Salkin. His 16th book, Little Things Big, is now available. When a lab leak unleashes genetically engineered skin mites, survival becomes a nightmare. Global Tech believes it has solved world hunger. Using revolutionary genetic engineering, the powerful Big Ag corporation has created livestock the size of elephants—cattle, pigs, and sheep engineered to feed the planet and make billions in the process. To secure political support, Global Tech hosts an exclusive showcase at its rural Pennsylvania headquarters, inviting senators, congressmen, and investors to witness the future of agriculture. But not everyone believes Global Tech should control the food supply. When eco-terrorists attack the facility, their sabotage triggers a catastrophic accident inside the research labs. What they release isn’t just dangerous—it’s monstrous. From the earliest days of Global Tech’s experiments come the forgotten failures: genetically altered skin mites that grow, multiply, and swarm with horrifying speed. Within minutes, the party becomes a battlefield. Scientists, Secret Service agents, and trapped guests must fight their way through a nightmare of crawling fl <a href='https://www.crystallakepub.com/out-today-little-things-big-by-david-m-salkin/' target='_blank'>Continue Reading</a> Joe Mynhardt https://www.crystallakepub.com/out-today-little-things-big-by-david-m-salkin/ Fri, 17 Apr 2026 09:58:05 +0000 https://www.crystallakepub.com/cover-reveal-for-dark-reservoir-by-cindy-oquinn-and-nzondi/ <p>Cover Reveal for Dark Reservoir, a poetry collection by Cindy O&#8217;Quinn and Nzondi.

Now in the wake of the second World War, the island is dying, the young taken away by death or the appeal of better lives elsewhere, leaving behind only a handful of adults.</p><p>But on the night the men of the island disappear while fishing in uncharted waters, the women of Winding Gale are forced into a conflict with something both new and unfathomably old.</p><p>A strange greenish mist rolls in, cutting the island off from the mainland. Spiral symbols appear in the sand, fashioned from dead fish and stones. Seductive voices lure people from their homes to walk into the sea. Ancient ships materialize in the fog. And specters of the past will rise to take their vengeance in blood.</p><p>Because this is Samhain, a time when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest, and there is something rising from the deep that will thrust the women of Winding Gale into a war against an unspeakable evil few of them may survive.</p><p><br></p><p>I can always count on Kealan Patrick Burke to pull me out of a reading slump.
