Night Thirst
by Patrick Whalen
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN THE HUNGER BEGINS.
Yesterday, they ruled a lonely monastery on a deserted island in the Pacific Northwest. Tonight, an entire city is theirs.
They are the New Ones, a thoroughly modern breed of vampires terrifyingly unlike the blood-feeding Ancients who came before them. Now Seattle burst with the unholy presence of nocturnal predators, for whom the hot, salty liquid from their living victims means not only survival, but superhuman power-and indescribable ecstasy. Those they feed on rise again. They climb from beneath darkened streets, driven by a raging thirst that can never be sated.
The humans who hurt them say there is nothing in this world that can’t be destroyed. They’re wrong…
Out of the Night
by Patrick Whalen
The strangers came under cover of darkness and camped high on the hill just west of town. Then the deaths began – horrible, savage, beyond comprehension – one every night for five nights. When two young boys disappeared, the enraged townsfolk of Ravina swept up the cemetery hill, a dark vengeful mass knowing neither pity nor remorse – only the terrible need to shed blood for blood. In their walk they left six grim shadows hanging from a gnarled oak tree.
A century later the cemetery still stands atop the hill. The mortuary is presided over by the horrcove twins, wizened old men who rarely see the light of day. And death has returned to Ravina, California. A series of grotesque murders committed at night has the town in the grip of terror.
Only one man – famed archeologist Martin Larchmont – suspects the truth. His convictions are looked upon as the raving of a crazy old man, yet as the murders continue, only Larchmont can save the town. He joins forces with Sheriff Henry Sutton, once a non-believer, now driven by hi own desire for revenge.
Together they must fight against the consuming evil that threatens to engulf them all…
Deathwalker
by Patrick Whalen
WHEN DEATH STIRS THE EARTH QUAKES WITH RAGE AND FEAR
After a century of buried silence, in Avallon, Washington, a fissure opens to the light and a creature awakens from a stony sleep. Driven by Indian sprits, it is the Witiko, gatherer of power, harvester of human flesh and blood…..
On the Maine coast hired assassins search for their target: John Winter, a former government hit man one of their own. Winter is dying of Cancer even while he’s marked for death. Heading west is his station wagon, he hopes to slip beyond the reach of the hired killers, but they follow close behind all the way across the county…
In the vast, majestic Northwest, the citizens of Avallon are also being pursued – by a more unearthly, insatiable force. A charred tribe of blackened corpses, the newly dead are descending from the mountains, threatening the town and its determined young police chief, Erin O’Donnell.
For her, for John Winter, for everyone, the truth will soon be revealed. Living death, the ghastly legacy of the Witiko, is their only chance for survival…
Monastery
by Patrick Whalen
“THOSE THAT ARE HERE WILL BECOME AS US. THOSE THAT COME HERE WILL MEET THE SAME FATE. NOTHING CAN STOP US. NOTHING.”
Chinook Island, twenty-six miles off the coast of Washington State…a solitary place of windswept cliffs and brooding skies. A place where a godforsaken abbey stands sentry over an ancient, unholy secret. Long ago, two priests took a vow in blood-a vow to silence forever the evil entombed below.
Today the guardians are gone. And with a promise forged in hell, the madness is beginning Again. Now a preternatural hunger stalks the people of Chinook Island. In the shadows, human flesh is torn, ravaged, drained. Bodies are resurrected. And gruesome solders form an unspeakable army.
This time the creatures of the night…the living dead…will survive. Many will be lured within the hallowed, haunted chambers. They will find no escape, no peace, no rest. Not even death…
This Special Issue features stories and non-fiction celebrating apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction.
