    After the death of his wife, Annika, Chester Lane is forced to pick up the pieces and start anew. 
     
     
     
    Trouble is, some of the pieces don't appear to fit. 
     
     
     
    There was much more to Chester's late wife than met the eye; her short life had been a troubled one, filled with frightening oddities—some of which may have had a hand in her untimely death. 
     
     
     
    Perishing under horrifying and mysterious circumstances, Annika's absence casts a long shadow across Chester's life. Hungry for answers in the wake of her death, he starts asking questions better left unasked. 
     
     
     
    How did his beloved meet her end? Why does the smell of her signature perfume begin to turn up everywhere in the weeks after her passing? Who is the shadowed figure that stalks around his home and peers into his windows as the sun sets? Has his wife truly returned from the dead, or is he being haunted by a dark presence from her terrifying past? 
     
     
     
    The deeper Chester digs into Annika's past, the closer he gets to unearthing a true nightmare—a nightmare that had been set in motion long before they'd said, "I do." 
     
     
     
    The Other Woman is a tale of supernatural horror and mystery by Ambrose Ibsen, the author of The Haunting of Beacon Hill and Asylum.

    An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
    But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
    Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.

    Flayed: At seventeen, Mia Rose Ellis is haunted by a tragic summer and painful secrets. Seeking refuge in the forest behind her house, however, she finds two things that change everything: a rotten corpse and an archaic journal filled with horrifying tales. As Mia begins to read the eerie stories of a terrifying, malicious creature, she begins to realize the forest surrounding her house is more dangerous than she could've imagined. 
     
     
     
    The Journal of H. D. Wards: It comes at night, when the world is a dusty, quiet ball of forgotten memories. When the horrific creature known as The Flayed One comes for you, make no mistake. You will not be saved. 
     
     
     
    These are the last known words of H. D. Wards, a teenage boy living in the town of Cedarcrest in the 1970s. Legends in the town talk of strange disappearances in the Redwood Forest, a dark wood at the edge of the town. Ward's body was never found, but this journal was uncovered in the forest in the year 2020 by a visiting teenager. 
     
     
     
    This flesh destroying monster had been the thing of legends for locals, but Ward's horrifying account details strange nightly visits, terrifying flesh maladies, and a chilling fight for survival. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    The Abominations Of Yondo - Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz 
    Clark Ashton Smith (January 13, 1893 – August 14, 1961) was an American writer and artist. He achieved early local recognition, largely through the enthusiasm of George Sterling, for traditional verse in the vein of Swinburne. As a poet, Smith is grouped with the West Coast Romantics alongside Joaquin Miller, Sterling, and Nora May French and remembered as "The Last of the Great Romantics" and "The Bard of Auburn". Smith's work was praised by his contemporaries. H. P. Lovecraft stated that "in sheer daemonic strangeness and fertility of conception, Clark Ashton Smith is perhaps unexcelled", and Ray Bradbury said that Smith "filled my mind with incredible worlds, impossibly beautiful cities, and still more fantastic creatures". 
    Smith was one of "the big three of Weird Tales, with Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft", though some readers objected to his morbidness and violation of pulp traditions. The fantasy writer and critic L. Sprague de Camp said of him that "nobody since Poe has so loved a well-rotted corpse".[3] Smith was a member of the Lovecraft circle, and his literary friendship with Lovecraft lasted from 1922 until Lovecraft's death in 1937. His work is marked by an extraordinarily rich and ornate vocabulary, a cosmic perspective and a vein of sardonic and sometimes ribald humor. 
    Of his writing style, Smith stated: "My own conscious ideal has been to delude the reader into accepting an impossibility, or series of impossibilities, by means of a sort of verbal black magic, in the achievement of which I make use of prose-rhythm, metaphor, simile, tone-color, counter-point, and other stylistic resources, like a sort of incantation."

    From the author of the horror classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. 
    Seven bodies have washed ashore in Florida, and one of the drowned "boat people" is Chango, the voodoo sorcerer whose leather pouch holds a child's severed finger. 
    The sorcerer and his six followers have been buried in a mass grave. Prayers have been spoken to exorcise their unholy powers of the voodoo gods. But Chango's spirit still prowls the moonlit beaches, taking victim after victim, leaving them cannibalized and dismembered.  
    The human bodies are being used in an occult ritual.  
    And, come morning, we will face the unspeakable terror that is . . . VOODOO DAWN!
