Bane County is an Ongoing Saga . . .
Mystery, Suspense, an edge-of-your-seat Thriller with characters you’ll fall in love with. An old-school, heart-pounding, coming-of-age Horror series with 1,000s of 5-Star Reviews.
The large river-island of Bane County has a troubled past; but some histories are eagerly forgotten, especially those written in blood.
Nestled into the foothills of the National Wildlife Refuge, the small rural town of Silver Canyon seems idyllic to most; but a long-slumbering evil is about to reawaken.
Seventeen-year-old Bryce McNeel is your average teenage boy, living on a cattle ranch with his grandparents. Well, average genius, but he prefers to keep that fact to himself, no one likes a know-it-all.
When Bryce learns of a series of grisly deaths and mutilations that occurred decades earlier, his curiosity gets the better of him. Together with his cousin, Jackson, Bryce sets out to learn more about the macabre event; but as they delve deeper into the history and legends of Bane County, the two boys are horrified by what they find.
Unfortunately, history has a way of repeating itself.
As friends and neighbors begin to go missing, or worse, they find themselves embroiled in a battle for their young lives.

In this fourth installment of the Bane County Series, we pick up where Book Three left off:
The people of Silver Canyon were still reeling in the wake of a massive winter storm that descended on their small town… and the endless night of unbridled terror that accompanied it.
Bryce and Jackson, along with Sheriff Culley, were still picking up the pieces after the tragic event, and preparing themselves for new horrors that were sure to come.
Farther west, along the coast of northern California, a different threat continued to grow, becoming more deadly by the day. Only Travis and Luther knew the true nature of this unspeakable menace, and they struggled tirelessly to find a way to stop it.
To the east, in Atlanta, Dr. Shearon Santiago with the CDC was preparing her team to depart for Bane County in search of the origins of an emerging retrovirus. They'd soon learn that this new assignment would be the toughest of their careers.
Other people were traveling to Bane County as well. The YouTube video of a shadowy beast had gone viral. Thrill seekers from all across the country were heading to Silver Canyon in hopes of getting a glimpse of the strange creature.
With the winter blizzard finally receding, the stage was now set for a new kind of storm… a storm that would change the face of Bane County forever.

Mystery, Suspense, an edge-of-your-seat Thriller with characters you’ll fall in love with. An old-school, heart-pounding, coming-of-age Horror Series with 1,000s of 5-Star Reviews.

In this fifth installment of the Bane County Series, we pick up where Book Four left off:

The citizens of Silver Canyon awake to find Bane County under CDC quarantine for fear of a viral outbreak. The National Guard has placed roadblocks at the Carantina River bridge, effectively sealing off the large river-island.

The beasts are growing more intelligent, threatening the small town in ways never seen before. Bryce and Jackson, along with Sheriff Culley, are struggling desperately to find new tools to combat the hideous creatures.

Farther west, along the coast of northern California, Travis and Luther have been relieved of duty after setting fire to the old Noone House. The beast that was Richard Cain escaped, and is still on the loose, as the two men use unconventional methods to continue the chase.

The eyes of the covert organization known as Failsafe remain on the people of Bane County. Fearing a viral threat to the nation, they weigh their options heavily.

With Bane County now effectively isolated from the rest of the world, and the CDC at a standstill, unable to make progress with the dangerous virus, a fuse has been lit to a powder keg… with nowhere left to run.

Autumn had been a very troubling time for the residents of Bane County, and the arrival of winter and the holiday season was a welcome diversion. Over the past three months, twenty-six people had gone missing in the neighboring wildlife refuge, believed to have fallen victim to a vicious rogue bear.
Bryce McNeel and Jackson Campbell knew the truth about the missing people and worried that the horrors of autumn wouldn’t end with the coming of winter. In truth, they both sensed that something far worse was on the way.
With a massive winter storm bearing down on Bane County, Bryce and Jackson feared they’d be fighting more than just the wintry cold. There could be things more chilling than ice and snow in the approaching storm.
Far to the west, another kind of storm was brewing. A storm of unspeakable horror the likes of which had never been seen. The evil that had been living in the dark forests of Bane County for centuries was now free, and the world would never be the same again.

Mystery, Suspense, an edge-of-your-seat Thriller with characters you’ll fall in love with. An old-school, heart-pounding, coming-of-age Horror series with 1,000s of 5-Star Reviews.
For nearly two decades, life in the small rural town of Silver Canyon had been peaceful and serene. People went about their daily lives as usual, completely oblivious to the inescapable horror that loomed on the horizon.
All but a select few of Bane County’s residents had forgotten the macabre occurrences of the past. It was hard to believe that twenty-one people, missing or dead, in only three months’ time had been so easily dismissed.
Bryce McNeel and Jackson Campbell had been at the heart of those horrific events, and the tragic memories of that long, bloody season still weighed heavily on them, especially since they knew it wasn’t over.
The time was quickly approaching when a long-slumbering evil would reawaken, and the horrors of the past would revisit the people of Bane County. Somewhere within the dark cavernous depths of the wildlife refuge, something ravenous awaited, longing for its time to rise.
As Bryce and Jackson prepared themselves, they were unaware that an even deadlier adversary would come for them, and once again, they would find themselves in a battle for their lives.
