**Nominated for the Bram Stoker Award® - Superior Achievement in Novel - 2012** Paul Henninger is a rookie cop on San Antonio's troubled East Side, where every night is a war against the gangs and the drug dealers. But Paul has a dark past, and a dark inheritance. The ghost of Martin Henninger has returned to make sure his son, Paul, delivers on his apocalyptic charge, the result of Martin's black magic, and he’s killing everyone in his path. With his two worlds colliding, and the body count stacking up, Paul soon finds himself the lead suspect in a series of grisly cult-style killings, and in an emotional standoff between duty, the truth, his wife, and his dead family. Meanwhile, Keith Anderson, San Antonio's best homicide detective, is hot on Paul's heels. His investigation takes him deep into the secrets of Paul's family. But what he finds there just might kill them both. “When I started reading Inheritance, my first reaction was one word—WOW! I kept reading, and I was blown away. Police procedural? Yeah. Horror novel? That, too. But most importantly—one helluva novel. Joe tells a roaring good tale, and when you finish it, you’ll have a lot to say, but WOW will be the first word out of your mouth.” —Rick Hautala, author of Glimpses and Indian Summer “An artful haunting with the gloomy quality of a Terrance Malick crime drama” —Weston Ochse, author of SEAL Team 666 “With Inheritance, Joe McKinney delivers a first-rate supernatural thriller with edge-of-your-seat suspense, a high-octane plot, and pitch-black horror. Add to this mix strong characterization and an insider’s knowledge of law enforcement, and you have one of the best novels I’ve read in ages. I loved it!” —Tim Waggoner, author of The Harmony Society and Like Death “Joe McKinney has proven, yet again, that he is a true literary genius. Inheritance is a breath-taking thrill ride masterfully crafted to grip the reader, pulling them deep into the nightmares of its characters with a level of suspense that steals the breath from your lungs. Brilliant!” — Gabrielle Faust, author of Revenge and Eternal Vigilance “Joe McKinney delivers. Inheritance is a brisk, wry and deliriously creepy tale of family secrets and black magic that is guaranteed to get your goat!” —Harry Shannon, author of Dead and Gone and The Hungry

Jeani Rector and the Horror Zine have compiled another classic anthology of unsettling and stomach-churning tales in the tradition of Pan Books or Weird Tales, and introduced us to a motley band of new horror talent, some of whom will no doubt become household names in the genre in time. This unrepentant volume reminds us why the small press is such a force in dark literature. “The Horror Zine is the true home of today’s visceral, organic horror, and the stories in SHRIEKS AND SHIVERS reflect the courage and imagination with which Jeani Rector has sustained this genre for the past six years. Be prepared to encounter the grue in gruesome, not only brought to you by some very experienced butchers but by some fearless and inspired new dabblers in blood, entrails and other things too horrifying to mention.” – Graham Masterton, author of Plague of the Manitou “A potent witch’s brew of horror veterans spiced with succulent new blood.” – Scott Nicholson, author of The Red Church “The stories in SHRIEKS AND SHIVERS is like a sampling from the weird, visceral darkness of the collective mind. Some of the authors are old friends, reliably creepy friends who deliver exactly what you want. What might surprise the reader is the number of new writers to devour. And there are angles on the human condition from which you never thought to look—and perhaps should not have. Endlessly creative takes on zombies, paranoia, and the monsters within. You’ll read this collection long into the night. You might want to fall asleep with the lights on.” – Susie Moloney, author of The Thirteen “Jeani Rector has the experience to know horror inside and out. She picks only the best of today’s writers for her anthologies. I can easily see some of her hand-picked talent carrying horror into the next decade.” – D. W. Jones, Editor, Blood Moon Rising Magazine “A perfect storm of a horror anthology—dread thundering through the stories, lightning flashes of terror, a hurricane of visceral thrills.” – Simon Clark, author of The Night of the Triffids “There are some really good short stories in this collection. Some eerie. Some disturbing. Some I wish were true: I’d probably find the freak tent to see Hercules in a tank of honey.” – Cetywa Powell, Editor/Publisher, Underground Voices Magazine FEATURING ALL NEW FICTION TAPEWORM by Martin Rose OLD HAUNTS by Nathan Robinson “I’LL BE WATCHING” by William F.

Now, retired U.S. Marshal Ed Moore must lead a group of strangers to safety, searching for sanctuary from the dead. A last chance for the living . . . let the battle begin. In the North Dakota Grasslands, bands of survivors converge upon a single outpost. Run by a self-appointed preacher of fierce conviction—and frightening beliefs—it may be humanity's only hope.
