STORY

Dark, terrifying imagery, and truly masterful storytelling are central to this week's Wicked Tale.

Stranded in the Georgia countryside after his car breaks down, Air Force mechanic Kent Philips gets caught up in a storm of epic proportions.

As he seeks and finds shelter from the storm, he meets a woman on the run from someone named Luke and what just might be the end of the world.

His novel CROTA won the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel, and was one of four finalists in the Best Novel category. His novel DARKER THAN NIGHT was also a Stoker Nominee for best novel of the year.
