MEAN DAYS is a riveting thriller that captures readers in the grip of its potentially news-at-ten plot and won’t let go until the shattering conclusion. As it explores the depth and poignancy of the human experience through the sardonic and amusing viewpoint of the assistant principal, Central High is like any other secondary school until violence erupts from within, and a seething ages-old cultural hatred launches a seemingly unstoppable assault. This time, the terrorists are after our children. The novel’s humor tempers the page-turning action-adventure thrust, providing a thoroughly satisfying experience. However, readers are all too aware of the approaching explosive danger that threatens the fictional, yet familiar and recognizable characters from their communities. MEAN DAYS reflects the honesty, humor, humanity, pathos, and potential violence to be found in society and its public institutions.

Phillip Voglen’s novel MEAN DAYS, is a humorous and suspenseful look at the growing problems that administrators, teachers, and students encounter at Central High School, a quiet and peaceful scholarly institution on the North Shore of Long Island. How many issues could possibly go awry at cushy Central High? In short, A LOT! Voglen intermingles a myriad of conflicts, ranging from an English teacher being accused of having an illicit affair with a student, to a major terrorist plot to poison the students of the high school.
The novel’s main character, Brian Scarlucci, is Central High’s Assistant Principal, who has to weave his way through subterfuges and problems provided by the gangs of the school, the colorful and entertaining teaching staff, and even Brian’s own administrative counterparts.
MEAN DAYS addresses many issues that high schools currently do face in today’s “mean world.” However, Voglen’s Scarlucci is a witty and sardonic figure, who constantly provides the reader with opportunities to laugh and understand the illogical and bureaucratic ways of the educational system. Voglen wastes no time with long introductions to the high school’s parade of interesting characters (there is even a mob boss!), and it will be hard to put the book down once you begin reading it. One can only hope that Brian Scarlucci will return for another academic year next September.

.A DYING MAN’S GREATEST TREASURE… Mortimer Moorecook, retired Wall Street raider, avid collector, is losing his fight against cancer. With weeks to live, a package arrives at the door of his hillside mansion–an artifact he paid millions for…a hominoid skull with elongated teeth, discovered in a farmer’s field in the Romanian countryside. With Shanna, his beautiful research assistant looking on, he sinks the skull’s razor sharp fangs into his neck, and immediately goes into convulsions.
OPENS THE DOOR TO AN ANCIENT EVIL… A rural hospital. A slow night in the ER. Until Moorecook arrives strapped to a gurney, where he promptly codes and dies.
WHERE DEATH IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
Four well-known horror authors pool their shared penchant for scares and thrills, and tackle one of the greatest of all legends, with each writer creating a unique character and following them through a vampire outbreak in a secluded hospital.
The goal was simple: write the most intense novel they possibly could.
Which they did.
A Word of Warning: Within these pages, you will find no black capes, no satin-lined coffins, no brooding heartthrobs who want to talk about your feelings. Forget sunlight and stakes. Throw out your garlic and your crosses. This is the Anti-TWILIGHT.
