Motherless Bastards (The Dead Man: Alternate Universe Book 2)

THE DEAD MAN: ALTERNATE UNIVERSE novellas are fan-written tales based on the world of THE DEAD MAN, the 24-book series created by Lee Goldberg & William Rabkin and are not part of the official canon. “Creepy and atmospheric, Yellow Moon is full of small-town authenticity. It’s like an alternate universe horror version of The Andy Griffith Show. So dare the light of Yellow Moon and read it!” —Joe R. Lansdale on Yellow Moon “Searls is a horror writer who goes for imagination and suspense rather than regurgitated splatter.” —Ramsey Campbell on Yellow Moon “Searls weaves an intricate web of dark intentions and even darker actions with this novel. Bloodthirst in Babylon is a well written and well thought out addition to the vampire genre. This book should be a nice hit with vampire and general horror lovers alike.” —Shattered Ravings on Bloodthirst in Babylon Matthew Cahill meets Cassie Funderburke in a bar in the seriously misnamed West Texas town of Abundance and wisely turns down her can’t-lose offer. She wants him to accompany her to a double-wide somewhere in the heart of Tornado Valley. That’s where her biological mother has got herself a load of unmarked cash that needs transporting in a hurry. A real hurry. What could possibly go wrong? While Matt sees ample reason to back off, ex-con Charles “Venom” Brigner isn’t so picky. So now Matt must rescue the loudmouthed blonde from the clutches of Venom and the Blood-Soaked Godless Nomads, his motorcycle crew of degenerate idiots. Throw in Mama Hardin and her itchy trigger finger, Taco Treadwell, another graduate of the U.S. penal system, Cassie’s even more overbearing sister Patti, and a sweltering hot trailer home under siege, and Cahill’s got himself a hell of a storm-ravished afternoon ahead of him. If that’s not enough, he sees that it’s his old nemesis and demon, Mr. Dark, orchestrating the chase and bloody standoff. Welcome to West Texas, motherless bastards!
