The January Hours

"Reading [Dead Mall] is like watching an episode of Supernatural, with all its trepidation and breathless anticipation.". In a frozen desert north of nowhere, evil is open for business.. Growing up in the dead-end town of Halcyon, Nevada, Cari Hembert’s young life is practically over before it began. Then she gets fired from her cashier job, locked in the local mall overnight, and discovers what really goes on in the semi-abandoned shopping center after dark. Now, alongside the disgraced former mayor, a retired army lieutenant, a snarky hammer-wielding custodian, and her anarchic best friend, the misfit teen finds her place doing nightly battle against the sinister inmates of Edensgate Shopping Center as they try to claw their way out. Gigantic sludge monsters. Grinning demons. Squirming vermins. And that’s just the first week of the year.. The January Hours five-book compendium contains the novellas Welcome to Halcyon, Veiled Threats, The Long Moon, The Mourning Sun, and the prequel story, An Original Sin.
