TIME IS NOT ON HIS SIDE
Tim McAvoy thought his divorce was the worst thing that could ever happen to him. Then he met his end staring down the grill of a speeding bus, only to realize he’d had it easy.
Whisked away in the moment of his death to a dimension beyond time and space, he now finds himself an unwilling contestant in a multiversal game where brutal bloodshed equates to entertainment. If he wins, he stands to earn back his life and possibly much more. But if he loses, his entire world could be erased from existence.
With a jaded AI as his only guide through this maze of madness, Tim will have to face off against enemies from both different time periods as well as whole other realities as he races to complete the first of twelve increasingly deadly levels.
The rules of the game are simple: survive and grow stronger while always keeping one eye on the clock – because once time runs out, there won’t be any more second chances.

BOAR WAR – From the files of the Crypto-Hunter!
MANKIND. THE OTHER WHITE MEAT.
In 1957, the US government abruptly ended a project designed to supplement the nation’s food supply. They closed their research facility, reassigned the personnel, and ordered the test subjects euthanized. Sadly, not all their secrets died that day.
Twenty years later, a severe drought has devastated nearby Cooper’s Bluff, leaving the surrounding marshlands barren and their monstrous inhabitants ravenously hungry. Now the residents of this sleepy, rural town are about to discover the offspring of these failed experiments have not only survived, but they’re larger and more horrifying than anyone could’ve ever guessed possible.
As an army of killer hogs descends upon the unsuspecting townsfolk, a local farmer, his wife, and a failed pimp will find themselves the only ones standing in their way. If they can’t stop the bloodthirsty beasts, they’ll soon learn that not only does this bacon bite back but all of humanity is now on the menu.
DEVIANT DARK DRYADS (False Icons – 4)
A MOTHER’S WRATH KNOWS NO BOUNDS
Watching my friends die was hard. Getting blown up right after was even worse. But that’s nothing compared to waking up to the mother I never knew and finding out she’s a monster far worse than anything I’ve faced so far.
Now, not only is she trying to set me up with every eligible demon between here and Hades, but she’s busy plotting the demise of my best friend Gary – setting us up on a collision course for a battle to the death.
All I want is to escape her clutches and get back to my life, but with a supernatural war brewing that might not be possible. To make matters worse, it looks like my dad has turned into a bomb-wielding madman. With everything going to hell, all I can do is keep fighting the good fight … and hope this is one case where the apple falls far from the tree.
