The Vampire of Kings Street - A...

Asha Greyling

Miss Radhika Dhingra, a newly minted lawyer in nineteenth century New York, never expected that her first client would be a vampire accused of murder. 
 
 
 
Having a resident vampire is just the thing for upper-class New Yorkers—besides being a status symbol, they make excellent butlers or housekeepers. The only thing they require in return is a drop or two of blood and a casket to shut out the dawn's early light. 
 
 
 
Tolerated by society only if they follow a strict set of rules, vampires are seen as "less than"—and as the daughter of immigrants, Radhika knows firsthand how this feels. Accused of murder, her undead client Mr. Evelyn More, knows that the cards are stacked against him. 
 
 
 
With the help of a journalist friend and a diminutive detective inspector, Miss Dhingra sets out to prove her client's innocence and win his freedom. Failure will mean Mr. More's death, the end of her dreams of becoming a successful attorney, and the loss of the vampire Miss Dhingra has begun to call her friend. 
 
 
 
Offering an alternative paranormal history, delightful characters, and insightful social commentary, The Vampire of Kings Street will thrill fans of Deanna Rayburn and Rebecca Roanhorse.

Gruesome Ghosts - A Short Story...

Rudyard Kipling, Sheridan Le...

At some point in our lives we believe that creak, that low moan, that whisper is something unnatural, beyond our comprehension.  And in these stories our instincts are right. We are afraid. And we should be.  Perhaps even terrified.   In this volume our classic authors take different approaches but the result is inevitably the same. We are hooked by these unknowable forces, our emotions heightened and rattled by the expectation  - or shock – of the next few words.

Renee George

A disgruntled bear fiancé. A wanted familiar. A hairless cat named Lonnie. For Hazel Kinsey, it's just another day in Paradise Falls. 
 
 
 
When Hazel's familiar Tizzy the Squirrel fell in love with another familiar, they had no idea her furry pal would gain witch magic. 
 
 
 
Apparently, that's a big no-no for the High Familiar Clowder, the council who rules all familiars. When the Clowder shows up in Paradise Falls to decommission Tizzy and send her to the in-between, Haze defies the stick-in-the-butt jerkfaces by refusing to trade in Tiz for a new familiar. 
 
 
 
But the Clowder means business. They strip Hazel of her magic, leaving her no better than a human. Worst of all, she's lost the mating scent she shared with her bear-beau, the hunky-handsome Ford Baylor. Without it or her witch powers, she can never be a real mate for him. 
 
 
 
With only seventy-two hours to find a solution to her familiar and fiancé problems, Hazel and pals must find a way to stop the Clowder, get Hazel witchified again, save Tizzy and her true love, and oh yeah, battle sinister forces intent on glomming as much power as possible. 
 
 
 
Yep. Just another day in Paradise Falls.
