This Crimson Corset is Coming to Audiobook!

Alistair’s novel, The Crimson Corset, is officially in production for audiobook! After some revisions it will go on to the next step and should be done and available soon. Updates to come!

Pictured below is actor Allen Andrews, who not only narrated the book but did an awesome job with all the folks in Crimson Cove – the fanged and unfanged alike (Alistair even thinks he looks a little like Cade Colter – but he says that about a lot of people.) Allen is a theatrically trained actor and voice professional whose many roles have included Gaston (of Beauty and the Beast notoriety) to Clyde Barrow (of that endlessly fascinating disastrous duo, Bonnie and Clyde.) Learn more about Allen at: allenandrewsactor.com 

Stay tuned for updates!

The Crimson Corset is available in ebook and paperback at Amazon and everywhere books are sold. Book 2, The Silver Dagger, is also available, and book 3, The Black Wasp, is on its way!

The Black Wasp – Cover Reveal!

The Black Wasp is the third book in Alistair’s Vampires of Crimson Cove series – and it’s coming this winter! Here is the cover and teaser. Get the first two books in the series: (#1 – The Crimson Corset and #2 – The Silver Dagger.)

Something is coming.

Cade Colter is dealing with a group of fanatical vampire killers even as he grieves the death of his girlfriend at the fangs of his own brother. His life is in turmoil and just when it seems things couldn’t get worse a new evil comes to town.

The Woman in Black is back.

Now, something else roams the streets of Crimson Cove – something far deadlier than any vampire. She comes with the fog, she comes with the night, and she’s spreading a lethal poison that slowly rots her victims from the inside out … and she’s looking for Cade.

Sooner or later, you’ll see her, too.

First comes the deadly low hum of a thousand black wasps…

Then a feeling of dread so deep and cold that you dare not breathe…

A figure, a woman dressed in old-fashioned widow’s weeds, appears before you …

Don’t Scream.

She wants to know your terror. She wants to taste your pain.

THE SILVER DAGGER is Now Available!

THE SILVER DAGGER is now available in ebook and paperback at Amazon.com!

Brother Against Brother
Life in Crimson Cove has been good to the Colter Brothers since Gretchen VanTreese was staked and her horde of vampires scattered. Brooks is once again human, and Cade, the rare Sire Gretchen had determined to take as her mate, is in love. Then the unthinkable happens: Gretchen rises from the grave, and the brothers are torn apart, their lives – and the peace between them – shattered.

A Trail of Blood
When Cade comes into possession of an ancient ceremonial dagger he awakens a power so deadly it defies comprehension. Meanwhile, a serial killer is stalking the little mountain town, leaving a trail of blood that leads to a truth Sheriff Ethan Hunter doesn’t want to face. And unknown to either of them, Gretchen is preparing to reopen her notorious nightclub, The Crimson Corset – and building an army to destroy her enemies and reclaim Cade Colter as her own. 

A New Breed of Evil
The streets are no longer safe, nor are the forested paths, for a new and unknowable evil has come to Crimson Cove and everyone – vampire and human alike – must come together in order to survive.

THE CRIMSON CORSET (book 1) is also available!

“Put Bram Stoker in a giant cocktail shaker, add a pinch of Laurell K. Hamilton, a shot of John Carpenter, and a healthy jigger of absinthe, and you’ll end up with Alistair Cross’s modern Gothic chiller, “The Crimson Corset” – a deliciously terrifying tale that will sink its teeth into you from page one.” – Jay Bonansinga, New York Times Bestselling author of THE WALKING DEAD: INVASION and LUCID
