  Reese... 
  I made a mistake that might have ruined someone's life. I've moved to Sydney to avoid the glares and the questions from the people back home, but there's one thing I can't run from--the guilt and pain that follows me relentlessly. All I can do is dull it with alcohol and casual sex.  
  But then my new boss, Mr Dark and Delicious, deserted me, mid kiss, with my skirt hiked up and my shirt discarded on the alley floor. I should hate him―him and the secrets he's keeping. But I can't stay away. Because the pain and guilt he's hiding mirror my own. 
   Low... 
  All she wanted was one night. That, I could do. I'm the king of casual. Love them and leave them, before they leave me. With chemistry off the scale, we couldn't even make it home, both of us too impatient, ripping each other's clothes off in the alleyway outside the bar.  
  Then my phone buzzed, and one text message stopped everything. I couldn't think. Couldn't breathe. All I could do was run. I'm toxic, but I can't tell her why. I can't bear the look of horror I know would cross her face. But I also don't know how to keep something so life altering from the woman I'm falling for. Not when I need her just to survive it.

  Lucas Grafton has spent the last ten years hunting the Conclave, a secret organization who took everything from him, including his very identity.

  Jenna Young can't believe she was attacked and barely escaped with her life. Now she's on the run with a stranger . . . and racing against the clock. With only a note left by her father after his death, telling her to use the code-word "Descartes" to get the pills that slow the progression of her illness, Jenna has only days before her body will start to rapidly deteriorate. 
   
   
   
  Lucas and Jenna must piece together why she's wanted by a terrorist group she's never heard of. And why, despite her claims that she needs an unknown and presumably illegal drug to stay alive, she seems to be getting stronger by the day . . .

  Weird Tales brings together 18 unforgettable lost science fiction and dark fantasy short stories, from Weird Tales Magazine—from the late 1800s through the golden decades of the 1920s, ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s. 
  This collection plunges you into shadow-soaked ruins, forbidden knowledge, alien geometries, living houses, and terrors that refuse to remain buried. These are stories where science blurs into nightmare, curiosity becomes a fatal flaw, and the universe proves far stranger—and more hostile—than humanity ever imagined. 
  You’ll encounter ancient cities abandoned for reasons best left undiscovered, unseen entities lurking just beyond perception, and experiments that open doors no one should walk through. Weird Tales delivers the raw imagination that defined early speculative fiction.

  "I saw it as plainly as I see you now... the room, the bed, and the thing that lay upon it."
  
  While walking to meet his fiancée at her new home, a young man has a sudden, inexplicable "waking dream." He finds himself inside a house that is the mirror image of his beloved's—but instead of a warm welcome, he discovers a scene of gruesome violence and a silent, murdered woman. When he finally arrives at the real house, he is horrified to find that the layout, the wallpaper, and the atmosphere match his vision exactly. Is he losing his mind, or has he glimpsed a future that he is now powerless to prevent?
  
  A Pioneer of Psychological Dread: Long before modern "final destination" tropes, Edith Nesbit explored the horror of the inevitable. The Mystery of the Semi-Detached is celebrated for its tight pacing and its refusal to rely on traditional ghosts. The terror here is purely psychological and temporal, playing on the Victorian anxiety regarding the "double" and the hidden lives behind the identical facades of suburban streets.
  
  The Horror of the Everyday: Nesbit takes the mundane setting of a new home—a symbol of hope and future happiness—and transforms it into a site of inescapable trauma. By stripping away the gothic castles and replaced them with a standard middle-class dwelling, she brings the supernatural uncomfortably close to home. It is a haunting reminder that the most terrifying things are often the ones we see with our eyes wide open.
  
  You can't run from what you've already seen. Purchase "The Mystery of the Semi-Detached" today and experience the ultimate Victorian nightmare.
