About the book
BLOOD RUNS DEEP IN THE HOLLER—AND SOMETHING HUNGRY WAITS IN THE DARK.
When the Haint’s Rest Mine caves in, eighteen men are trapped underground. But what crawls out of the dark isn’t human.
Sheriff Hunter Gallogly wants answers, but the bodies piling up across Haint’s Hollow tell their own story—throats ripped open, no blood left behind. His cousins, Greg and Bob, run the holler’s drug trade and don’t believe in monsters. But when their crew starts dying, denial isn’t an option.
Something ancient is feeding in the mountains. Something tied to the Gallogly family’s past.
As lawmen and outlaws clash, blood ties and backwoods justice won’t be enough to stop what’s coming. Because once night falls in the hollow, no one is safe.
Haint is a brutal Appalachian horror tale of family, vengeance, and survival—perfect for fans of Stephen King’s ’Salem’s Lot, Brian Keene, and grim rural noir.

About the book
Inspired by stories from One Thousand and One Nights, this book weaves together the gripping tale of a legendary smuggler, a cowardly prince, and a dangerous quest across the desert to find a legendary, magical lamp.
Neither here nor there, but long ago . . .
Loulie al-Nazari is the Midnight Merchant: a criminal who, with the help of her jinn bodyguard, hunts and sells illegal magic. When she saves the life of a cowardly prince, she draws the attention of his powerful father, the sultan, who blackmails her into finding an ancient lamp that has the power to revive the barren land—at the cost of sacrificing all jinn.
With no choice but to obey or be executed, Loulie journeys with the sultan's oldest son to find the artifact. Aided by her bodyguard, who has secrets of his own, they must survive ghoul attacks, outwit a vengeful jinn queen, and confront a malicious killer from Loulie's past. And, in a world where story is reality and illusion is truth, Loulie will discover that everything—her enemy, her magic, even her own past—is not what it seems, and she must decide who she will become in this new reality.
