An experiment gone wrong overloads thirteen year-old Oumou's psychokinetic abilities and strands her in the tiny town of Archwood, North Carolina. Free from the dismal research lab that has been her home as long as she can remember, she is taken in by a kind family, and finds in their daughter, Amanda, something she's never had: a friend. For the first time, she feels happy. However, she quickly realizes that things are not as perfect as they seem... The local reverend and his followers begin to single her out, and violently conspire against her. Memories she'd long forgotten come back to haunt her. A shadowy figure with no eyes stalks the darkness and wants to claim her for its own dark designs. As these forces work to break Oumou down, her only points of solace are her new friend, and a bitter reporter with a strange ability of his own. They'll have to fight together to stave off the encroaching darkness both of, and out of, this world. "Jackson does not mince words, and he does not pull punches. What claws from these shadows is both an unflinching confrontation with a violent world and a much-needed meditation on what it means to be fearless." - Hailey Piper, author of The Worm and His Kings "A creepy fun thrill ride, perfect for the lovers of supernatural scares" -V.P. Morris, author of Shadowcast "An exhilarating ride! Vaughn A. Jackson knows how to keep readers on the edge of their seats." - Samantha Kolesnik, author of True Crime

When detective Raymond Dehane’s covert operation goes awry, it awakens an ancient creature from its slumber deep in the Mariana Trench. Kaiju groupies Devonte Rhodes and Dr. Skylar O’Hara must work with him and the military to find a way to stop its reign of terror. Caught between fascination and horror as they witness the creature’s destructive power, the three work tirelessly to find a means of protecting what they love, even if it means killing this entirely new species. Meanwhile, in the shadows, members of the criminal organization TEMPEST believe the monster is their ticket to conquering the world. And they won’t rest until its power is in their grasp. With threats both colossal and insidious closing in on them, this motley gang of heroes will have a beast of a time coming out on top.
