Dark Dimensions: The Forbidden Experiment of Bheskents

Arthur Anderson

Maison d'édition: BookRix

Synopsis

Within the confines of the city of Bheskents, a laboratory held the secrets of a daring yet doomed scientific quest. A team of brilliant minds, led by Luc, Glenn, Willem, Bram, Charlotte, and Jolien, embarked on an experiment to explore alternative dimensions, an endeavor that challenged the limits of human knowledge.
What began as an inquisitive and bold pursuit soon turned into an abyss of terror and despair. An unexpected twist in the course of the experiment unleashed a malevolent force that lay hidden at the borders of space-time. With every passing second, the laboratory plunged deeper into darkness, and its occupants faced an invisible and ruthless enemy.
The scientists became prisoners of their own ambition as the unleashed entity exerted its sinister influence over them. Signs of the malevolent presence insidiously manifested, tearing at the minds and bodies of those who ventured beyond the boundaries established by nature.
Internal conflicts and distrust cracked the team's foundation, fracturing their unity into a labyrinth of suspicions and fears. Mysterious disappearances, unleashed violence, and a constant struggle to maintain sanity became the new reality for those trapped in the chaos of the laboratory.
The fragile union among the survivors offered glimpses of hope, revealing ancient knowledge and inevitable sacrifices in a desperate attempt to contain the looming threat over Bheskents.
In an inevitable culmination, difficult decisions and the final confrontation with the malevolent entity would lead to devastating consequences, both for the survivors and the city itself. The forbidden experiment left its dark imprint on Bheskents' history, reminding of the dangers of exploring the unknown and challenging the limits of what is possible.

To Haunt and to Hold

Leanna Renee Hieber

Demons are amassing in New York City…
As the dawn of the twentieth century approaches, the spectral battle for the city’s souls is heating up. Maggie Hathorn, a ghostly socialite, and her living beau, Reverend Roberto Coronado, have spent their entire courtship so far solving murders and banishing evil spirits. All Maggie wants is a chance to bask in her newfound romance, attending dinner parties and stealing moments alone with her beloved exorcist.
But when New York City’s Ghost Precinct receives a call of distress from the spirit world, Maggie realizes that their battles aren’t over yet. Indeed, there are evil forces at work that are larger than she could have imagined. Maggie and Coronado discover that the perpetrators of their previous cases were both part of the American-Born Guild, an organization dedicated to fanning the flames of nativism and emboldening hateful hearts toward violence.
Even more dangerous, members of this guild have been carelessly playing with Spiritualism, opening spectral doors and unknowingly welcoming in demonic entities. This influx of demons is endangering the spectral refuge known as Sanctuary, where Maggie has more than once found a safe haven in times of trouble. Now it is Maggie’s turn to save Sanctuary. To do this, Maggie will need to call on allies new and old to help take down the guild and dispel the amassing demons. And Maggie herself will need to step into her role as a bridge between the living and the dead.
If Sanctuary can be saved, it may just be the key to fulfilling Maggie’s dreams and facilitating the love between a ghost and an exorcist.
