When Paul Ferguson's mother falls mysteriously ill, he calls in a renowned nerve specialist—only to discover that the Ferguson household harbors something far darker than any medical condition. As strange creatures emerge from the marshes surrounding their ancestral home and a trusted doctor's true allegiances come into question, a young man must uncover the horrifying truth about the vampire curse that has haunted his family for generations.

When psychiatrist "Doc" Macauley and his niece and nephew Paula and Jack McDonald ignore warnings to stay away from fog-shrouded Owl's Head Harbor, they stumble onto a sinister scheme at Murdock's Wharf—one involving the mysterious disappearance of a debutante and a carefully hidden operation beneath an old fish shed. Racing to uncover the truth, the trio finds themselves caught between ruthless criminals and a plot centered around Randall's Rock lighthouse that threatens to silence them permanently.

Zombies March by Moonlight

When Roger D'Orsay returns to his native Haiti after fourteen years away, he finds himself swept into a nightmare of voodoo and the undead—his wife Sheila vanishes into the jungle, seized by shambling zombies, and a mysterious figure seems determined to seize control of his family's inheritance through dark magic. Racing against moonlit shadows and the supernatural forces that killed his brother, Roger must uncover the identity of the zombie master before it's too late. With only a dying voodoo doctor's cryptic warnings and his own wits to guide him, he descends into the island's most forbidden secrets.
