Bloodlines
Cover & signature page artwork by Edward Miller.
Black Stone Bay has seen more than its fair share of violence and bloodshed, death and disease, and still it perseveres.
All that has happened to the town could be placed on the vampire known as Jason Soulis. He has made the 'Bay his petri dish upon which to create new, stronger versions of the undead. He has watched as first a plague of vampires attacked the town and then a plague created by vampires spread an unholy infection through the area, killing young and old, weak and strong, without bias. Soulis has spent over a hundred years attempting to make the perfect predator.
One of his nightmares left wandering Black Stone Bay has a new target and this time that victim takes matters into her own hands. She calls on a man who saved her once before, Jonathan Crowley, the man called the Hunter. That would hardly concern Soulis, safe and thousands of miles away, but something from his past has come to haunt him. One of his experiments he'd long forgotten has come back from the dead and intent on only one thing: destroying Soulis and all that he has ever cared for.
The bloodlines that Jason Soulis has created are gathering now for one final conflict, and Black Stone Bay is the battlefield where all will be decided. Blood will flow and the town will again be reminded that the night has very sharp teeth.

Earthling Halloween Series
From the website of Earthling Publications:
Boo.
This series of books celebrates Publisher Paul Miller's favorite holiday. Each October, as the air turns colder and leaves fall off the trees, Earthling will release one novel of flat-out horror, usually featuring classic terrors such as monsters and haunted houses rather than psychological suspense or real-life horrors. The dustjacket spine will feature a pumpkin with the series number of the book. MR. DARK'S CARNIVAL was an ultra-short run of only 15 handmade hardcovers, and therefore BLOOD RED was counted as Book #1 in the series.
Earthling Halloween Series consists of sixteen primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads — considered a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
