Coming Up Short 9

A young man wakes in his blood-stained basement, his scratched face and arms a testament to a night he cannot remember, though the blood trail leading to his large freezer fills him with dread; he knows something terrible waits inside, but his mother’s imminent return may be even more terrifying. Meanwhile, a psychiatrist becomes deeply unsettled by a coworker’s drastic behavioral changes after receiving a dark necklace—one eerily familiar yet tied to forgotten memories. When her colleague begins suffering memory loss tied to her mother, the doctor’s investigation into work files unearths secrets far more personal and horrifying than she’s ready to confront. Elsewhere, Kalen McDonald, the notorious Killer of Killers, receives a vision that compels him to kidnap an innocent family man, a decision that challenges his mission to eliminate predators as he navigates the murky truth of his visions, where clarity is often the most deceptive veil.

“Charles Welch is a captivating author. I literally read this book in one setting, it was exciting and I had to find out what happened next. Croatoan is a wicked character that is as old as time. I loved the split of two times in Croatoan’s life-as the raging dead. This book is a cliff hanger and I can not wait to find out what happens next to Tom and Sin and the tribal people. I’m hooked on this fantastic vampire continuation. Congrats Dr. Welch on another superb book!”

“This author is probably the most talented writer I’ve ever read.
His stories are so original and captivating it beggars belief.

I’ve been reading constantly at least 5 books a week from all different authors for over 50 years and I am in awe of his storytelling.

I feel blessed that I’ve actually stumbled upon his work.”
