Summary

In the degenerate, unliked backwater of Dunwich, Wilbur Whately, a most unusual child, is born. Of unnatural parentage, he grows at an uncanny pace to an unsettling height, but the boy's arrival simply precedes that of a true horror: one of the Old Ones, that forces the people of the town to hole up by night, fearful for their lives, by day able only to trace the wreckage wrought by the gigantic, unseen monster.

    The only thing worse than an assassin is a zombie assassin. 
    That's what I find myself up against when a celebrity hypnotist turns up dead on Christmas. Except this killer is no ordinary zombie, and I should know. The name's Cisco Suarez, and besides being the Miami Police Department's resident supernatural consultant, I'm a practicing necromancer. 
    With a series of murders threatening to reveal the existence of magic, anti-animist militias capture the public heart. The streets are rife with unrest and vigilantes that aren't me. 
    To add to my growing list of distractions, a tenacious FBI agent swears I'm the infamous Shadow Man and uses increasingly hostile tactics to uncover the truth. Meanwhile, my girls Fran, Darcy, and Milena all find themselves in existential trouble. 
    Against all that, I still have a killer to find. So I enlist the help of a curious dog, dig up an old grave, and tie the zombie's origins to the Twelve Days of Christmas. Talk about holiday cheer. 
    Is it Christmas season or hunting season, and who's hunting who? 
    If you like Jim Butcher, Shayne Silvers, Steve McHugh, or John Conroe, then you are going to love Domino Finn's contribution to the smart-talking MC that's perpetually stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Abras, as they are known, can harness these illegal powers, but for Coleman—whose father was a powerful and abusive practitioner—magic is anathema.  When her criminal crew hire an Abra to help with their heists, they accidentally raise a dangerously violent demon. Now they must race across darkest Siberia to a remote stone circle to kill the creature, in this engrossingly tense and gripping adventure.  But as the demon’s power grows during their grisly chase, Coleman must fight to survive, facing demons both in chains and within herself. This unique high-octane horror thriller is perfect for fans of Lauren Beukes and James Oswald.Praise for The End of the Line “Williams creates an original world of wonder and menace that leaves the reader guessing.” —Linwood Barclay, TheSunday Times–bestselling author  “The End of the Line is driven by non-stop action, strange magic, and gritty noir banter—fun, in other words. Gray Williams has created a matinee double-feature of mixed genre mayhem that aims to please.” —Andrew Pyper, author of The Homecoming and The Demonologist“Absolutely brutal, doesn’t look away, and doesn’t pull a single punch . . . Reeves is an absolutely stand-out character.” —S. J. Morden,Philip K. Dick Award–winning author
