  Rina Kirsch is a young mother and Modern Orthodox Jew in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood of Los Angeles. Dutifully keeping to the formidable expectations of a traditional household connects Rina with generations past and those to come. But a contradiction burns at her center: Rina is an atheist. She is also stymied in her life and marriage. 
   
   
   
  Hoping to reinvigorate their relationship, Rina's husband convinces her to partake in a night of wife swapping with other Orthodox couples. Rather than preserve her marriage, however, the swap plunges Rina down a heady path that begins with a rekindled passion for painting and culminates in an intoxicating affair with Will Ochoa, her married art teacher. Clandestine rendezvous and stolen moments of ardor awaken Rina to an existence beyond the confining parameters of tradition, offering a glimpse at the possible life she left behind in the olive groves of her youth. As the blush of erotic thrill comes into sharp contrast with the complications of living a secret life, Rina must decide if it's worth sacrificing everything she's ever known to fully inhabit the uncharted landscape unfolding before her, one where her needs take precedence. Olive Days is an unforgettable story of the agonizing choices women make to balance duty against desire.

  Callum MacLaren, a professor from Scotland, visits Willow Springs, Vermont during the Winter Solstice to study and explore the rich history of St. Joseph's Cemetery. His encounter with a sexy soldier in a tattered Civil War uniform is a captivating puzzle, and the more he learns, the deeper his attraction.

Even stranger, the man can see him, hear him, and touch him--a sizzling caress that leaves Elijah aching for more. 
  But will Elijah return to his ghostly form when the magic of the solstice fades, or is Callum's love enough to keep him in the land of the living?

  On a chilling night in 1994, a small town was consumed by chaos as horror movie clichés became terrifyingly real. Slashers stalked dark alleys, ancient demons awakened, and alien hunters prowled the shadows. The victims we've come to expect—like the Slutty Girl, the Stoner, the Jock, and the Nerd—were targeted, cornered, and left for dead.  
  But what if, just once, the story didn't end the way we thought it would? 
  **Archetypes of Horror: The Night The Tropes Survived** twists the familiar rules of the genre, offering ten flash fiction stories where classic horror movie victims fight back, survive, and find unexpected futures. From the cheerleader who outsmarts an alien killer to the goth kid who narrowly escapes a cursed fate, these stories breathe new life into old tropes, delivering sharp, suspenseful narratives that challenge our expectations. Each tale is packed with gripping suspense, moments of dark humor, and an underlying sense of dread that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. 
  For readers who loved **Creepshow**, **Goosebumps**, and **Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark**, **Archetypes of Horror** will be a thrilling and nostalgic ride, tapping into the universal fear of what happens when the familiar becomes deadly. Are you ready to discover what happens when the victims fight back… and when they wake up?
