Sinopse

THE VEIL

About the Author and His Work
Gian Luca Caffarena lives and works as a journalist and writer in Turin. He was born and spent his formative years in the port city of Genoa, whose streets and society provide the backdrop for his works of fiction.
The Veil is dynastic noir which traces the waning wealth, influence, and status of a powerful, industrial, Catholic family during the twentieth century. The bourgeois values and moral integrity of the family, underpinned by a strong faith in the ethos of hard work, deference, and tradition, are threatened by social unrest, political protest and the degeneracy of members of its own younger generation. A series of ambiguous deaths leads to the veil of euphemisms and half-truths being lifted to reveal what is hidden below. The religious fervour, convention and decorum of high Genovese society are forced to confront the misery and squalor of the city's poorest and most ancient quarters. Ultimately, the veil falls away to reveal an unimagined reality.

    Say hello to Mike Lucifer, Spiritual Consultant. He’s back in town to take care of business. Unfortunately, when business is good, things must be very, very bad. 
     
    After two years trying to run away from his past, Mike Lucifer’s back in his office less than ten minutes when a persistent young woman shows up asking for help: her boyfriend’s been possessed by a demon. 
     
    That’s exactly the kind of mess that drove him from his hometown of Boston to a sunny beach—and the bottom of a bottle—in the first place. But there are some problems that even booze can’t drown, and while Lucifer may be no hero, his dwindling bank account provides a thousand reasons to take the case. 
     
    No sooner is he back in the game then the complications and corpses start to add up. The boyfriend’s not possessed—he’s dead. The tech company where he worked is looking shadier by the second. And Lucifer’s client definitely knows more than she should…about everything. The deeper Lucifer digs, the more he wonders if whatever sinister entity lurks behind this case wants him to be the last to die…

    Luther is a darkly humorous mafia book that tells the story of Luther LaMotta, an accidental low-level hitman in the Manchini family mob. Luther wants nothing more from life than to savor music in the solitude of his plant-filled apartment, or to romp in borrowed luxury cars with his girlfriend/stripper Candy Barr, an Amish runaway. Instead, he is forced to clean up after mob hits, feeding victims' body parts to a crocodile named Bianca who is kept in a pit in a New York City basement. 
    Despite the constant violence surrounding him, Luther retains a charming naivete, which makes him an easy target for manipulation. Willing to do anything for Candy, Luther becomes embroiled in her plot to skim money from the Manchinis, and he realizes—only after irreparable damage is done and lives lost—that she has set him up.

    Eighteen tales of horror delve into the world of the horror audio drama Wrought of Amber. 
    PRINCESS EMERALD IS GONE 
    Twelve-year-old actress Emily Carmichael was the star of the children's TV show, Virtue Vista Valley, until she went missing on a Saturday afternoon in 2009. Four days later, police found her remains on the property of Wesley Graveline, one of Virtue Vista Valley's writers. Graveline confessed and was executed, and the case was closed. More than a decade later, Alex Carmichael questioned the official story of her sister's death with her podcast Wrought of Amber and shed light on the unexplored corners of her family's tragic loss. 
    This collection of stories expands the story to dark corners beyond Alex's reach. 
    Set in the world of Wrought of Amber and Weeping Cedars, these eighteen short stories add to Alex's version of events by uncovering secrets she could never know and staring into darkness she could never imagine. Shards of Amber includes the tales of a killer who poses his victims, a model train set that appears mysteriously in an office lobby, an actor who must endure dreams of drowning, and the tale of an aspiring young writer who finds something unexpected in the West Virginia woods. 
    Join the search for Emily Carmichael, but be careful not to cut yourself on the shards.
