they aim to briefly escape the problems of their lives and reconnect with one another. But when Luke, the only man still single and living a precarious existence, finds he has little left in common with his well-heeled friends, tensions rise. With limited experience between them, a shortcut meant to ease their hike turns into a nightmare scenario that could cost them their lives. Lost, hungry, and surrounded by forest untouched for millennia, Luke figures things couldn't possibly get any worse. But then they stumble across an old habitation. Ancient artefacts decorate the walls and there are bones scattered upon the dry floors. The residue of old rites and pagan sacrifice for something that still exists in the forest. Something responsible for the bestial presence that follows their every step. As the four friends stagger in the direction of salvation, they learn that death doesn't come easy among these ancient trees...

See No Evil by B. A. Shapiro is $1.99 at Amazon US.

See No Evil is a supernatural thriller about witchcraft, reincarnation, and murder in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The story opens as Lauren Freeman touches the worn leather binding of The Chronicle of the Coven. She sees a flash of knives and hears a strange chorus of voices in her head.

Lauren is undeterred. A newly divorced single mother, she is a graduate student in history writing a book about American witch trials with her professor Jackie Pappas. Lauren needs the money the book will bring. Its focus is a mysterious event that took place in 1692 when seven convicted “witches” vanished from their prison cells on the eve of their executions and were never seen again.

Lauren and Jackie’s research begins to uncover bizarre reports. Then, suddenly, Jackie is dead, and Lauren is left to write their book alone. Lauren knows that Jackie was murdered and that if she is not careful, she will be next.

Lauren’s battle to avenge Jackie’s death and save her own life takes her from Wiccan festivals to ancient cemeteries to the bowels of dark libraries. After her son’s kidnapping, multiple murder attempts, and a chase through labyrinthine subway tunnels, Lauren finally confronts the perpetrator of these horrific events and acknowledges that, even in the everyday, things are often not as they seem.

Thanks. I enjoyed Last Days by Nevill so I'll check this one out too.

Blood Island by Tim Waggoner
Amazon US $0.99

The Mass, an island-sized creature formed entirely of mutated blood cells, has drifted across the world’s oceans for millions of years. It uses sharks – the most efficient predators the planet has ever produced – as extensions of itself to gather food. For the most part, the Mass and its Hunters have avoided contact with the human race, but now it’s entered the waters off Bridgewater, Texas, where a film crew is busy shooting a low-budget horror film called Devourer of the Deep. The Mass is about to discover something called human imagination, and the humans are about to learn that battling a monster in real life is a little harder than fighting one on screen.

Hey, thanks for that. The plot sounds very silly, but I have liked some previous Tim Waggoner work.

^ That's one nasty looking shark!

This is one creature that doesn't need to floss the old-fashioned way. Simply chew on a few humans.

The Maddening by Andrew Neiderman is $1.99 at Amazon US.

Has anyone here read Andrew Neiderman? I know he has a LOT of books. The Devil's Advocate was made into a movie I didn't care for. And I know the V.C. Andrews estate hired him to continue writing books under her name. But that's about all I know.

Stacey Oberman made the worst mistake of her life when she followed the garage mechanic’s advice and turned off the main highway. When her car breaks down in a rainstorm, she and her five-year-old daughter seek refuge in a nearby farmhouse—only to become “playmates” in a violent whirlpool of unrelenting terror.

[Dr. Drib]

I've read maybe 2 of his books, but I couldn't begin to even remember what they were about.

Sorry.

I read this last year and remember enjoying it. A sort of hospice for zombies? I believe this is free currently and recommend grabbing it.

FREE Amazon US

There are monsters in this world. And they used to be us. Now it's time to euthanize to survive in a hospice where Emily, a woman haunted by her past, only wants to do her job and be the best mother possible.
