    The culling took most of the men from Cochran Texas away to a dusty old town that exists between this plane and the next called Cocytus. Run by a maniacal power-hungry man named Lycus and his adopted proté gé daughter Alastor, he conducts chaos with the help of a group of bandits called Calamity Three. His goal: tip the cosmic scales to bring the Void crashing into the world and claim the place of power to which he believes he is owed. Loyalty is a flimsy commodity in Cocytus, and with Behemoth rushing from the celestial abyss to heed a distant call this small Texas town nestled somewhere between here and hell has no idea what's in store.

    On a remote stretch of the Danube, two travelers set out on what should be a simple canoeing journey. But as the river carries them deeper into uncharted wilderness, the world around them begins to shift—vast, unsettling, and alive in ways that defy reason. 
Algernon Blackwood’s The Willows is widely hailed as one of the greatest works of supernatural fiction ever written. Blending breathtaking descriptions of nature with an atmosphere of mounting unease, Blackwood creates a tale where the boundary between the real and the unknown grows dangerously thin. 
For readers who love cosmic horror, uncanny landscapes, and timeless classics of the weird tale, this novella remains a haunting masterpiece that lingers long after the final page.

    Peculiar weather settles over a bustling Texas sea port, a city made prosperous off the cotton trade and thick with racial inequality. The sky above Galveston, Texas, darkens to the sickly green of a healing bruise, the sea turns black, and the inhabitants of the city have no idea the force of the hammer about to drop on them. 
 
 
 
The wild wind blows boxer John McBride into town, a white prize fighter with seemingly superhuman fury and skill. As black boxer Jack L'il Arthur Johnson prepares to fight this fierce opponent, the storm closes in. If he can survive the ring and the vicious undercurrents of the Jim Crow south, L'il Arthur will still have to fight his way through the storm winds, the rising flood waters, and the violent night. 
 
 
 
On September 8, 1900, a hurricane ripped apart Galveston, Texas, killing nearly 8,000 people and nearly obliterating the town. Lansdale's story brings dimension to many who lost their lives that day, and a few who survived.

    In this third—and final—book in the STRUNG series, Randall Morgan and David Pearson face their biggest challenge yet. 
In the form of a half-empty IV bag once connected to Randall's son, they have found a means that might be used to fight the evil that has infected the world. 
The question remains, though, whether they can bring themselves to use it. Because during the massacre at Redwater, their enemy finally revealed his true face … and it looks so damn innocent.
