From Book 1: In the small town of Castor, it’s the last weekend of summer break. In just two days four teenage friends will begin their high school careers. Dating, who to sit with at the lunch table, and what to wear seem to be the most important decisions facing them. But as Connor, Seth, Amanita and Nicole venture to the most popular end-of-summer high school party in town, they soon discover there are even more important decisions to be made. Life and death decisions. Namely, how to outrun the massive wave of mutated undead that have suddenly crashed the party. It’s "The Breakfast Club" meets "Resident Evil" as the teens of Castor fight to stay alive. And for this group of friends, growing up never seemed so urgent. “Fresh, bold and frightening. There are scarier things than a fast moving, flesh eating corpse. Open this book and see for yourself.” —J.L. Bourne, author of DAY BY DAY ARMAGEDDON “One of the best stories I’ve read this year... equal parts touching, compelling and gruesome.” —Nate Kenyon, award-winning author of THE READ and SPARROW ROCK “Ryan C. Thomas is not just a writer to watch, but one that has hit a stride that most others at their own game should envy.” —HorrorDrive-in.com

(When the Beaudette mining company blows open a mountain d...)
When the Beaudette mining company blows open a mountain deep in the Congo, they release something that puts man on the bottom of the food chain. Salticids, more commonly known as jumping spiders, mutated and enlarged to staggering sizes through millennia of underground chemical anomalies. With eight massive legs, eyes that can see 360 degree, and the ability to leap thousands of feet at once, there is no escaping these dangerous hunters. Which is a very bad thing for Janet Beaudette and her mining crew, now forced to escape into the mountain itself, all the while chased by these nightmares. The only way to escape is to make it down to the river below where they can be reached by helicopter, but first they must traverse the dangerous tunnels and pits, which are crawling with more giant spiders. Meanwhile, travel journalists Jack and Derek are also deep in the jungle writing a story about the Congo. Accompanied by a native guide with a dark past, they soon stumble onto a mystery involving giant webs and missing wildlife, only to realize they are being hunted. But of course the Congo holds many terrors, and giant spiders, horrendous as they are, are merely instinctual creatures. Even more dangerous is the Snake Man, who controls the Lost Boys. When this murdering, kidnapping, raping, black magic-practicing leader of the local militia hears that the Beaudette Mining Company is excavating mountains without his permission, he decides it’s time to teach Janet and her people a lesson in local politics. He won’t stop until he drinks their blood and wears their bones. "Thomas builds and drives tension like a screaming nightmare in broad daylight!" - Cody Goodfellow, author of All-Monster Action!

When Roger Huntington comes home from college for the summer and is met by his best friend, Tooth, he knows they’re going to have a good time.

Forced to fight for their lives against a sadistic killer with an arsenal of razor sharp blades and a hungry dog by his side.

"A tense, bloody ride!" - Brian Keene, author of The Rising “If you want to freak yourself out on your next camping trip, you can’t really do any better than The Summer I Died.” - BloodyDisgusting.com

When a plane crashed in the quaint town of Castor, it unleashed a virus that turned everyone into hissing, blood-thirsty, undead monsters. Monsters that could transmit their plague in seconds, that could run as fast as dogs, and that could fuse themselves together to create massive mutated beasts. Four teens—Connor, Seth, Amanita, and Nicole—fought for their lives to secure vital data from the plane wreckage, some of them paying the ultimate sacrifice. Now they need to get to San Diego with their secret, but the plague is spreading too fast. They have no friends or family, nowhere to hide, and death lurks behind every corner. Worse, the hissers are evolving, and it may be impossible to stop them at all. "Fresh, bold, and frightening!" - J.L. Bourne, author of Day by Day Armageddon "Hissers is one of the best stories I’ve read this year... equal parts touching, compelling and gruesome.” —Nate Kenyon, award-winning author of THE REACH and SPARROW ROCK "A unique approach to the walking dead...I promise that you'll love it." - HorrorDrive-In.com

Roland Stone and Doug Hardwood are New York City's top news anchors. Trusted, respected, revered among the media's who's who. In their profession, it's all about getting the exclusive. Whoever breaks the big story first gets the viewers, and whoever gets the viewers gets the advertisers. It's all money in the end. With their stations neck to neck in the ratings, and the threat of hipper, younger anchors waiting to take their places, each knows they must come up with a juicy story to save their job. Suddenly, a horrific murder rocks the airwaves, and Roland Stone has the inside story. But great minds think alike, and it's just mere hours before Doug Hardwood is reporting on the work of a different serial killer. Over night, New York City becomes a haven for two of the most inventive serial killers ever to walk the streets, each bent on getting more press than the other. Two desperate news anchors. One city. A whole lot of bloodshed. Story at eleven. "A fiendishly entertaining dark comedy!" — Jeff Strand, author of Pressure ""Sharp and ingenious and a whole lot of fun. Ryan C. Thomas is not just a writer to watch, but one that has already hit a stride that most others at their own game should envy." — HorrorDrive-In.com "Ratings Game is a dark, humorous and ultimately original thriller, reminiscent of Ellis's American Psycho and Palahniuk's Lullaby. If you're a fan of either, I strongly suggest you pick up a copy of this book!" — OzHorrorScope.com "Ratings Game is a sociopath's wet dream. Half the fun is seeing what these maniacs are going to do next, and just how far they will go. Ryan C. Thomas does a great job of conveying the frantic pace of New York City, and the crazy people that dwell within it. Gory, depraved, and funny." — Creature-Corner.com
