The original screenplay written by Sean Costello that the novel SQUALL was based upon. Bush pilot and family man Tom Stokes is about to face the worst day of his life. On a clear winter morning he sets out in his Cessna 180 to do some repairs on a remote hunt camp, leaving his five year old son and very pregnant wife snug in their beds. On the return trip, a squall forces him into an emergency landing and he winds up--quite literally--in the lap of petty criminal Dale Knight. Dale, now a fugitive from the law--and worse, from a merciless drug lord who just happens to be his brother--draws Tom into a web of mayhem and treachery that puts not only his life at risk, but the lives of his wife, son...and unborn child. SQUALL is a fast-paced, darkly-comic tale of murder and gang-style retribution that grabs the reader on page one and simply does not let go. WARNING: This book contains adult language and violence.

Scott Bowman is now a respected psychiatrist living the good life, but sixteen years ago he and his friends accidentally committed a terrible crime.  The group swore itself to secrecy and everyone's mouth was sealed out of guilt.  None suspected that there had been another present to remember their crime.  A creepy new addition to Scott?s roster of patients at the local psychiatry ward proves to be more than a helpless, mad old man with a talent for drawing.  Lurking behind the man?s eerily realistic drawings is a soul driven by twisted passions and malignant anger, creating the nightmarish visions on paper.  These soon draw the doctor into a dark world of freak accidents and horrifying deaths.  In a final and deadly confrontation with an old hatred, Scott Bowman is driven to confront the most dangerous edges of sanity, where reality is indistinguishable from imagination.

You see the child in your peripheral vision, don't you? You hear the sweet voice, surely. You've got to follow it, find it, bring it home...now, right now.
The loss of a child is a parent's worst nightmare... Sound like a cliché? A dead metaphor? InHere After, Sean Costello galvanizes it again. Costello's first novel since 2002,Here After is a psychological/supernatural thriller whose laconic yet driven prose induces a claustrophobic atmosphere in the reader to match the one the protagonist is experiencing.
Following the death of his ten-year-old son, physician Peter Croft embarks on a desperate, seemingly random search for a missing child, sacrificing even his career in a grief-induced quest. His journey propels him into the darkest reaches of human loss, and pits him squarely against an adversary whose own obsession defies all reason.
Here After is a story of love, loss, obsession and redemption with gripping action sequences and a subtle supernatural underpinning. A compelling read from a seasoned storyteller, Costello's sixth novel will keep you reading deep into the night.

Here After

Your Scrivener Pr

Imagine you're a sudden quadriplegic, confined to bed and wheelchair, locked inside your head... Now imagine you're watching the person you've loved drift away, inexorably, despite your screams... How long would it be before your anguished howls became snarls of a rising anger? Now imagine what you would do if that rage, at its extremity, forced a chink in the walls of your physical prison, and set you free...to fly, to penetrate, and to possess.
A mass market success when it first came out in 1991, Sean Costello's Captain Quad has been unavailable for many years. With the success ofHere After in 2008 Sean's followers from the early 90s spread the word to his new fans that there was a world of wonders not to be missed. Except...the early Costello books were almost impossible to find, andCaptain Quad had never been reprinted. Sean and Scrivener Press decided to remedy that with a newly revised and updated version of Peter Gardner's simultaneously exhilarating and claustrophobic quest to bend love and life to his mad will.

Literary

A NOVEL OF TERROR AND MEDICAL SUSPENSE 
People put their lives in doctors' hands every day--but in no other situation is this so precisely true as at the moment the anesthesiologist looks down at you and says, "You'll be going off to sleep now . . ." 
But what if the eyes that gaze at you in that moment of trust and surrender belong to a madman? What if, as you feel yourself slipping away, you see something so rank and terrifying in those eyes you want to leap off the table and scream? 
But by then, of course, it's too late. 
A novel of terror and medical suspense from the author of Squall and Here After. 
Pray you never meet the Sandman\n"A real page-turner. I think you can read any of Sean Costello's books and not be disappointed. It has the twists of Jeffrey Deaver, the suspense of James Patterson, and the depth of characters of Dean Koonz."
