Speed Dating with the DeadAuthor: Nicholson, Scott |
|
|
A man’s promise to channel his dead wife goes haywire when he stirs up demons at a paranormal conference — a place where even angels can’t be trusted. Digger Wilson and his Spirit Seekers International paranormal investigation team host a conference at the White Horse Inn, the most haunted hotel in the Appalachian Mountains. Digger drags his gear and his imaginative teen-aged daughter to the hotel where the girl was conceived 16 years earlier — and Digger and his wife made a morbid pact. But keeping the pact isn’t easy when demons view the paranormal conference as a personal playground, and restless spirits aren’t what they appear — or don’t appear — to be. From the author of The Red Church, The Skull Ring, and Drummer Boy, and inspired by an actual paranormal conference Nicholson hosted in 2008. Another Summary: A man’s promise to his late wife that he’d summon her spirit . . . A daughter whose imagination goes to dark places . . . And demonic evil lurking in the remote hotel’s basement, just waiting to be awoken. When Digger Wilson brings his paranormal team Spirit Seekers International to the White Horse Inn, he is skeptical that his dead wife will keep her half of the bargain. He doesn’t believe in ghosts. But when one of the conference guests channels a mysterious presence and an Ouija board spells out a pet phrase known only to Digger and his wife, his convictions are challenged. And when guests start to disappear, Digger and his daughter Kendra must face the circle of demons that view the hotel as their personal playground. Because soon the inn will be closing for good, angels can’t be trusted, and demons don’t like to play alone . . . |

|
|
When a father loses his son and his wife leaves him, he cannot tear himself away from the small fishing village where the boy’s memories reside. They’re all he has left. Thinking that his life is all but over, he takes to wandering the cliffs, carrying broken things that he always promised his son he would fix, but never did. They’re a sign of his failure, and they keep little Toby close. And then he meets the thief of broken toys, and everything begins to change. |

Ash WednesdayAuthor: Williamson, Chet |
|
|
Nominated for the 1987 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Novel In Merridale, semi-transparent blue apparitions have appeared. These aren’t ghosts, exactly. They are visions of the dead in their final moments — the last seconds of their lives portrayed for all to see. They don’t move, and they don’t speak. Ash Wednesday is a thoughtful horror story about what happens to people when they are forced to gaze into the face of death and, specifically, the face of their own personal dead: their friends and family, those they believed to be dead and gone. Murders are revealed, rapes and other crimes. People despair, and try to create new lives out of the wreckage. Two of these are Bradley Meyers, a vet already driven half-crazy by his experiences in Vietnam, confronted by the sight of his dead son, and now barely capable of containing his rage, and Jim Callender, whose son has died in the same accident, for which he is partly responsible. As Callender sinks into guilt, Meyers moves toward murder. Author’s Note: |

Apocalypse GreenAuthor: Knight, Brian |
|
|
KG 200 was a secret, specialized branch of the German Luftwaffe formed before World War 2 for espionage and reconnaissance. Though most of the documents detailing their most secret missions were destroyed before allied powers could seize them, some did survive. One of these missions, code named Apocalypse, was the first known attempt at advanced biological warfare on humans. Though the records of Apocalypse are incomplete, the evidence confirms the horrific effects that Apocalypse had on one small farming village in Poland. Only now, decades later, is the evidence being released to the public. |

A Book of TonguesAuthor: Files, Gemma |
|
|
Two years after the Civil War, Pinkerton agent Ed Morrow has gone undercover with one of the weird West’s most dangerous outlaw gangs — the troop led by “Reverend” Asher Rook, ex-Confederate chaplain turned “hexslinger,” and his notorious lieutenant (and lover) Chess Pargeter. Morrow’s task: get close enough to map the extent of Rook’s power, then bring that knowledge back to help Professor Joachim Asbury unlock the secrets of magic itself. Magicians, cursed by their gift to a solitary and painful existence, have never been more than a footnote in history. But Rook, driven by desperation, has a plan to shatter the natural law that prevents hexes from cooperation, and change the face of the world — a plan sealed by an unholy marriage — oath with the goddess Ixchel, mother of all hanged men. To accomplish this, he must raise her bloodthirsty pantheon from its collective grave through sacrifice, destruction, and apotheosis. Caught between a passel of dead gods and monsters, hexes galore, Rook’s witchery, and the ruthless calculations of his own masters, Morrow’s only real hope of survival lies with the man without whom Rook cannot succeed: Chess Pargeter himself. But Morrow and Chess will have to literally ride through Hell before the truth of Chess’s fate comes clear — the doom written for him, and the entire world. |

