“I DON’T THINK EITHER ONE OF US GOT THIS OUT OF OUR SYSTEM….” Jack Granger’s reference to a few stolen kisses haunted Abby Walsh. For being with him and his daughter made her feel like a penniless kid with her nose pressed against the toy-store window. Everything she’d ever wanted was right in front of her, but still completely out of reach. Well, Abby could hardly complain; the man was onlykeeping his promise—keeping their relationship casual. Still, Abby felt a sexual thrill she couldn’t ignore. And she’d caught enough heated glances and heard enough strangled sighs to suspect he was suffering as much frustration as she was. Phooey. She’d never been this attracted to anyone. Ever. But there was no future for them. End of story. Right? If only it were that simple….

Author: David Gerrold
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504086058
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Winner of the Lord Ruthven Award for Best Vampire Novel of the Year: The first horror novel from the author of Star Trek’s “The Trouble with Tribbles” script. Includes the bonus short story “Jacob in Manhattan.” With a writing legacy that includes Star Trek, Land of the Lost, and the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning novella The Martian Child, David Gerrold knows what it’s like to be an author. Writing about vampires should be easy for him, right? But real vampires are far more sinister in real life than they are in fiction. Jacob is the story of an author’s encounters with the undead creature who gives him success, forbidden knowledge, and ultimately, a choice. Jacob is a cunning survivor. Orphaned in Seattle in the mid-nineteenth century, he could have been someone’s convenient meal. Instead, he becomes the “daykeeper” for a man he knows only as Monsieur. Then he discovers the hidden community of nightsiders—men who live in secrecy and darkness—the true apex predators. To be a nightsider is to experience heightened senses, bursts of super-strength, and frequent hallucinogenic episodes. Nightsiders also need to lie dormant to recover from their excesses. The daykeeper must be a protector against the daylight. But Jacob wanted more than that; he craved the promise of immortality. And so a century later, Jacob tells his story, this time to an ambitious young writer. It’s a different kind of interview. Is it a seduction? Or is he just playing with his food? And who will write the final chapter? Praise for The Man Who Folded Himself “Most impressive.” —The Times Literary Supplement “Wildly imaginative and mindbending.” —Publishers Weekly

Book Description
Eighteen years have passed since Cephas Paulson survived his brutal ordeal inside the mountain. Faith has returned to the world, but the “Mark of the Beast” vaccine used by the Corps has inflicted unforeseen genetic damage to all who took it, dividing the world into “The Washed” and “The Marked.” With the Four network disbanded, Cephas and Martha stand as the only remaining hope for the Christian world - until they too disappear. Their children, Jocie and Austin, are left alone with nowhere to go and no one to trust. Born with her father’s talent for puzzles, Jocie realizes that Cephas has scattered the clues for finding her parents not only throughout her life but through time itself. As the pieces come together, it’s clear that the puzzle she’s solving is much larger than she’d imagined and that her past, present, and future all depend on her finding the solution.
