Bad Games

The terrifying bestseller that started it all, now optioned for feature film.

The Lambert Family is heading to Crescent Lake for an idyllic weekend getaway. Some fishing, some barbecue, some games...

The Fannelli brothers are heading to Crescent Lake too. Some stalking, some kidnapping, some murder, definitely some games...though certainly not the type of games the Lamberts had in mind.

But it doesn't matter. The Lamberts are playing whether they like it or not. A dark and intense psychological thriller, Bad Games will keep you up all night as it delves into the evil in man, along with the will and determination an innocent family must summon to fight back against horrific odds.

BONUS! Includes the first chapter of the pulse-pounding sequel, Vengeful Games.
