Synopsis

A collection of four horror novels by Doug Lamoreux, now in one volume!

Saucy Jacky: Come into the East End of London, England, in the year 1888. Walk through the streets of Whitechapel and slums of Spitalfields, side by side with history's most notorious serial killer. Overhear his plans, and listen - or try not to - to his secret thoughts as he waits in the shadows. Keep pace, if you have the nerve, as he stalks his victims. Watch, if you have the stomach, as he commits his outrages. Run with him, if you're still upright, as he escapes the swarming forces of police desperate for his hide and head. These are the Whitechapel murders, as told by Jack the Ripper himself.

The Devil's Bed: While touring a ruined castle in France, Brandy Petracus is led to the unhallowed graveyard of Templar knights executed for practicing black magic. Long forgotten by the world, this ancient cemetery is known to the locals as the Devil's Bed, and its occupants do not rest in peace. Brandy soon finds herself the leader of an eclectic group besieged by resurrected Templar knights - craving their blood. Vampirism, madness, dark humor and flashbacks to 14th century Paris tell Brandy's story of commitment, trust and sacrifice, as she is forced to hole up in an ancient chapel with her friends and fight for survival. Even then, the Devil's Bed has yet to surrender all of its secrets.

The Melting Dead: Everything they grab catches fire. Everyone they touch dies. Everything they kill comes back from the dead. A secluded Mississippi River island is the perfect vacation getaway... until the space rocks land. An innocent family is killed by searing radiation. That same cosmic force returns Dad, sis, and the two boys from the grave. But they're deteriorating quickly; melting away. Only flesh and blood can save them. Oh, look. Here come the tourists! It's a B-movie between book covers; a roller-coaster ride of terror to burst your heart with fear and make your sides ache with laughter.

"...one of the best zombie stories I have read..." - Peter Schwotzer, Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine-

When The Tik-Tik Sings: In a sleepy historical Iowa town, the strangest serial killer the world has ever known is roaming at will. It begins with a mysterious house explosion, a severely burned man, and an unidentified female body. More victims follow, each killed under the oddest circumstances, each bearing an identical but unidentified wound, each attack accompanied by the most eerie, musical ticking. When the lead homicide investigator goes missing, Police Sergeant Erin Vanderjagt is forced into the fray and into a personal hell she could have never imagined. But what can Erin do, where can she go, how can she fight the horror... When The Tik-Tik Sings?

Throne of Shadow and Soul -...

Pamela Zych

In the fractured city of Aethelburg, a rigid order of light-wielders, the Lumina, reigns from gleaming spires while crushing the shadow-wielding Umbral in the grimy warrens below. For Molly White, an orphan of the dark, survival is a daily battle fought with forbidden power. For Argent Guard Captain Dylan Hodges, she is a heretic to be purged. They are enemies, bound by a history of hatred and a thousand-year-old lie. 
But when a magical explosion leaves Dylan tainted by the very shadow-magic he despises, his world of black and white shatters. He can suddenly see both Lux and Nox—the light and the darkness—and with this terrible new sight comes a horrifying revelation. A fanatical leader is preparing a "purification" ritual that won't cleanse the city, but annihilate it. An ancient prophecy speaks of a Fulcrum, a power to unite both forces, and it points not to one savior, but to two mortal enemies. 
To save their city, Molly and Dylan must forge an impossible alliance. Plunged into a desperate race against time, they are hunted by Dylan’s own father and a legion of zealots. Their only hope lies in mastering their combined powers and confronting a catastrophic storm of uncontrolled magic that was once Molly’s dearest friend. They must become the balance their world has forgotten, or be the final witnesses to its oblivion.

The Hawthorne Witch

A.L. Hawke

Sometimes I'd rather shield my eyes than see darkness in light. 
It was my senior year at Hawthorne University when everything fell apart. I mean, all my witch friends got along fine—sort of. But I was nervous about my love life. I just had to get into Hawthorne's graduate program, because my boyfriend was going to be a professor. I didn't want to lose him. I didn't want to lose anyone. 
And things got weirder. A witch was threatened with sacrificial murder. Another witch spent all day murmuring to herself, in the center of a circle of candles, on a pentagram she painted in her dorm room. It all pointed to the wicked witch of the Abaddon coven. If I was right, it might just take a full-fledged witch showdown to stop her. 
So? Bring it on. What did I have to lose? Just everyone I love. And maybe my soul. 
The Hawthorne Witch is Book 3 in the Hawthorne University Witch Series. The books in this series are complete self-contained novels not ending in cliffhangers. Some spoilers cannot be avoided, but this is a stand-alone novel that can be enjoyed without reading the other books in the series. 
Content warning: The Hawthorne Witch is a new adult college paranormal romance containing profanity, sexual scenes, adult situations, and, of course, witchcraft.
