Dead Boys

A TOWN ON THE EDGE OF THE UNKNOWN. A WOMAN ON THE BRINK OF SANITY. A DARKNESS THAT WILL NOT BE CONTAINED. On a quiet summer night in 1957, Jimmy Ray Barton and his pregnant wife, Sharon Rose, encounter something beyond their comprehension-a glowing green cloud that drags their truck off the road and sets off a horrifying chain of events. By morning, Jimmy Ray is dead, Sharon's memories are shattered, and her sanity hangs by a thread. Was it an accident, a crime of passion, or the work of something otherworldly?

But Sharon isn't the only one in Clairton, Pennsylvania, struggling against the darkness. Jack Russell, a young runaway fleeing his abusive father, stumbles upon a gruesome discovery deep in the woods: the bodies of his friends, their corpses grotesquely preserved under glass. Stranded and feverish, Jack falls into the care of Mason Gingrich, a mysterious recluse with ties to the unexplainable and a sinister connection to the green cloud.

Detectives Jerry Campion and Chela Stack face a baffling investigation where every lead pushes the limits of belief. Is Sharon a grieving widow or a cold-blooded killer? Is Jack's terrifying discovery the result of local horrors or something far more chilling? As the pieces come together, an unspeakable truth begins to surface-a truth that threatens not only the lives of those involved but the very fabric of human understanding.

From John A. Russo, the co-creator of Night of the Living Dead, comes a pulse-pounding tale of alien menace, psychological terror, and the fragility of reality. Dead Boys is a masterful blend of horror and suspense that will leave you questioning everything you think you know about fear, family, and the unknown.

The truth is out there. But it's not what you think.
