The year is 1991, and the world is changing.

For Landon Crane, the future couldn’t look brighter. He’s madly in love with a beautiful girl who’ll be leaving with him for college in just over a month. The small mountain town of Mineral Springs will be hosting the largest Independence Day celebration in its history to welcome home war hero Travis James, highlighting the ultimate summer of freedom.

The year is 1991, and nothing will ever be the same.

Travis has returned with more than the Medal of Honor. He’s brought something else with him, something capable of inflicting unimaginable pain and suffering. Before the night is through, Landon and the rest of the residents of Mineral Springs will be forced to answer the most terrifying question of all.

Who among them will survive?

Immun3 is a mini-hardcover (4.5 inches by 6.25 inches) novella side-sewn with a graphic wraparound cover on the boards.

The smoke ring rose, higher and higher, changing shape as it went, until it disappeared into a cloud that moments ago had looked like the caboose of a train, a cloud that now began to change, to mold and meld, to twist and turn and take on the shape of the thing that had entered it. This thing, this dark entity, hung frozen in the sky, calling those chosen few out from their houses, their bars and their factories, calling them forth to face what waited in that dark and foreboding night.

Justin Henry didn’t believe his friend had seen a Ferris wheel rise up from the ground like a runaway vine. But he followed Mickey Reardon out to the overgrown field at the edge of their little country community anyway.

Now two thirteen-year-old boys have seen something they shouldn’t have, witnessed something they couldn’t have, and neither of their lives will ever be the same again.

The carnival is in town, a very different kind of carnival this year.

One no one will be coming home from.

Cyesolagniac:

1. One who experiences sexuoerotic arousal at the sight of a pregnant woman.

2. One with a fetish for pregnant women.

Everything is going right for Heyton. Just hours away from closing the business deal of a lifetime, he’s about to become very rich and the envy of all his competitors. With night falling, he should be relaxing in his hotel room, getting some much needed rest before his big day.

But Heyton has a compulsion, one that has him cruising the streets in the seedy section of town, desperately searching for the perfect woman to satisfy his sick needs.

Like an angel, she appears. The face of a cheerleader and the swollen, gloriously gravid body of a Madonna, she’s willing to sell her body for his fulfillment.

Everything is about to go very wrong for Heyton. In a fleabag hotel room, he will learn an important lesson . . . “People are never what they seem.”

From Edward Lee comes a story of fetishism and depravity that only the master of extreme horror could tell.

Monsters . . . they are seen all around us, and yet no real proof has ever been discovered.

Fact, or Fiction?

Modern day adventures seek them out in hopes to discover evidence of their existence, and signs of the mythical truth.

Regardless of the truth, pray that you never encounter one . . . Paul Melniczek takes us on a monster quest across the continents you will soon not forget.
