Prot has incredible insights into how to cure that suffering, and his radical ideas have made him a celebrity. Now, legions of people are longing to follow him home.But Dr. Brewer has heard it before. Five years ago, he discovered another person buried deep in prot's personality: Robert Porter of Montana.

    Suspended in mid-air high above the planet, the stratoship Perseus should still be moving—but it isn’t. Meteorologist Lawton and his crew find themselves trapped in a silent, motionless bubble of sky, where the clouds have frozen beneath them and the air outside has become a strange, alien theatre. Inside the ship, tensions mount, minds unravel, and something unseen creeps across the outer hull in creeping tendrils of life. 
    In this golden-age thriller from Frank Belknap Long, the fight isn’t just for survival against a terrifying alien vegetation; it’s a battle of human instincts, fragile alliances and the terror of staring into the unknown. As hours stretch into endless moments, Lawton must face what it means to live when the world won’t move—and what it means to stay sane when reality itself begins to shift. 
    With a haunting narration by Phil Thompson, this edition immerses you in a high-altitude nightmare where the sky becomes a trap, and the only escape may lie deep inside the human heart.

    I'm Sam, the werewolf book nerd owner of The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore & Bar. Clive, Fergus, and I are moving into our new home, the business is going well, and our folly is taking shape. The problem? Clive's maker Garyn is coming to San Francisco for a visit, and this reunion has been a thousand years in the making. Back then, Garyn was rather put out when Clive accepted the dark kiss and then took off to avenge his sister's murder. And now, Garyn has had plenty of time to align her forces. 
     
     
     
    Stheno and her sisters are adding to their rather impressive portfolio of businesses around the world by acquiring The Viper's Nest Roadhouse & Café. Medusa found the place when she was visiting San Francisco. A dive bar filled with hot tattooed bikers? Yes, please! 
     
     
     
    Clive and I will need neutral territory for our meeting with Garyn, and a biker bar should fit the bill. I'd assumed my necromancy would give us an advantage. I hadn't anticipated, though, just how powerful Garyn and her allies were. When the fangs descend and the heads start rolling, it's going to take every friend we have and a nocturne full of vamps at our backs to even the playing field.
