A disabled cop and his ex battle giant centipedes and ghouls in a small riverside community that's about to be flooded out.
The rain-drenched riverside town of Sherwood's Landing, NJ is invaded by a species of centipede from Central America armed with psychedelic venom. Former cop Lafferty "Hoff" Hoffman and his ex-girlfriend Beatrice St. John are swept into terror as their neighbors are enslaved by a centipede-generated group mind. Those remaining free must band together to survive the onslaught of ravenous ghouls.

Interview with A.L. Sirois
I had the pleasure of interviewing the author of Jersey Ghouls, Mr. A.L. Sirois. Read on!
- Please tell us something unique about you that we can’t learn from your bio.
I had a serious stroke in 2009, and walked out of the hospital about a week and a half later, essentially unimpaired. I am unimaginably lucky! - What’s your favorite part of writing?
The actual writing. I love the creative act. It takes me out of myself. - What’s the strangest thing you’ve learned while researching a book?
Strange and funny. The lead character in The Bohemian Magician, Duke Guilhem IX of the Aquitaine, was known for seducing his neighbors’ wives. Once he pretended to be amute so that two ladies wouldn’t suspect him. They dragged a live cat down his back to see if he’d cry out. He didn’t but he later wrote a scandalous song about the incident. He was the first troubdour. - What's the draw of writing horror stories for you?
Funnily enough, I read little horror—aside from Stephen King. But I do like to be scared, and I enjoy making up scary stuff. - If you could live in one of your stories, which one would you choose and why?
I think I’d like to live in the world of New York City in 1936, the setting for my book The Rockets of Greenwood Lake. - What stories do you wish you had time to write?
I love writing short stories as opposed to books, so I wish I had the time to write more short stories. - What would you most like to accomplish as a writer?
