  "Midnight what Happened," asked a policeman offhandedly of an oddly dressed man who looked like a stage magician in blue wearing a mask. 
  "Are you mad there was a school shooting," said Midnight looking slightly greenish. 
  "No I just got here," said the policeman, "is anyone else here?" 
  "Dante, and Dark Starlight," said Midnight offhandedly. 
  "Don't you mean Dark Star?" said the policeman. 
  "No Starlight she's Dante's wife the Marchioness of Mars," 
  said Midnight. 
  The policeman laughed. "The Martianess of Mars are you kidding me?" 
  "What's so funny about my title?" a tall black-haired masked woman in a black suit said. 
  "Dark Starlight I take it," said the policeman nervously. 
  "Yes," said the woman insulted. 
  "Nice to meet you where is your husband?" asked the policeman. 
  "The Marquess of Mars is inside the building," said Starlight. 
  The policeman went inside the building to see her husband.

  Meet Jim Greene. 
  An ordinary detective constable trying 'not' to solve a murder. 
   
  The remote and isolated Cornish island of Gallymay was meant to be the perfect place for a break. But things don’t quite go to plan when Jim stumbles across a body on his first day. 
   
  Which is the last thing he needs. But it’s fine. He’ll call Devon and Cornwall Police. They’ll sort it out. 
   
  Except the storm, and the island, have other ideas. Cut off from the mainland during a mid-winter storm, Jim finds himself reluctantly thrust into a murder investigation, assisted by a ragtag group of well-meaning locals, in a chaotic, heartfelt, and often laugh-out-loud “almost” cosy mystery. 
   
  Told through police notebooks, witness statements, interview transcripts and body-worn video logs, Murder Crime on Gallymay blends pitch-perfect policing, with laugh-out-loud moments, heartwarming friendships, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the final page.

  Fans of Terry Pratchett and Shane Kuhn's THE INTERN'S HANDBOOK will love this noir supernatural thriller.
  Death needs a vacation. Badly. But there's a catch: There are people who cheat the system, always falling through the cracks and not dying like they're supposed to. Who's going to take care of them while Death's sipping on sangria?
  
  
  The answer is simple: Death needs an intern, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that one prospect, Buck Palasinksia—a bankrupt hitman with a roleplaying addiction—might have what it takes. While scoping out his next target, Buck gets drilled in the forehead by a bullet and falls right into Death's lap.
  
  
  If they shove him back into his body, he'll have a few weeks to prove that he has what it takes to be Death's right-hand.
  
  
  All he has to do is take out Public Enemy No. 1, John Dillinger, and quit smoking.

  "The Colour Out of Space" is a science fiction/horror short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft, written in March 1927. In the tale, an unnamed narrator pieces together the story of an area known by the locals as the "blasted heath" in the wild hills west of the fictional town of Arkham, Massachusetts. The narrator discovers that many years ago a meteorite crashed there, poisoning every living being nearby; vegetation grows large but foul tasting, animals are driven mad and deformed into grotesque shapes, and the people go insane or die one by one. Lovecraft began writing "The Colour Out of Space" immediately after finishing his previous short novel, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and in the midst of final revision on his horror fiction essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature". Seeking to create a truly alien life form, he drew inspiration from numerous fiction and nonfiction sources. First appearing in the September 1927 edition of Hugo Gernsback's science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, "The Colour Out of Space" became one of Lovecraft's most popular works, and remained his personal favorite of his short stories. It was adapted into feature films in 1965, 1987, 2010, and 2019

  Gear up for a frightful jaunt into the darkest reaches of the ancient Appalachians. 
  Folks deep within the Appalachian hollers lean close to the campfire to share stories of the inexplicable with hushed awe. Monsters rumbling in the hills. Strange lights darting through the pitch-black night sky. Horrible occurrences, almost ineffable in their bizarre tragedy. 
  "Tall tales," you might say. 
  Tell that to the Flatwoods monster in Braxton County, West Virginia. Or the Goat Man of Louisville—look into his humanoid eyes and let him know you don't believe. And what of those apparitions in Mammoth Cave's Corpse Rock, or the Satan-spawn known as the Jersey Devil that attacked a trolley car? How do you respond when confronted by these mysteries? 
  From metaphysical energy that swirls near the Serpent Mound in Ohio to Point Pleasant's Mothman legacy, Mark Muncy and Kari Schultz explore the dark history lurking in the shadows of Appalachia. 
  Ready by Mark Muncy, author and expert on the strange with appearances on shows such as Ancient Aliens, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, Return of Robert the Doll, and more!
