A group of college students visit an old mining town in Colorado to witness the phenomenon of ghost lights floating in the field. After seeing the spectral orbs dance at night, the group stumbles upon an unmarked grave and accidentally unearths a mysterious chest. When they manage to get the chest open, they release something more terrifying than any ghost lights. Something that hungers for life. Something that needs a human vessel so it can kill again.
Michael Yowell (1969 - ) was born in Denver, Colorado, and lived in Colorado for 46 years before relocating to his current home in Columbia, South Carolina. He is a horror fiction author. Michael has loved the horror genre since childhood, whether it be in the form of comics, novels, or movies.
His short stories have been published in e-zines and print anthologies (Writing Shift, Sanitarium, Thirteen, and Blood, Brains & Bullets). His books include the haunted house tale DEVILHOUSE, the werewolf-hunter novels THE DOGCATCHER, THE DOGCATCHER II: CHUPACABRAS, and THE DOGCATCHER III: WEREWOLF QUEEN, his short-horror-story collections FRAGMENTS AND SHARDS and FRAGMENTS AND SHARDS II, his terrifying killer-vs-reporter novel THE CAMERA EYE, his sea-monsters trilogy SLIGGERS, SLIGGER ISLAND, and SLIGGER INVASION, the spine-chilling GHOSTFIELD, the creepy PIRANTULAS, and his Western (yes, Western) novel RED PINES.
A Horror story with a mystery, always makes for a great story. This is the kind of book that the reader will want to read while cuddled up in a warm bed. The author throws in some creepy twists to keep the reader on their toes. A great read.
