Excerpt
Amanda Stewart's long blonde hair whipped about her face in the chill night wind. Sweat glistened from her comely face and ran in rivulets to soak her tattered halter-top. Her shapely legs pumped wildly beneath the ragged remains of her navy mini-skirt. The underbrush slashed at her ankles as the rocky ground punished her naked feet. She was thankful to have escaped, but her life was still at risk. She fled without direction through the benighted Canadian woodlands, trying to outdistance her pursuer.
She reached the bottom of a grade and started across a wooded stretch of terrain. A root caught her right foot and she fell forward, striking the ground hard and twisting her ankle. Looking back over her shoulder, she could make out a shadowy shape circling above the treetops. She could sense those evil, glowing eyes scouring the countryside for her. She stifled a cry and lay completely still until it passed. She was terrified because she knew that her pursuer was not of this world.

In the end they'll all be dancin'--all them ones that didn't die.... Dance with me in the shadows amidst the lightning and the thunder, and all that nu-cu-lar debris. See the big bang from the other side, and then open that cellar door. Go down into
