Book Description
It's summer of 1899 and the state of Wyoming has been unresponsive for an increasingly alarming amount of time. No mail nor telegram communication has ever been sent out or responsive, which has prompted the United States Postal Inspection Service to investigate. The inspector general has selected US Postal Inspector Jed Pluck from Boston, Massachusetts to team up with another postal inspector named Louie Secoli to investigate these towns along the railroad. The peculiarity of this case, in contrast to others they had investigated previously, is that the only evidence they have is a strange, large black-red feather, sharp enough to slice through skin. Leaving his family once again, Jed hitches the train with Louie, and they set off for Wyoming. Upon arriving in Cheyenne, they found Wyoming's capital deserted-and covered in the very same peculiar feathers. The next few towns along the railroad all share the same description: no bodies in sight and covered in the same feathers. Only one town along the railway has been spared from the disappearances. Lemonstown, a town near the Red Desert, remains active but unaware of the fate of the other towns. Fearing that Lemonstown would be the next town to be raided, the two postal inspectors must solve the mystery of the strange creature and help the townspeople before Lemonstown becomes the next ghost town covered in feathers.

Book Description
Among the ranks, the secrecy of the Dark Stalkers main communications hub, CONTROL, has had its trustworthiness brought into question as troops are sent to Max Jordans home in search of a witness who knows about the high corruption within the preternatural World Government. Meanwhile, the same World Government is being lulled into believing all things are falling into place regarding the policing of the preternatural society, allowing unsupervised power and authority to a rogue commander who has been enlisting individuals for a secret government project who then are never seen again. Commander Michael Trevor has his focus set on Max Jordan who wants no part of it, but due to unforeseen events, he is given the choice of either keeping the witness safe or submitting to the commanders authority. The additional stress becomes more than Max can handle, which gives his own inner darkness the opportunity to finally wrench control from him and seemingly slaughter indiscriminately when dealing with unnatural beings. While the darkness is in control, no one around Max is completely safe, friend or foe.

Book Description
How to train a Filipino dragon and other real-life adventures of three modern monster hunters! Since The Lost Journal of Alejandro Pardo was published, other creature hunters have come out of the woodwork to share their spine-tingling accounts of more discoveries. True? Exaggerated? Out-and-out lies? Read on and decide for yourself! The Black Bestiary adds to the list of powerful and fearsome supernatural creatures we met in The Lost Journal of Alejandro Pardo.

In this book, you'll come face-to-face with: The Bungisngis --You've heard of the Cyclops; this is a Cyclops on steroids! The Tahamaling --Never hunt in the forest without permission from these maidens! The Tiktik-- Part avian, part human, part something else. These terrifying creatures feed on the unborn. And many more creatures of horrifying aspect and predilection! You'll also discover excerpts from the journal of a certain Mr. Kolya, a contemporary of Pardo's, who always tells it like it was. Though these new sightings are all recent, the weapons used against them rely on tried-and-true magic--because forearmed, as well as forewarned, is always best! The Black Bestiary is a lively romp through the world of the imagination, as well as a great way to learn more about Asian folklore, magic and myth.
