Sinopse

A Town of Ghosts is a collection of 19 original illustrated ghost stories set in the Buckinghamshire town of Stony Stratford in Milton Keynes. The stories are loosely inspired by the history, characters and landscape of the town; most have an element of dark humour, though several nod towards the cryptic, brooding tales of the great ghost story writer MR James. You will meet a host of bizarre and macabre characters such as the resentful decomposing corpse of Thomas Farrar residing at the bottom of ancient well in a coffee shop. Look out for Death rebranded and pushing a dust cart around the streets, gathering souls and finally meeting his match! As a compliment to the film Bladerunner there's even a futuristic tale of malicious robots plotting the downfall of their creators. The final story is a tongue-in-cheek attempt to present the author and illustrator as two decrepit characters seeking to complete an unfinished literary work! As a former archaeologist the author tries to weave an archaeological perspective into some of the stories, suggesting that change is not always progressive. Spooky but fun!

    In a retro-futuristic world where everyone has neural microchips, Detective Vos has worked his fair share of cases. But when a woman turns up dead under uncertain circumstances, the answer is simple—her chip holds everything leading up to her death. 
     
    Yet before Vos can access it, someone else makes a move. Someone willing to kill to have the data. Suddenly, Vos isn't just investigating a murder—he's trapped in a game he doesn't understand, where reality warps, sanity ruptures, and survival becomes paramount.

    The debut novel from viral horror sensation Brian Asman, Good Dogs is a heartfelt and harrowing story of survival, belonging, found family, and the lengths we’ll go to protect it. 
    No one ever said being a werewolf was easy. Take Delia, for instance. She’s spent much of her life fighting against her own nature, plagued by nightmares of childhood trauma, and trying to find her place in the world. Many werewolves are just like her: ostracized by their families, forced to live alone and in secret as they await those nights when the Change overtakes them. 
    Becoming the den mother to an odd bunch of lycanthropes in Southern California isn’t exactly the answer Delia was looking for. But under the strict rules of the house, they are able to manage the Change safely and hunt without endangering their San Diego suburb. And they aren’t lone wolves anymore, they’re a pack—a family. 
    But when one member’s carelessness leads to the discovery of a severed leg in their backyard, Delia and the rest of her family are forced to confront the cold, hard fact they’ve known all along—they don’t belong here. Their only option is to cover up the kill and head into the wilderness, far from people. There, hopefully, they can live out their lives without posing a threat to anyone else. 
    At home, they might’ve been apex predators. But in the wilds around Talbot—a town abandoned for a century—Delia and her pack aren’t the only ones with a savage bite …
