  Book 14: Psychic Visions 
   
  Childhood dreams can come true—so can nightmares. 
   
  Lacey always dreamed of a trip to Pompeii but never thought it would happen, until her cousin calls out of the blue, asking if Lacey would like to replace their photographer on their archeological dig.  
   
  Sebastian wasn’t expecting Lacey to be, well, Lacey. But he’s intrigued from the start, and then he sees what she can do— even before she does.  
   
  As the images of the past rise in front of Lacey, taxing her artistic ability to document them, strange events start happening. Without reason, the atmosphere on the dig shifts to something supernatural that scares her, intrigues her, then consumes her.  
   
  For Sebastian these events all bring back memories of the worst dig in his life, and he can see history repeating itself. He needs to stop it this time. He must protect his team and his friends, but especially Lacey, before everyone dies—just like they did last time.

  Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a landmark of Gothic literature and one of the earliest works of science fiction. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, becomes obsessed with uncovering the secrets of life. His experiments culminate in the creation of a living being, but Victor is horrified by what he has brought into the world and abandons his creation.  
   
   
  Rejected by his creator and by society, the Creature struggles to understand humanity, longing for companionship and acceptance. As isolation turns to anger, he demands that Victor confront the consequences of his actions, setting both on a tragic path of pursuit, revenge, and destruction. Told through layered narratives of exploration, confession, and memory, the novel explores ambition, scientific responsibility, loneliness, prejudice, identity, and the boundaries of human knowledge. Atmospheric, philosophical, and deeply unsettling, Frankenstein remains a powerful examination of what can happen when the desire to create surpasses the responsibility to care for what has been created.

  Detective Logan Ward is a man hollowed out by grief, a shadow moving through the neon-drenched, rain-slicked streets of Aethelburg. But when he is assigned to a string of impossible suicides, he discovers a horror that defies the three dimensions of human understanding. 
  Following the trail of the "Klein Manuscript," Logan is led to a house on Escher Street that shouldn't exist—a place where geometry is a weapon and the walls breathe with the echoes of the damned. As he peels back the fabric of reality, he realizes these victims didn't just end their lives; they were harvested by a predator from the 4th dimension. In this mind-bending cosmic horror, Logan must decide if he is chasing the truth or simply walking into the aperture of his own eternal torment.

  Sometimes it's the little cases. 
   
   
   
  Not every minute of being a detective is spent solving huge murder cases. Sometimes it's the little ones that take up Detective Young's life, like the seventy-year-old cold case that suddenly fell into his lap or figuring out if a death was suicide or murder. 
   
   
   
  Lance spends most of his time working cases that no one hears about. The unattended deaths of those not under a doctor's care take up most of his time. Now that he can speak to ghosts, some of those cases are the most interesting. Work isn't all that is keeping him busy—his brother's girlfriend has shown up in need of his help, and he can't refuse when she'd helped him so much in the past. 
   
   
   
  Life is never boring for Lance and Angus, and though work pulls them both in different directions, they always seem to meet up somewhere in the middle of things. Sometimes it feels like if murder and death didn't bring them together, they'd never get time together at all.
