Horror Unleashed - Book Two in Micky Neilson's top-rated horror series -Intended for mature audiences- Note: Whisper Lake is a prequel to The Turning. Despite this, it is the author's intention that The Turning be read before Whisper Lake. The year is 1991. Jason Emblock, a U.S. soldier in Iraq, is sent back home to the small town of Whisper Lake after a vicious animal attack. But the beast that bit him was no ordinary animal. Now Jason is becoming aware of the changes—enhanced hearing and sense of smell—even as he reconnects with his lover, Celine Armistead, and seeks to confront his childhood friend, CJ, who tried to force himself on Celine while Jason was away. CJ's life has its own complications: drug addiction and a strained affiliation with the violent drug trafficker Boil, whose schemes threaten to destroy Whisper Lake. But the deadliest threat may not come from Boil; because the beast within Jason... is about to slip its leash.
