"Keep going where?"

  "Stop it!" Seth shouted.

  "He deserves to know, Seth!"

  "Know what?" Finn asked.

  "That man you call the reverend," Missus Abramson said. "He didn't care if you got Bren back. He knew you'd have to go after him anyway."

  "Why?"

  "You bitch! You'll get us all killed!" Seth roared. "Is it worth it?"

  Finn stepped closer to Missis Abramson. "Why do I have to keep going after him?"

  "Because he has your brother."

  THE FLENSE

  (companion series to BUNKER 12)

  SERIES DESCRIPTION

  Hundreds die in a fiery train crash in northern China. A cargo ship smuggling refugees is lost to calm seas off Libya. Entire villages in Ghana are abandoned overnight.

  Contracted by a prepper group to investigate a series of seemingly disconnected global tragedies, a young freelance reporter, Angelique d'Enfantine, uncovers a disturbing pattern: each event is preceded by the sudden spread of a mysterious ailment and is followed by the appearance of a man dressed in silver and black who witnesses claim is the devil himself.

  Each event is more grisly than the last. As the risk to her life grows, Angel begins to doubt that the tragedies are harbingers of an impending biblical catastrophe, but are rather practice runs conducted by a fanatical organization bent on global annihilation. Could her sponsors be using her to advance their own paranoid agenda?

  THE FLENSE consists of 12 installments scheduled for limited release beginning July 2015.

  EXCERPT

  A gasp behind her made her duck instinctively, pressing her face against the lifeless chest, forcing the stale air from his collapsed lungs. A moan burped through the dead man's lips. Blood gurgled from the wound in his neck and dripped thickly onto the floor.

  Something was there in the hallway with her.

  The dark man it's the dark man it's—

  "Where is it?" she whimpered.

  Hands sunk into the mounds of cooling flesh, swept across, down his legs, checking pockets. Frisking. She could feel the presence in the hallway getting closer, could hear its strangled breath. It was—

  Jamie!

  —the dark man. It was the dark man!

  She slid her hand beneath Aston's lower back until her fingers hit the metal of the pistol. She tried to pull it out, but it wouldn't come.

  The thing behind her lurched against the wall, startling a yelp from Angel's throat. She pushed against the corpse, trying to move it off the gun, but he was too large, too heavy, too dead. She could feel the thing getting closer, could feel its breath on her neck. Who are you? she wanted to yell. What do you want?

  She knew it wasn't the dark man. She knew it couldn't be. Not Norstrom, either. She knew what it was, who it was, and yet she refused to accept it. No. No no no!

  And then she felt it rest its dead hand on her shoulder and she nearly fainted. She cried out, pulling one last time, wrenching the pistol free from beneath the corpse. She turned and fired, and in the lightning flash of the gunshot she saw the sum of her fears, saw what she had done, saw the entrails of the walking corpse like bloody ropes.
