  A NEW NOVELLA FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE TURTLE BOY & KIN. 
   
   
   
  When they were kids, Gillian and John used to visit the local cemetery every Sunday after church. The main attraction was the lofty hill that separated the cemetery from the elementary school, and the act of tumbling down it like Jack and Jill was a ritualistic escape from the abuse they were suffering at their father's hands. 
   
   
   
  It was an escape that lasted only until John's tragic death. 
   
   
   
  Now, Gillian is all grown up. Married with two children, she has managed over the years to force the trauma of her nightmarish childhood into the darkest recesses of her mind. 
   
   
   
  But lately there are dreams, and in them Gillian sees impossibly vivid reenactments of the horrors she endured as a child. Nightly, she sees John die all over again, only not in the way she remembers. 
   
   
   
  And something else is in those dreams, stalking her, a terrible figure with wire-hanger hands and a plastic bag wrapped around its rotten face. A monster whose reach starts to extend beyond the boundaries of sleep into the waking world, threatening everything Gillian holds dear. 
   
   
   
  A monster she once called Daddy.

  Ace Ventura meets the Addams Family!   A shambling horde of new cases hits Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. in the Unnatural Quarter. Dan and his gang—including his ghost girlfriend, feisty lawyer partner, cop best friend, and little vampire half-daughter Alvina—are out to seek justice, solve mysteries, and keep their heads on straight … or at least attached.   Alvina’s singing lessons for the Banshee Tabernacle Choir end on a sour note when the troll choir director plunges to her death from a high belfry, and the only witness is a deaf-as-a-post gargoyle who sits too close to the loud bells.   A frustrated imp, woefully unsuccessful in betting on the nightmare races, is dead certain that his bookie BatGN (GN for “gender neutral” to avoid copyright issues) is cheating him.   Francine, the salty bartender at the Goblin Tavern, is worried when One Fang the vampire—her on-again, off-again suitor—disappears without a trace.   A shady vendor discovers a market for living shrunken heads that are conversational as well as decorative, but the demand by far exceeds the supply.   A heartless therapist has ulterior motives when she counsels zombies, distracting them from their woes to concentrate not just on brains, but on self-improvement as well.   There is much at stake in the Unnatural Quarter, and it’s up to Dan Shamble to keep the streets dark and safe for monsters and humans alike. After all, the cases don’t solve themselves!   This zombie detective puts the P.I. back in R.I.P.

  “We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere.” (Ted Bundy, American serial killer) Inspired by a true story. He came in the morning when they were still making lunches and getting ready for school and work. He killed them all - mother, father, and children. Brutally slaughtered them in the comfort of their own home. They called him the Monday Morning Killer. That was 40 years ago, but now, it is happening again. A mother and her daughter are brutally murdered in their house on a peaceful Monday morning in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Detective Jack Ryder has enough on his plate, being home alone with six kids and his wife - country superstar Shannon King - on tour. This case takes his anxiety to a new level when he realizes the crime scene matches unsolved murders from four decades prior. He worries that a deranged serial killer has returned to Cocoa Beach. No one feels safe, especially not the girl next door, who just bought the house where the first family was killed, 40 years ago. Who is capable of such cruelty? And why? Could one person be responsible for these brutal killings of entire families, so many years apart? Or, is Jack dealing with a copycat? You’ll never guess the shocking answer. With intense twists and nerve-wracking tension, Girl Next Door is a chilling and horrifying look into the minds of serial killers. If you like tales based on true stories, nerve-wracking tension, and twists you won’t see coming, then you’ll love Willow Rose’s nightmarish mystery novel. This is precisely the type of book that earned her the nickname: the Queen of Scream.

  Everything’s fresh on Lilith’s Farm. Especially the bodies. 
  A sinister forest, toxic fungus, and the dark secrets of a crazy old woman meet in a tale of vengeance, betrayal, and terror. 
  Cece grew up in Spotsylvania, Virginia, but she left a long time ago. She’d rather live the life of the road dog than stay in that backwoods dump, even if it means never having a place of her own. 
  But when a mysterious postcard from her missing father arrives, she finds herself pulled back home to the place where he was last seen: Lilith’s Farm. The work is hard and her bosses are jerks, but at least the food is good. 
  Then strange things begin to happen. The fence that borders the property seems like it’s under attack from the forest. Toxic fungus balls keep popping up on the tree trunks. And one by one, Cece’s fellow workers go missing. 
  Any normal person would try to escape, but escape isn’t possible. Besides, Cece’s on a mission to find her father, and nothing, not the forest, not the fungus balls, not her creepy bosses, will stop her… except death, of course. 
  At once twisted, horrific, and surprisingly funny, Mungwort does for the forest what Alien did for space: everybody can hear you scream, but they just don’t care.
