A London merchant becomes obsessed with a specific Scottish costume, leading him to a remote seaside village. There, he encounters a terrifying reflection of himself amidst the treacherous shifting sands. A disturbing story of vanity and madness where identity dissolves into the deadly landscape.
A “fresh, intense, erotic, funny, and scary” novel of vampiric horror from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Stillhouse Lake novels (P.N. Elrod, author of Drawing Dead and Other Stories). After eight years of marriage, surgeon Mike Bowman and his police officer wife have snuck time into their busy schedules to celebrate their anniversary. But work is never far from Mike’s mind, which is why he finds himself in the morgue in the middle of night instead of in his wife’s arms . . . Trying to come to terms with two young murder victims he wasn’t able to save, Mike unburdens himself to his friend and morgue attendant Adam Radburn. Good ol’ Adam, whose eyes seem bizarrely dark tonight and whose reflection in the cold storage drawers . . . doesn’t exist. When Adam reveals his true self to Mike—and saves him from the clutches of death—Mike goes from a man trained to save lives to one who must take them to survive. And though Mike is now immune to mortal dangers, there are new threats to contend with and worse creatures who walk the Earth. One has been tracking Adam for centuries. To satisfy his bloodlust, he’s willing to destroy everyone Adam holds dear—including his new offspring. “In The Undead, vampires lurk menacingly, and they are not the cute, cuddly, romantic-type vampires of modern urban fiction. These are serious, life-threatening, blood-sucking, kill-you-till-you’re-dead vampires . . . [A] diamond in the rough.” —RamblesMostra libro

Every deal has a cost. Every soul has a story. And the Devil remembers all of them. Meet Lucky Beaumont: casino mogul, mother, monster, angel fallen and remade. To mortals, she's a billionaire with a smile sharp enough to draw blood. To those who cross her path, from bullied children to broken men to the wicked who think they'll never fall, she is something far older, far kinder, and far more terrifying than the legends ever dared to tell. In these interwoven tales, Lucky opens the door to her past and present: a lonely girl clutching a jump rope in a ruined church.... a family road trip to a crater where Heaven once broke.... a trio of students caught between a haunted house and a debt long overdue.... and a predator who finally meets something hungrier than himself. Through each story, Lucky writes to the one person she cannot forget: Rafe, revealing the truth behind mercy, monstrosity, and the love that reshaped Hell itself. Gothic folklore, supernatural noir, an intimate confessional combine in The Devil's Memoirs as it pulls back the curtain on the Morning Star and finds not a villain, but a protector; not damnation, but choice.Mostra libro

When Valeria stumbles into the shadows of the Deep Wood, she crosses a line no mortal dares to tread. Captured by the Hag—a figure from nightmares who rules the forest with ancient magic—Valeria is forced into a life of dark servitude. Bound to the Hag's will, Valeria's days blur into strange rituals and harrowing tasks that push her to the edge of endurance. The forest is both prison and puzzle, filled with spirits and chorts, beings that are neither entirely friend nor foe. In this bleak existence, she crosses paths with Marat, a hardened hunter whose own secrets run as deep as the forest's roots. Though his motives remain unclear, his presence stirs something within Valeria—a reminder that survival, and perhaps even escape, may lie in unexpected alliances. The deeper Valeria sinks into the forest's mysteries, the more she awakens a power within herself—one that could offer a path to freedom or lead her further into darkness. Breaking free of the Hag's hold could unleash forces beyond her control, risking her life and the very soul of the Deep Wood. Caught between survival and a thirst for answers, Valeria must decide: will she remain a pawn in the Hag's twisted game, or dare to defy her fate and become something the forest itself has never seen?
