The Hollow Apes

Black Pine survived the forest. Now something is hunting beneath the town.

A year after the last attack, Cal and Nora are trying to rebuild their lives while Black Pine struggles to recover. Then Main Street collapses and exposes a hidden tunnel system running beneath the town.

Inside waits a new breed of monster.

Hairless. Blind. Pale from generations underground.

The Hollow Apes move through sewers, mines and drainage pipes, tracking every vibration above them. They crawl beneath bedrooms. They click through household plumbing. And when they kill, they drag the bodies underground.

An old government tag leads Cal, Nora, Harlan and Tyler to an abandoned research station buried deep in the mountains. What they uncover points toward a forgotten experiment, a sealed mine and a massive colony already nesting beneath Black Pine.

At the center of it all is H-0, an ancient female covered in hardened scar tissue and strong enough to tear the town apart from below.

With the tunnels flooding and hundreds of creatures closing in, Cal must face the one instinct that has always driven him into danger: his need to save everyone, even when the cost is his own life.

THE HOLLOW APES is Book 3 in the Black Pine Rescue series, a fast, brutal creature-horror thriller packed with subterranean terror, savage monster attacks and relentless survival action.
