A Distance from Avalon: when the dying and the dead reunite by Mike Messier
Joe Humble, a middle school history teacher and a father of three, is in the middle of a painful divorce. Joe’s Halloween night becomes an adventure when his co-worker Shadow, a newly hired music teacher, invites him out for a night on the town.
Shadow leads them to a Castle with the door opened by the alluring Heartbreak, who in turn takes us to the master of the house, the mysterious, charming, and gothic Jean La Croix Distance.
While the ladies seem to find a common ground, the two gentlemen can’t help but challenge each other’s wit, intelligence, and world knowledge. Eventually, wine and conversation cool their tempers.
After a marvelous meal, an indecent proposal of a “no guarantees, no strings attached” partner swap for the rest of the evening leads the two mix-matched couples to share feelings of profound empathy and, eventually, spoils of the flesh that are later revealed to be mere tools for manipulation and indoctrination.
Would it be too much to share that there is more to our hosts than what at first seems?
As Jean and Heartbreak’s motivations are revealed, Joe must choose whether to make this odd yet fascinating place his new home or to somehow find a Distance from Avalon.

About Toothless By Theodore Thomas
Release Date: August 15, 2022!!
“Hey, we got a problem,” Bezaria said quietly as she looked at her companions. “There’s a security guard here. –He just tried to kick me out.”
“Do you know about the spirit?” Albrecht responded quickly and quietly, unconcerned with Bezaria’s problem. “Can you see the spirit, too?”
“Yes, I can see the spirit,” Bez snapped, standing up and pointing toward the apparition. She was perturbed by Albrecht’s lack of concern for the corporeal problem at hand. “It’s right over there. I don’t know what it’s doing there, but that’s not….”
Bezaria’s voice trailed as she froze in place—the spirit shifted, then turned to face her. Words locked in her throat and muscles locked in her arm, leaving her motionless, still pointing at the ghost. The ghost tilted its head back, and the long black hair parted to reveal a pair of dark, eyeless sockets. It raised an extended arm and pointed back at Bezaria with a long, cold, bony finger. Its mouth opened wide and emitted a moan that was felt more than heard—like a cold breeze without wind; a shrill howl in the mind.
“Oh, no,” Bezaria said as she regained control of her voice. “Guys, I think it sees me.”
More muscles steadily unfroze, and the Magi slowly stepped backward. “I think I’m in trouble.”

About Gate of Betrayal
Through the ages, the knowledge of the Hell Gates faded from human memory, thus their very existence was never captured by the written word. For eternity, the one purpose of the Dragon Guardians was to guard these Gates so that no fallen angel could escape. Time had destroyed the Dragons’ physical form and disintegrated into pure celestial energy. Myths and legends captured only a minuscule ounce of truth about these creatures’ essence. Three souls, knowingly and unknowingly, attempt to free themselves from their own self-imposed prison. One tormented by a pact for love. One tormented by the love for her family and its obligation. One tormented by the love for himself and avoidance to take a risk in his life. Their battle to free themselves depends on whether they choose to open, keep closed, or ignore the Hell Gate. Deep below the heart of San Francisco, concealed under an old grocery store, one of the Hell Gates remained silent since 1906 when, at that time, it opened and the fallen angel, Samael, momentarily escaped; destroying much of the city buildings with an earthquake and fire. Survivors described a fiery fiend moving throughout the city burning all in its path. Most accepted it figuratively, but was it? Over a hundred years later, we will find out the truth. So, in the spirit of any cheesy horror story, WHAT IF Hell, today, went shopping for virgin blood in San Francisco…how hard could that be?

About Before the Cure by Deirdre Gould
In Neil’s mind it started with the man in the park. Or, more specifically, with the vicious bite the man had given Neil. He was wrong about that. The December Plague had started weeks earlier, though no one knew it.
The early symptoms were so mild that almost no one noticed them. A scratchy throat. A feeling of lethargy that you just can’t shake. But then the slurring started. And an intense irritability. Finally, an irresistible urge to bite and consume accompanying an uncontrollable rage.
The Infected cannot be reasoned with and there is no known cure. They cannot recognize even their closest friends. Anything that attracts their notice risks being torn apart, including one another. Quarantined in a desperate attempt to contain the December Plague, the patients and staff of Wing Memorial hospital are left to fend for themselves. When the small security force sent to aid them are wiped out, the Infected run loose in the halls and Neil is trapped inside with them. Even worse is the knowledge that containment has failed and the outside world has no idea what’s coming.
