Guy N. Smith is a bestselling horror writer with 110 novels to his name, including Werewolf by Midnight, Night of the Crabs, The Slime Beast, The Sucking Pit and Snakes. Many of these have been published in the USA and translated into many languages. Though his heyday was in the 1980s, he still has an active fan club which holds yearly conventions. His website (www.guynsmith.com) averages 35,000 hits per month. Blackout is his first novel for Severn House.
Dr. Blair Lund and family have embarked on a rustic holiday near Yellowstone National Park. On arrival, the Lunds find a dilapidated cabin miles from civilization. Mother and daughter, shopping and beach types, are disgusted, but father and son are thrilled. Unfortunately, their plans for a real he-man vacation are cut short when a violent storm hits. After a night huddled in terror, the family decides to leave. And that's where the trouble starts. Outside, everything has changed. The forest and valley look totally different, their car is completely rusted, and the gravel road they drove in on has disappeared. But their terror has only begun. Before their vacation is over, they will have been pursued by savages, faced down wolves, and confronted torture and death. Like Stephen King and Dean Koontz, the prolific Smith is a master at building suspense, keeping not only his characters but also his readers confused, suspicious, terrified, and possibly doubting their own sanity. A knuckle-biting blending of thriller and horror genres. Emily Melton

SYNOPSIS: "In a hunting lodge in the remote American Midwest, a family prepares to sit out a devastating storm. In the morning the hut is still standing, but has deteriorated, and is filled with a dreadful, pervasive stench. Outside, their station wagon has corroded and the tyres have rotted. And the trees in the forest have withered with age. The family is trapped, surrounded by baying wolves. Then a stranger appears, a trapper from the past, with talk of Injuns and wild animals. Suddenly it is all too real: the storm has created a time warp in this remote valley, and the family is fighting for survival in an ancient, hostile land. Packed weight 540gms.
