The story of monster hunter Jack and his partner Beth continues in Nightlife: As the Worm Turnsā¦but first, take a short stroll down one of Nightlife's darkest streets in this horror e-novella praised as āthrilling, edgy, and scary as hellā (Jason Starr, internationally bestselling author of The Pack).
Twenty-seven-year-old Jarrod Foster has hit a dead end. He spends his days disposing of hazardous waste and his nights wondering where it all went wrong. While gutting an abandoned roller rink, Jarrod discovers a bricked up video arcade still stocked with vintage gamesā¦which, three decades ago, was the site of the largest mass shooting in New York history.
Jarrodās boss lets him keep one of the arcade gamesāan oddity called Polybius that no one seems to have ever heard of. Jarrod hopes to sell it and start a new life, but one grim night, he drops a quarter into the gameā¦and the game drops Jarrod right into a nightmare.
As his life spirals into darkness, and his actions begin to mirror those of the long-dead spree killer, only one question remainsā¦is Jarrod playing a game, or is the game playing him?
