Summary

Lady Luna & the Taduki Drug is fantasy trilogy featuring Allan Quatermain, an English-born professional big game hunter and occasional trader living in South Africa.
"The Ivory Child" – While Quatermain visits Lord Ragnall, he receives a visit from Harut and Marut, priests and doctors of the White Kendah People who  come to ask him for help. The White Kendah people are at war with the Black Kendah people who have an evil spirit for a god. Quatermain must return to Africa and destroy this evil spirit before it kills every one of the White Kendah People. In the meanwhile, Harut and Marut present Lady Ragnall the taduki drug that induces visions of previous incarnations. These visions create special connection between Allan and Lady Ragnall.
"The Ancient Allan" concerns one of Allan Quatermain past lives. Allan and Lady Ragnall inhale taduki, a drug that induces visions of previous incarnations. Thus, Quartermain relives the experiences of ancient Egyptian aristocrat Shabaka (a descendant of the pharaoh of the same name)—alongside flashes of his earlier lives—and Luna those of Amada, an ancient priestess of Isis.
"Allan and the Ice-gods" – Allan feels awkward toward Lady Luna Ragnall after their recent taduki-induced vision in The Ancient Allan, in which they were nearly married, and he refuses three invitations from her to return for another vision and has vowed never to use the drug again. Few weeks later Allan has a psychic experience and later learns that Lady Ragnall had died of heart failure in the Temple of Isis. Allan inherits her estate and distributes it to charities except for a box containing the taduki drug which Lady Ragnall had left him. Captain John Good shows up and persuades Allan to use the drug and the two enter into their vision.

    Step into a shadowed realm where nothing is as it seems, and reality dances on the edge of illusion. Henry James's The Turn of the Screw is a masterpiece of ambiguity, a chilling tale that defies easy interpretation. Told through the eyes of a young governess, the story plunges readers into a haunting world of eerie whispers, mysterious children, and a sinister country estate. But is the darkness external—or does it lie within the human mind?
    James's novella is not just a ghost story; it is a psychological puzzle that invites endless debate. The genius of The Turn of the Screw lies in its refusal to offer clear answers, leaving readers questioning the nature of truth, sanity, and the power of perception. Its rich, atmospheric prose and layers of meaning create a tale that is as unsettling as it is captivating.
    Perfect for those who relish Gothic suspense, psychological intrigue, and the tantalizing possibility of the supernatural, this story lures you into a labyrinth of fear and fascination. Each turn of the screw tightens the tension, leaving you breathless until the final page.

    This Christmas, a hero will rise from the trailer park. 
    Earl Frost isn't what most people would call a hero. He's indoorsy. He lives with his grandma in a 1970s single wide in the Misty Pines Trailer Park. He spends most of his time taking care of his pet fish and working nights at Cecil's Gas 'n' Stop. Earl Frost also hates Christmas, which is a cardinal sin up there with pride and greed in Holiday Lake. 
    Holiday Lake is like a town on a Christmas card, or in one of those holiday romance movies that play non-stop on TV. Everyone here loves Christmas. Except for Earl. He has his reasons, but his bah humbug attitude hasn't helped him make friends. That's why Earl had to join a doomsday Cthulhu cult just to get some pals to drink beer with. 
    Which is great until a cult ritual in the back of a junk shop goes wrong, and horrific creatures rise from the lake, hell-bent on killing and destroying everyone and everything in their path. 
    Earl will have to team up with the Misty Pines Trailer Park Thursday Night Knitting Club and the girl of his dreams to stop the creatures as they slash their way through town. Can Earl save Holiday Lake—and Christmas—from monsters unlike any man has ever seen? Find out in Christmas Creeps from the Deep! 
    Christmas Creeps from the Deep is the new cozy holiday horror / science fiction comedy creature feature from the author of 24/7 Demon Mart. It's like a Hallmark Christmas romance meets Humanoids from the Deep. Part eco horror, part romcom, one hundred percent adventure. 
    It's perfect for fans of Suckerville (Chris Sorensen), Secret Santa (Andrew Shaffer), Oddjobs (Heide Goody/Iain Grant), The Stupidest Angel (Christopher Moore), Kaiju Preservation Society (John Scalzi), The Visitor (Sergio Gomez), and Candy Cain Kills (Brian McAuley).
