Sleeper Species: A Cryptid Thriller

By Edward J. McFadden III

Before the first kingdom rose, they ruled...

Now the Salamantis stirs, hungry and forgotten.

Knight thought it was just another high-paying side gig, an off-the-books expedition through jungle and ruins, chasing whispers of a lost civilization. But what begins as a descent into legend quickly turns into a fight for survival. Beneath Madagascar's monsoon-drenched soil lies a buried city, crumbling, forgotten, and sealed for a reason. What once stood as a monument to an ancient world has become a prison for something that should never have been disturbed.

Fleeing the infestation, Knight and his fellow adventurers find themselves trapped. Every step draws the predators: cold-blooded relics of a bygone era who hunt in silence, see in the dark, and remember the taste of blood.

In the pitch-black, surrounded by stalking horrors, the rules of survival change: make no noise, trust no path, and above all... never be last.

From the author of HOWLER, TRAGIC, Terror Lake, and Crimson Falls comes Sleeper Species, a harrowing adventure that melds pulse-pounding action with the dread of awakening an apex killer our world left behind.
