  Do you dare to question what’s real, who’s in charge—and what they’re willing to sacrifice to stay there? 
  Think Fargo meets Fight Club, with a dash of Bad Monkey and a side of Dexter. This story delivers sharp commentary and strange bedfellows: sophisticated internationalists, drone pilots in bunny slippers, assassins on banana seat bikes, and network news anchors with God complexes. 
  Meet Leroy O’Malley of Apalachicola, Florida: a naive and hopeful dreamer. All he wanted was a shot at the good life—a steady job, maybe even a dental plan.  
  This is the story of a man who made the mistake of believing the lies we are all told.  
  Always down on his luck, a chance encounter with a foul-mouthed - though oddly charismatic - out-of-towner at a roadside oyster shack suddenly launches Leroy on the fast-track to the life he’s always wanted.  
  But as the stakes rise, he finds himself swept into a tangled mess of black ops, corrupt officials, and media puppeteers who see him as the perfect fall guy. He thought he was chasing purpose and a 401K plan—until purpose chased him back with a surgical saw and an igloo cooler. 
  Will he choose himself or America?  
  The only way to find out is to read the series.

  The peace of a Midlands village is upset when local businessman Harry Bowers doesn’t return from choir practice. 
   
  More concerned than the man’s own wife, it would seem, investigating officer Detective Sergeant Sunita Roy becomes convinced he has been done away with. 
   
  But there is no trace of the man, just a litany of evidence of an ailing marriage and a nose-diving business venture. 
  In charge of her first serious case, DS Roy will struggle to win the respect of her colleagues – in particular her Brummie boss, DCI Gavin Roscoe. All that whilst fighting off the intentions of an increasingly desperate suitor. 
   
  Who had it in for the budding chorister? And is Roy tough enough to break down the defences and prejudices of Middle England?

  🌽 The annual Harvest Festival at Old Mill Farm is a beloved tradition, complete with pumpkin patches, apple cider, and a famously intricate corn maze. But the festivities take a terrifying turn when the farm's owner, a man with a knack for making enemies, is found dead in the center of the maze, propped up like a scarecrow. The police suspect a tragic accident, but city-transplant-turned-farmhand Lark Lennox notices the scene is staged. The real scarecrow is missing, and a single, ominous black feather is clutched in the victim's hand. When Lark's own past connection to the victim makes her a suspect, she must navigate the twisting paths of the maze—and the even more twisted relationships in the town—to clear her name. With help from her perceptive barn cat, Husk, and the farm owner's enigmatic grandson, Lark uncovers a field of secrets. From disputed land rights and hidden family legacies to a local legend about a phantom scarecrow that supposedly haunts the cornfields, the roots of this crime run deep. As the festival reaches its climax, Lark must separate folklore from fact before the killer decides to make her the next harvest horror.

  The majestic Inishowen Peninsula shore—home to dangerous and unpredictable currents 
   
   
   
  A woman's body washes up on a remote beach on the Inishowen Peninsula. Partially clothed, with a strange tattoo on her thigh, she is identified as Marguerite Etienne, a French woman who has been living in the area. Solicitor Ben (Benedicta) O'Keeffe is consumed by guilt: for the second time in her life Ben has failed someone who needed her, with tragic consequences. 
   
   
   
  When local sergeant Tom Molloy dismisses Marguerite's death as the suicide of a disturbed and lonely woman, Ben cannot let it lie. Ben uncovers Marguerite's strange past as a member of a French doomsday cult, which she escaped twenty years previously, but not without leaving her baby daughter behind. Disturbed by what appears to be chilling local indifference to Marguerite's death, Ben pieces together the last few weeks of the French woman's life in Inishowen. 
   
   
   
  What she discovers causes her to question the fragile nature of her own position in the area, and she finds herself crossing boundaries—both personal and professional—to unearth local secrets long buried.

  On Ghosts

  Mary Shelley

  "We all believe in ghosts, even if we say we don't."
  
  In this atmospheric and intellectually sharp essay, Mary Shelley explores the universal human fascination with the spectral world. Rather than a simple collection of scares, "On Ghosts" examines the psychological "vibration" we feel when we hear a tale of the uncanny. Shelley recounts eerie anecdotes from her own travels and social circles, questioning whether ghosts are external entities or reflections of our own inner anxieties. With her characteristic blend of haunting imagery and rational inquiry, she invites readers to consider why we seek out the very things that terrify us most.
  
  The Psychology of Fear: Shelley argues that the belief in ghosts is rooted in our deepest emotions—specifically our inability to let go of the dead. She explores the idea that the "ghosts" we see are often the products of a heightened imagination or a guilty conscience, making the supernatural a deeply personal experience.
  
  A Bridge Between Science and Spirit: Writing during a time when science was beginning to challenge ancient superstitions, Shelley positions herself as a skeptical yet open observer. She doesn't just ask if ghosts exist, but why the human soul seems to require them to make sense of the world's mysteries.
  
  A Must-Read for Horror Fans: For anyone who has ever felt a shiver down their spine in an empty room, this essay provides a profound "why." It is an essential companion piece to Frankenstein, revealing the theoretical foundations of Shelley's fictional nightmares.
