  The Workhorse

  The tale begins in an age before cities crowned the horizon—when treasure maps were scrawled on weathered parchment, their edges tattered by wind and time. In this distant era lived a poor prospector named Juriel (pronounced “Zhuriel”), ever convinced that fortune lay just one more day’s journey ahead. He dreamed of riches beyond imagining, though in truth, his heart beat fastest for the glint of gold. 
  His sole companion was a horse—though “companion” was a generous word for how the animal was treated. Juriel had never given him a name, calling him simply “Horse,” as though he were nothing more than a tool to be used or traded. Yet Horse was no ordinary creature. 
  Tall and powerfully built, with broad shoulders and a thick, muscular neck, he carried the grandeur of heroes carved in ancient stone. His coat was a flawless black, sleek and luminous like polished onyx, marked only by a tuft of white on his brow. His mane spilled like midnight silk, and his deep, unyielding eyes seemed to look straight into truths hidden from others. 
  That morning, Juriel’s temper flared. Furious at Horse for snapping a rope and devouring the sack of oats meant for sale, he raised his hand, the leather strap slicing the air with a sharp, dangerous hiss. Yet Horse did not move, meeting his master’s glare with those fathomless eyes—a silent testament to patience and loyalty undeserved. 
  Just as Juriel’s arm rose again, a voice drifted through the dusty street: “Why waste your strength on such a useless animal? Come—step inside.” 
  The speaker was a strange old man, framed in the doorway of an odd little shop—its walls warped and sun-bleached, its wooden frame worn by decades. Above hung a cracked, faded sign, its letters long surrendered to time. 
  Something in the man’s presence rooted Juriel to the spot. The whip fell from his grasp, and as if pulled by an unseen force...

  Hendrix Bateman is one of The Lucky Three, a trio of players who were not on the Titan’s team plane the night it crashed. Feeling as if he’s been given a second chance, Hendrix is determined to make the most out of his life, but that doesn’t mean he’s not suffering from scars that can’t be seen. 
  When I lost my Titan brothers in the crash, it was a mixed bag of emotions. I was devastated and grief stricken, but I was also grateful to be alive. Yeah, that might cause a little—okay, a lot of—guilt, but now I’m determined to live each day as if it’s my last. 
  A night out with friends puts me in the crosshairs of Stevie Kisner—the devastatingly beautiful bar owner with a sharp tongue and a fire in her eyes that lets me know she has zero tolerance for guys like me. I’ve never been one to back away from a challenge, so I’m not dissuaded by Stevie’s tough as nails attitude or her big biker dad who looks like he wants to kill me. Fueled by too many shots and the raucous urging of my teammates, I set out to show Stevie I’ve got game both on and off the ice. 
  While I shouldn’t be looking for anything more than a good time, I can’t help but be captivated by Stevie. She’s cool as hell and we burn hot together. But the more I get to know her, the more I can tell she’s holding something in reserve, and let’s just say I’ve got some trust issues after my last disastrous attempt at a relationship. Now I need to decide if I’m going to let my past dictate my future or if I am willing to put my heart on the line to find out if Stevie is exactly what I think she is—my everything.

  The Secret of the Tomb is a dark tale of obsession, ancestral legacy, and creeping supernatural dread. 
  The story follows a young man who becomes fixated on the history of his family estate and the mysterious tomb that lies upon the grounds. As he delves deeper into the past, he uncovers disturbing revelations tied to his lineage — secrets long buried but not entirely dormant. What begins as curiosity slowly transforms into psychological unease, as strange impulses and uncanny experiences blur the line between inherited madness and something far more sinister. 
  With mounting tension and a suffocating atmosphere, Robert Bloch crafts a narrative steeped in Gothic horror and cosmic suggestion. Beneath the surface lies a meditation on identity, destiny, and the inescapable pull of blood and heritage. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the mounting dread and claustrophobic intensity of Bloch’s early weird fiction.

  In the backcountry of the Florida Keys, you can see and hear trouble coming for miles in any direction. That is, if you're paying attention. 
  Jesse McDermitt lives in the backcountry and very little happens near him that he's not fully aware of. During a quiet moment, he watches a slow-moving shrimp trawler as it serenely cruises by, barely visible on the horizon at the edge of the three-mile limit. 
  The tranquility of the moment is shattered when the trawler is suddenly demolished in an enormous explosion. What caused the explosion? And why was a woman from Jesse's past on board? 
  To find the answers to these questions and more, Jesse and friends will work from Miami to Key West, then across the water to Fort Myers. When the bad guys hit too close to home, Jesse retaliates. Furiously.
