Summary

Jonathan Harker, a young London solicitor travels to Transylvania to help a rich nobleman, Count Dracula, purchase an estate in England. Dracula is planning to immigrate to England, and wants Harker to help him hammer out all the legal details. Harker is at first impressed by Dracula's suave politeness, but is soon creeped out by the Count's uncanny ability to communicate with wolves and by the lack of servants—or anyone else—in the Count's huge castle.

    From bestselling and award-winning author Cadwell Turnbull comes A Ruin, Great and Free, the stunning conclusion to the popular Convergence Saga. 
    It has been nearly two years since the anti-monster riots. The inhabitants of Moon have been very fortunate in the intervening months. Inside their hidden monster settlement, they’ve found peace, even as the world outside slips into increasing unrest. Monsters are being hunted everywhere, forced back into the shadows they once tried to escape from. Other secret settlements have offered a place to hide, but how long can this half-measure against fear and hatred last? 
    Over the course of three days, the inhabitants of Moon are tested. The Black Hand continues to search for them, and the Cult of the Zsouvox wants to make Moon the last stand in their war against the Order of Asha. This is more than enough to reckon with, but the gods have also placed their sights on Moon—and they bring with them a conflict that may either save or unravel the universe itself.

    I never asked for a younger brother. The house smelled different after he arrived—like rot tucked into the seam of the sofa. That backpack made my skin crawl: dead rabbits, a squirrel I’d watched get flattened, a kid who could make animals move and men step backward into traffic.  
    They called Leo weird. I called him dangerous. 
    Dad called it adoption and healing. Mom called it grace. I called it trouble.  
    But when my mother found the journal hidden in his bag, everything changed—her discovery didn’t just hurt our family; it killed her. After that, the rules of the house shifted. Monsters started wearing familiar faces, and the man who’d taught me to trust therapists began to show his true face—hollowed, horned, and hungry.  
    If you think monsters live outside town, you haven’t seen what a child can raise in his basement. 
    Told up close and uneasy, this is the story of a brother who won’t let you sleep. When secrets, grief, and ancient devotion collide, a suburban home becomes the breeding ground for horror.

The source of the apparition must be found before the soon-to-be-wed woman is driven mad, or even to her death. Carnacki does not suspect supernatural forces are at work in this case, but even a ghostbuster can be wrong.

    A shimmering sovereign paid in blood. A ghostly seal begging for a human soul. A silent cabbie ferrying the dead across an unseen river. 
    In Drolls From Shadowland, author Cathleen King unveils a hauntingly atmospheric collection of folklore, fables, and morality tales steeped in the wild, mist-draped magic of the Cornish coast. Blurring the boundaries between the mortal coil and the realm of the eerie, these stories plunge deep into the darkness of human desire, exploring what we are willing to trade for wealth, revenge, or a fleeting moment of peace. 
    With an uncanny mastery of mythic storytelling, King weaves together fourteen hypnotic "drolls"—tales of the uncanny where subterranean demons lurk in forgotten mine shafts, men pawn their very souls into crystalline globes, and ancient ruins harbor the horrifying physical embodiment of Hate. You will follow cursed lovers, doomed prospectors, and bewildered spirits navigating twisted afterlives and spectral woodlands. 
    Perfect for fans of classic dark fantasy, Celtic mythology, and chilling ghost stories that leave a lingering philosophical bite, Drolls From Shadowland is an unforgettable journey into the twilight corners of the human heart. Step into the shadows, if you dare, and listen to the whispers of the piskies, the dead, and the damned.

    2024 INDIE INK AWARD WINNER: Writing the Future We Need: Disability Representation by a disabled author 
     
    A psychic priest is thrown headfirst into a battle of faith and love against the forces of Hell when his dearest friend becomes possessed. 
    Father Isaias Flores may not have much, but he has his faith—and his dear friend Hector to keep him anchored when he is mired in self-doubt. But when Hector’s daughter, Violet, comes to Isaias with concerns that her father is acting strangely, Isaias’s doubts only increase, now with no one to keep him steadfast. For Hector seems to be possessed by something darker than even the traumas of the past, and Violet has nowhere else to turn to save her only family. 
     
    This is a problem that may require divine intervention—the rites of exorcism. 
     
    Unsure of his place in the church, doubting his gifts from God, and struggling to make sense of his feelings for the man he had thought was only a friend, Isaias isn’t sure if he is strong enough to save anyone’s soul from damnation. 
     
    For what can one man do against the torments of Hell?
