Welcome to Mad Tales, the special bundled edition of three books by James Noll. Enter a world of terror and pain in A Knife in the Back, travel down the dark recesses of the human mind in You Will Be Safe Here, and finish the trilogy in Burn All The Bodies. In Mad Tales, you get sixteen short stories and three novels! In Raleighs Prep, Topher, Michael, and Kenneth find a mangled body on the rugby field of their new school. They decide to investigate-- inadvertently unleashing the horror that lurks in the woods that surrounds the campus. Trackers Travail picks up their story years after their escape from Raleighs Prep. Arriving in Fredericksburg, Virginia just in time to stop a Class IV CZA, they quickly find themselves embroiled in various other misadventures, including freeing an elementary school from the grips of a power mad secretary, stopping a squid monster lurking in the ancient tunnels beneath the city, and coming face to face with their greatest nemesis yet: The Connoisseur. Who would have thought such a quaint little town could be so lethal? And in Topher’s Ton, the final chapter of the Topher Trilogy, the end of the world comes in a barrage of bombs, a rush of tsunami, and a hail of meteors. Topher, still recovering from his kidnapping by a deranged serial killer, manages to not only survive, but nearly rebuilds civilization. If it weren’t for Rasheed, the demented boy-god with a tank, or Nurse Smith, the deranged leader of a group of crazy doctors, or Liam Chris, a deranged despot seeking revenge, he might have been successful.
