About this ebook

Once employed by a shadowy government agency to battle paranormal threats, Craig Lockman has spent the last fifteen years in forced retirement. But when a teen girl shows up at his door claiming she's his daughter, he quickly ends up back in the fight…because she has unwittingly led Lockman's most hated enemy straight to him.

 

Forced on the run, he struggles to protect the girl from an onslaught of nightmarish creatures, all working for his vicious rival. It soon becomes clear if he wants to put an end to the carnage, Lockman must strike back and finally defeat a man more evil than any of the horrors he commands.

 

Fans of Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim will love Darker Things, the first book in a high-octane supernatural suspense series guaranteed to keep readers on the edge of their seat through every terrifying twist.

 

 

Praise for Darker Things:
 

"…fast-moving, violent, dark, and engrossing. Highly recommended." – J.D. Rhoades, author of The Devil's Right Hand

 

"Reminiscent of Dean Koontz, Clive Barker, and all my old-school horror favorites, Darker Things is a phenomenal start to a dark fiction series." – Travis Luedke

 

"OMG what a ride this book was!! I was hooked from the first page and couldn't put it down. I read it in two days. Non-stop action, twists and surprises. Great character development and story line." – P. Hanson

 

"Imagine if James Patterson wrote about vampires… Dark and thrilling, brisk and brutal." -- Will Entrekin

Author

Rob Cornell

Whether it’s a hard-boiled detective facing the sins of his past, a covert-ops team of vampire assassins, or a greedy dragon who lives under Detroit’s MGM Grand Casino, most of Rob Cornell’s stories feature some element of the dark or fantastic. He has written over a dozen published novels, including two dark fantasy sagas—The Lockman Chronicles and the Unturned series—and three novels about bar owner and private eye, Ridley Brone. A native of the Detroit area, he spent a handful of years living in both Los Angeles and Chicago before returning to the Midwest, and currently lives with his family in Southeast Michigan.
