It's all true. — It's not a nightmare. — It's all possible. An unspeakable evil stirs beneath the nation's capital, the gateway to a world of terror few have seen. The Hoffman Institute may be our only defense . . . but is it part of the solution or part of the problem? Reality and paranoia collide when dark forces converge on a world that seems normal. This is In Hollow Houses, the first novel in a new line of dark, contemporary fantasy fiction.

As a young woman lies in a deep and inexplicable coma in a Chicago hospital, investigators from the Hoffman Institute search for answers, finding a clue in a small cemetery, abandoned for nearly four decades, that holds the key to secrets from beyond the grave. Original.

Two agents from a covert organization specializing in the paranormal are looking for their partner, who has mysteriously disappeared. Along the way, they run into a charismatic neo-Nazi leader who is seeking to make the ultimate "super race". The two agents not only discover that their lost partner is already under-going The Process, but that the leader is himself an ubermensch—well over 100 years old and going strong

There's another side to the world, another side that no one sees. But in between there are doors... In ages past, in a time humanity remembers only as myth, beings of vast power walked among us. Now they're back, and they want what was taken from them. What begins as a routine mission for three agents of the Hoffmann Institute soon turns into a nightmarish adventure involving anarchist cults, magic-wielding computer hackers, psychic assassins, and a race to recover an artifact that may save the future of humanity.
