When Bonesaw, an early 20th-century gangster, is rescued from prison by the Brotherhood, he doesn’t realize it is actually a kidnapping. They need him to spy on one of their own generals, and to do so, he has to go through their version of Basic Training, also known as the Gauntlet. Nearly a century later, Detective Katherine Wheeler investigates a string of murders with similar, horrifying details: Each victim dies when something huge erupts out of their bodies. Unbeknownst to her, the attacks are the beginning of an invasion, one that could wipe out all of mankind.

Everything’s fresh on Lilith’s Farm. Especially the bodies. A sinister forest, toxic fungus, and the dark secrets of a crazy old woman meet in a tale of vengeance, betrayal, and terror. Cece grew up in Spotsylvania, Virginia, but she left a long time ago. She’d rather live the life of the road dog than stay in that backwoods dump, even if it means never having a place of her own.

It’s been almost a year since the Hive landed. Billions are dead. Mothers. Fathers. Children. The aliens, with their spikey balls, their Macks, their crazy monsters, seem to be unstoppable. Until now. Between me, the Girl, and Dr. H’s brilliant inventions, we’re going to put a stop to the Hive once and for all.

After a terrible prank gone wrong, three young men, Topher, Michael, and Kenneth find themselves at Raleigh's Prep, a juvenile detention center for the delinquent children of the fantastically rich. Basically, juvie for rich kids. The boys think they're going to serve out their time, finish their education, but then, three weeks into their term, they find a mangled body on the practice fields.

Winter was worse than I could have ever imagined. I lost my home and my friends and everything I ever knew. Good thing Timmy Carter’s still around. At least for now. But spring comes with its own set of horrors, including crypto-monsters, melonhead kids, mad scientists, and at long last, the return of the Hive. I’m going to need a lot of allies if I’m going to make it through alive.

Hey, y’all. It’s Amanda again. Amanda May Jett. Now that the Hives are all gone and the Macks are burned to ashes, I thought that maybe life would have gotten a little easier out here on the farm. But the next few months brings its own set of problems, including blizzards, banshees, and rolling balls of death. Not to mention the appearance of Otis and Annie O and their humdinger of a boss, Hangnail. Fall was bad enough, but it’s going to be a beast of a winter.

My name is Amanda. Amanda May Jett. My daddy and I live in Spotsylvania County, VA, where we enjoy the fresh air and a healthy farmer's lifestyle. At least until an alien hive crashes to earth and kills our neighbors. Now it's up to us to stop the invaders and save the world, no matter how many tentacles, body-snatchers, and brain-cracking fungi they send our way.

The Federal lay up against the wire fence. His cheeks were sunken, his legs broken. In the distance he heard the joyful sound of children approaching. Maybe they could help? But this was Salvation, and nobody ever got out of Salvation alive.

The world has ended. The country devolves into pockets of self-sufficient communities, and salt is now currency. A desperate man thinks he's found salvation in a small rural town ruled by the Fat Man. The Fat Man is willing to let him stay as long as he can help them find salt, and the only place he knows where to find some is in the city, where mutants lurk the streets, searching for human flesh.

Dan didn't want to interview the old man about his stupid plant. He was tired and hung over, and the old man's house was creepy and dark. He wanted to smoke a cigarette, but the old man wouldn't let him. Dan tried to get him to talk about the plant, but all he'd discuss was fertilizer, all the different blends and how he discovered them. And he kept pushing him to drink that nasty tea.

Something evil is swimming in the waters of the Rappahannock River. Jason Riddle knows it. He and his brothers thought they'd killed it in the summer of 1933. Seventy years later, that evil has returned, and Riddle knows that he has to destroy it once and for all, or the town will be overrun.

Hey. How you doing? See that old abandoned townhouse over there? Ever since I was a kid, all kinds of rumors been spinning around about that place. Blood oozing out the walls, knives slicing through the air. Friggin' nightmare. Well, one day these two bullies chucked little Ronnie Resnick's ball through one of them windows, and now it's up to me to get it back. Little did anybody know what great ideas that would give me.
