Occultober Day 31 Hiding Among Us by Gilbert M. Stack and Marc Hawkins
Occultober Day 31 Hiding Among Us by Gilbert M. Stack and Marc Hawkins
Even spooky things have to come to an end, so to celebrate the final day of Occultober I’d like to return to my own work and spotlight a novel I co-authored with my friend, Marc Hawkins. Marc and I wanted to craft a paranormal adventure that held within it the seeds of all the classic monsters—werewolves, vampires, zombies, etc.—but didn’t actually use any of them. Instead we created what I believe is a unique paranormal creature and placed them all over the planet fighting their own little wars while humanity goes about its business blissfully unaware of the monsters hiding among them. At least humanity was unaware until Mina Raintree stumbles into a situation that forces her to confront this terrifying reality.
Here’s the blurb: If not for the quick action of a passing stranger, Mina Raintree’s bad-news sister would have bled out in the road. Now the hit-and-run driver who put her in the hospital has fixated on Mina with pathological fury. He wants something Ally stole from him, and the stranger who saved Ally’s life is the only thing standing between Mina and the madman. But who is this good Samaritan who’s always at the wrong place at the right time to help Mina? And is he, like Ally’s crazy-eyed assailant much more than he appears to be? There’s a supernatural community hiding within Philadelphia pretending to be human and Mina, thanks to her younger sister, is about to learn what happens to people who discover there are monsters hiding among us.
Hiding Among Us is available on Amazon both for purchase and as part of the Kindle Unlimited program where it can be read for FREE.
Thank you for joining me for these 31 days of Occultober.
