This is the story of a child who has a bit of trouble sleeping. Unlike most children who occasionally have difficulty drifting off to sleep, this particular one's nighttime world has become a place of utter madness.

The Gainesville Slasher, as he was also known, has just found the newest child in a string of bodies the police never recovered. He had done this countless times...but even as he succeeds in kidnapping the next little girl, a fear begins to grow inside him. Something isn't quite right about her....

A couple is stuck in a small town, unable to leave due to a violent storm that seems to have come out of nowhere.

Matthew Herrington has just built a getaway for his friends...friends bonded together by a terrible secret. Lot 150 was supposed to be a place of relaxation, a place to forget about the strange past they all share, but it quickly turns into a place worse than hell itself.

Jeremy Miller is six weeks old. He is not like other children. In fact, no other child on earth is like him. He was somehow born with a fully-functioning adult mind. A unique character study of human nature and moral implications regarding parenthood, The Sixth Week of Jeremy Miller is a dramatic, yet subtly unsettling listen.

Officer Jennifer King has just been promoted to detective. Her first case lands her in a strange set of serial killings, where the unknown man leaves letters promising that "in the end...you will honor me". The killer describes his work as something that will "redefine the age we live in", promising to become more than legend and a figure that will be remembered forever. Most police on the force write the unknown killer off as a lunatic...someone living under the illusion of grandeur...but there is something so familiar about his letters. Too familiar.
