Description



About the Book



"The West Texas desert towns of Inferno and Bordertown have been slowly dying. The Snake River isn't the only thing that divides them. Racism and gang wars have turned the sun-scorched flatlands into a powder keg. If anything can unite them now, it's the UFO that comes crashing through the clouds. It brings with it a young alien named Daufin, a fugitive who has taken human form. She knows the terror that awaits this planet -- because it's looking for her. Stinger is an alien bounty hunter with an infinite capacity for death and a devious plan to find Daufin. Entombing the region in an inescapable dome, Stinger unleashes a violent fury unknown to humankind. Now, the few remaining survivors must come together to protect Daufin, themselves, and the world beyond."--



Book Synopsis



The basis for the Peacock TV series Teacup: An extraterrestrial bounty hunter turns a Southern community into its private hunting ground in "the ultimate horror novel" (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

The West Texas desert towns of Inferno and Bordertown have been slowly dying. The Snake River isn't the only thing that divides them. Racism and gang wars have turned the sun-scorched flatlands into a powder keg. If anything can unite them now, it's the UFO that comes crashing through the clouds.

It brings with it a young alien named Daufin, a fugitive who has taken human form. She knows the terror that awaits this planet--because it's looking for her. Stinger is an alien bounty hunter with an infinite capacity for death and a devious plan to find Daufin. Entombing the region in an inescapable dome, Stinger unleashes a violent fury unknown to humankind. Now, the few remaining survivors must come together to protect Daufin, themselves, and the world beyond.

From Robert McCammon, the New York Times-bestselling and Bram Stoker Award-winning author, Stinger is "one of the best suspense novels of recent years" (Science Fiction Chronicle). It has now been adapted into one of the most hotly anticipated horror series on television: Teacup, premiering on Peacock this October.

About the Author



One of the founders of the Horror Writers Association, Robert McCammon (b. 1952) is one of the country's most accomplished authors of modern horror and historical fiction. Raised by his grandparents in Birmingham, Alabama, McCammon published his first novel, the Revelations-inspired Baal, when he was only twenty-six. His writings continued in a supernatural vein throughout the 1980s, producing such bestselling titles as Swan Song, The Wolf's Hour, and Stinger. In 1991 Boy's Life won the World Fantasy Award for best novel. After his next novel, Gone South, McCammon took a break from writing to spend more time with his family. He did not publish another novel until 2002's Speaks the Nightbird. Since then he has followed "fixer" Matthew Corbett in two sequels, The Queen of Bedlam and Mister Slaughter. His newest novel is The Five. McCammon and his family continue to live in Birmingham.
