Restoration by Sharon Mikeworth

Bronze Award winner for the 2021–2022 Reader Views Literary Awards in horror

Recipient of the Readers’ Favorite 5-Star seal for excellence

Cliff Phillips’ wife walks out on him for another man, leaving him devastated, and he retreats to a cabin deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The natural seclusion is exactly what he needs, and he settles in for a month-long stay, soothed by the unspoiled beauty of his surroundings.

But his peace is short lived. Out paddling the lake in the center of the historic park, he is nearly capsized by a mysterious disturbance. Soon after, a neighboring lodger flees following a terrifying night and another one vanishes without taking any of his belongings. When Cliff spots a strange light beneath the surface, he begins to think there might be more in the water than a few fish.

His worst fears are confirmed when he has his own frightening encounter. But how will he ever get anyone to believe what he now strongly suspects: that there is something hiding in the lake’s murky depths?

Sharon Mikeworth’s latest novel, Restoration, is a new addition to the great wilderness horror tradition of Jack Ketchum, Adam Nevill, Scott Smith, and Dan Simmons.

The bizarre death of an ordinary family man catches the attention of detectives Jorge Cabrera and Elise Alvaro.

With her bubbly personality, Darling welcomes the two detectives into her home and fixes them a cup of coffee with a side of her delicious homemade cinnamon buns.

The Satanic Chapel by Bob Price

The Satanic Chapel by Bob Price

The Devil does not discriminate. Skin colour or religion. A soul is a soul and he wants them all.
Believing yourself to be in a position to control the Devil has been the ambition of many Satanists over the centuries. None has yet proven successful because the Devil has his own agenda and knows exactly what people are about. Yet even in the twenty first century they continue to try ignoring the failures of the past at their own peril.
Members of The Satanic Chapel had reached a point of self-confidence when they too felt ready to take the next step. An invitation to the Devil himself to visit and help them rule the world of humans. It was an ambitious plan that was years in the making and now it was finally ready and wheels within wheels were moving to make it a reality.
When odd things happen different police units are employed to investigate. After authority figures were reported missing a standard investigation unit became employed to find them. A less than standard unit called Irregular Missing Persons (IMP) also received instructions to investigate. Few outside IMP had even heard of them and so it was that the lead officer Superintendent Frank Marshal encountered Superintendent Betty Buick from IMP for the first time.
Buick’s instructions to take a purely advisory role during the investigation led by Marshal her counterpart was less than ideal, but with a new boss who appeared to detest the very thought of IMP:she was constrained to play tag, something she never did that well.
If, as Buick thought, that the supernatural was somehow involved she determined it wouldn’t be long before IMP was called upon to do more than simply advise. She wasn’t wrong.

Overall, the story had me wanting to find out what happened next, though I had part of it figured halfway though. It gave me an “American Horror Story” vibe, especially Murder House and Hotel. – Goodreads Review

This is a great read. Yes, it is cited in a factory building at which buttons were manufactured for many years before it was converted condo.
Thanks for a pleasant afternoon read – Goodreads Review

Mother Knew Best by T.M. Drykken

About Mother Knew Best by T.M. Drykken

For millennia, mothers have adopted a language all of their own, often misunderstood by their parental counterparts, but translations made clear and direct to their wide-eyed urchins. They have a way of making their points with alarming precision, simple sentence shockers. From the threatening to the sarcastic to the logical, our mothers have created an idiom compendium rivaling those from Oxford or the ancient scholars of biblical times.

This unsettling collection shares but a few of these phrases along with the inherent consequences of not taking them to heart as children and passing them off as just “things mama said.” When the figurative becomes reality, the nightmares become alive and the illogical reigns. From a pestering angel to an ill-tempered businessman to an unrelenting and injurious storm, one would be wise to listen with eyes, ears, and mind wide open to what is occurring…because more often than not…mother knew best.

Stories Included:
ANGEL ON MY BACK
PICKING UP A BAD CENT
THE MUDDLING
HISS AND SPLATTER
RUMP ROAST
MAINTENANCE MAN
GLACIAL FEATURES

This horrifying short story collection also includes the first chapter excerpt from T.M. Drykken’s upcoming novel, The Anger.
