Passport to Hell

This psyche-jarring collection of suspense/horror/mystery tales from Nashville’s own Terry Lloyd Vinson will leave the reader equally shell-shocked and horrified...but screaming for more! PANDORA’S BOX PERSONIFIED: A stack of unlabelled DVDs are recovered within the stony confines of a desolate mountaintop hideaway by the last seven survivors of a planet ravaged by an alien-initiated apocalypse. Upon closer inspection, the band of rag-tag, battle-scarred veterans discover that each disk contains a separate tale of terror; brief chronicles of nightmarish landscapes that seem far too realistic for anything Hollywood could have ever produced. Examples of the extreme horrors on display include: PUREBRED: "Man’s Best Friend" has a sudden, insatiable craving for something substantially more filling, not to mention a bit fleshier, than a bowl of soggy "Alpo"...

PASSPORT TO HELL: At a remote, formerly Top Secret Military Installation located within the rocky terrain of a Colorado mountainside, seven battle-weary survivors face down an army of alien invaders for what little remains of the free world.
