STRANGE DAYS

About the Book

When eleven-year-old Georgia Bell encountered Madame Endora's fortune-telling machine at a traveling carnival in Salem, the mechanical oracle warned: "Your horizons are bleak, and darkness fills the path before you. A storm is coming. Beware!"

Nearly two decades later, Georgia hosts After Dark, America's most listened-to late-night talk show—a program dedicated to exploring the paranormal, the unexplained, and the mysteries that haunt the shadows. Broadcasting from her ivory tower studio in 2005, she guides half a million listeners through tales of the strange and supernatural. But talking about the impossible is one thing. Living it is another.

When Georgia's roommate Norma goes missing after a date with a charming stranger named Rick, Georgia's world shifts from theory to terrifying reality. Rick isn't just dangerous—he's something that shouldn't exist. A 1950s greaser who hasn't aged in decades. A predator who calls his victims "Dolly" and leaves a trail of bodies in his wake. A vampire.

Thrust into an investigation that bridges her traumatic past and her uncertain present, Georgia must navigate between skeptical homicide detectives and an underworld of vampires who operate by ancient rules. And Detective Daniel Sullivan—the man investigating Norma's death—is someone from Georgia's past she never expected to see again.

Inspired by Coast-to-Coast AM, The X-Files, and The Night Stalker, Strange Days launches the After Dark Chronicles—a series following Georgia Bell's investigations into the darkness that exists just beyond the spotlight. For readers who love their urban fantasy grounded in reality, their horror steeped in humanity, and their heroines armed with nothing but courage, curiosity, and a microphone.
