To celebrate Bradley’s high school graduation, O’Connor takes the Detest-A-Pest crew to Club Niho‘gula on the remote and beautiful Hawaiian island of Lanai. But trouble tends to follow O’Connor everywhere she goes... Strange creatures attack guests in broad daylight. The locals blame the attacks on the Legend of Pepehi Waapa – the boat killer. Someone or some thing has unleashed the curse behind it. Ignoring all warnings, O’Connor vows to find the culprit at any cost. But unseen by most, a clue lies just below the surface. When Sam disappears without a trace, it becomes clear that something larger – more nefarious – is at work. The Detest-A-Pest crew and their new Hawaiian friends realize that they must work together – and fast – if they want any chance of finding Sam alive. Because the evil forces at work could easily send them all to watery graves... Tentacle 2.0 is a fast-paced creature feature horror novel, book four of the popular Detest-A-Pest series. It can be read as a standalone novel.

Kevin lives in a small apartment above a porn shop with his tarot-reading cat, Mithra. He has gotten used to Mithra bringing him things from outside: dead mice, Twinkie wrappers, donut scraps, houseplants, and the occasional rabbit head. But one day, Mithra brings him an ankle... a sweaty piece of rubber-latex shaped like a human ankle. Later, he is brought an eyeball, then a foot. After more latex body parts are brought upstairs, Kevin decides to glue them together to form a piecemeal sex doll. But once the last piece is glued into place, the sex doll comes to life. She says her name is June. She comes from another world and is on the run from an evil pornographer and three crab-human hybrid assassins. Piecemeal June is a reality-bending journey into love, sex, death, and a bizarre parallel world of butchered flesh.

And that’s just the first phase of a fiendish “death machine” the relentless killer plans to unleash on Los Angeles. Every move Morris makes triggers another step in the psychopath’s doomsday scenario. Morris has only one choice to stop the killings: the one the killer never expected . . . Praise for DERANGED “One of the most compelling, thrilling, and truth be told, at times look-away-from-page-frightening serial killer novels I've read in a long, long time.” —Vincent Zandri “A fascinating and exciting blend of misdirection, topsy-turvy, and violence.” —Reed Farrel Coleman “A dark and different serial killer novel that will haunt the reader long after the book is closed.” —John Lutz “Los Angeles has seldom seen such grisly fun. It’s James Ellroy meets Alfred Hitchcock on the psychotic side of the street.” —Paul Levine
