The story of monster hunter Jack and his partner Beth continues in Nightlife: As the Worm TurnsâŚbut first, take a short stroll down one of Nightlife's darkest streets in this horror e-novella praised as âthrilling, edgy, and scary as hellâ (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 gamesâŚwhich, three decades ago, was the site of the largest mass shooting in New York history.
Jarrodâs boss lets him keep one of the arcade gamesâan 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 gameâŚand 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 remainsâŚis Jarrod playing a game, or is the game playing him?
