    The fifth book in The Jerry McNeal series has Jerry and his ghostly K-9 companion heading to Michigan to visit Max and discover what – if any – secrets are hiding in Lighthouse County Park. 
Port Hope, the sleepy town that rests along the coast of Lake Huron, is the last place one would expect to find a dead body – much less a body that so closely resembles the one Jerry and Gunter uncovered in Tennessee.

Originally excised from the manuscript of his immortal vampire masterpiece, Bram Stoker's title story plunges an unwitting English traveler into the freezing, snow-swept wilderness of Bavaria on Walpurgis Night. Ignoring the desperate warnings of his terrified coachman, the arrogant wanderer finds himself trapped inside an abandoned, desecrated graveyard.

Journey to the accursed, rat-infested isolation of The Judge's House, witness the excruciating horrors of a medieval torture chamber in The Squaw, and unravel the eerie vengeance woven into The Secret of the Growing Gold. Each story masterfully escalates the dread, proving Stoker's unparalleled command of the macabre.
