  For fans of Stephen King's The Mist and the HBO hit show The Last of Us comes a wildly inventive, sinister thriller following an estranged father and daughter who find themselves trapped in a diner by a living body of water. 
    
  Don't let the water drag you down … 
    
  It's been six years since Glen Masters lost his wife in a tragic accident. In hopes of reconnecting with his grieving teenage daughter, Lauren, he decides to take her on a road trip through the Appalachian mountains, where he has fond memories of their past as a family. But what was supposed to be a quick diner pit stop suddenly transforms into a nightmare when armed men stumble in, ranting about a mysterious and deadly "living water" that attacked several people up the road. The story the men spin seems to be the rantings of drunken lunatics, but soon Glen, his daughter, and the other diners find themselves hostages to both the gunmen and the inexplicably terrifying entity.  
    
  Because there's truly something wrong with the water, and it has no mercy. 
    
  Panic grows as the diners play witness to a nature-defying being that seeks only to swallow everything in its path. With help nowhere in sight, the group of strangers must work together to devise an escape, and ultimately, Glen will have to face his worst fears to reconcile with the past or risk losing everything. 
    
  A chilling story from a brand-new voice in fiction, Body of Water explores the complicated nature of grief, terror, and the ghosts we must confront to survive.

  It starts with a whisper. 
  Every night, just as the clock strikes three, Anna hears a voice on the other side of her bedroom door. Soft. Calm. Almost familiar. It calls her name, coaxing her to open it. She never does. 
  But when the whispers grow into conversations—when the voice begins to reveal things about her past she’s never told anyone—Anna starts to question her own mind. Is she sleep-deprived? Losing her grip on reality? Or has something found a way in? 
  As the nights stretch on and the boundaries between waking and nightmare blur, Anna realizes the voice isn’t alone. And it isn’t waiting anymore. It’s getting closer. 
  The Voice Behind My Door is a spine-tingling psychological horror that asks: how do you fight the darkness when it already knows your name?

  A fog-shrouded train. A vanished passenger. A truth that defies the living. 
  When William Langford boards the 4:15 express on a damp December evening, he expects nothing more than a quiet journey to his friend’s country estate. But his solitary compartment is unexpectedly intruded upon by a familiar traveler — a reserved, pale-faced gentleman carrying a heavy deed-box and an unsettling air. 
  By the time the train slows into Blackwater station, the stranger disappears into the swirling mist. And then — he is gone. Not merely from sight, but from the world. 
  Langford soon learns the unthinkable: the man he shared the compartment with died months before. His arrival at Dumbleton Manor sets off shock, whispers, and a chilling realization that reason cannot explain. 
  Driven by duty — and haunted by what he saw — Langford becomes entwined in a mystery that bridges the natural and the supernatural. What begins as a polite Victorian travel tale unravels into a ghostly investigation, a financial scandal, and a murder buried beneath brambles, secrets, and time. 
  Amelia B. Edwards delivers one of the finest railway ghost mysteries of the Victorian age — a tale steeped in cold iron, lamplight, and a chilling question that echoes long after the final page: 
  What travels with us when justice has not yet been served? 
  Perfect for fans of M.R. James, Charles Dickens’ ghost stories, and Sherlock Holmes-era intrigue. 
  Narrated with atmospheric depth by Jason Miller.
