My Pregnancy Guide: Ensuring a Healthy Pregnancy & Labour By Attilio D’Alberto

About My Pregnancy Guide: Ensuring a Healthy Pregnancy & Labour By Attilio D’Alberto

My Pregnancy Guide is based on my 20 years clinical experience in helping women during pregnancy and the latest scientific evidence sourced from over 750 research studies. This self-help guide blends modern fact-based research together with the ancient theories of Chinese medicine to deliver a powerful and concise understanding of pregnancy and labour.

My Pregnancy Guide explains what to expect in pregnancy, problems you may experience and what to do about them, the impact of COVID-19, an optimal pregnancy diet, supplements to take, pregnancy for dads and how to reduce your baby’s chances to developing autism.

It explains what tests you can have and the various dangers to your baby and how to avoid them, from chemicals in the environment, in foods, cosmetics and household products to pollution, plastics, heavy metals and pharmaceutical drugs.

Advice is given on how to minimise your baby miscarrying or developing any abnormalities and how you can enhance your health for optimal breast-milk production and post labour health.

In-depth explanations are given on how to optimise your lifestyle from exercising, work, sleep to clothing, footwear and even baths versus showers all based on the latest cutting-edge research together with the tried and tested theories of Chinese medicine.

Week by week explanations on how your baby is growing is given along with advice on how to enhance your baby’s development. A large range of supplements are listed to improve mother and baby’s health.

Based on the latest scientific research, My Pregnancy Guide also explains how to deal with various pregnancy problems that may develop from gestational diabetes, preeclampsia to constipation and slow baby growth.

Explanations are given on the stages of labour and how to prepare for each step. Fact-based research is given advising on going over 40 weeks and how to prepare for labour, treat a breech baby, pain relief options and acupressure points to encourage labour and a reduction in labour pain. A large range of natural herbs are given to help reduce miscarriage and aid labour.

Dr (TCM) Attilio D’Alberto has been supporting women in pregnancy and labour since 2004, from those who fell pregnant naturally to those that conceived with IVF. This book is a treasure-trove of information that is invaluable to all women who are pregnant.

”I safely delivered a baby boy. I defiantly feel he helped to reduce the pain too, as I felt ready to give birth all over again the next day”-Dr (TCM) Attilio D’Alberto – Bachelor of Medicine (Beijing), BSc (Hons) TCM

A Coward Writes of Death: And Other Short Stories

About A Coward Writes of Death: And Other Short Stories

Sixteen macabre stories. One anonymous writer. Your infinite wish for more…

Two things I know to be true: Life is short & death is imminent. Read some short horror stories and save your precious time. From vicious serial killers to bizarre slug encounters, this book has it all. Each story is headed by a poem, and for your wellbeing, it is best you read this one first, and get a taste of what I have to offer:

A Brief Introduction
To whom it may concern,
or perhaps to whom might pick up these brief stories,
I humbly share what’s inside my head,
or perhaps what has been,
or perhaps what will be.

As an emphatic gesture
for the reader’s sake,
it is with great sorrow that I shake
the trickster vesture
of a fact long forgotten:

Death is not a virtuous planner.
It cares not for ambitions, plots, or dreams.
Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries – it knows no such things.

When the clock strikes fifteen past your expiration date,
it slithers down your throat,
scales up your limb,
punctures through your chest.

A fatal drink,
a vengeful creature,
or a piercing blade,
are all supplied in the most unfortunate of times.

So if you find yourself in a bash,
or in such an awful spot,
remember, my dear friend,

Death cares not.

