"Claw Heart Mountain is beautifully written." --HorrorDNA "Anyone looking for gripping natural horror should check this out." --Publishers Weekly What happens when good people make one bad decision? Imagine you are on the way to a remote mountain cabin with your friends. Upon arrival, you discover an abandoned armored van with fifteen million dollars on board. Would you take the money? Nova and her friends answer with a resounding yes. Perhaps their answer would have been different had they known that a professional killer was already tracking down the money. Or that a legendary creature known as the Wraith roams the mountain, ravenous with hunger. Thinking they're safe and anonymous, Nova and her friends divvy up the stolen cash, unaware who or what is after them, unaware that soon they will be fighting for their lives. For readers who enjoy The Ritual by Adam Nevill and The Terror by Dan Simmons.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a phenomenon known as the Despair, the story follows Norman, one of the few survivors.

His quest leads him across North America in search of a scientist in Seattle rumored to be developing a cure. Faced with numerous challenges in a landscape dominated by death, Norman's journey is a fight for survival and hope amid despair.
