It had come back. It had come back and it was stronger ...
In 1988, young American traveler Quincy Redding is trekking across the misty terrain of the Cairngorms, in the Scottish Highlands. She is destined for the infamous peak Ben MacDui, where she soon finds herself debilitated ... and at the mercy of a malevolent entity.
A darkly imaginative and harrowing tale, Prince of Earth spans twenty years, alternately following Quincy in her 1988 ordeal in Scotland as well as Quincy in 2008, when, as an adult, she begins experiencing strangeness that threatens her family and her life. Strangeness that may be related to what happened all those years ago.

MORE PRAISE FOR "THE PRINCE OF EARTH"
“...a horror story in the truest sense, but not one filled with gore and mayhem. No zombies or vampires live within these pages, although there are pages alive with monstrous activities. Here, the reader will deal with the very core of what is or is not humane in the essence of one’s character.”
— Vitina Molgaard, HorrorNovelReviews.com
“Robinson has a way of startling even those who think they can’t be surprised by a plot twist or tangle. The subtleties with which he conveys profound images, thoughts or ideas are often so skillfully crafted, readers will find themselves going back to re-read things just so they can enjoy them a second time. … A fine mastery of the literary craft.”
— Catherine Cruzan, author, Elfkind

A provocative painter named Max Higgins is on the verge of local fame. What is the secret to his work’s haunting allure? He collects photos of missing persons and incorporates them into his paintings, giving the faces, as he puts it, a “new home in his work.” This fascination stems from the bizarre disappearances of people he knew growing up, including his father.
When someone recognizes a face in one of his paintings, he’s suddenly thrust into a journey as surreal as anything from his brush, a journey into his past that will irrevocably determine his future.

Never has Dr. Jeremy Fishleder forgotten the massive creature he glimpsed as a child, staring back at him from the edge of the Florida wilds. Strange and terrifying, the encounter would go on to inform his dual careers: one, as a professor of zoology, the other as a less formal researcher of the weird, probing the obscure landscape where Bigfoot and any other half-mythic beast might just be hiding.
Then, prompted by a health scare and an academic shake-up, Jeremy takes a long-overdue sabbatical for a road trip around the United States, all to places of strange repute. Three recent graduates decide to join him and, as they delve into the wilds of earth and steel, together they discover secrets hidden in the shadows of outer as well as inner nature.
Far more sweeping and unique than a typical "run from the monster", Skunk Ape Semester examines not only the wondrous weirdness in our midst, but its manifold legacy in our culture and our psyche.
