The Summoning

F.G. Cottam

Sinossi

An archeology student in Scotland uncovers a sinister talisman that draws him into a world of terrifying black magic in this “well-crafted horror story” (Booklist).   On an archeological dig in a Scottish forest, college student Adam Parker unearths a mysterious metal artifact. But Professor Grayling, the dig coordinator, insists Adam must keep his discovery quiet. Because Grayling recognizes the amulet—and the strange creature depicted on it. It is a sign that Adam’s life is about to change forever.   Summoned to fulfil his destiny, Adam is introduced to a dark shadow world that exists alongside our own. An epic, unseen battle has been waged there for centuries. Now Adam must join the fray, and face the ultimate test. For within that shadow world lurks Rabanus Bloor, the man who has sworn to seek out Adam and destroy him—whatever it takes.   “Horror fans will certainly be entertained by the story, which will remind some of the works of Graham Masterton.” —Booklist

Withered

A.G.A. Wilmot

A queer paranormal horror novel in the style of showrunner Mike Flannagan, showing the complex real-life terror inherent in grief and mental illness
		 
After the tragic death of their father and surviving a life-threatening eating disorder, 18-year-old Ellis moves with their mother to the small town of Black Stone, seeking a simpler life and some space to recover. But Black Stone feels off; it’s a disquieting place surrounded by towns with some of the highest death rates in the country. It doesn’t help that everyone says Ellis’s new house is haunted — everyone including Quinn, a local girl who has quickly captured Ellis's attention. And Ellis has started to believe what people are saying: they see pulsing veins in their bedroom walls and specters in dark corners of the cellar. Together, Ellis and Quinn dig deep into Black Stone’s past and soon discover that their town, and Ellis’s house in particular, is the battleground in a decades-long spectral war, one that will claim their family — and the town — if it’s allowed to continue.
		 
Withered is queer psychological horror, a compelling tale of heartache, loss, and revenge that tackles important issues of mental health in the way that only horror can: by delving deep into them, cracking them open, and exposing their gruesome entrails.
