The Lair of the White Worm

Bram Stoker

Summary

The final horror masterpiece from the author of Dracula.   At the bottom of a hidden well, a green light gleams. In the sky, a kite drives a man to madness. An unsuspecting traveler seeks to connect with long lost family.    All the while, the White Worm lurks… waiting, watching, hunting.   From Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, and published only a year before his death, The Lair of the White Worm was heavily abridged and republished in 1925, leaving readers and critics alike dissatisfied and disappointed.

The Profound - Part One

Manus Braith

"The Profound - Part 1" is the first volume of a narrative spanning many volumes. This series is a slow burn that introduces the reader into a world both magic and scary.
James Tannot, a young Irishman from Dublin, actually has no aspirations of becoming a hero or an enlightened master. His main objective is to enjoy his time as a medical student in Southern France and graduate as an MD from Marseille University. However, he fails the entrance exam and shortly thereafter meets a peculiar Armenian doctor who introduces him to a secret community of healers and magicians called the Cymdeithas. They take him in and aim to turn him into a healer. Suddenly, James finds himself in a world where sorcery and supernatural abilities are as real as a supermarket in the ordinary world.
And there is more: during his training with the Cymdeithas, James not only encounters his soulmate, Manush, but also discovers that in this course of study, he must be willing to risk his life. But, please do not get this series wrong. There are no vampires and sex driven demons, there are no magic wands and there is no exhilarating battle between good and evil. The narrative in this series is far more complex. The story is infused with spiritual teachings from all sorts of traditions and is just as much about a personal journey of healing, as it is about the obstacles humanity faces in its struggle to overcome evil, boredom and the curse of no-meaning. Though a fantasy novel, the author weaves an intriguing story that is more about our everyday reality, than one may think. So, if you simply want to listen to a thrilling adventure void of meaning for your real life: don't listen. But if you believe that there is more to life than what meets the eye, if you alway felt, that something in our world is off, then go ahead.

Ghost Mark

JP McLean

Jane's nightmares are back—and this time, they've unleashed a brutal killer.  
Jane Walker's nightmares aren't imaginary—they're glimpses into the traumatic past; and the past can be dangerous, especially now that Jane's protective birthmarks are gone.  
Worse, she's no longer invisible within her dreams—and learns this the hard way while using her power to incriminate a ruthless killer. Inadvertently revealing her ghost form, she launches him on a relentless hunt to track her down. 
Even more disturbing, Jane knows this man. She once tried to use her power to save him from injury, but instead set him on a path of violent crime. Now, he's targeted the man she loves, and Jane must keep one step ahead of this cold-blooded assassin before he gets rid of Ethan permanently. 
Jane has one last chance to fix the mistake that altered this man's history, but that means taking her most dangerous dream journey yet—one from which she might never awaken. 
Ghost Mark is the second installment of the Dark Dreams Series by JP McLean, an author whose writing the Ottawa Review of Books calls "relentless and original."
