Ryder Ashling’s world is turning upside down. He’s lost his job, wife, home, and now he’s doubting his sanity. Behind his descent are horrific nightmares so vivid that they follow him into the waking world. When he discovers his neighbor has been documenting his nightmares with scientific precision and leaving him vials of a drug called Summoner of Sleep, things get weirder.
His neighbor disappears and Ryder follows his trail to Marble Woods, a town erased from all maps after a historical atrocity. Now it’s whispered to be the home of marble-skinned demons, as well as the source of the plants used to manufacture Summoner of Sleep.

Rich in magic and occultism, fractured characters, and a taste of mystery, Summoner of Sleep is a fast paced, thrill-ride bursting with psychological terror.

The Darkest Gift by Len Handeland
Two worlds collide in this story: one man, the other a vampire. They form a strong bond and, eventually, are bound by a blood covenant known as the dark gift. They are destined to create their own world until their love is violently ripped apart by jealousy and rage. Love eventually triumphs over despair and misery in a different place and time. Are they destined to be together?
Laurent Richelieu is a 250-year-old vampire whose lover and vampire maker, Fabien Levesque, is destroyed in front of him by his vampire maker Stefan in a jealous fit of rage, exacting revenge for Fabien’s rejection of him. Laurent narrowly escapes and leaves Paris to settle in the New World. He anonymously seeks shelter and refuge in the newly established city of New Orleans, with his trusted servant Barthelme sworn to Laurent’s secret. Cloaked in darkness, Laurent struggles with modern times and, in deep despair, haunts the French Quarter’s jazz bars. He listens to beautiful music and seeks out dark tables in the back to hide his blood-soaked tears and mourn the loss of his long-lost love, Fabien.
Deep isolation and loneliness also consume Jack Devereaux, a man’s man who struggles to accept his true sexual attraction to other men and who recently came out of a ten-year failed marriage to a woman. Jack feels estranged from connecting with his gay community because his Catholic faith forbids it. He feels as if he’s unable to exist as either straight or gay. His reluctance to accept his true sexuality leads him from one disastrous sexual encounter to another. Swearing off his same-sex attraction leads Jack back into a straight jazz bar where he unknowingly meets a refined and elegant gentleman that entices, attracts, and, oddly, disturbs Jack. Are they destined to be together? Does Laurent honestly care for Jack? Or is there a much more sinister plot involved? Can the help of a self-described Voodoo High Priestess named “Queen Raphaella” alter Jack’s predestined future, or is his fate already sealed?

Welcome to Peaceful Journey by J. R. Rada
Get Welcome to Peaceful Journey at a limited-time special price of 99 cents!
Welcome to Peaceful Journey Funeral Home where the journey from life to death can be anything but peaceful. The viewing rooms bear the names of heavenly glory as found in the different religions of the world, but it is a long-forgotten religion that controls Peaceful Journey.
Owner Bruce Godsey tries his best to be comforting to mourners, but he has seen a lot more than he can admit. Would mourners find peace in knowing that the corpses come alive at night or that ghosts cannibalize each other? And those are just the easiest oddities to accept at the funeral home.
The problem is not the funeral home. It’s the land on which the building was built. The ancient people who once lived on the land and performed their religious ceremonies were extinct long before Native Americans arrived to claim the land. However, the spirits of these ancient ones still roam the land and the remnants of their mysticism has found expression in the rooms of Peaceful Journey.
Here, a hand can still be connected to its unseen body on the other side of the veil, but the body of what sort of being. Ghostly beings can walk among other ghosts without being seen. The newly departed learned that life continues, though it may be in an unexpected form.

Ever since her mother’s death five years ago, 16-year-old Penny has had a fascination with death, even opting for part time work at her mother’s old funeral home. Between the stresses of school, work and toxic friends, Penny could use a mother’s guidance. But she never believed anyone could return from the dead.
Then she begins hearing whispers in quiet rooms and seeing strange figures nobody else can see. And when she meets a mysterious boy named Stephen Campbell, she realizes he may provide the answers she seeks about the Gift she suspects she possesses — the Gift of necromancy.
With her newfound Gift — and Stephen’s help — Penny sets out to resurrect her mother. But her experience is limited and her patience thin, especially when an otherworldly encounter leads her to believe her mother’s death wasn’t the accident she thought. Now Penny must bring back and avenge her mother without harming Stephen — or herself.
An equal mix of romance and horror, Penny Dreadful will appeal to fans of Stephenie Meyer and Stephen King alike.

About Shadow & Blood
The world has been thrown into chaos. People have lost their families. They’ve lost their homes. They’ve lost everything they hold dear. And worst of all, no one is going to save them.
When a new, deadly variant of COVID-19 emerges, COVID-X, the world is unprepared for its devastating consequences. Families are torn apart as those infected descend into a frenzied state of rage, barbarity, and bloodlust.
The infected become known as Shadow Seekers, and for now, there is no cure. The Shadow Seekers are brutal, savage creatures of the night, devoid of humanity and slaughtering anyone they come across, even their loved ones.
Shadow & Blood follows two families on opposite sides of the globe, as the world descends into chaos and madness.
The Wu family live in a dilapidated, cramped building in the heart of the initial outbreak, the city of Wuhan. They must form a coalition with their neighbors to protect themselves from the Shadow Seekers which are appearing all around them.
The Campbell family lives in an affluent neighborhood of New Jersey where they experience a new reality of danger and horror. They must confront violent, bloodthirsty Shadow Seekers as they attempt to force their way into their home.
As the families fight for their lives, they must also face the grim reality of a world on the brink of collapse. Will they be able to overcome the dangers of the virus and the Shadow Seekers, or will they succumb to the darkness that threatens to engulf them?
Each chapter sees the world spiral more and more out of control with increasing levels of disorder, terror, and carnage. In the end few remain as the Shadow Seekers overrun the populations of many major cities, and whoever is left must do whatever they can to survive.
Will the world be able to stop the spread of this deadly virus before it’s too late? There is no end in sight, no light at the end of the tunnel, only heartbreak and ruin. Yet, humanity fights on and maintains hope, for now.
