The Hockomock is a swamp located in what is known as the Bridgewater Triangle in southeastern Massachusetts, an area of known paranormal activity. In the language of the Wampanoag nation, Hockomock translates to "the place where spirits dwell." A paranormal team hires a local guide, Tom Bradford, to take them into the swamp where they will create a documentary proving that the tales are real; spectral voices and orbs, apparitions known as Tei Pai Wanka's, and lastly, the mythical Pukwudgies of Wampanoag lore, known to beguile and lure the unsuspecting to their deaths. The team, encouraged by the orbs and spectral voices that they have already experienced on their trek inward, attempt the resurrection of the fabled Wampanoag death spirit, Hobbomock. When Tom Bradford returns after medically evacuating a psychic medium, Judy Brown, he finds all but one of the remaining team dead by decapitation. Randy Young, a videographer, is missing along with the heads of the three victims. With the resurgence of Hobbomock, violent crime and paranormal activity surges all over southeastern Massachusetts, and a serial axe murderer emerges in the nearby towns whose modus operandi matches the murders within the swamp. A task force is formed to solve the murders, which includes Tom Bradford and Judy Brown as consultants. Judy Brown, angry at the stubbornness of the police, resorts to channeling the dead wife of Detective Sergeant John Stroud to convince him of the necessity to believe in the paranormal and remove the evil of Hobbomock. And now Johnny Stroud, with Judy Brown, Tom Bradford, and an old Wampanoag shaman on one side, and the no-nonsense, logical minds of the task force team on the other, must find the balance between reality and the unexplained to stop the axe murders and halt the spread of Hobbomock's evil.

Navy Senior Chief Jack Sager has a problem. It isn't that a nuclear war appears imminent; he figured that one out. It wasn't his doomsday plan to evacuate his and brother David's family from the navy base at Kings Bay, Georgia to their home state of Vermont before the bombs could fall, either. He managed it. Well, part way, anyway. Stranded in South Carolina, he must lead a grieving wife, a headstrong, pregnant sister-in-law, his surviving child, and a frightened, ineffectual family friend through the perils of nuclear war's aftermath. Petty Officer David Sager is at sea on the ballistic missile submarine USS Anchorage when his brother's prediction comes to pass. As the missiles launch and the horror of nuclear war begins, David can only hope to survive, keep to his brother's plan, and with shipmate Danny Shuford, find his own way to Vermont though he has no way of knowing to whom or what he will be coming home to.
In Crying for a Vision, British-born poet, musician and performance artist Steve Scott offers a challenge to artists and a manifesto for the arts. This new edition includes an introduction and study guide, four newly-collected essays and an interview with the author. Steve Scott is the author of Like a House on Fire: Renewal of the Arts in a Post-modern Culture and The Boundaries. "Steve Scott is a rare individual who combines a deep love and understanding of Scripture with a passion for the arts." -Steve Turner, author of Jack Kerouac: Angelheaded Hipster. "Steve Scott links a number of fields of inquiry that are usually perceived as unrelated. In doing so he hopes to open wider possibilities for Christians in the arts, who may perhaps be relieved to find that, in many ways, they were right all along." -Rupert Loydell, author of The Museum of Light.
