Hobbe's Folly

Adam Macqueen

Sinossi

Some truths should stay guarded
Hobbe's Folly is a deeply unsettling tale of ghostly estates and other dimensions by Adam Macqueen, author of Haunted Tales.
1904: Naive bookseller's assistant Henry Canning arrives at Hareswood Lodge to catalogue the library of its late owner. But he's unprepared for the horrors that lurk within Matthew Hobbe's collection – and something even more terrible that still lingers in the room itself.
The present day, and a young council officer is tasked with finding the story behind an unassuming brick building that is all that stands in the way of a vast new housing development. But to the concern of his colleagues, Ben finds himself growing more and more obsessed with the secret of Hobbe's Folly. Why does it have no doors or windows? Is it to keep people out? Or to keep something too awful to imagine trapped inside?
In Hobbe's Folly, Adam Macqueen channels the masters of the ghost story in two intertwined narratives that build into a horrifying whole – and will ensure you never look at the view beyond your windows in quite the same way again.

Awakening the Witch

Christina Garner

Welcome to Hollywood Lakes, where the water is warm, the coffee is hot, and the magic begins at midlife. This semi-cozy paranormal women's fiction series has wit, attitude, and a slow-burn romance. 
 
 
 
Shay Atwater is a talent manager in Hollywood with a knack for making dreams come true. But somehow, she's never quite found her own. At 44, she fears she's running out of time—especially in Hollywood where women of a certain age become invisible. 
 
 
 
She needs a reset, and settling her grandmother's estate is the perfect opportunity for a getaway to Hollywood Lakes, the idyllic town where she spent summers in childhood. But when her BFF, Avery, shows up begging to use her grandmother's inn as a movie location, what's meant to be a vacation turns into anything but. And when her teenage crush moves back to town, divorced and handsome as ever, she's really in for it. 
 
 
 
Exploding lights and ghostly sounds ruin takes until the director threatens to shut down the shoot. Shay must find out what—or who—is wreaking havoc, and she's betting the ancient spell book in the attic will help. If only she can figure out how to open it, she might just find the calling she's been seeking and awaken the witch within.

Abnormal Statistics

Max Booth III

"Abnormal Statistics takes us on a desolate walking tour of the everyday American nightmare. Come see what’s happening behind the closed doors and shuttered windows of your neighbors, your best friends, the people you trust most. Bleak and bloody horror that’s as raw and immediate as a pile of yellowed teeth, roots and all." 
—Trevor Henderson, creator of Siren Head 
"A tightly written and devastating collection. Abnormal Statistics grabs the reader by the throat with each tale, from the stellar opener 'Indiana Death Song' to the harrowing 'Video Nasties.' Throughout the collection, Booth performs a sort of emotional autopsy that's impossible to look away from, even as we're handed our own viscera to hold. Horror, sorrow, fury and dark humor are woven throughout with an expert hand, and by the end, it hurt more of my feelings than I ever knew I possessed."  
—Laurel Hightower, author of Crossroads and Below
