Publisher's Synopsis
A secret government military science experiment gone awry? Something strange in the food? Rabies or some other deadly contagion? Demonic possession? What makes all the cats in this small town band together and go on a rampage, attacking and killing--both people and animals--en masse?
"Sixteen cats this morning. He counted them; sixteen for sure. The old man sat on the side of his bed, shaking his head in amazement as the cats lounged all around his bedroom, looking at him. Their tails silently flicked the air, as if orchestrating the morning birdsong that drifted in from the woods outside.It was early spring, and this week was warmer than usual, so last night he'd slept with the window open. Looking up at it now, he saw the bent, rusty screen was still in place, wedged crooked in the paint-flaked window frame. He wondered how the hell they kept getting in at night..."
...and little did he know, this was only the beginning of what would become a horrific nightmare--not only for him, but for the entire town...
Thus begins the fun and creepy novel CATS: the number of the beast...love 'em or hate 'em, you'll never look at cats the same way again--especially when they are quietly looking back at you...
What Readers Are Saying:
"Good stuff! I downloaded it as a free book a week or so ago and wasn't expecting much. To my surprise I found Cats to be a fun, creepy story that is pretty well written. I highly recommend it."
"I will give this debut book [Rolling The Bones] by Rand Eastwood 5 stars just for the story "Cats" alone, which hearkens back to the halycon days when writers like Stephen King, Dennis Etchison, and Mort Castle were paying the bills publishing in the girlie magazines. Outstanding, well-paced, and eerie."
NOTE: The novel CATS: the number of the beast is included in its entirety in the collection Rolling The Bones: 12 Tales of Life, Death, Loss, & Redemption, which is also available on Kindle, and in trade paperback.
