Synopsis

We love ghost stories here at Wildside Press—witness the fact that we have now now reached our eighth volume in this series. Very few other genres are so versatile and enduring as tales of the supernatural. Ghosts can (and have) appeared in literature for thousands of years, in all countries and continents (and times past, present, and future) throughout the world. But the Victorian era particularly seemed to embrace ghost stories, and that’s when Christmas ghost tales became not just a staple of literature, but a requirement. Seemingly all British fiction magazines (and many newspapers) had to publish at least one ghostly tale in the month of December.Proving that the ghost story tradition is strong to the present day, we have an original story from Phyllis Ann Karr (author of the Frostflower and Thorn series), plus two drawn from Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine (which strayed a little more into the fantastic and horrific in the 1960s that it does today), plus another modern story by Wallace West, who is best known as a science fiction writer. Good stuff.Here is the complete lineup:

    From the Author who gave you The Guard Trilogy comes the new extended series, The Guards of Haven. 
    This novel, The Haven, is Book 4 and represents the next in series and it is considered the bridge book from the original trilogy to the new Extended Series, The Guards of Haven. Although the previous three books of The Guard Trilogy can stand alone as a complete story, these next novels adhere to the original storyline and require listeners to catch up with the trilogy before going on to these next in the sequence. 
    If every time a bell rings, an angel gets their winds, then what tears them away? 
    I stood fixated at the sight in front of me, the magnificence of his features I could still see through the bloodstains on his cheeks. A grunt then hiss of pain suddenly escape his swollen lips and his eyes flutter open. He is still alive. 
    New town, new house… new dangers. 
    For Lynn, ditching Miami and moving to a small town hadn’t been about leaving her old life behind, it had been about moving forward with her new one. Though she hadn’t anticipated that this newfound happiness, she had discovered here would come with new threats. 
    It’s been 11 years since the gathering, and since Lynn discovered more about her true ancestry. They’d all learned a lot more about family, friendship, and their gifts, except along with this knowledge came the sacrifices and loses that we tended to learn about the hard way. Thankfully, there have been many joys, successes, and even a financial windfall for them along the journey. But what came next, this new threat, not even Lynn’s gift of premonition could have ever seen it coming. 
    What if the wrong people knew you could see or sense things that they couldn’t. What if it put you, your family, and so many other innocents in danger? But what if you could help the innocent by using your gift—would you do it, would you risk it?

    From socialite to innkeeper, she didn't expect to trade cocktail spirits for another kind entirely. Divorcee Meredith Sullivan is starting over in rural Maine, leaving behind her glamorous NYC lifestyle and cheating husband. The inn she inherits, dubbed Three Crones Inn by the locals, comes with three unexpected ghostly residents. Lottie was the first mistress of Three Crowns, but her cheating husband murdered her. Augusta came to the inn to write, and her spirit never left. Gemini was a '20s flapper on the wrong side of Prohibition. 
    Together, they're enough to drive Meredith insane even as they help her find her way in this new adventure. Hunter, the sexy handyman, is a bonus and a complication she's not sure she's ready to face after ending her 20-year marriage, but if she wants to restore the inn to its former glory, she has to put on her big girl panties and deal with all the challenges coming her way. The mystery of what's happening in the lighthouse must be solved, and she has to keep living. 
    Life's no longer about cocktail parties, but there are still plenty of spirits.

    Robert E. Howard’s "Pigeons from Hell" is a chilling Southern Gothic horror tale blending supernatural terror with a grim, oppressive atmosphere. It follows two travellers, John Branner and Griswell, who become stranded in the deep South and take refuge in an abandoned plantation house, the decaying remnants of the Blassenville family estate. The house is eerily silent, save for the presence of strange pigeons roosting in the rafters. 
    One of Howard’s most famous horror stories, Pigeons from Hell is a masterful blend of ghostly dread, gruesome violence, and atmospheric storytelling, showcasing his talent beyond sword-and-sorcery fiction. It remains one of the finest examples of Southern Gothic horror in pulp literature.

    A former soldier turned priest and son of an acclaimed exorcist; he struggles to find work. Living life under his father’s shadow is taking its toll on him.  
    He needs money to survive, but with few viable prospects, his chances aren’t looking good.

    His return from a mission trip in Brazil raises questions.  
    The once beloved priest is a shadow of his former self and is believed to have gone mad. Despite his bizarre behavior, he’s amassed a huge following and has taken his evangelism to the airwaves. People have flocked to The Foundation. His captive audience has even gathered an elite group of believers who spend time at the compound. 
    When the congregation draws attention for all the wrong reasons, the Church dispatches Noah to investigate and report back on the validity of the rumors. Soon, Noah finds himself ensnared in what could be the greatest hoax the world has ever seen…or the location for the final showdown between God and the devil himself. 
    Will Noah uncover the horrifying secrets and expose the truth, or will the congregation’s unwavering and deadly loyalty stop him in his tracks?

    A disturbing and ghoulish tale and acknowledged as one of Lovecraft's best. For many years, the narrator and his uncle, Dr. Elihu Whipple, have nurtured a fascination with an old abandoned house on Benefit Street. Dr. Whipple has made extensive use of records tracking the mysterious, yet apparently coincidental, sickness and death of many who have lived in the house for over one hundred years. They are also puzzled by the strange weeds growing in the yard, as well as an unexplained foul smell and whitish phosphorescent fungi growing in the cellar. There, the narrator discovers a strange, yellowish vapour in the basement, which seems to be coupled with a moldy outline of a huddled human form on the floor. The narrator and his uncle decide to spend the night in the house, investigating the possibility of some supernatural force. They set up both cots and chairs in the cellar, arm themselves with military flamethrowers, and outfit a modified Crookes tube in the hopes of destroying any supernatural presence they might find. What they find is horrible indeed.
