North County Paranormal Unit

The only thing standing between Central Massachusetts and the forces of darkness is this group of underfunded, over-caffeinated investigators. How screwed are we, really?

The North County branch is one of the best paranormal investigation and cleanup teams employed by the Foundation for Paranormal Research. They keep the residents of Northern Worcester County, Massachusetts safe from the things that secretly live among them. That is, if they can avoid killing each other in the process.

In this special collection, get to know the world of North County Paranormal Unit through two volumes. A novella set one year before the main series, The Vanishing House has the team tackling what should be a simple haunted house case. Madelyn, a young agent still recovering from a horrible work accident, badly wants to be back in the field while her friends want to keep her safe. But when one of their own disappears inside the building, the team quickly learns that they're on their own to bring her back. And Madelyn might hold the key.

Then, in North County Paranormal Unit #1, Gabriella, a recent college graduate, gets an invitation to join her cousin at the local branch of the Foundation for Paranormal Studies. Hunting ghosts and monsters isn't what she had in mind after school. But she needs a job and this one is available, so she takes it.

But then her first case goes horribly wrong. Injured and confused in the aftermath, Gabriella is forced to choose sides within the team. All her life, Gabriella's been told to be nice and trust her higher-ups, that by not making waves she'll be kept safe. But is that the right decision in a situation when it pits her against her team? And what's the price if she chooses incorrectly?