PrimitiveAuthor: Gonzalez, J. F. |
|
|
It began as just another day for David Spires and his wife Tracy: coffee, breakfast, and getting the kids ready for school. Then the bottom dropped out of civilization. The world ends not with a bang or a whimper, but with a dizzying downward spiral. Instead of the rat race of commuters scurrying to beat the clock, humans are now packs of animals reduced to snarling primitives. David, Tracy and their daughter Emily, along with fellow survivors, leave Los Angeles for the safety of the country where fewer people means fewer primitives. But as they venture farther away from the city, they realize an unnatural force is at work. Civilization didn’t just fall apart . . . it was overtaken by an ancient evil that was present before the first cave paintings. Human history has no formal record of it, but the dark presence that’s fueled nightmares since time began has crept out of the shadows . . . and its influence is growing. |

|

Bad Day: Paul Hughes had a really bad day. He lost his job, his wife and then after getting bit by a bug . . . his life. Compared to what happens to his neighbors after the Luna Roaches come to town, his day wasn’t so bad at all. At least he died. . . . Eardrum Buzz: Wes couldn’t get enough of the music of Eardrum Buzz’s first disc, Misery Machine; the drone of their guitars was hypnotizing. But when he is brought into the band’s inner circle to join The Swarm, he soon has the music within him. Terrifyingly deep within him. . . . Violet Lagoon: When a quartet of co-eds decide to reenact The Blue Lagoon on an abandoned Florida Key, they find more than just sex and sand is on the agenda. Stings turn out to play a part in their weekend as well. Lots and lots of stings. But those were just the beginning of the pain. . . . Table of Contents:

Tales of the Fallen Book 1: AwakeningsAuthor: Barnett, David G. |
|
|
David G. Barnett offers up the beginning of what will hopefully be a long series of novellas and shorts centered around the battle for heaven. These first three tales are fast-paced, funny, raunchy and poignant. Barnett’s world comes to life with horribly flawed characters that you will like or hate, but won’t forget, abominable creatures and visions of Heaven and Hell that will begin to pave the way for more tales to come. Of Angels Fallen They rescued him from the streets and with their help he has become the world’s greatest assassin. So much death, so much blood, but it all ends after this one final job. Just one more death and Mal will finally get what was promised him so many, many years ago. Jonas White is a powerful man, an empire builder. He commands adoration and respect from everyone who meets him. He is a good man, does good things. But now he’s also a marked man. He knows destiny is banging on the door. What will happen when he opens it? Two men fated to meet each other on one cataclysmic evening. An evening when secrets will be revealed, loyalties will be tested, old grudges settled and new ones made. This is just one stop along a long road. A road that leads back to where it all began so very long ago. Daddy Demon’s Day Out He wanted revenge for an atrocity committed so many years ago. Back when his world collapsed around him with a single knock on his door. But that was then and this is now and revenge is at hand. Years of planning, years of blasphemous dealings and terrible actions have led to this moment. He has worked for decades to be able to summon the demon of revenge and now he’s ready. Tonight he will demand the demon grant his one wish and all this will finally be over. But Travis Burnsfield will soon find out that the demon of revenge has other plans for the evening. Plans that involve Starbucks, cheese steaks and a trip to the infamous Painfreak where many creatures go, all with very different hungers. Some with hungers that can be sated by the sorrow of a tired old man who only wants revenge for something taken from him so very long ago. Sleeper Angels Awaken The old man hadn’t been here in . . . . Well, he couldn’t really remember. But what he did know was that it had changed. Changed so much. His heart was heavy at seeing the destruction and knowing what it all meant. But he didn’t have time to mourn. No, he had to move on. He had placed them here so long ago, but over time he grew careless and forgot to keep track of them. But the time has come for him to track them all down. Things had changed and now he needed their help. It was time to seek out the others and awaken them . . . awaken his army. He only hoped they wanted to be awakened and wanted to help him. It would take some time. But after all, time was all he had right now. |
