Synopsis

'Must-Read Halloween Books' presents an amalgam of haunting narratives that delve into the supernatural, the mysterious, and the macabre. This anthology boasts a diverse array of literary styles, from the psychological terror of Henry James to the Gothic horrors of Bram Stoker, and the unsettling folkloric tales of Algernon Blackwood. Encapsulating the spirit of Halloween, the collection spans the spectral fictions of the 18th century to the eerie tales of the early 20th century, providing a comprehensive look at the evolution of horror and ghost literature, and including seminal pieces that have shaped the genre. The authors represented in this collection are titans of English literature and pioneers of the horror and mystery genres. Figures such as Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft, whose works have defined and refined the contours of horror, contribute to the anthology's depth. The inclusion of less overtly horrifying, yet equally perturbing stories by Mark Twain and Thomas Hardy, adds layers of psychological intrigue and cultural commentary, reflecting the complex societal anxieties of their times. 'Must-Read Halloween Books' is an essential compendium for aficionados and new readers alike, offering a unique panorama of the most chilling literature. Each story is a gateway into the unexplored corridors of human fear and fascination with the supernatural. This collection not only entertains but also provides a profound understanding of the historical and cultural contexts in which these stories were written, making it a valuable resource for both literary scholars and casual readers interested in the roots and evolution of the horror genre.

    “Please let me know when you would like to make the rejection official." Her words hit me like a ton of bricks and despite her acting like the words she just said were nothing important
     
     "Would you like to do it now?" While my head screams yes, my heart burns begging me to say no. How can I go from never wanting my little mate to feeling so torn up at the idea of her leaving? I always assumed that I would meet her and reject her without a care but now that the reality of the situation is staring me right in the face I know that it won't be easy, not one bit.
     
    Alpha Nicholas is 28, mateless, and has no interest in changing that. This year, it's his turn to host the annual Blue Moon Ball, and the last thing his wolf expects is to find his mate. Even more shocking is that his mate is 10 years younger—and he can’t ignore how his body reacts to her. He tries to fight the bond, but his world unravels when his guards capture two she-wolves running through his territory.
     
    Bonnie has been broken by those closest to her, including her own twin sister. Together with her best friend Lilly, they plan to escape during the Blue Moon Ball, hosted by another pack. But when things go wrong, they’re left uncertain about their future.
     
    When they’re brought to Alpha Nicholas, he faces his little mate again and uncovers secrets that will make him want to kill more than one person. Can Alpha Nicholas stop fighting the bond and accept a mate much younger than him? Will Bonnie want him after feeling the sting of his unofficial rejection? Can they both let go of their pasts, or will fate keep them apart?
     
    Note: Book 3 in the tetralogy series of the full edition (Chapters 73–103).

    A star quarterback with a legacy to uphold. A fiery activist with a past to avenge. The line between love and hate is about to snap.
     
    Caelen "Cael" Holt has spent his life a pawn in his family’s game, a golden boy with a secret. He's a star quarterback with a cold exterior, and the only thing he craves is to escape. But his carefully constructed world is shattered when a campus protest pits him against the one person who sees right through his carefully crafted mask: Rhys Thorne.
     
    Rhys Thorne is driven by a need for justice, fueled by a deep-seated anger at the company that ruined his family. He sees Cael as the physical embodiment of the corruption he despises. So when fate forces them into the same dorm room, their rivalry explodes into a war of words, turning their shared space into a tense battlefield.
     
    But in the quiet hours after the shouting, something else begins to simmer beneath the surface—a raw, undeniable attraction that defies logic. As their feud becomes a public spectacle, Rhys and Cael are forced to choose between the roles they’ve always played and a partnership that could change everything.
     
    Step into the visceral, high-stakes world of Brutal Desires, a story where genuine connection can break down the most deeply ingrained biases. Told in a dual first-person point of view, you'll feel the sting of their witty insults, the heat of their rising tension, and the raw, vulnerable power of their love. For fans of enemies-to-lovers romance who crave a story with a powerful political backdrop, this book is for you.
     
    Will their brutal pasts be their undoing, or will they finally find a future worth fighting for? Find out in Brutal Desires.
