Love your thrillers good n' scary? Get lost in Hollow Scream.




THE FINAL SCREAM IS HOLLOW

The small mountain town of Crescent Hollow has a serial killer, or is it three?
Women are being murdered in a grisly fashion. Now the killer has targeted one in particular and Wyatt Thomas has vowed to keep her safe.  

HIS BURIAL GROUND HAS BEEN DESECRATED

Forensic psychiatrist Wyatt Thomas has escaped the city to the quiet mountain town of Crescent Hollow to finish his latest book on serial killers.  Cutting himself off from the outside world appears to be a great idea until his work follows him.  A serial killer’s graveyard has been located nearby. As more bodies are unearthed there appears to be three separate MO’s.  The mystery is more than he can resist.

HIS ANGER UNSURPASSED

Special Agents Annie Thomas and Blake Hayashi of the FBI’s Behavior Analyst Unit have been sent to the George Washington Jefferson National Forest to aid local law enforcement with a case.  Either a serial killer has been active in the area for roughly fifty years, or three killers are using the same dumping ground. 

SOMEONE MUST PAY

Seasoned homicide detective Merrybell Montgomery left her career in Philly to take care of her ailing husband in his hometown of Crescent Hollow, Virginia. Although he passed over a year ago, she’s remained in the picturesque town with no idea what to do with the rest of her life. Suddenly she finds herself stuck in the middle of a nightmare. She’s being stalked by a serial killer and has no idea what put her in his sights.

NO ONE IS SAFE

Now they must all work together to stop a killer or die trying.

ICE SCREAM 


YOU CAN’T SCREAM

Somewhere in the vast Alaskan wilderness hides a psychotic monster. His methods are unlike any other serial killer to date. He likes his women cold, frozen to be exact. Once finished with a victim, he displays her like a twisted piece of art.

YOU CAN’T RUN

FBI Agent Annie Thomas is on leave after the loss of her fiancé, Matt Locklear. She has spent the better part of a year in his one-bedroom cabin in the wilds of Alaska. Lately she’s had the feeling of being watched. Is her self-imposed exile getting the better of her?

YOU CAN’T HIDE

Homicide Detective Stone Wooshkeetaan has become a driven man. He would work 24/7 if he could, anything to prevent him from sleeping. He’s the one who found the mutilated body of his friend, Matt, an image that has haunted his dreams ever since.
                                                         
YOU CAN’T MOVE

It’s the day after Christmas and Draper’s Pond is filled with the sound of laughing children as they race around on the ice trying out their new skates. Little do they know a dark cloud looms ahead. Two little girls are holding hands and spinning as fast as they can until they break apart. One goes sliding into a snow bank. Once she rises, a blood curdling scream rips from her tiny throat, silencing the crowd. Directly below her is the body of a woman trapped under the ice; her hands up as if warding off an attack, her mouth frozen in a silent scream.
                                                   
HE WINS

The woman’s death was not an accident and Stone is certain this isn’t the killer’s first victim. He asks Annie to help him prove it, but before long the investigation takes a sinister turn. The bodies of women start showing up all over the Mat-Su Valley looking like horrific ice sculptures. Now Annie and Stone are on the hunt for a sadistic killer hiding in a state over twice the size of Texas and largely comprised of uninhabited wilderness.  They must capture this beast before he finishes his perverse agenda and disappears…

AGAIN.

LAST SCREAM 


EACH SCREAM COULD BE YOUR LAST

He kidnaps them. Punishes them. Sends them to Hell. Then displays them so everyone recognizes them as sinners.

IF HE FINDS YOU

Texas Ranger William Thomas, is called to a gruesome scene where the nude body of a mutilated woman has been found. Kneeling. Trussed to a tree. Hands bound together in prayer. Cradling something ghastly in her arms. No sooner does he catch the case, when the FBI swoops in to steal it.

