When a new and potentially planet-killing contagion is discovered, Moon Shadow, an isolated resort town located in Alaska's primitive and rugged interior, becomes the focus of a military-style incursion. Major Pepper, who is in charge of the operation, has the local residents rounded up into a razor-wire inclosed quarantine. Because of the danger of a potential pandemic, they are to be transferred to a more prison-like underground quarantine. Two of the residents, Trevor, a young physician, and Jodie, an Earth Project environmentalist, are not having any of this obvious violation of human rights. They escape and are hunted down like fugitives with the full arsenal of the US Army at the Major's disposal. The two have to use a zip line to escape a three-story-burning lodge. When they seek refuge in an abandoned gold mine, the entrance is caved in by a missile strike. The two fugitives do manage to find a way out of the mine and try to make their way back to civilization and safety by floating down river on a rubber raft. While fighting for their lives against nature and the deranged Major Pepper, the two begin to fall in love with each other. They discover they have more to live for than exposing the Major for his treachery and his murder of innocent civilians for the greater good. [more]

In the tranquil and enigmatic town of Saintpotden, a dark legacy insinuated itself amidst the shadows of everyday routine. It all began with what seemed like an innocent family heirloom: a porcelain doll, ancient and delicate, found its new home within Friedrich's family. But as weeks slipped by and clocks marked the passage of time, the dark secrets of this doll chillingly revealed themselves. Its inert face lay as a silent witness to a subtle malevolence slowly emerging. The first signs of its malevolent power manifested when the doll shifted its position in the dimness of the room, a subtle yet unsettling metamorphosis. The changes were barely perceptible at first, but with time, they became as noticeable as they were disturbing. A laughter emanating from its sealed lips, increasingly sinister with each repetition, echoed through the corners of the house, suffocating the peace that once reigned in that home. Unexplainable incidents plagued the tranquil family life, hinting at a terror that extended beyond the borders of human understanding. As the doll unleashed its malevolent influence, nights in Saintpotden were tainted by a series of murders, a dark omen that plunged the town into a cloak of fear and bewilderment. In this seemingly serene haven, hints of unsettling neighbors emerged. Kurt, Friedrich's enigmatic neighbor, displayed disturbing behaviors, casting suspicions on the connection between his strange conduct and the curse looming over the doll. The conclusion loomed amidst sacrifice, forging a path to peace at an unfathomable cost. The culmination of this battle against the bewitched doll would unfold, leaving the people of Saintpotden with heavy hearts and a peace obtained at an unimaginable price. [more]
