Giselle Boyer and her identical twin, Isabelle, are as close as sisters can be, even as their family seems to be unraveling. Then the Boyers have a tragic encounter that will shatter everyone’s world forever.

Giselle wakes up in the hospital, injured and unable to speak or move. Trapped in the prison of her own body, Giselle must revisit her past in order to understand how the people closest to her—her friends, her parents, and above all, Isabelle, her twin—have shaped and defined her. Will she allow her love for her family and friends to lead her to recovery? Or will she remain lost in a spiral of longing and regret?

Untwine is a spellbinding tale, lyrical and filled with love, mystery, humor, and heartbreak.

The Venus Evil - Paradise...

Chester S. Geier

The first expedition to Venus returns with only one survivor—and a story no one wants to believe. What began as a disciplined mission of exploration slowly bends under isolation, ambition, and the lure of impossible wealth. On Venus, beauty conceals danger, and what appears delicate and harmless exerts a deadly influence over everything alive.
As crimson gems are uncovered in the planet’s wild terrain, priorities shift. Scientific restraint gives way to private hunger, and cooperation erodes into suspicion. Each step away from the ship carries new risk, not only from the alien life above, but from the man standing beside you. When the true nature of Venus reveals itself, the most dangerous threat is no longer the planet—it is the choice that must be made before leaving it.
The Venus Evil is a tense, psychological science fiction tale where greed sharpens fear and survival depends on recognizing the moment when profit becomes poison. Narrated as an official statement, the story unfolds with mounting dread toward a final act that cannot be undone, and cannot be fully forgiven.
Chester S. Geier was a prolific contributor to science fiction magazines during the late 1930s and 1940s, with stories appearing in publications such as Astounding Science-Fiction, Thrilling Wonder Stories, and Startling Stories. His work often placed human desire in direct conflict with alien environments, and The Venus Evil stands as one of his most unsettling examinations of ambition carried too far.
