Sleeping With The EnemyThey hide in mattresses. They wait till you''re asleep. They rise in the dead of night to feast on your blood. They can multiply by the hundreds in less than a week. They are one of the most loathsome, hellish species to ever grace God''s green earth. Thought to be eradicated decades ago, thanks to global travel they''re back. And with them comes a nightmare beyond imagining. Bed bugs. Infected with a plague virus so deadly it makes Ebola look like a summer cold. One bite turns people into homicidal maniacs. Now they''re in Chicago. And migrating to all points north, south, east, and west. The rest of the world is already itching. The U.S. government and the CDC are helpless to stop it. Only one man knows what''s causing the epidemic. And the powers-that-be want him dead. "A fresh new talent with an amazing ability to astonish." --David Morrell, bestselling author of First Blood

A slew of mysterious disappearances are only the beginning of trouble for a smalltown Illinois sheriff in this horror novel by the author of Sleep Tight.

Corn is America’s grain and the very stuff of life. Now, scientists have created a genetically modified strain that repels all pests. It also unknowingly contains the DNA of a rare species of fungus that is invasive, virulently infectious, and very deadly.

First, the fungus eats through your skin. Then, growths appear on your body, sprouting like hideously malignant mushrooms. Finally, the skin cracks and splits, releasing countless spores into the air. First you die—but the worst is still to come—the fungus uses your body. To kill. In a desperate attempt to check the invasion, millions of acres of cornfields have been burned down. But the epidemic has a relentless life of its own—and it will not be stopped.

In the small town of Sutter Creek, Illinois, a container of corn seeds has been planted—and a new strain of nightmare has been unleashed. This year’s crop won’t taste like any other.

This year’s crop will eat you alive. And Sutter’s Creek is ground zero for an epidemic that could destroy the world.

"I see him riding in on a Harley, the Jesus of my day. His hair is long and wild from the wind and it looks like he''s been on the road for a while. But his eyes are still bright, and he smiles when he sees me. I guess he travels light because his saddlebags are mostly empty..."

Take a ride with a man who is forced to discover what a modern day Jesus would do; where he would go and what he would wear. Would he have tattoos, and if so, how many? What type of people would he hang with, and what might cause a scandal if he were doing it right here and now?

Experience a journey on the back of a Harley - a ride where faith and fiction collide with the non-fiction that sustains it; where imagination becomes wonder, and wonder itself leads to action.

An action-packed nightmarish thriller about a deadly wasp invasion threatening to wipe mankind from the face of the planet, but the author of Sleep Tight. THEY DON’T JUST STING YOU.  They lay their eggs in human flesh. They hatch and crawl beneath the skin. Then they grow wings and burst out of the body. A rare species of wasp from the Amazon jungle, they are unusually large, extremely aggressive—and coming to America on the next international flight . . .  THEY BREED INSIDE OF YOU. On a Florida-bound plane from Honduras, a baby screams in pain. Minutes later, the wasps emerge from their human host. They attack the passengers, sting the crew, and send the plane crashing into the gulf. No one survives. Over three hundred bodies are pulled from the wreckage. Bodies injected with tens of thousands of eggs . . .  CALL THE EXTERMINATORS. In a Miami morgue, the larvae feast on the dead. Then they erupt from the corpses, attacking every living human in sight. Soon they are swarming across the state, spreading throughout the country,  breeding and growing in number, size—and viciousness. Pesticides won’t stop them. But a young entomologist and a motley crew of military convicts are fighting back—using science, smoking grenades, and flamethrowers. They call themselves The Exterminators. And they’ll do whatever it takes to wipe these nasty buggers off the face of the earth—before they kill us all . . .  Prepare yourself for a skin-crawling shocker by Jeff Jacobson, the acclaimed master of cult horror classics like Sleep Tight, Growth, and Wormfood.  “A talent with an amazing ability to astonish.” —David Morrell, bestselling author of First Blood
