Dark County is no ordinary place. A little piece of rural West Virginia blown out of phase with reality during an ill-advised Lovecraftian experiment, it's now surrounded by a wall of darkness and prowled by monsters. Tainted by The Dark, the people themselves have begun to mutate, growing extra limbs and sometimes heads, and developing supernatural powers, when all they really want is just to make life as normal as possible, under the circumstances.Unfortunately, in addition to marauding skulkers and carnivorous tentacle outbreaks, normal also means the usual things, including adultery, domestic violence, and the occasional murder.When the most promiscuous woman in the county is found dead in a wrecked car along a deserted stretch of road, it looks to Sheriff William "Two Bills" Williams like just another DUI fatality, but nothing could be further from the truth. Someone loved her enough to kill her, and the suspect list includes every man who ever slept with her...meaning every man in Dark County.No, Dark County is not an ordinary place, but then Two Bills Williams is no ordinary sheriff."Tight plot, good storyline, utterly original situation, quirky characters, brutally realistic but with a mischievous undercurrent that will keep you smiling even while you shudder." ~ B. Tolliver, author of the CARNIFAX Series and THE SHAKTI"An entertaining and utterly bizarre murder mystery full of action and black humor that breathes new life into the old 'who done it' genre. I mean, hey; a department full of mutants that includes a third-eye psychic that's the spitting image of Barney Fife, a night-shift dispatcher who's a clinically depressed vampire with SADS, and a lycanthropic K9 officer who doubles as the dog - well, as the wolf - all led by a crusty, cantankerous sheriff...I mean seriously, what's not to like?" ~ Nathan T.