Slippery When Wet’s Classic Fairy Tales of Murder and Mayhem

About Slippery When Wet’s Classic Fairy Tales of Murder and Mayhem

Most of the hardcore classic fairytales were written by men for an adult audience and never intended for children.
These retellings of the original disturbing works takes them back to the frightful tales they were meant to be and more.
Bluebeard’s naïve bride is only a cover for his truly brutal fetishes. Rapunzel is the unbalanced spawn of an opium-addicted mother. The Wolf is the least of Red Riding Hood’s problems. Meet Sleeping Beauty’s twin henchman sons. A product of incest when her own half brother comes upon her helplessly passed out in a coma and takes advantage. Discover the real price Rumpelstiltskin charges for spinning straw into gold. If you enjoy dark humor with your incest, torture, cannibalism, dismemberment, and other medieval pastimes you’ve come to the right place. These are extremely gruesome adult retellings of classic fairy tales more than just fractured. These stories are deeply dark with twisted sexual encounters and the women in these fairy tales are not the tenderhearted pushovers as in modern-day fairy tales. So come down to the dungeon, settle onto your Judas cradles and break out your heretic forks. A delectable feast for true horror fairy tale fans. Each story and many characters are tied together all into one dysfunctional kingdom with a viciously abusive king and many murderous, lascivious and just plain monstrously evil people. This book includes Bluebeard, Rumpelstiltskin, Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel and more. A wicked read

The Darkness: Giger, Texas by Joe M. Solomon

The Darkness: Giger, Texas by Joe M. Solomon

When night falls in Giger, Texas, shadows gather as they always do in dim corners and other areas bereft of light. But this time they consolidate and attack any who tread too close. Michael Warren, a twenty-four-year-old resident of Giger, finds himself at the epicenter of this horror and is stunned by the losses suffered overnight. Then the sun sets and the shadows again coalesce, growing more aggressive, the darkness eviscerating anyone it touches.

His only weapon light, Michael struggles to survive and searches frantically for his girlfriend, aiding friends along the way. When Hurricane Daniel roars ashore, wind gusts shred trees and tear down power lines, plunging all of Southeastern Texas into a blackness that only feeds and strengthens the encroaching darkness. Rising floodwater provides easy thoroughfares from which the darkness can strike as Michael and his friends contend with the elements, clash with criminals, and battle their way to his residence where they will stand against the darkness and fight to survive.

Gate of Betrayal

About Gate of Betrayal

2nd Book in the Hell Gates Series – JUST RELEASED
Freed from torment, Alan and Grace have spent the last year together exploring the wonders of the world up and down the West Coast. Away from their lifelong self-imposed prisons while working at Tony’s Food Mart in San Francisco, they develop a deep emotional and physical bond with each other, alleviating the loneliness and mistrust they have known for so many years.
A year later, their bond is threatened by a shadow stalking them as they deal with one’s denial to share the truth and the other’s passiveness to pursue it. A tiny absence of information festers, deflecting them from reality, evolving into lies and ultimately death by disloyalty.
In their life’s pursuits, free from the Hell Gates, Alan and Grace inadvertently find themselves forced into preventing another Gate from opening. New enemies and allies form as betrayal internally gnaws at everyone’s soul, generating love, hate, and misaligned loyalties. It’s the perfect condition for the Gate of Betrayal to release another fallen angel upon Salt Lake City and the world.

The Concrete Veldt

About The Concrete Veldt

From The Concrete Veldt:

I finished my rows and took out my Bick; followed his gaze.

“Looks pretty quiet,” I said.

“Yeah.” He readied his lighter. “But we can fix that.”

And we started flicking; lighting up the rows with grim precision, setting off a hail of sparks and hisses, retreating into the grass as first one then another then another piffed and launched—screaming into the air; whistling toward the target, exploding like grenades on its roof and in the bushes. Turning the suburban street into a warzone.

Laughing and carrying on as the carnage unfolded and at last subsided; the smoke drifting, the embers settling. Patting ourselves on our scrawny backs for another mission accomplished; even as shots rang out and something whizzed past—a blunt thing, a humorless thing. Something which struck a granite tombstone deeper in the cemetery and punched a dollar-sized crater in it.

And then we were scrambling: crawling as fast as we could—double-timing it toward the car as still more shots rang out and echoed along the streets; as bullets pocked the mausoleum and cut the air like knives. Until we reached the Charger and leapt to our feet, throwing open the doors—even as raptors gathered and encircled the car—at which I lit a string of M-80s and threw them into the group; and the fireworks exploded like dynamite, reverberated like shotgun blasts. At which the animals scattered in perfect unison and we peeled from the lot—en route to the Nunnery, I suppose. En route to Alexa.

