  After the syndicated TV show Inquiring Minds airs footage of their resident ghost at Holly Grove, a converted antebellum plantation house, it seems as if half the state of Louisiana wants to book a room. There’s only one small problem: the ghost of her not-so-dearly-departed husband Burl has...departed. For the sake of business, Holly’s willing to keep up the pretense of still being haunted. But after an outspoken debunker challenges the show’s credibility, the TV crew returns to Holly Grove to prove the ghost is real. Following a disastrous séance, Holly is sure she’ll be exposed as a charlatan. Surprisingly, the debunker suddenly becomes a believer—after he’s pushed off the widow’s walk to his death and rises as a ghost. Now his inquiring mind wants to know: who murdered him? When he asks for Holly’s help, she can’t say no. But this time it’s her turn to watch her step. Because if the killer gets spooked, the next ghost haunting the B&B may well be her own.

  The Masque of the Red Death is a story by Edgar Allan Poe. A terrible disease called the Red Death has struck the country. It’s incredibly fatal, horribly gruesome, and it’s already killed off half the kingdom. But the ruler of these parts, Prince Prospero, doesn’t seem to care about his poor, dying subjects. Instead, he decides to let the kingdom take care of itself while he and a thousand of his favorite knights and ladies shut themselves up in a fabulous castle to have one never-ending party. Wine, women, music, dancing, fools – Prospero’s castle has it all. After the last guest enters, no one else can get in – the Prince has welded the doors shut. That means no one can get out, either...

  Based on the Port St. Lucie Legend, this paranormal thriller novel revives a serial killer with “crackling dialogue . . . [and] a Satanic aura” (Hunter Shea, author of Tortures of the Damnedand The Montauk Monster). Back in the 1970s, a series of bizarre incidents occurred at what has since been known as “The Devil Tree.” Beneath this ancient denizen, evil was wrought by a sick serial killer, calling upon forces most sinister and dark. People were hung there . . . and bodies buried there . . . exhumed by the police. Overcome by superstition, some tried to cut down the tree, to no avail. Since then, it has stood in a remote section of a local park—left to its own devices—quiet in its eerie repose—until now!  Psychological-thriller author Keith Rommel has imagined the whole tale anew. He’s brought the tree to life and retold the tale with gory detail only possible in fiction. Action-packed, with spine-tingling detail, this thriller is beyond parallel in the revelations it uncovers . . . In the expert hands of Rommel, the explanation of what may have really been said—what may have really happened—under Port St. Lucie’s “Devil Tree” is chilling . . .  “The Devil Tree blankets you in dread from the start and then proceeds to smother you.” —Jason Brant, author of The Hunger series  “A gripping and terrifying tale with a razor sharp supernatural edge.” —Jack Campisi, co-host of the Monster Men horror video podcast
