Two nail-biting horror novellas, both riveting and twisted. Big-foot and psychopaths...what more could a reader ask for?
Who says there are no such things as monsters? Take a walk on the wild side into an obscure cave off the beaten path and really explore. There may be more than gold inside...there may be something horrible waiting down a dark tunnel with arms wide open...waiting for you.
Drop by the town of Jasper and find out the meaning of a good old-fashioned barbecue. But watch out, you might end up as the main dish.
Dive into two tales of inexplicable horror: 'A Desert Dweller', and 'Jasper's Deadly Embrace'. Savor a slice of madness and taunting terror. Once you turn the first page there's no going back, and the ride is well worth the price of your sanity.
Excerpt
Rob gasped as the enormous creature moved backward, its' teeth clamped indelibly into the dead man's head. For one brief moment it stopped, dropped the corpse to the floor with a disheartening thud, and listened for signs of intruders.
Both men glanced nervously at each other and swallowed. Time seemed to stand still as the being sniffed appreciatively, testing the atmosphere for unusual odors. Satisfied, the massive beast reached below and snatched up Doug's body. It savagely bit into the flaccid cheek and tore off a chunk of meat as though it were a turkey drumstick. Huge, laboring huffs and snuffles echoed about as it indulged in another series of face chewing, chomping down on Doug's nose and brutally snapping it off with a crunchy pop.
Professional Reviews
I loved this book!
When I picked the book up I could not put it down. The story line was original, the word play professional, and the editing magnificent. Robbin, your book is excellent. In fact, it was so good that I went looking for another one. So, Robbin, where are the others? Please tell me. There are two stories in this book and I enjoyed both of them. The first story is called A Desert Dweller. I was so totally taken in by this story that I found myself biting my nails. The second story is Jasper's Deadly Embrace. The originality of this story was great. This is some of the best reading that I have done in quite a while. So kudos, Robbin Nickaell. I hope you write some more...SOON!
A talent waiting to be discovered!
I discovered this book while doing a web search for new horror written by relatively unknown writers. I ordered a copy and was not disappointed. Ms. Nickaell definitely knows how to spin a good yarn, and her writing skills are solid. All in all a very entertaining pair of stories. I look forward to more from the author.
This book is a must to read!
Growing up in the Arizona desert, this book kept me in suspense from the beginning to end. It was as if I could believe the cave really exists. Jasper is that town too good to be true. Be travel leery--it could happen! This book is a must to read.
