Sean Costello

A NOVEL OF TERROR AND MEDICAL SUSPENSE People put their lives in doctors' hands every day--but in no other situation is this so precisely true as at the moment the anesthesiologist looks down at you and says, "You'll be going off to sleep now . . ." But what if the eyes that gaze at you in that moment of trust and surrender belong to a madman? What if, as you feel yourself slipping away, you see something so rank and terrifying in those eyes you want to leap off the table and scream? But by then, of course, it's too late. A novel of terror and medical suspense from the author of Squall and Here After. Pray you never meet the Sandman "A real page-turner. I think you can read any of Sean Costello's books and not be disappointed. It has the twists of Jeffrey Deaver, the suspense of James Patterson, and the depth of characters of Dean Koonz." --Amazon Reviewer

The original screenplay written by Sean Costello that the novel SQUALL was based upon. Bush pilot and family man Tom Stokes is about to face the worst day of his life. On a clear winter morning he sets out in his Cessna 180 to do some repairs on a remote hunt camp, leaving his five year old son and very pregnant wife snug in their beds. On the return trip, a squall forces him into an emergency landing and he winds up--quite literally--in the lap of petty criminal Dale Knight. Dale, now a fugitive from the law--and worse, from a merciless drug lord who just happens to be his brother--draws Tom into a web of mayhem and treachery that puts not only his life at risk, but the lives of his wife, son...and unborn child. SQUALL is a fast-paced, darkly-comic tale of murder and gang-style retribution that grabs the reader on page one and simply does not let go. WARNING: This book contains adult language and violence.

6 Speculative Tales by 3 Sudbury Authors Sudbury is not only in our blood, but it also courses through our veins, is a part of the very breaths we inhale and exhale, the way that those deposits of nickel, gold, copper, and platinum, which slammed into the earth via a crashing meteorite some 1.8 million years ago enrich the very bedrock of the grounds that formed the Sudbury basin. Something else courses through the veins of authors Sean Costello, Mark Leslie, and Scott Overton. A seemingly supernatural connection to the strange; a penchant for exploring speculative tales: Stories that do not turn away from the shadows, but, instead, explore them, embrace them. Stories that consider science or the paranormal, and wonder "what if?" Stories that dig deep into the darkness. If you dare, come with all three authors as they dig below the surface, a veritable mining operation of fear, speculation, and strange wonder.

Imagine a malign force dismantling your mind by insidious degrees, stripping away a lifetime of knowledge, cherished memories, and human connections. Now imagine being intimately aware of the process, but helpless to arrest it. Would you be afraid? For retired physician Ben Hunter, that malign force is Alzheimer's disease--and he is terrified. Now a resident in a major geriatric center, Ben straddles an ever-widening gulf between a muddled present and an idealized past, never quite certain which will support his weight. Against this backdrop, he meets Roxanne Austen, an 18-year-old student who both enriches his life and accelerates his descent into bewilderment. With equal measures of frankness and humor, Terminal House illuminates the many challenges of aging, including dementia, death and dying, voluntary euthanasia, and romantic love. Here's a sample of what advance readers are saying about Terminal House "As a retired editor who doesn't watch television I probably read 300 novels a year (about one a day). Unequivocally, Terminal House is the best of 2016, actually the best for a long while. How someone who is not that old could capture the feelings, desires, memories and fears of an older person is astounding. He emotionally touched the true feelings of both elderly people and the younger persons around them. No one will be able to put this book down once they start reading. Thank you for a beautiful experience and I look forward to more." --Bill Alexander
