  Meet Samantha Beck and Rebecca Nisha—two women born twenty-five years and hundreds of miles apart, yet joined together by a shocking family ritual. When Samantha discovers the remains of an ancient tribe in Pennsylvania, she expects to at last prove her grandmother’s Native American ancestry and to make a name for herself as a budding archaeologist. She does not expect to make an enemy and a lover of a fellow descendant—son of Rebecca Nisha—who unwittingly wears a necklace made of his dead mother’s bones. As the novel unfolds, alternating between Samantha’s story and Rebecca’s twenty-five years before, Samantha becomes more and more determined to discover the devastating mystery that estranged Rebecca’s wealthy Pennsylvania Dutch father from her half-Native American son. Samantha gradually uncovers a troubling secret and decides to risk everything—love and career—to restore harmony to Rebecca’s family.

  Everyone has a final secret. I collect them. 
  My patients aren’t on my ward just to die - they’re here to confess.  
  Before the body bag, there’s a final reckoning. Murderers. Serial Killers. Monsters in human skin. They tell me their truths because I don’t flinch - and because I’ve made a deal with death.  
  These are the confessions no one gets to hear. These are the behind-the-scenes confessions that don’t make it into the Asylum Confession books, the ones I hear but wasn’t sure I’d share.  
  Well, now I am.  
  And you get to hear them. One confession at a time. 
  Welcome to Only Jack Knows.What to expect: 
  You ever meet someone who seemed… normal? 
  Yeah, Madison was that guy. 
  Tall, polite, a little nerdy—but there was something off behind his eyes. 
  I didn’t see it at first. None of us did. 
  Until he snapped. 
  In this episode, I take you inside an unsettling confession about love, loss, and what a man will do when grief turns to rage. 
  This one doesn’t come with a trigger warning. 
  Because by the time you realize what he did… it’s already too late.

  "Get out of my hair boy," Blake snapped at his son Lance who was dress similarly in blue. 
  "You'd think you didn't love me," said his son sarcastically. 
  "Not now I'm on a case Enchanter," Blake then said accusingly "The Necromancer Murdered another person." 
  "Oh, that is terrible! Did I know them?" Lance asked. 
  The Necromancer goes to Jail 
  "I hear you could break out of jail if you wanted to," said the guard. 
  "Yes it's easy but where's the fun in that," said Lance smiling impishly. 
  "What fun can you have in jail?" asked the Kingpin. 
  "Not been here long enough for it to be a bore yet," Lance said who was having fun messing with their minds.

  Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In this volume Horror and its evil intents try to burrow into our heads and cavort around as only demons, monsters, phantoms and ghosts can do.  They probably have other partners and friends too.  And you, sitting there all alone, and listening….. oh dear.

  Undead The: Part 27 - Winchester

  The 27th installment in the UK's Bestselling Horror Series. When a deadly infection spreads across Europe, supermarket manager Howie’s ordinary life is thrown into chaos. As the world crumbles around him, he teams up with his autistic best mate, Dave and a ragtag group of misfits to face an enemy unlike any other—the undead. But this isn’t just any infection. It evolves. It learns. And it’s getting smarter every day. Howie soon learns that nothing is quite what it seems - and neither is he. 
   
  With fast-paced, blistering action, The Undead series follows Howie and Dave and their unlikely friends as they become the only hope for humanity pitted in a race against time to stop the infection before it becomes clevererer than them. Which honestly wouldn't be that hard. 
   
  The Undead has grown to become an iconic British series, redefining zombie horror with rich, unparalleled characterisation—seldom seen outside of literary fiction. But The Undead becomes far more than a zombie story. This is a tale of loyalty and friendship, of how we bond and how far we will go for the people we love. Its catchphrases have become part of everyday language for its readers, and its razor-sharp humour reflects the stupidity and greed of humanity, while still offering hope that we can rise above and do the right thing.
