The Izard County Incubus
About
Madness doesn’t need a monster to leave a trail of bodies.
When a frantic fourteen-year-old girl walks into the local Sheriff’s Office wearing blood-soaked kitten pajamas, her story sounds like a descent into hell. She claims angels and demons fought over her childhood home while her family tore themselves apart. For big-city transplant Detective Dakota Diaz, taking the lead on the farmhouse massacre means stepping directly into a waking nightmare where the lines between reality and delusion are completely erased.
Desperate for answers in a tight-lipped, rural community, Dakota brings in retired detective Hilrey Higgins. Together, they plunge into the dark underbelly of Izard County, only to discover that the "demons" haunting the woods carry a terrifyingly human face—and a supply of mind-altering LSD. As the investigation uncovers a depraved web of science and sin, the case begins to claw at Dakota’s own psychological grip on reality.
Infused with the raw, uncompromising authenticity of a former law enforcement officer, THE IZARD COUNTY INCUBUS is a pitch-black psychological crime thriller. It pulls back the curtain on the brutal, hidden realities of rural crime, delivering a stomach-churning mystery where the ultimate salvation might just demand the unthinkable.
If you’re obsessed with the psychological dread of True Detective, the hallucinatory tension of The Outsider, and gritty police procedurals that refuse to pull punches, grab your copy of Andrew Alman’s second chilling masterpiece today!

Praise for this book
Is it really wrong if it’s vigilante justice? And said victims are awful people? Well that can be determined by the reader. I enjoyed the continuation of this series, and was anxious to see what retired cop Hilrey & detective Dakota would be up to in book 2, especially after finding out in book 1 who the k!ller was. During the acts of vigilante justice, they stayed grounded & their motivations for such acts felt authentic. Fans of crime dramas that enjoy justice prevailing regardless of what the justice system says, will enjoy this series.
