The Saint and the Shadowman

A. B. Finlayson

Summary

Arthur Crazy is hungover, but the dead don't care about headaches.


The city of York is teetering on the edge of disaster. During a rare eclipse, the Shadowman casts a spell atop the Minster, trapping the city between the realm of the living and the dead. Ghosts flood the streets, and Arthur, with his best friend Steve, is the only one who can stop the chaos.


But Arthur's not exactly in hero shape. Haunted by his past and drowning his sorrows in the nearest pint, he's barely keeping it together. That is, until he meets Nae—a beautiful stranger who might just hold the key to helping him feel normal again.


Now, with the Shadowman's spell tearing the veil between worlds, the city's only hope rests on a washed-up hero, a saint from the Shambles, and a dog who won't stop talking. York needs a miracle. Arthur needs another drink.


Or maybe a Panadol and a panini

The Little Season

S.C. Mendes

“What in the world did I just read?!” - Sarah McCarthy, Netgalley
Hungry for a disturbing mystery?
The Little Season is part splatterpunk, part horror thriller, and totally bizarre!
Talons is a new restaurant looking for food tasters, and Jordan Carter jumped at the chance to join the focus group.
However, the qualifying questions embarrassed him. The first appetizer was a stale piece of bread. And worst of all, Jordan felt sick after the meal.
When Talons offers him double the money for a second tasting, he agrees and shrugs off the illness as a coincidence.
After the second meal, though, he’s convinced something is wrong. Daily nightmares and concerning voices culminate in Jordan vomiting blood. Doctors can find nothing physically wrong with him, and medical tests determine the blood isn’t even his.
Feeling scared and alone, Jordan dives into a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, astrology, crystal healing, secret societies, and new-age "science to unravel Talon's ancient secret.
Warning: If you can get past the first chapter, you're gonna have a good time
Early reviews
"S.C. Mendes can write the most disgusting horror, but has great characters that always remind you tomorrow is never a guarantee, but there is hope." - Dorie Koch, Netgalley
“At first I was like… I don’t think that this will be for me, I just didn’t vibe with it. But the more I read the more I couldn’t put it down, and when I read the last page I was like WHAT!!! I wanted more to the story! Fast paced, short little novel that you will either love or hate.” - Haley Carter, Netgalley
“I love the artwork throughout this book. It's a fun splatterpunk read for people who like other writers in the splatterpunk/ extreme horror genre like Nikki Noir.” - Destini Doss, Netgalley
