Description
Something has oozed out from the vents atop the roof of the multi-story high rise Cooper Center Hospital, foaming and rolling, and when helicopter pilot Bobbi attempts to land upon that very roof with her paramedic and physician assistant they could tell as soon as they landed that the only way to escape was to enter the building and find their ways down.... mere steps ahead of an ever-spreading poisonous mat of rapidly-evolving purple fungus. Floor by floor as they descend, they encounter horrors which defy logic and fight to survive. Acclaimed horror scribe (The Blood-Red Night of Hatchet Valley, Fully Functional) and independent horror film director (The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, Flesh of my Flesh, and The Dead) achieves a remarkable, fast-paced and terrifying vision of high-rise creature mayhem in an unputdownable read that will please and delight any avid horror fan as well as fans of the author!
