Serial killers come in all shapes and sizes, but this one is particularly puzzling.There's no pattern to the mutilated bodies that have been showing up in Albuquerque: both sexes, all races, ages, ethnic groups. There is no evidence of rape or ritual. Only one thing connects the victims. They were the victims of a natural disaster. One of the most unnatural natural disasters imaginable, leading to a most painful, most certain and most hideous death....

Dr. Gregory, a renowned nuclear weapons researcher, is not only dead--he's been charred to a radioactive cinder.
Since this is a death on Federal property, Mulder and Scully are hastily called in. As FBI agents who specialize in unexplained phenomena, they are the investigators of The X-Files, strange and inexplicable cases which are also mysteries that the FBI doesn't want solved.
When a second victim, completely unrelated to nuclear science or Dr. Gregory is obliterated in the New Mexico desert, and then a third dies the same way in Washington, DC, Mulder and Scully begin to focus on the frightening dimension of their task. The bizarre deaths cannot be a coincidence. And as they work to uncover the secret unifying element that unites these deaths, it becomes clear that this twisted puzzle has fatal consequences for the entire world.

When a disease-ravaged body is found in the smoldering ruins of the federally funded DyMar genetic research lab, Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully fear that a deadly, man-made plague is on the loose. As the FBI agents investigating the "X-Files" -- cases the bureau has deemed unsolvable -- Mulder and Scully pursue the truth wherever it leads, even into the labyrinthine corridors of the FBI... and beyond.
Racing to contain the lethal virus before it can spread, Mulder and Scully make a chilling discovery. Before his death, Dr. David Kennessy, a hotshot cancer researcher at DyMar, had been experimenting with a promising but highly dangerous technology: microscopic bio-machines that can cure any disease, heal any wound. In theory, this research could be a miracle cure, perhaps even a doorway to immortality. It was also the only way Dr. Kennessy could save his leukemia-stricken son.
But when a second corpse turns up, savagely mutilated from within, it's anything but theoretical. Could machines created to cure have learned to kill? Scrambling for answers, Mulder and Scully are opposed at every step by faceless enemies with all the resources of the government -- even perhaps of their own agency -- at their command. Enemies who will stop at nothing to ensure that the secret of immortality falls in the right hands -- their hands.
As sinister forces close in, Scully fights to save the life of an innocent boy while Mulder comes face to face with a crazed and desperate man. A man whose slightest touch brings agonizing death -- and perhaps a resurrection more horrible still.

Fatal Flesh
When moonlighting medical students "harvesting" skin from a corpse for temporary use accidentally take it from the wrong donor, the results are catastrophic:a New York City hospital ward is destroyed in a bloodbath, and an elderly professor, admitted for a routine skin graft, is suddenly the city's most wanted fugitive.
Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are the only ones to suspect something more ominous than a medical procedure gone awry. As the FBI agents investigating the "X-Files"--strange and inexplicable cases the Bureau wants to keep hidden--Mulder and Scully are determined to track down the forces they suspect are behind the murderer.
While the police hunt the fleeing professor, Mulder and Scully track the skin that was grafted onto him, a trail that leads from the morgue to the headquarters of a cutting-edge biotech company to the jungles of Thailand. Together they begin to uncover an unholy and totally deniable alliance between a battle-trained plastic surgeon, international politicians, and a legendary Thai monster known as the "Skin-Eater."

In the bitter heart of a brutal winter, women are inexplicably vanishing in rural Virginia. The only clues to the bizarre disappearances are grotesque remains— human remains—that are turning up in snow banks along the highway. And a disgraced priest has begun to experience strange and disturbing visions possibly connected with a terrible secret. But are the images haunting a fallen man of God to be trusted . . . . or are they the deadly lies of a twisted mind?
It is a case right out of the X-Files. But the FBI suspended its investigations into the paranormal years ago. Ex-agents Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully are the best team for the job, but they have no desire to revisit the past. Still, the truth about these horrific crimes is out there . . . . and only Mulder and Scully can uncover it.

