She had nowhere left to hide…

Vivian Carmichael has been hiding in the San Bernardino Mountains for more than a year. Far from cell towers and video cameras, she thinks she’s finally found a safe place to raise her four-year old son Cody. Until the night he crawls into her bed and whispers two words that fill her with terror.

“Daddy’s home.”

Now running for her life, she’s horrified to learn that her estranged husband Jarod is not quite human anymore. Can she unravel the mystery of her family’s dark secret before he can steal her son, claiming her as his next victim?

“The Portal by Christopher Allan Poe is one of the best paranormal thrillers I’ve read in quite a while. Once I picked it up, I absolutely couldn’t put it down. I just had to know what happened next. Poe painted a picture of a villain and a world that intrigued and fascinated even as it terrified me. Every time I thought the heroine was going to escape, something came along to trip her up. I think I’d bitten all my fingernails off by the end of chapter four.”

“Fans of Stephen King and Dean Koontz will really enjoy this tale that wraps childhood fears of things that go bump in the night with adult realities of deadly relationships and human choices with catastrophic consequences.”
