  Tenebroum has conquered the south, leaving devastation in its wake. Only a few sparks of light evade the Dread God’s relentless gaze as it shifts toward the desert kingdoms of the north. To stand a chance, these kingdoms will need divine intervention. 
    
  Fortunately, the gods are stirring. A number of divinities have stepped in to turn the tide, including perhaps the All-Father himself. Will their efforts be enough, or will new players emerge from the chaos to exploit the turmoil for their own gain? 
    
  Amidst these world-shaking events, Jordan, Leo, and the other children of light must tread carefully while they search for a sanctuary beyond the reach of the encroaching darkness that has already claimed so much. Will they find a safe haven, or will they perish in the dark as the war rages on? Their journey is fraught with danger, but ancient prophecies hint at salvation. 
    
  In this epic tale of courage and resilience, the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Will the combined might of gods and heroes be enough to thwart the darkness, or will Tenebroum’s shadow engulf the entire world?

  Lettice Galbraith is yet another of those mysterious women of British literature of whom little was recorded. 
   
  Lizzie Susan Gibson was born on the 27th January 1859 in Kingston-Upon-Hull in Yorkshire into a comfortable middle-class family. 
   
  Her education was primarily private but at fifteen her father died, and life became rather different. 
   
  After several years in London, she moved with her mother to Reigate in Surrey.   
   
  In 1885 she published her first story anonymously and her pseudonym ‘Lettice Galbraith’ only appeared from late 1892. 
   
  Although her canon of works is small, she mainly achieved her reputation on a single volume of ghost and supernatural stories entitled ‘New Ghost Stories’. 
   
  After her mother’s death in 1901 she moved to London and continued to write, this time moving on from the short story to the novel, as well as reverting to her given name. 
   
  For the last two decades of her life, she did not continue her literary career. 
   
  Lettice Galbraith died on 8th July 1932 at Downe, then in Kent.  She was 73

  The Murders in the Rue Morgue...

  Edgar Allan Poe

  Poe at his most methodical: Dupin opening the locked room of the Rue Morgue and then solving a real New York murder from the newspapers in The Mystery of Marie Rogêt, the cipher and the buried treasure of The Gold-Bug, a balloon voyage to the moon, the transatlantic Balloon-Hoax that a New York paper printed as news, a manuscript thrown from a doomed ship, and the oval portrait that drains its sitter. Edgar Allan Poe invented the detective story in these pages and sold it to a Philadelphia magazine. The volume opens with an appreciation of Poe and a contemporary account of his death. The horror is in the procedure, not the shriek. Forty-one plates, from Fuseli's Weird Sisters to Odilon Redon, gather the uncanny and the criminal that Poe's reasoning only half explains.

  The new home promises safety, and the quiet neighborhood whispers peace. An innocent family moves into their dream home, unaware they’ve stepped into the hunting ground of something ancient and merciless. Something dark that knows their secrets and waits to destroy them one by one.  
  This is no ordinary haunted house story. This is a psychological, paranormal horror told from the demonic perspective, through the destruction of its human victims. Inside these walls, it has been waiting, not just to terrorize, but to manipulate, corrupt and destroy. All while unmaking everything you believe is safe. Through the Eyes of Evil is a terrifying supernatural thriller that breaks every rule of traditional storytelling. Instead of hearing from the victim, this story drags you into the mind of the predator itself. If you think you know how haunting stories go, prepare to be proven wrong.  
  If you’re searching for psychological thrillers with paranormal twists, haunted house horror, cerebral supernatural suspense, this book delivers. Perfect for fans of The Haunting of Hill House, The Exorcist, and The Amityville Horror.   
  For readers who crave fear that lingers, this is horror at its most unforgettable.