10 Books for People Who Love the X-Files
This post is sponsored by X-Files: Origins .
How did Fox Mulder become a believer? What made Dana Scully a skeptic? The X-Files Origins has the answers. Read these dark thrillers to find out why millions of people became obsessed with The X-Files .
I am not going to lie, I squealed a bit when I heard they were doing young adult books revolving around teenage Mulder and Scully. As an almost-die-hard fan (I have seen seasons one through seven multiple times, but haven’t been able to bring myself to watch the last two of the original run, so I haven’t watched the new season yet), this idea pleased me greatly. I’m so excited to read them! But whether or not you have read them, here are ten great books full of weirdness for X-Files fans to enjoy.
If you are a fan of the episode “Syzygy,” about the hormone-driven supernatural happenings at a small town high school, you’ll love Abbott’s look at high school and hysteria. When a mysterious illness strikes down a student, rumors run rampant and secrets are spilled as girl after girl begin to exhibit symptoms and the town struggles to find the cause as people wonder who will catch it next.
The X-Files has managed to have episodes about most of the famous monsters from classic literature, including “Shapes,” about werewolves. One of the best recent novels about werewolves is Mongrels , about a young boy who may or may not be being raised by werewolves. Orphaned by his parents, he lives a life of constant upheaval, moving all across the country with his aunt and uncle, who have some peculiar nighttime habits.
Did you know the Richard Gere movie was based on actual events? In 1966, journalist Keel visited Point Pleasant, WV, to investigate reports of mysterious lights, mutilated farm animals, and a winged, red-eyed apparition known as The Mothman. And if none of that scares you, the bit about the bridge will give you chills.
If the “Jose Chung’s ‘From Outer Space'” episode is one of your favorites, you’ll love this silly story about a shape-shifting extraterrestrial named Gurb who is sent to Earth on a fact-finding mission, but transforms himself into the singer Madonna, falls in love with the planet, and cuts off contact with his ship. Silly and charming.
If you love the episodes “Ice” or “Firewalker,” you’ll love this scary, disgusting story about a troop of Boy Scouts stranded on an island who encounter a killer alien parasite that starts picking them off one by one. Hella fun, and did I mention it’s disgusting?
Did you see the episode where Scully goes on vacation in Maine and winds up investigating a killer doll? (Written by Stephen King!) If you like creepy doll books, check out this story about a young woman staying with her aunt and uncle who is having a hard time convincing them she is not the one trashing her bedroom and setting fires. Rebecca doesn’t understand why she’s being accused of all these terrible things. Good thing she has her doll, Yvette, to confide in…
If you enjoyed the super creepy “Elegy” episode, there are a lot of aspects from that novel in this book that you’re sure to love. Delia’s family moves into a creepy old house, but it turns out it wasn’t just any old house – it was a former asylum for “troubled females.” And as Delia quickly discovers when she becomes trapped in the home, some of the inmates still haven’t left…
The X-Files has had the New Jersey Devil, swarming insects, moon men, chupacabras, and a bunch of other weird plots taken from real-life stories. You can learn about a ton of unexplained things that have happened on and off Earth in this fun book of unusual happenings.
Love all the secret government stuff taking place on The X-Files? This is the book for you! Jacobsen has written a Pulitzer-nominated, comprehensive history of the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, the Defense Department’s most secret, most powerful, and most controversial military science R&D agency.
If you enjoy the episodes about cult and religion, like “The Field Where I Died” (and let’s not forget those cannibal chicken plant people!) this is a fantastic story about a young cult follower who is sent to juvenile detention after the leader of the cult is murdered, and the story of her life in the cult before she wound up behind bars. It’s incredibly harrowing and fantastic.