HE WILL NEVER 

Special Agent Savannah St. Germaine, is working a case in Louisiana where a killer has been staging macabre scenes right out of the Bible. When a similar MO shows up in Texas, she’s certain it's the same monster and heads to Austin to investigate further. Her suspicions are confirmed, but the powers that be aren't willing to hand over the case. If she wants to work it, she'll have to partner up with one of their own.

LET YOU GO

Lorelei Hamilton finally gets the nerve to leave her abusive husband. Everything is well thought out. She’ll ditch her car, dump her cell phone, change her name and establish a new identity. But she hadn't planned on being abducted by a sadistic maniac who makes her husband's violent outbursts look like child's play.

Now Will and Savy are on the hunt for the most prolific serial killer the South has ever seen. Can they catch him before he claims his next victim?

NIGHT SCREAM


NO ONE WILL HEAR YOU SCREAM

A psychotic killer terrorizing a small mountain town sets his sights on those hunting him.            

Special Agent Cody Thomas, from the FBI’s Violent Crimes Unit in Los Angeles, decides to take a week off in the small mountain town of Big Bear. Do a little fishing, a little hiking.

HE'S WATCHING

Deputy Jilly Reid left the Central Homicide Unit of San Bernardino and moved up the mountain to her hometown to get away from death and the devastating things people do to one another. Handing out parking tickets all day is just fine with her.


No sooner does Cody hit the town when he runs into Jilly, a girl he knew in high school. But there's no time to reminisce, she's in a hurry. An incoherent call came into dispatch. A fisherman down in Hunters Cove is carrying on about finding dead women.  A lot of them.

HE'S WAITING

Cody joins Jilly on the call. What they find doesn’t belong in the sleepy little town. An underwater graveyard. A deranged killer used the lake as a dump site. Seven mutilated bodies. Chained by their feet to cinder blocks. Fish food.  Completely unrecognizable.  The only assumption is they’re women because of their long flowing tresses waving back and forth in the current.  Their distorted faces set in a silent scream for all eternity.

HE'S PISSED

The victims had obviously been in the water for some time, so naturally Cody and Jilly think the killer is long gone. Until he begins taunting them. He’s out there watching their every move and letting them know he could take them out whenever he wants. Then women begin disappearing at an alarming rate.

YOU'RE DEAD

Now they must stop this sadistic killer or die trying.

SANDMAN 



BEWARE THE SANDMAN—HE’LL PUT YOU TO SLEEP. . .FOREVER

A serial killer on the loose, a woman with a psychotic stalker and a homicide detective who must find the connection before it’s too late.

He collects women. Imprisons them. Plays with them. Tortures them. He gathers souvenirs. His trophies are many.

LOCK YOUR DOORS AND PULL THE SHADES

Meagan McInnis is being psychologically tormented. Her dog has become restless. He barks incessantly, but when peering out into the darkened abyss, there’s no one in sight. The image of a pair of eyes staring back from the pitch haunts her. The phone startles her awake, only dead air answers her plea. Until the night she stumbles upon a grisly display in her garden.

THE CALLER IS SILENT NO MORE
   
Seasoned, Homicide Detective, J.J. Thomas, is working his most horrific case to date, and he’s seen some pretty gruesome things in his time. The monster he’s hunting ranks up there with Ed Gein. He wouldn’t be surprised to find lampshades made out of human skin in the psycho’s living room.

THEY CALL HIM THE SANDMAN

With no one else available, Thomas is called out to a crime scene in the wee hours of the morning. He’s told to pass the case off as soon as possible, so he can focus on his own investigation. But that’s before he realizes the ghastly exhibit and his case are linked.  Better yet, that Meagan McInnis, is the key to discovering the Sandman’s true identity.

SWEET DREAMS

With his department grossly understaffed, only he and his partner, Shadowhawk, can see to Meagan’s safety. At the same time delve deep into her past to uncover just how she became the obsession of this sadistic killer before she becomes his next prize.
