Chained

Raven Storm, Kacey Lee

Will a chain keep me captive or help set me free? 
 
 
 
I was lucky to escape my last pack with nothing but a few scars—a cheap price to pay for my freedom. 
 
 
 
It was supposed to be just another run to calm my wolf, but I wasn't going to ignore those cubs' screams for help—even if they were from a rival pack. What I didn't expect to find was a feral vampire, or the wolf who would change everything. 
 
 
 
The Alpha who caught me is like all the others—all raging temper and muscles. And yet . . . his pack is different than mine. 
 
 
 
But no matter how much my wolf cries 'mate', I need to break free. It's time I accept the truth: I don't belong anywhere. My wolf will never settle for anything less than she is, and no other wolf will accept what I am: 
 
 
 
Different, an anomaly . . . A female Alpha. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

A Darkness of the Heart

Gail Bowen

The 18th installment of the bestselling Joanne Kilbourn series from the “queen of Canadian crime fiction” (Winnipeg Free Press). 
When, at the age of sixty, Joanne learns that Douglas Ellard, the reserved general practitioner whom she had grown up believing to be her father was, in fact, the best friend of her biological father, the brilliant visual artist Desmond Love, she begins to question not just who she is but what factors play a role in shaping all of us and in making us who we really are. Joanne is offered the chance to revisit her family history, when writer Roy Brodnitz, author of The Happiest Girl, a Broadway mega-hit inspired by a Desmond Love painting, approaches her with the idea of making a mini-series about the close relationship between the Ellard and Love families. Brodnitz is in town working on the film adaptation of his Broadway hit, and he and his film company soon become a significant presence in the life of Joanne’s family, with results that are both life-changing and menacing. When Joanne and Zack’s eighteen-year-old daughter, Taylor Shreve, develops a close friendship with the seventeen-year-old actress starring in the movie, the Shreve family is exposed to the dark side of the film industry and they uncover disturbing truths about the handsome and talented people they have invited into their lives. A Darkness of the Heart explores the ways in which clear vision, generosity of spirit, and a willingness to love can combat the forces in our world that seek to encroach upon innocence. Once again, Gail Bowen’s powerful storytelling, engaging characters, and page-turning plot reaffirm her place as one of the finest mystery writers around.

The Black Stone

Robert E. Howard

"The Black Stone" is a short story by Robert E. Howard, first published in 1931, and is a classic example of cosmic horror. The story follows an unnamed narrator, an antiquarian and scholar, who becomes obsessed with an ancient monolith called the Black Stone after reading references to it in historical documents. The Black Stone is located in a remote region of Hungary, where strange and disturbing events have been associated with it for centuries. Intrigued, the narrator embarks on a journey to investigate the mysterious artifact.Upon reaching the location, he discovers that the local villagers are deeply superstitious about the monolith, avoiding it at all costs. As the narrator spends a night near the Black Stone, he experiences a terrifying vision that reveals the dark and sinister history of the monolith, tied to ancient and monstrous gods.The story reflects Howard's skill in blending adventure, horror, and mythology, drawing on the influence of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. "The Black Stone" presents a chilling atmosphere and themes of human insignificance in the face of ancient, incomprehensible forces, making it a significant contribution to the genre of weird fiction.
