Book 1 - War in the Ruins
When a sudden storm slams Katy’s boat into the shore, she’s forced to enter the lawless wasteland she’d avoided since the world ended. The horror she discovers amongst the ruins is far worse than she could have imagined. The masked warriors of the Venganza clan chase Katy through the post-apocalyptic landscape, forcing her to decide between her past or the survivors’ future — a decision that could determine the fate of the human race.
Book 2 - Escape from the Ruins
With toxic water and food shortages ravaging the settlement of Erehwon in the Cleveland ruins, Hado must get to the truth of what is happening to the Venganza tribe. But betrayal and an internal threat will send the women of the clan across the post-apocalyptic lands of North America on a quest to the west where humanity’s hope may hang in the balance.
Book 3 - Return to the Ruins
On the edge of the Pacific Ocean and in the shadow of the San Francisco ruins, a local war over depleted water reserves pulls Dia deep into a conflict she'd rather avoid. And when a visitor arrives to claim the clan's resources, the ensuing battle will leave few survivors. Can Dia rise up and save the colony of Erehwon?
BARREN is the complete trilogy, a post-apocalyptic thriller from bestselling authors, J. Thorn and Zach Bohannon.

Then scroll back up and download The Witness right now!Author Q&A:Tell us about The Witness.The Witness is my second book, and was highly influenced by my love for the classic slasher films from the 70's and 80's. If you're a fan of the good ole days of campy slasher horror, brought to us by legends such as Wes Craven or John Carpenter, then I think you'll really enjoy The Witness.What can readers expect?A high body count (laughs). The book has some pretty grotesque scenes without going too far over the edge. It's definitely not 'torture porn'. The gory scenes have meaning and purpose, and the overall story is suspenseful.Who is this book for?As I mentioned before, this book was highly influenced by old school slasher horror. So, if you're a fan of Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, or The Devil's Rejects, then you'll really enjoy The Witness.***WARNING*** The Witness is meant for mature audiences only. It features some graphic descriptions of violence and death including cannibalism and torture. If you are not used to reading extreme horror or watching slasher films, this may not be the book for you. Please purchase at your own discretion.

Hank knew the truth…
Nothing lasts forever. Not even death.
So what was he doing inside of the abandoned observatory?
He didn’t want to believe his wife was dead—didn’t want to live his life without her. Their son needed his mother, didn’t he?
The townsfolk had scared the children away from the observatory for decades, the one next to Lakeview Cemetery. Pure horror, they’d whispered. They said, “Satan himself wouldn’t walk through that graveyard.” And yet the black magic rising from the cold earth always seemed to beckon…
Hank had been raised a good Christian. He knew better.
But what if he could bring her back?
They didn’t understand.
He was the one who lost a wife.
Their son had lost his mother.
In the name of love, he’d bring her back. No matter the consequences.
You’ll love this horror novel, because none of us know if we’d raise our loved ones from the grave—until we can.
Fans of Supernatural and Lucifer will love American Demon Hunters.
