The Crossover Gene
Andy Davis is nothing special. A roster of failed relationships. A magnet for dead-end jobs. Untalented and uninspired. Add in a penchant for booze and drugs and he’s headed nowhere fast.
But when two hit men try to kill him in a dark alley, Andy discovers he’s anything but average. In fact, he’s the most important person in the world.
And the parallel world next door.
Into the Badlands
Three years ago a global pandemic wiped civilization off the planet. Human monsters now roam the land, transformed by the virus into wild animals, killing anyone in their way.
Ed Brady and his two sons survived the end of the world by relying on each other. They’re headed to St. Louis in search of a safe haven, gambling everything on a promise overheard in a garbled radio transmission.
But when they stumble upon an injured survivor who needs their help, Ed must make a choice.
Help and risk everything.
Or allow her to die and give up the only thing keeping them human.
Beyond the Badlands
Who survived The Badlands to make it to the city by the river? Was the city truly a safe haven, or just another dead end, teeming with hordes of the infected? What else is in store for those who survived?
In the dramatic second installment of Into the Badlands, the fate of the survivors and the truth about the city by the river is finally revealed. For some the journey has ended, but for those who remain, surviving the end of the world will be only the beginning.
The Desolate
In an attempt to rebuild his life from the wreckage of a failed marriage, Scott Stevenson moves to a small town miles away from the problems of his former life. There he buys a new home, makes a friend, and even catches the eye of a local girl.
But something is very wrong in this idyllic, Midwestern town. Mutilated bodies of young women are turning up, chilling displays of savage brutality the town has never before seen. The victims all bear a striking resemblance to the new lady in Scott’s life and, worse still, the law is more than suspicious of the “new guy in town”.
Scott soon finds himself in the way of a killer. Fearful for the safety of his girlfriend and himself, Scott must tap into his darker side, his evil side, in order to survive. There he’ll discover a path to a place more desolate than he could ever imagine.
The Desolate is a fast-paced, dark horror thriller filled with murder, suspense, mystery, and deception. It contains strong language and graphic scenes of violence and is recommended only for mature readers.

Walking At Night
A childhood evil thought long dead reawakens. In the deep, dark woods death methodically stalks its prey. A strange mirror found in an unknown cave is much more than it appears to be. The perfect plan takes an unexpected turn, while death comes for everyone in frighteningly different shapes and forms. A tortured survivor quests endlessly for atonement that may never come. Strange and terrifying creatures that shouldn’t exist, do.
These are some of the chilling and speculative themes found in Brian J. Jarrett’s Walking At Night. A work some fifteen years in the making, this collection features some of the author’s darkest themes and some of his strangest worlds yet imagined. Walking At Night will take readers on nine suspense-filled trips to the dark side of humanity, and to places beyond the realm of science and reason.
