The Loon: A Novel of Darkest Terror

A #1 Kindle Horror Bestseller by one of the top 100 "Greatest All-Time Horror Writers" (Ranker.com) multiple Bram Stoker Award finalist Michaelbrent Collings!Ever since losing his son in a tragic accident, Dr. Paul Wiseman has tried to lose himself in his work. And "The Loon" is the perfect place to do it: totally isolated, hundreds of miles from the nearest town. And that's by design, because The Loon is a super-max prison designed for one thing only: to keep the world's most dangerous madmen, murderers, and psychopaths from escaping."Hands down, an excellent book!" The Horror Fiction ReviewBut when a freak winter storm knocks out all power and security measures, Wiseman knows that the inmates are going to try to escape their cells.And they're going to succeed.Not just that, but when the once-prisoners discover that the raging blizzard and subzero temperatures will kill anyone who leaves within minutes, their only hope will be to murder the staff of The Loon, as well as the young mother and little girl who took refuge from the storm."Highly recommended for horror and thriller lovers... Collings knows how to write!" - HellnotesKilling temperatures without.
