Her home in Phoenix, Arizona's bustling metropolitan area rapidly becomes unbearable. An investigative job offered by an old family friend sends her to a lonely corner of New Mexico, to try to free an innocent man wrongly convicted of a brutal double murder. As she pursues justice for the unfortunate prisoner, she finds herself caught up in the saga of New Dominion, a nearby town wiped out in a bloody massacre back in 1933...but is somehow rising from its own ashes. Annie's presence creates unexpected ripples, summoning ancient, demonic forces and causing tragedy to repeat itself—unless she can find some way to stop it. Cold Black Hearts is a riveting supernatural thriller, and Annie O'Brien is bound to be your new favorite character!

"Season of the Wolf is a violent thriller, but still has a realistic aspect to this supernatural tale. This tale is fast paced, frightening, but at the same time addictive in that you can't stop reading it." —Midwest Book Review When Alex Converse, heir to a coal company fortune, visits Silver Gap, Colorado to make an environmentally themed documentary film, he's hoping to change some minds and to soothe his own troubled conscience. But there's more going on—in his mind, and in Silver Gap—than Alex knows. People are dying and women are disappearing. Some of the killers have fur, fangs, and claws—but some don’t. What is Alex’s connection to the missing women? Will anyone live long enough to find out? And what’s up with those wolves? Season of the Wolf is a heart-stopping supernatural thriller about climate change, the human capacity for evil, and the epic struggle between a small town’s citizens and impossible creatures from the dawn of history. "Season Of The Wolf will go a long way to further Jeff Mariotte’s reputation as one of today’s best writers of horror and dark fiction." —TT Zuma, Horror World **From the Author Season of the Wolf is a novel that's been in the works for more than a decade, in one form or another. The overall concept came to me when I was editor-in-chief at a publishing company called IDW Publishing (famous for, among other things, publishing the original 30 Days of Night comic books, which became a very successful comic book line, two movies, and six novels). The concept at that time was that a mysterious wolf pack, its habits necessarily changed by the effects of global warming on its usual habitat, was forced into conflict with a small mountain town in Colorado. In those days--and because it was a concept for a comic book--the wolves were werewolves. My comic pitch never went anywhere (although some very cool art was done for it), but the idea never left me. When the opportunity came up last year for me to write it as a novel, I jumped at it. The concept has changed over the years--most significantly, the wolves are still something mysterious, but they are definitely not werewolves. But the gist of it--the conflict between the wolves and the small-town humans, forced together by circumstances beyond anyone's control--remains. Thanks for looking at it, and if you give it a try, I think you'll find it suspenseful and more than a little scary. Please let me know what you think.
