About this listen
A hub of scientific innovation burns, and its ashes ride an easterly wind. What was for a brief time is no more, but the ecology of Long Island is forever altered...
Terror crawls from the shadows and Scott Ward emerges from his mundane existence into a waking nightmare.
Mutant camelback crickets with razor-sharp teeth prowl the streets, turning the village of Stones Throw into a battleground where survival becomes the only instinct and due process is a bullet. As the infestation grows and the town’s charming facade deteriorates, fear tightens its grip and Ward is forced to grapple with the primal choice of flight or fight. Scuttling horrors hide in every shadow, and each move plunges him deeper into the harrowing abyss of his once-familiar world.
Can Ward and his companions escape the monstrous onslaught, or will Stones Throw and its citizens succumb to an unspeakable fate?
From the author of TRAGIC: A Cryptid Horror Thriller, The Cryptid Club, and Crimson Falls comes Crics, a fast-paced cryptid-thriller filled with deadly creatures so real you’ll feel the mutants crawling on your skin.

The legend of the Ozark Howler is as old as the mountains themselves, the bloody tales of terror, mutilation, and murder a foundation block in the region’s folklore. Skeptics dismiss the Howler as nothing more than tall tales and the work of overactive imaginations, but those who have seen the monster tell a different tale. Carter Renfrow is hiding from his past and living the life of a wanted man when a multi-car pileup interrupts his plans, and two worlds collide in an epic clash with life and death hanging in the balance.

Story
When two marines and their corpsman reunite after a decade apart, they find themselves caught up in the mystery of their former squad leader’s disappearance. With little more to go on than a handful of disturbing charcoal sketches and the whispers of a local legend, they plunge into the depths of one of America’s last truly wild places. But the trees themselves begin to whisper dark secrets. Secrets of trafficking and violence. Of rotten science and blood. Of something else that lurks in the shadows of the pines—something ancient, savage, and hungry.

It had been a rough five years for Memphis Police Officer Jake Jessup. Blaming himself for the death of two partners, a divorce, and almost losing his job, the three-day canoe and kayak trip in the Ozarks sounded like the perfect way to reconnect with family and friends, and to put old demons to rest. What he found instead were a new set of demons, only these were real...and deadly. A float turns tragic for a group of boaters when a secret military project escapes into the Ozark Mountains of West Arkansas.