X-Files is a science fiction series written by Charles L. Grant, Kevin J. Anderson, Ben Mezrich, Elizabeth Hand, and Max Allan Collins. To some extent, this series mimics a TV show by the same name and the two X-Files films. For fans of the X-Files TV show, these book offers a better opportunity to interact with their favorite characters. The authors give the stories some unique twists, and there is much more for the readers to enjoy. In all the X-Files books, there will be detectives working to resolve a mystery. The processes involved and the monsters they have to deal with make the stories more intriguing.
Goblins comes first in the X-Files series. The book stars Scully and Mulder, two FBI agents responsible for investigating unresolved mysteries. In this book, the duo will be investigating the killing of an ex-sergeant. Despite their best efforts, the FBI agents are unable to gather enough details to make sense of the mysterious killing. All they have heard from witnesses makes no sense, and there is a lady who says that a goblin killed the ex-sergeant. Is there any truth to this goblin story? How is it possible that an invisible creature is committing these murders, and is there any way this can be stopped?
Join Mulder and Scully on their journey in search of the truth. Two other officers will assist them in gathering evidence in the small town the ex-sergeant was murdered. As they pour over details in a seedy motel, you cannot help but wonder what details they will discover next. While doing everything possible to unravel the mystery, the officers have to handle everything quietly and quickly. This way, they can ease panic and provide a solution before the public is aware of whatever is going on. As the story unravels, the author provides information on covert military experiments. There is also a nosy reporter and the goblins lady to help spice up the story.
This story comes with all the right ingredients for a good thriller. There are the experienced FBI agents who leave no stone unturned, a mysterious killer on the loose, and enough suspense to keep you turning the pages. This is designed to be a fast read, and the writing is simple and straightforward. The twists and turns towards the end will come as a surprise and send you in search of the next installment in this series. Fort Dix is also quite a setting, and the author has described the town and its motels in such details it will feel like you have been there before. So, will the detectives catch the goblin or at least find the mysterious killer? Read this intriguing book to the end to find out.
If you are a fan of The X-files series, you will love Goblins. It is fun meeting characters you have seen on TV in books and seeing how they worked to solve mysteries and make the world safer. While this book mimics an X-files episode, there are more characters to meet and so much more. This book is also perfect for thriller lovers. The characters are hard to forget, and the storyline so captivating you will want to keep reading until the end. Since the book is just 288, you can gobble it all in a single sitting.
Whirlwind comes second in the X-files series. In this installment, Mulder and Scully will be hunting for a serial killer with no known pattern. The detective cannot find a link to the mutilated bodies that have been discovered. Among the dead are both males and females, and the killer doesn’t seem to be targeting any age group. So, why are these people being killed? The detectives soon realize that all the victims went through a natural disaster. This makes them revisit the natural disaster, and with the current killings in mind, this event continues to appear unnatural by the day. Is there a chance that the killer caused the disaster in the first place? What was the motivation, and why were the killings happening at this time? These are some of the questions Mulder and Scully will be trying to answer throughout the book.
Just like in Goblin, Whirlwind comes with a simple plot, flawless narrations, and characters that you will grow to love. It is fun following Mulder and Scully as they investigate this mystery while trying to stay out of the public eye. There will be many twists throughout the story, and the eerie experiences are spooky enough to keep you at the edge of your seat. Curious to discover the serial killer? Follow Mulder and Scully through their adventures, and you will get all the answers you seek and much more. If you couldn’t get enough of the X-files shows, you will surely love this book.
The author has done exemplary well in developing Mulder and Scully’s characters. You will not only get to know them better but somehow understand the decisions they make. Following the detectives, as they try to solve the mysteries is always fun, and you cannot help but sympathize with them, considering all they have to endure while searching for the truth. Phoenix, where most of the investigation takes place, comes with its fair share of challenges, and Mulder and Scully have to fight storms and some hellish heat while trying to keep the press and killer off their tracks. However, they handle all of it well and uncover some details that weren’t so obvious before.
Whirlwind is straightforward yet so engaging. It is one of those captivating thrillers that you pick and don’t put it down until you have read it to the other cover. Even if you watched all the TV series episodes, there will be many new things to enjoy. Mulder and Scully are ever fun, and it is amazing how well they work together despite their differences. Just like the first book, Whirlwind is relatively short, and you can enjoy it in one or two sittings.
