From summer vacations soaked in blood to cursed castles buried deep in Europe, Allen DeShawn’s life has been anything but ordinary. This pulse-pounding omnibus collects all five terrifying, action-packed books in the I Kill Cursed Creatures series—a coming-of-age saga drenched in horror, heartbreak, and tooth-and-claw survival.

Allen DeShawn believes his monster-hunting days ended five years ago after he killed the werewolf. Now it’s December 1994 and he’s itching for his high school’s Christmas Break and goofing off with his new friends. But when attractive girls go missing and Allen stumbles on the hottest teacher in school half-dead outside her house, he suspects something bad is going around and it isn’t the flu.

Allen and his friends just want a relaxing weekend. A little camping, a bit of fishing… and no monster hunting. Too bad a nameless evil has broken the veil between worlds, seeking to devour all the life it can find. Worse, the ravenous cosmic horror has attached itself to a troubled teen from a Scout troop. The parasitic union strengthens both in the unholy alliance. And the bodies start stacking up at an alarming rate. But, as the eldritch entity senses a unique reservoir of power in Allen, it hungers for a new bond. One that will make it unstoppable.

Allen DeShawn is ready to graduate high school and put all his horrific tragedies behind him. But lurking in the darkness is a sinister mind that has watched him for years. And now it’s ready to sacrifice him and his friends to gain an unholy power over the world of the living. But Allen is no slouch. When classmates start dying left and right and their bodies turn up mutilated, he knows something evil is at work. He commits to bringing down the killer witch behind it all.

One fateful night his best friend is slaughtered and the Werewolf responsible soon seizes upon Allen’s scent. What follows is a relentless season of blood and survival. Bodies turn up shredded and eviscerated while the townspeople grow ever more concerned. But one boy armed only with a love for horror movies is uniquely equipped to uncover the truth.
