About this ebook
A terrifying new species of predator is loose in a New England resort town in this “wholly enthralling hulk of a summer beach read” (Publishers Weekly).
On a hot summer night in Montauk, the bodies of two local bar patrons are discovered in the dunes, torn to shreds, their identities unrecognizable. In another part of town, a woman's backyard is invaded by four creatures that defy description. What's clear is that they’re hostile—and they're ravenous.
With every sunset the terror rises again, infecting residents with a virus no one can cure. The CDC can't help them; FEMA can't save them. But each savage attack brings Suffolk County Police Officer Gray Dalton one step closer to the shocking source of these unholy creations. Hidden on nearby Plum Island, a U.S. research facility has been running top-secret experiments. What they created was never meant to see the light of day. Now, a vacation paradise is going straight to hell.
“Shea combines ancient evil, old school horror, and modern style.” —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times–bestselling author

Picked this one at random and am now a fan of Shea. He writes like he's telling you a B movie. It's quick to read, well described and fluid. The characters are real and interesting. The weakest spot here for me is the villain but hey that part matters the least.

I could not put this book down. It is a brilliant well written classic horror, and is not full of handsome vampires chasing idiotic doe eyed girls, thankfully.

One of the grimmest stories I've read in a while; though that ending left me wanting more.
