    A corpse that refuses to decay. A seamstress hiding from her past. A forbidden sanctuary in the shadows of a moss-choked crypt. 
    Rowena Roseblood survives by keeping her head down. As the mortuary seamstress for a settlement choked by freezing fog and the fanatical dogma of Priestess Mia Montgomery, Rowena knows that defying the church means burning at the stake. She tends to the dead in solitary silence, using her craft as penance for a past act of cowardice. 
    But when a terrified villager brings a shrouded, unnatural body to her door—a man whose cold flesh shifts and pulses with a terrifying, predatory power—Rowena makes a choice that will alter her fate forever. Instead of surrendering him to the pyres, she hides him. 
    Beneath the ruins of an abandoned, moss-choked chapel, Draven Darkmoor awakens. He is a "grave-born," a creature of terrifying strength, obsidian claws, and silver eyes. Yet, within this shifting, monstrous form is a deeply vulnerable soul terrified of his own hunger. As Rowena risks everything to feed him, bind his transforming flesh, and soothe his panic, an intense and undeniable bond forms in the dark. 
    Shrouds of the Uncanny is the atmospheric, pulse-pounding first volume in The Covenant of Quiet Beasts. Blending sweeping gothic horror with heart-wrenching dark romantic fantasy, John Newbill spins a masterful tale of dangerous mercy, oppressive zealotry, and a love forged in the very margins of the world.

    The Headless Horseman. Everyone knows the legend. That’s all it is, right? 
     
    When a third headless victim is found on Boston’s streets, Chloe Mayfield is tasked with finding the person behind the crime spree – no one else wants a case this weird. It would be easy to dismiss the murders as nothing more than the random acts of a madman with a cosplay fetish, but when her investigations lead her to the morgue, she comes face to face with an apparition she cannot explain. 
     
    Throw in the stalker-like attentions of a deranged clown, dangerous interactions with the Salem witches, and an enemy within her own police department who intends to see her fail, and Chloe is in for an uphill battle. Not only to solve the case but to get through it alive. 
     
    Mess this up and she’s either out of a job, dead, or both.

    "Worthy of comparison to Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea . . . A splendid achievement from a writer at the height of her powers."—Historical Novels Review (Editors' Choice) 
    "This book has it all. Unnatural Creatures is an atmospheric, reimagined classic about the lines we cross for loyalty and love." —Foreword Reviews 
    For the first time, the story of the three women closest to Victor Frankenstein is revealed in a sweeping reimagining of Frankenstein by the author of The Lost History of Dreams. 
    THE MOTHER. Caroline Frankenstein will do anything to protect her family against the revolutions engulfing 18th-century Europe. In doing so, she creates her own monster in the form of her scientist son, Victor. 
    THE BRIDE. Rescued by Caroline as a four-year-old beggar, Elizabeth Lavenza knows the only way she can repay the Frankensteins is by accepting Victor's hand in marriage. But when Elizabeth's heart yearns for another, the lives of those she most loves collide with the unnatural creature born of Victor's profane experiments. 
    THE SERVANT. After an abusive childhood, Justine Moritz is taken in by Caroline to serve the Frankensteins. Justine's devotion to Caroline and Elizabeth knows no bounds . . . until a tragedy changes her irrevocably. Her fate sets her against Victor's monster, who is desperate to wreak revenge against the Frankensteins. 
    Stunningly written and exquisitely atmospheric, Unnatural Creatures shocks new life into Mary Shelley's beloved gothic classic by revealing the feminine side of the tale.
