    “Have you seen the Yellow Sign?”, mumbles a cadaverous hearse driver with a soft, squishy head. He’s been skulking about Scott’s painting studio, where he and Tessie have been developing a tangled relationship between artist and model. But as this ever-present watchman resembling a coffin worm begins to distract Scott, his portrait of Tessie takes on a death-like pallor. How can they forever rid themselves of this hearse stalker? And what precisely does he mean by a “Yellow Sign”?  
     
    Developing themes as old as time, Chambers takes his lovers and twists their story into a chilling danse macabre.

    Bob Sherman signs on the crew of the yacht Bonito with hopes of revenge. And he'll need every ounce of his strength to overcome the forces arrayed against him now — hurricanes, corruption, pirates... and the man who stole everything he valued in life. But as he's about to discover, there's one force more powerful and dangerous than the sea itself... the force of a beautiful woman's love. The winds howl, the gunfire cracks, and the intrigue stirs as the audio version of Sea Fangs puts you in the eye of the storm.
