      Shaddock Valley. A maximum security prison that houses the worst of the worst: drug gangs, psychopaths, rapists, gangters, and outlaw bikers. In a place like that, a skinny little kid like Danny Palmquist doesn't stand a chance. It doesn't take long before the hardtimers move in on him. Then they begin to die horribly. In locked cells.

      Five months after her sister Gloria disappeared, Kitty Seevers receives a lock of Gloria's hair in the mail. No return address. Just a cryptic message that brings Kitty to the Bamboo Lounge and into the twisted realm of ventriloquist Ronny McBane and his dummy, Piggy. Kitty descends into a haunted place where reality is frayed, where the puppetmaster and puppet seem to have reversed roles-a nightmare place where a dummy moves and speaks when his master is nowhere near him. Kitty suspects not only is there something wrong with McBane and his dummy, but a greater evil is at work as those named by the dummy are dying horrible deaths. And now she has been named by the same soul-eater that destroyed her sister.

      War Is Hell! There are no winners and no losers, only survival and lost souls amongst the crow-picked bones and corpse-fields. These are the Horrors of War and each has a gruesome story to tell. In the claustrophobic nightmare tunnels of Vietnam, a tunnel rat becomes something less than human. During the Mongol Invasions, a sadistic warrior meets his match in the mother of famine and pestilence. In the human slaughterhouse of Stalingrad, a bloodthirsty creature out of folklore feeds on the dead and dying. And during the height of the Indian Wars, a demonic medicine man returns from the grave with an army of the undead to feed upon white invaders. From the mindless brutality of the Napoleonic Wars to the hell zones of modern Iraq, the maggoty flesh of the Horrors of War is peeled back to reveal the yellowed bones of Death within, ever patient and ever hungry.

      On Pine Street, the houses begin to shake. The earth begins to move. The streets crack open and yards split asunder...and rising from subterranean depths far below, a viscid black muck bubbles up and floods the neighborhood. In it are a ravenous army of gigantic worms seeking human flesh. They wash into houses, they come up through the sewers, through plumbing, filling toilets and tubs, seeking human prey. Cut off from the rest of the town, the people of Pine Street must wage a war of survival or they'll never see morning. As bad as the worms are, there's something worse-and far larger-waiting to emerge.
