To Dye For

Greta Boris

Imogene's client has a special request. The only hitch is, the client is dead. 
 
 
 
It's an ordinary day at Harry's Hair Stop until Imogene hears her favorite client's dying wish. Two days later, she finds herself in the embalming room at Greener Pastures Mortuary, bottle of hair dye and scissors in hand. 
 
 
 
Styling her client's hair for the funeral is creepy. She'd expected that. But she hadn't expected the body to buzz like it was loaded with corpse caffeine. Was it her imagination, or was something more sinister at play? Determined to prove her sanity, she teams up with the mortuary's handsome night watchman to investigate. 
 
 
 
Through a series of hair-raising twists, they discover the client's death, just like her hair color, wasn't as natural as everyone thought. In fact, this was only one in a string of murders. Someone is killing off the residents of Liberty Grove. It's up to Imogene to find the murderer before the murderer finds her. 
 
 
 
If you can imagine Agatha Raisin as a twenty-something, rockabilly, hairstylist with a weird connection to the dead, this book is for you.

The Sea Raiders

H. G. Wells

Terror rises from the deep in this gripping maritime horror from the master of early science fiction. 
When a retired tea-dealer named Mr. Fison takes a casual afternoon walk along the cliffs of Sidmouth, he expects nothing more than sea breeze and sunshine. Instead, he becomes the first living witness to a new species — a swarm of massive, intelligent, and shockingly aggressive cephalopods known as Haploteuthis ferox. What begins as curiosity quickly spirals into a frantic fight for survival as these tentacled predators crawl out of the surf, hunt along the tide pools, and launch deadly attacks on boats, swimmers, and the unprepared towns along the coast. 
Blending scientific speculation with relentless suspense, H. G. Wells delivers a chilling tale of nature unchecked — a reminder that the ocean still holds secrets powerful enough to swallow humanity whole. With vivid performances by narrator Salathiel Reagan, this classic short story comes alive with atmospheric dread and pulse-pounding tension. 
Perfect for fans of sea monsters, Victorian horror, and classic speculative fiction.
