    Residents had long forgotten the shocking events of the summer of 1972. Until someone moved into Old Lady Ketchel’s derelict home on 33 Tailings Way. 
    It had been 25 years since Old Lady Ketchel’s reign of terror ended, and the Slaughter family and empire met its fiery end. Enough time for residents to purge the town of the Slaughter monarchy, and any vestige of the family’s past influence or existence. Or so they thought. Little did they know that Enoch Slaughter, Jr. had fathered a baby boy with a teenage stripper just before his demise. 
    Then there was Karen Garber and her baby Loralei, thought to be the product of her marriage to Enoch Slaughter IV. However, Karen knew the truth, which she took with her when she and Loralei fled Slaughter for greener pastures. But now, Loralei was a young adult with questions about the identity of her birth father. Something her mother vowed never to divulge. 
    So when Loralei returned to what used to be Slaughter and moved into the ramshackle eyesore that had been Old Lady Ketchel’s home, residents became nervous. It had stood vacant and neglected for a quarter of a century. Not because the townspeople hadn’t thought to bulldoze it and create a nice, quiet green space. It’s just that every time a demolition crew stepped foot onto the property, some tragedy would befall them. Eventually, they gave up trying to rid the town of the one last remnant from Slaughter’s tumultuous past. 
    Why had Loralei moved back to town and into Old Lady Ketchel’s house? Would she come to some misfortune, like the demolition crews? Or was her distant connection to the town’s chaotic past a harbinger of calamities to come? 
    Loralei’s Siren Song is a sequel to the Slaughter Minnesota horror series. Just when you thought the chaos was over!

    Weird things dwell in the hidden corners of Britain: subterranean beasts, extradimensional entities, resurrected ghouls, and spectral vampires. And there are weird places, too. Beyond the veil of the waking world, lie realms of secrets, domains of madness. So begins the saga, of Peter Van Melsen... 
    The tall, gaunt and mysterious Van Melsen was born out of Ian’s love of occult detective fiction—Algernon Blackwood’s John Silence and William Hope Hodgson’s Thomas Carnacki being among his favourite paranormal investigators. 
    “The old Hammer Horror actors were a big influence, too,” says Ian. “I’ve always envisioned Van Melsen as the amalgam of Peter Cushing and Roddy McDowall. Duncan Kay’s wonderful cover illustration captures this perfectly.” 
    The six stories within serve to introduce the reader to the peculiar P. I., whilst sewing the seeds for future volumes, of which there will be several…
