Mount Misery, a science fiction, mystery/thriller by POMA member Angelo Peluso is set in the area of the Long Island Sound and has a fishy plot. Random attacks by unknown creatures with a taste for human flesh are terrorizing residents. Initially, the sound-dweller’s savagery and penchant for human blood went undetected. 

Marine biologist Katie DiNardo and ichthyologist Nick Tanner witnessed the damage caused by the mystery creatures but are at a loss as to the identity of the attacking species. As they research, people are dying and there’s no saying when the terror will end.

In a style similar to Jaws, Mount Misery grips readers on page one and doesn’t let go. Fans of horror and science fiction will rejoice at Mount Misery. Readers also will enjoy the throwback style that made the genre what it is today.

From Skyhorse Publishing, Mount Misery is available at all major book outlets and online. It’s also available in print, as an e-book and audio book. Signed and inscribed copies are available directly from the author.
