That’s what the ad promised, and Jordan Carter didn’t hesitate to sign up.
Strapped for cash, he endures a strange interview and an appetizer of stale bread to join Talons’ new food-tasting group. The other participants agree it’s a strange company, but it’s easy money.
After the second meal, though, Jordan fears the food might be making him sick.
Not just physically nauseous—mentally unwell.
Intrusive thoughts plague his days, and disturbing nightmares fill his sleep. Other participants in the focus group begin disappearing one by one, but there’s no proof that Talons is responsible. When Jordan vomits blood that doctors say isn’t his, he’s convinced something supernatural is happening.
Desperate for answers, Jordan falls down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, astrology, crystal healing, secret societies, and new-age science to unravel Talons’ evil secret.
A mind-bending mystery with a side of horror, The Little Season dares you to question everything you put in your mouth.

Praise for Other Works
"Holy cow. I honestly didn’t know what I was getting myself into with this one. These stories were totally bonkers! They definitely kept me interested, on-edge, and curious."
- Katherine Gisleson on Petite Mort, Amazon Review
"This collection was wacky, it was weird, it was entertaining and even a little bit emotional." - Stephanie C. on Petite Mort, Netgalley
"There are a lot of really great moments of mystery and suspense in Suck-U-Bus— not to mention the unhinged plot twist at the end of the novel. I overall really enjoyed this novel and S.C. Mendes’ work. I cannot wait to read other works from this author."
- Kylee on Suck-U-Bus, Amazon Review
“A slick story that combines gumshoe noir and extreme horror.” -
"The City by S. C. Mendes is an engrossing, taboo delight of a novel that will suck you in to the underground depths of depravity, freedom and forbidden fruit and knowledge it has to offer."
Mike Duke,
author of Low
"Mendes' novels are darkly gleaming puzzle-boxes that, once solved, reveal their awesome horrors."
