'Tis the season to be haunting
An unexpected and unwelcome voice on the world's first radio broadcast in 1908. A son who won't stop messaging his family on Facebook, although he's been dead for quite some time now. A frozen forest in a far north land where the sinister elf-kin lurk in the snow.
A Scottish island where the locals make very sure their old folk don't go hungry through the long winter.
Over the past two decades Adam Macqueen has sent a Haunted Tale to his family in place of a Christmas card. A collection in the grand tradition of ghost stories – to be read by the fire in the depths of winter – it proves that terror lurks in many places, and the dead take on infinite guises . . .

    Alone at a remote cabin in the woods . . . attacked by a mysterious force that won't let him leave . . . but how can he fight an enemy that he can't even see? 
     
     
     
    Matt Kearns just needed to get away from it all—to grieve for his father and let the rugged wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula renew him, like it always had. But from the moment he arrives, nothing feels right. Strange happenings shake his confidence and have him questioning his sanity. Even the animals seem to know something is amiss. But each time he tries to leave, something—something truly malicious—violently pulls him back. What could it be? Why him? And what will he have to do to escape with his life? 
     
       
     
    Michael Hodges's debut supernatural thriller delivers visceral, edge-of-your-seat suspense as one resourceful man desperately fights for his life against a force more savage and relentless than anything the locals here have ever seen.

    Caroline 
    I’m back in my hometown but not for a friendly visit. The Mafia has set their sights on my uncle’s bakery, and now he’s gone missing. 
    I will do whatever it takes to find my uncle and ensure the bakery never ends up under their control. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it… if I stay focused. 
    That proves difficult with someone like Raf around… 
    Raf 
    The time to make a move on Irish territory is now, but there are two distinct barriers in my way: a bakery and the beautiful woman who won’t let it go. 
    When she’s attacked, I can’t just stand by and watch. I must protect her, even if doing so puts me at odds with the Irish and leads to more trouble. 
    Falling in love with Caroline isn’t part of the plan, but I’m sure it will be worth it.
