THE RUMINATORS

It's been almost a year since dad went to the store for roofing supplies and never came back. One day he was joking that he saw a supposedly mythical chupacabra in the back yard, and the next day, he was gone.For Marsha, a camping trip to the remote desert mountain known as 'Thieves Peak' with her younger brother and their out-of-town cousin could be the perfect summer distraction from the inexplicable paternal abandonment. Cousin Philo hopes to find the gold bars that locals say wild west bandits have hidden in the rugged foothills, but Shawn just wants to scare the city dude with wild campfire tales of blood-sucking monsters.

When a sinkhole opens beneath their feet, the three teens are swallowed into the midst of a colony of odd mutant creatures, and may turn out to be unwitting snacks for a pair of real life chupacabras that are loose in the old mining tunnels. Could it be that the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Shawn and Marsha's father actually had something to do with all of this?

THE LINGERLINGS

Dr. Frank Mater, PhD, has a reputation for being somewhat of a cryptid expert, owing to his strange experiences with a nasty pair of chuacabras. So when he hears that someone has reported seeing an unusual creature in the forests of East Texas, the zoologist enlists his kids and their cousin to go and check it out. Just for fun.

Last summer Marsha, Shawn, and Philo had an unbelievable adventure in (and under) the New Mexico desert. They aren't expecting a repeat of that kind of excitement on this camping trip with Dad, but when the young adventurers finally catch up with the odd little animal, they find more than just a suspected living fossil.

Is this strange creature a remnant of Earth's past that has somehow remained hidden from the progression of time, or could it actually be an otherworldly piece of our Universe's future?
