  The Willows by Algernon Blackwood is a haunting masterpiece of early supernatural fiction, blending psychological horror with the eerie majesty of nature. Set along the remote banks of the Danube River, the novella follows two travelers whose peaceful canoe journey turns into a terrifying encounter with unseen forces lurking in the marshlands. As the willows seem to shift and whisper with unnatural intent, the boundary between reality and another dimension begins to dissolve. Atmospheric, suspenseful, and deeply unsettling, this story is a foundational work of weird fiction that profoundly influenced authors like H.P. Lovecraft.

  Psychological horror meets police procedural in this chilling tale about a rare quirk of the funeral industry. 
  When Abby Carlson’s job as a dietitian comes to mind now, it’s accompanied by a looming threat: the Minneapolis serial killer who’s been targeting women based on the first letter of their jobs, and who’s ripe to pick a “D” victim. He follows his gruesome routine—preserving and posing the corpses per their professions, then posting his exploits on social media. But the threat is abstract in a city as big as Minneapolis…until Abby finds herself drugged in the back of a van, the latest potential viral hit. 
  In response to the kidnapping, Detective Cal Randall is called back early from mandated medical leave. Working with the FBI, he’s been on the trail of the “Profession Killer” since the start. Despite what’s become crippling anxiety he still has to work to control, there’s no choice about where he needs to be. A demented killer must be stopped, and Abby—the last of PK’s remaining letters—must be saved.

  The dead man had lived a mean and spiteful life fueled by hate and malice. He died alone still savoring his anger and resentments against all humans, no friends or relations in his decrepit house that was as far from neighbors as he could get it, deep in the woods. But the custom of sitting up with a corpse the first night is engrained in you as the right thing to do. With no friends or relations, the doctor asks you to do it, unless of course you are afraid. Scoffing at this superstitious faddle you agree. And so, as the night comes on and midnight approaches you find yourself alone with a corpse just a few feet away from you and only a small lamp for light. The corpses' eyes for some reason are open. And looking directly at you.

  ALL EVIL HAS A BEGINNING... THIS IS HOW SMYTHE BECAME SMYTHE... 
   
  Many years before the horrific events at Styre House, a young girl named Lydia Smith discovers a mysterious set of books filled with dark powers. As she begins to learn the secrets of these books, however, she inadvertently unleashes powers beyond her wildest imagination, powers that shatter the barrier between life and death. 
   
  Trapped in a life of misery, Lydia has never thought much about the outside world. All she does every day is care for her sick mother and try to avoid her cruel, bitter father. Her new powers offer a way out, but first Lydia must learn to control the forces she has begun to summon. Fortunately she has help from a set of reanimated bones that rise from the garden, but can anything truly prepare Lydia for the terror that awaits? 
   
  And how does she end up as the bitter, monstrous creature that years later will rise from the dirt of Styre House? 
   
  The Curse of Bloodacre Farm is the second audiobook in a trilogy about a remote, abandoned English cottage that still bears the scars of its terrifying past, and about an evil creature that lurks in the shadows and waits for its chance to pounce. This audiobook ends on a cliffhanger.

  In the days of the Purge the tides of death swallowed all that was holy, but now Velspar is on the verge of revival. 
  Sybilla Ladain survived her judgement and is now caught between her duty as Skalen and her growing entanglement with the rebels she once considered her enemies. Voirrey takes Sybilla to a little village in the mountains where they plan to start a religious community based on the old rites. In Avishae, Intercessor Maeryn is working with the Elshenders to do the same. 
  But with the rise of the Guard and its factions, traditional seats of power cease to hold their value. The revival depends upon the will of the Skalens but without the Guard at their side, no Skalen is safe. 
  "Black Stream's feverish prose will transport you to a realm of psychic synesthesia that is at once fantastical but also a mirror of our own world: full of dark secrets and emotional phenomena. [Balstrup's] characters are deeply developed, her world so tangible you can taste the sacrificial blood, and her narrative set on an arc of spiritually epic proportions. This is fantasy of transcendental scope and exquisite execution." --Joseph Sale, author of The Book of Thrice Dead and Virtue's End
