    The Saturnalia carnival marks three years since Nina walked away from Philadelphia's elite Saturn Club—with its genteel debauchery, arcane pecking order, and winking interest in alchemy and the occult. In doing so, she abandoned her closest friends and her chance to climb the social ladder. Since then, she's eked out a living by telling fortunes with her Saturn Club tarot deck, a solemn initiation gift that Nina always considered a gag but has turned out to be more useful than she could have ever imagined. 
     
     
     
    For most, the Saturnalia carnival marks a brief winter reprieve for the beleaguered people of the historic city, which is being eroded by extreme weather, a collapsing economy, and feverish summers—whose disease carrying mosquitos are perhaps the only thing one can count on. Like Thanksgiving or Halloween, Saturnalia has become a purely American holiday despite its pagan roots; and nearly everyone, rich or poor, forgets their troubles for a moment. 
     
      
     
    For Nina, Saturnalia is simply a cruel reminder of the night that changed everything for her. But when she gets a chance call from Max, one of the Saturn Club's best-connected members and her last remaining friend, the favor he asks will plunge her back into the Club's wild solstice masquerade, on a mysterious errand she cannot say no to.

    Dimitri's inherited legacy holds more secrets than either of them expected after the original fiasco with the spell book. His father may not remember anything about Alaska, thanks to the blood magic potion, but that won't stop him from removing his son out of the way at any cost. 
     
     
     
    To make matters worse, wedding plans are in full swing that bring to light unwillingly given promise that appears set in stone. 
     
     
     
    Alaska's determination has no bounds. If she could steal someone's magic, there must be a way to steal a falsely taken oath. All she had to do is find the right spell.

    In a remote mountain village, debt-collector Durwood finds himself troubled by conflicting memories when he is tasked with claiming the old windmill property of the mysteriously vanished professor Rohr. This is a short story about certain kinds of 'ghosts', and the unsettling ways in which they can play a strange part in our past and future. 
    The story was written back in 2004 but never published. Now, twenty years later, it has been dusted off and polished to coincide with the release of S.M. Thygesen's new novel 'Burning Bright'. 'Haunting Infinity' is a distinct story, set in the 1950'ies, many years before the events of 'Burning Bright', but there is a connection in terms of the origin of some tech and a founding character, who will also be making a brief appearance at the end of the new novel.

    Everyone has secrets, some deadlier than others. Psychic Ryley St. James's secrets threaten to kill her, and now both the living and the dead are out for blood. 
     
     
     
    There's nothing that Ryley hates worse than her father, but serial killers rank a close second. Alive or dead, they're all the same—they need to be stopped. When a ghostly serial killer torments a young girl, Ryley must put an end to his reign of terror and figure out a way to shove him into the great beyond. 
     
     
     
    But when a fellow psychic turns up dead, and another one suddenly goes missing, Ryley suspects that it's not just the ghostly threats she needs to worry about. There's also a live predator lurking somewhere in the shadows. 
     
     
     
    As she gets closer to the truth, she's forced to confront her own personal demons. Her father's sinister presence is getting dangerously close to her life, the reapers are demanding answers, and the ghostly serial killer wants to add her to his body count. 
     
     
     
    It's not a matter of if she'll die but who will get credit for killing her first. 
     
     
     
    Can she keep it together long enough to battle the secrets from her past and deal with these new killers before it's too late?
