Summary

Three tales of monsters and terror in the Louisiana bayous. 
When a young bride goes missing on her wedding day in Acadiana, the locals blame the Terror, the legendary monster that stalks the Crimson Bayou. 
Remy Theriault does not believe in the Terror and he's pretty sure the bride has done a runner. But the groom is his cousin and family is family. So Remy goes out to look for the runaway bride, only to find that sometimes, the old legends are true… 
When their car crashes into the bayou on a dark Louisiana night, the swamp creature known only as Big Puffball might just be one family's salvation… 
When fishing boats go missing on the Mississippi River Delta, few people link these disappearances to the mysterious light that lit up the Louisiana sky only weeks before. But an astronomer from Tulane University makes the connection and discovers the horror that is the sphere that ate the Mississippi delta. 
This is a collection of three short horror stories of 7700 words or approximately 27 print pages altogether.
Available since: 10/21/2016.

    Water. H2O.  Adams Ale.  An essential for life.  Without it life is impossible.  Was it always that way?  In this volume of stories water becomes the landscape and narrative, a character more deadly and perhaps more aware of its power than us mere mortals.  We are beguiled by its sight. Whether softly breaking waves on a sandy beach or a thunderous storm engulfing the cliff face.  But also in other forms; as lakes and lagoons. Water is everywhere and where there is water is the shadow of menace.

    A collection of G.M.Hague's first three "Paranormal Tales" novellas, this brings together classic horror and traditional ghost stories into a full-length book that will keep you awake long into the night and leaving the lights on. In "Death Wish" a woman fervently wishes her adored husband wasn't dead - and gets far more than she wanted. "The Girl in the Back Seat" is a cautionary tale about picking up hitchhikers. Teenage girls can be difficult, especially when their unhappy spirits become obsessed with the living. "Footprints in the Snow" shows that war can be hell in an entirely different way. The strange abbey in the forest can never be a sanctury for anyone. 
These three stories have everything for the true horror fan - ghosts, zombies, and terrifying mysteries from beyond the grave.

    “This impressively bleak vision of the near future is as grotesquely amusing as it is grim.” — Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW
		 
 “A gripping tour-de-force torn from tomorrow’s headlines.” — David Demchuk, author of Red X and The Bone Mother
		 
“A bold dystopian novel that captivates with its dread and depth. The Marigold is unhinged literary horror that goes right to the source of decay.” — Iain Reid, award-winning author of I’m Thinking of Ending Things, Foe, and We Spread
		 
In a near-future Toronto buffeted by environmental chaos and unfettered development, an unsettling new lifeform begins to grow beneath the surface, feeding off the past.
		 
The Marigold, a gleaming Toronto condo tower, sits a half-empty promise: a stack of scuffed rental suites and undelivered amenities that crumbles around its residents as a mysterious sludge spreads slowly through it. Public health inspector Cathy Jin investigates this toxic mold as it infests the city’s infrastructure, rotting it from within, while Sam “Soda” Dalipagic stumbles on a dangerous cache of data while cruising the streets in his Camry, waiting for his next rideshare alert. On the outskirts of downtown, 13-year-old Henrietta Brakes chases a friend deep underground after he’s snatched into a sinkhole by a creature from below.
		 
All the while, construction of the city’s newest luxury tower, Marigold II, has stalled. Stanley Marigold, the struggling son of the legendary developer behind this project, decides he must tap into a hidden reserve of old power to make his dream a reality — one with a human cost.
		 
Weaving together disparate storylines and tapping into the realms of body horror, urban dystopia, and ecofiction, The Marigold explores the precarity of community and the fragile designs that bind us together.

    "At the Mountains of Madness" is a chilling tale of cosmic horror by H. P. Lovecraft, blending science fiction, adventure, and terror. The story follows an Antarctic expedition led by geologist William Dyer, whose academic curiosity turns into a harrowing descent into the unknown.   
As the team uncovers ancient, non-human ruins buried beneath the icy wastelands, they unravel the secrets of a lost civilization whose influence predates humanity. What begins as a scientific journey becomes a desperate struggle for survival when they awaken forces beyond comprehension.   
With vivid descriptions of the unforgiving Antarctic landscape and a mounting sense of dread, Lovecraft crafts a tale that explores the limits of human knowledge and the existential terror of encountering beings far older and more powerful than mankind. A cornerstone of weird fiction, "At the Mountains of Madness" continues to captivate readers with its haunting atmosphere and enduring sense of cosmic mystery.