En route to the last shag of our lives.

When Alice’s husband disappears while investigating a series of strange and terrible incidents in the bustling seaport of Salem, she is forced to bring her young daughter, Abigail, along from Boston while she takes up the search. But she soon learns of a terrible curse that has the entire town bracing for nightfall: one hundred years after the infamous witch trials, the vengeful spirit of a woman hanged for witchcraft will rise from hell to claim the souls of Salem’s children.

Desperate to find her daughter before the sun rises and she is lost forever, Alice races against time on a spine-chilling adventure that takes her from forgotten dungeons and gloomy cemeteries to the haunted forests of Gallows Hill. Along with a roguish sailor searching for his own missing child, she battles deadly supernatural forces and uncovers a dark secret that may be the key to saving Abigail’s soul… if only she can survive the most terrifying night of her life.

Suspenseful, thrilling, and dripping with atmospshere, All Hallows Eve is a spine-tingling treat for fans of Darcy Coates, Amy Cross, Robert McCammon, and anyone who enjoys having their skin crawl with every turn of the page.

Hail of Brimstone: A Kit Barker Novel by J.R. White

“Forget your prize! Forget your friend! He is a husk, bled dry on the sands. He has been torn by what lingers, torn like they tear all who seek their secrets! Torn like they tore me!”
In the wilderness of the newborn nation of Mexico, a demonic gunman attacks a wedding, turning a day of joy into a massacre and wiping the mission of Nuestra Señora de la Sangre from the map.

Can Barker defend his soul against the devils and demons of his own mind? Can mere men resist the thing that hunts them from beyond the Hail of Brimstone?
From the author of SHADOW OF WOLVES, a new action-packed tale of horror in the Wild West!

Dusks and Dawns by S. S. Ralph

About Dusks and Dawns by S. S. Ralph

A bizarre mashup of horror, science fiction, and dark comedy.

Jacob Miller, a teenager who has lived in the isolated and deeply religious community of New Hope all his life, never believed the old stories about how the devil and his demons would invade their town and carry away souls. Only a few surviving elders could claim to have witnessed these horrors first-hand two generations ago, yet nobody knows for sure what lies beyond the boundaries of New Hope. Everyone who has ever wandered beyond its limits was either never seen again or returned, frightened to death, and claiming they’d seen the eyes of the devil himself watching over them from a darkened sky.

Over the generations, the once-pious population has become complacent, and it turns out that the old stories Jacob refused to believe are all too true. Hell is actually a thriving civilization with advanced technology that evolved from an ancient satanic and sadistic culture—with a hidden, and dark, connection to New Hope. With New Hope’s sins mounting—from Jacob’s elicit love outside his arranged marriage to a local pervert who peeps on women and fantasizes about abduction and murder —the next Reaping of Souls is imminent, and the citizens of New Hope will witness the true price of their transgressions.

The Midnight Country

About The Midnight Country

In retrospect, I wish I’d continued recording, for what I saw in that instant is difficult to describe, even now. Suffice it to say that it had a body like that of a manta ray—upon who’s tail the balloonist had been impaled—or a manta ray combined with a bat, albeit huge, and that it was covered with a kind of camouflage which reminded me of pictures I’d seen of Jupiter—just a roil of purples and pinks and browns. I suppose that was when it first hit me: the possibility that there might be a connection between this thing and the Jupiter 6 probe. That the probe might have brought something back, even if it had just been a sprinkling of microbes on its surface.

And then there was an explosion somewhere above us, the concussion of which rocked our balloon, and we all looked up to see Gas Monkey—my God, it was like the sun!—on fire; and yet that wasn’t all we saw, for as it dropped it became evident that there were more of the bat/manta ray things attached, suckling it as it fell, crawling upon it like flies. Then it passed us like some kind of great meteor—its occupants shrieking and calling out—and was gone below, the heat of it still painting our faces, its awful smell, which was the smell of rotten eggs, filling our nostrils.

And then we were just drifting, all of us crouched low in the basket … and the only sounds were those of Karen sobbing and my own pounding heart.
