Sinopse

To help a child’s ghost solve the mystery of her death, a cemetery restorer must face her own personal demons in this romantic urban fantasy. 
 
My name is Amelia Gray, and I’m a cemetery restorer who lives with the dead. An anonymous donor has hired me to restore Woodbine Cemetery, a place where the rich and powerful bury their secrets. Forty years ago, a child disappeared without a trace and now her ghost has awakened, demanding that I uncover the truth about her death. Only I know that she was murdered. Only I can bring her killer to justice. But the clues that I follow—a haunting melody and an unnamed baby’s grave—lead me to a series of disturbing suspects. 
 
For generations, The Devlins have been members of Charleston’s elite. John Devlin once turned his back on the expectations that came with his birthright, but now he has seemingly accepted his rightful place. His family’s secrets make him a questionable ally. When my investigation brings me to the gates of his family’s palatial home, I have to wonder if he is about to become my mortal enemy.

    There he meets Sidney Blount—cold, sophisticated, and Dominant—who’s at the same house to appraise the family art. It doesn’t take Sidney long to appraise Ryan too, and decide exactly what Ryan needs.   
    Which just so happens to be the one thing Sidney wants to give…

    A "genuinely scary" horror debut written in "prose so beautiful you won't want to rush" about a boy who transforms into a monster, a monster who tries to be a man, and the people who love him in every form he takes (Ana Reyes) 
     
       
     
    Grieving mother Magos cuts out a piece of her deceased eleven-year-old son Santiago's lung. Acting on fierce maternal instinct and the dubious logic of an old folktale, she nurtures the lung until it gains sentience, growing into the carnivorous little Monstrilio she keeps hidden within the walls of her family's decaying Mexico City estate. Eventually, Monstrilio begins to resemble the Santiago he once was, but his innate impulses—though curbed by his biological and chosen family's communal care—threaten to destroy this fragile second chance at life. 
     
      
     
    A thought-provoking meditation on grief, acceptance, and the monstrous sides of love and loyalty, Gerardo Sámano Córdova blends bold imagination and evocative prose with deep emotional rigor. Told in four acts that span the globe from Brooklyn to Berlin, Monstrilio offers, with uncanny clarity, a cathartic and precise portrait of being human.

    Sasha offers them a deal: three sacrifices in three days, leaving them with two choices—comply or die. As the body count and the tension rises, Blair and Maven's sanity and friendship starts to crack under the weight of the request.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In a quiet English village, Father Gregory, a compassionate parish priest, begins to suffer from a baffling medical condition—his body rejects normal food, his blood oxygen drops to dangerous levels, and he develops an unsettling tolerance, then need, for blood. Guided by a pragmatic physician, his symptoms are treated as a rare metabolic disorder, grounded in real science rather than superstition. 
    Gregory refuses to see himself as a monster. Instead, he reframes his condition as part of his calling—something he has been given to work with in service to others. As he continues his ministry, he discovers an unexpected ability: he can sense illness in others through smell, allowing him to offer not just prayer, but tangible, immediate help. 
    Word spreads quietly—first among parishioners, then far beyond. Travelers begin arriving. Not the sick, but others like him. 
    They are vampires—though the word is never spoken. Some are newly afflicted and terrified. Others are centuries old, sustained through ethically sourced blood and hidden systems embedded within modern society. Among them is an ancient man of immense wealth and influence, who has spent generations funding medical breakthroughs for humanity while secretly sustaining himself through science. 
    For the first time, he turns that power inward. 
    Believing Gregory represents a rare “middle state”—still human, still aging, still capable of choice—he funds groundbreaking research into the condition: not to cure it outright, but to understand it, stabilize it, and, if desired, end it peacefully. His goal is not immortality, but release. 
     
    As a hidden community gathers around the church, what begins as a grounded medical mystery evolves into a profound exploration of faith, identity, and choice. Gregory becomes a reluctant bridge between worlds
