  The war for truth rages across the centuries in this page-turning, suspenseful Christian fantasy on the border between earth and spirit. 
  When the battle with the hive ended in flames, the village Oneness expected to pick up life where they left off.  
  But fire does not leave anyone unscathed. Haunted by images and desperate to know the truth about her destiny, April wrestles with inner demons that threaten to cut her off from those she loves most.  
  Meanwhile, Andrew Hunter faces life with a wife and daughter he does not know—a wife whose resurrection has made her more than a stranger to him. 
  Six hundred years before, Teresa is equally embattled as questions of life, death, and revelation bring her to the edge of the greatest war of all: the war for humanity’s soul. 
  As their stories converge, the Oneness across the ages must press into the Spirit they hardly know, with only one certain promise: 
  From the ashes, truth will rise. 
  RISE is the fifth book in The Oneness Cycle, an urban fantasy series of spiritual warfare novels. If you love page-turning suspense, heart-pounding plotting, and fiction that unveils truth, this series is for you.

  "He had realised with an abrupt sense of shock that her eyes had no pupils in them; they were just two round white spheres that seemed to be growing bigger and bigger as he watched." Welcome to Little Monsters, a collection of short stories united only by their celebration of the macabre. Meet Ginnie, a little girl whose Halloween escapades get somewhat out of hand. Meet David, a would-be film star who really is prepared to give everything he has in order to secure that big break; and meet Margaret, a lonely old widow who unwittingly welcomes a terrible evil into her life… Here are stories to chill your blood and disturb your sleep. Be warned… if you are of a nervous disposition… if you are of a fanciful nature… if you're the kind who sometimes imagines you can hear footsteps downstairs in the dead of night… these adult stories are not for you. Skilfully crafted illustrations by Sean Steele, reminiscent of graphic novel art.

  Haunted Castles - The Complete...

  Ray Russell, Guillermo Del Toro

  Horror legend Ray Russell's haunting and macabre stories, including "perhaps the finest example of the modern Gothic ever written" (Stephen King), with a foreword by acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro. Haunted Castles is the definitive, complete collection of Ray Russell's masterful Gothic horror stories, including the famously terrifying novella trio of "Sardonicus," "Sanguinarius," and "Sagittarius." The characters that sprawl through Haunted Castles are frightful to the core: the heartless monster holding two lovers in limbo; the beautiful dame journeying down a damned road toward depravity (with the help of an evil gypsy); the man who must wear his fatal crimes on his face in the form of an awful smile. Engrossing, grotesque, and completely entrancing, Russell's Gothic tales are the best kind of dreadful.
