Sinopsis

The worst part about falling from power isn't the descent. It's the haunting echoes of former glory that linger in the shadows.
 
Ava Black's reign as the Queen Bee of her high school came to an abrupt end six months ago. She used to rule the halls with an iron fist, mercilessly crushing her enemies and stomping on anyone who dared oppose her.
 
Now, amongst the peasants, she makes every effort to avoid her old friends, especially the new reigning queen Frankie who bullies her relentlessly.
 
Plagued by debilitating migraines that steal her strength and sometimes her sanity, Ava does all she can just to survive. A normal high school experience is a thing of the past... until Keira Richards appears and shows Ava she’s still worthy of friendship.
 
Their bond encourages Ava to break out of her shell and forget about the nightmares of robed figures, ancient battles, and the strange whispers of Thyana.
 
Enter Gabriel Matthews, the handsome loner, who brings it all back to the surface. He knows about her migraines, her dreams, and her past. With a string of dark and terrible events occurring around Ava, she is desperate for answers.
 
Will they be able to move past their differences to uncover the reason she sees cloaked creatures roaming their school?

    Three haunted young men. A terrible curse. One girl who could break it... if this place doesn't break her first. 
    From the first time my parents decided that getting their next hit mattered more than keeping me fed, I learned I couldn't trust anyone—until Cade. My foster brother took me under his wing and sheltered me from the worst of the crap thrown at us.  
    So when he heads off on an exclusive scholarship and everyone around me starts denying he ever existed, Roseborne College has some explaining to do. I'm not leaving until I get answers. 
    The school I barge into isn't what I pictured. The staff claim Cade's never been here. The students glare like just looking at me offends them. The classes involve more torment than teaching, while sobs and howls fill the night. And three very different, unnervingly appealing guys—one of them a teacher—act way too invested in my arrival. 
    Some unnatural power holds this place in its grip. The more I dig, the more horrors I uncover. Finding Cade might not be my biggest problem after all. It's looking like none of us, me included, will escape this place alive. 
    *Academy of the Forgotten is the first book in a gothic paranormal trilogy with shades of Beauty and the Beast. If you love snarky heroines, damaged heroes, dark secrets galore, and reverse harem romance, look no further! Just beware: Once you enter Roseborne College, there may be no coming back...*

    Living in a haunted house is going to be the death of me . . . Potentially literally. 
     
     
     
    In an attempt to cleanse whatever entity Trina and I let into my house after our bout with a Ouija board, things have only gotten worse. When the entity begins to sap Drake's strength, I realize I have to do something and that something needs to be done now . . . 
     
     
     
    While Drake does definitely drive me crazy with his pretentious airs, his womanizing ways and his jealousy, the idea of coming home to an empty house leaves me feeling . . . well, empty. Yes, it's true—I'm pretty fond of my ghostly Casanova. 
     
     
     
    Meanwhile, whatever this entity is, it's getting stronger and more aggressive. It appears to be mimicking the attacks of the Axeman, a murderer who terrorized New Orleans over one hundred years earlier. 
     
     
     
    And there's only so much Ryan can do to help me, considering he's corporeal. 
     
     
     
    When forced to make a decision to protect Drake, I'll face a consequence that could put my blossoming relationship with Ryan on hold . . . forever.

    New Weird Folk Horror intertwines with a troubled family history in the debut novella from Colin Hinckley! 
    Eddie's parents may be arguing about the disappearance of his infant brother Danny, but Eddie's facing a terror all of his own. There's a strange figure outside that claims it has Danny safe and sound—all Eddie needs to do to get his brother back is open that window.  
    Eddie's father is filled with guilt over his relationship with his own lost brother. His mother has been abandoned to navigate her grief and terror alone. And his grandmother carries a disturbing, all-too-relevant truth about their shared family history.  
    As minutes tick by and hope for Danny grows ever smaller, the very fabric of their world disintegrates, welcoming eldritch terrors of unspeakable provenance to their doorstep. The family is losing a decades- long struggle against an entity that is not of this world, and its hunger threatens to swallow them whole. 
    “Combine Shirley Jackson’s haunted claustrophobia, Stephen King’s nail-biting plots, and the cosmic otherworld-horror of Stranger Things, and you get one wholly original Colin Hinckley. Spend a few hours in [his] mind, and I guarantee you’ll be drawing the curtains tight for weeks.”GennaRose Nethercott, author of Thistlefoot 
    “The Black Lord brings to mind a low-lit tavern; you there with your drink, overhearing the hushed talk from a nearby table. Start this book at dusk, within view of a tree line. Feel something stare back. This is my first Hinckley, but it won’t be my last.” Scott J. Moses, author of Our Own Unique Affliction
