BURIED
Barbara Eberstark wants a fresh start. Newly married and moving to Seattle with her husband, Craig, she is determined to leave behind the trauma that has shaped her life since she was sixteen—a burden she has spent years masking with alcohol, self-doubt, and avoidance.
Then a record-breaking blizzard buries their Dodge Durango in the Cascade Mountains.
Trapped beneath five feet of snow with dwindling supplies and no hope of rescue, Barbara and Craig struggle to survive the cold. But the storm is only the beginning. Barbara begins hearing the voice of Dustin, the cousin who died years ago. He speaks to her from inside the vehicle, dredging up memories she has spent years trying to forget. Whether ghost or hallucination, Dustin refuses to leave her alone.
Outside, something waits in the snow.
An intelligent predator stalks the mountains surrounding the buried SUV, watching, hunting, and turning every attempt at escape into a deadly risk. As Barbara's world shrinks to a frozen tomb occupied by a dead cousin and a living nightmare, she is forced to confront the truth about Dustin's death and the guilt she has carried ever since. If she hopes to survive the mountain, she must first face the past she has spent years trying to bury.
NIGHT TERRORS
As a child, Landon Harris suffered from sleep paralysis and was haunted by a monster only his twin sister could keep at bay. Then the monster vanished—and so did the paralysis.

When he awakens unable to move, he spends four days trapped within his own body while a demon torments him from the corner of his bedroom. Desperate for help, he reaches out to Libby through the telepathic connection they shared as children.
As Libby rushes home, a serial killer abducting victims continues his rampage through Prichard. Together, the twins uncover a disturbing connection between the murders, the nightmares that haunted their childhood, and a darkness neither of them truly escaped.
To stop the killer and save his latest victim, Landon and Libby must confront the secrets that drove them apart—and the nightmare waiting at the end of the trail.
