The Pumpkin Seed by Timothy C. Hobbs (member)
“I
am a drinker of human blood and an eater of human flesh, a monster
dressed in the skin of a man.” So states Charles, the main character of
the novel, after being infected with a virus transmitted by an insect
vector.
The Pumpkin Seed opens in India near the Nepal border in the late 17th century. A commissioned officer of the East India Company is seeking a profitable new trade route into China. Indian bandits of the Thuggie clan attempt to stop this further invasion by the British and release a plague of insects, which carry a unique virus. This organism not only infects humans, it transforms the chemical and physical nature of the host’s body. Longevity, resilience and the need to feed on human blood and flesh make the host an efficient killing machine, especially in regard to the human race.
The novel follows the characters through 17th and 18th century England and India, culminating in present day Austin, Texas. Set in the orphanages of London and in the vile body snatch. PURCHASE ON SMASHWORDS
Absolom Rex by K.L. Coones (member)
Roman
prefect, Pontius Pilate, is sent on an unwilling errand for Caesar;
subdue the Judean province and establish undisputed roman rule. But
dangers from religious zealots and political scheming are nothing. A
nightmare being; only whispered of in the ancient tales of the Greeks,
reveals itself. As the world he once knew shatters, Pontius must decide;
do battle with the malevolence, or flee.
Absolom Rex is a unique work in the world of the horror genre. When most books depend on the shock value of a beheading or use of insanity as a primary character trait, Absolom Rex, draws inspiration from the roots of the genre, where the environment sets the mood of a story, dialogue drives the characters and their development forward, and proper description puts the reader into the scene for maximum emotional impact.

who sees the soulless eyes of his past. This time, his six-year-old
daughter Charlie leans into his ear and whispers: "Daddy, I saw it too."

Evil Unleashed (Mind of a Madman) by Valerie Bowen
Caleb
Talbot escaped from prison during a riot. After fleeing the facility,
Caleb lives peacefully hidden away on a farm in Nebraska. Until law
enforcement discovers the escapee that had been presumed dead, was very
much alive. Warden Hahn of the Kansas State Penitentiary enlists the aid
of Officer Michael Quincy and his canine partner to find the escapee
and return him to prison where he belongs. Caleb Talbot discovered law
enforcement was on his tail, and quickly devises a plan to retain his
freedom. The kidnapping of a woman is the beginning of Caleb’s heartless
murder spree. Michael soon realizes the man he had been hired to
capture, has a disturbing past lined with brutality and bloodshed. He
also knows Talbot has little regard for human life. Can Michael and his
canine partner Sasha bring the madman to justice? Or will they be just
another name on Caleb’s ever growing list of heinous murder victims? PURCHASE ON AMAZON
Wendy's Classic Pick of the Month
A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Although Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) is justifiably famous as the creator of Tarzan of the Apes, that uprooted Englishman was not his only popular hero. Burroughs's first sale (in 1912) was A Princess of Mars,
opening the floodgates to one of the must successful--and
prolific--literary careers in history. This is a wonderful scientific
romance that perhaps can be best described as early science fiction
melded with an epic dose of romantic adventure. A Princess of Mars
is the first adventure of John Carter, a Civil War veteran who
unexpectedly find himself transplanted to the planet Mars. Yet this red
planet is far more than a dusty, barren place; it's a fantasy world
populated with giant green barbarians, beautiful maidens in distress,
and weird flora and monstrous fauna the likes of which could only exist
in the author's boundless imagination. Sheer escapism of the tallest
order, the Martian novels are perfect entertainment for those who find
Tarzan's fantastic adventures aren't, well, fantastic enough. Although
this novel can stand alone, there are a total of 11 volumes in this
classic series of otherworldly, swashbuckling adventure. --Stanley Wiater FREE ON AMAZON
