Beschreibung

Paul Milton, a dynamic young vicar, is successful at bringing folk back to the Church. Fresh from a South London triumph, he and his wife Sarah, an emotionally fragile English rose, head north to a new rural appointment.
 
However, the position is not what they expect. Soon after their arrival, Sarah becomes distant and oddly changed. Paul finds himself caught in a war between Olwen - a Celtic sorceress - and Julius Dodds, the church's implacable troubleshooter. Under pressure from both sides, Paul suffers a crisis of faith.
 
As the ancient ritual of All Saints' Eve approaches, Sarah disappears and Paul has to battle against Olwen and Dodds to save his wife from a fate too terrible to contemplate.

A "genuinely scary" horror debut written in "prose so beautiful you won't want to rush" about a boy who transforms into a monster, a monster who tries to be a man, and the people who love him in every form he takes (Ana Reyes) 
 
   
 
Grieving mother Magos cuts out a piece of her deceased eleven-year-old son Santiago's lung. Acting on fierce maternal instinct and the dubious logic of an old folktale, she nurtures the lung until it gains sentience, growing into the carnivorous little Monstrilio she keeps hidden within the walls of her family's decaying Mexico City estate. Eventually, Monstrilio begins to resemble the Santiago he once was, but his innate impulses—though curbed by his biological and chosen family's communal care—threaten to destroy this fragile second chance at life. 
 
  
 
A thought-provoking meditation on grief, acceptance, and the monstrous sides of love and loyalty, Gerardo Sámano Córdova blends bold imagination and evocative prose with deep emotional rigor. Told in four acts that span the globe from Brooklyn to Berlin, Monstrilio offers, with uncanny clarity, a cathartic and precise portrait of being human.

Will this killer scare him to death or kill him? 
Lance Alexander Sr sat singing along with his car radio as he waited to pick up his son Jr. He was totally distracted by the music. He didn't see the man jump in his car til it was too late. "What are you doing in my car," said Lance noticing him. 
"Drive!" said the stranger coldly. 
"I'm waiting for my son hit the road, Jack!" said Lance he hadn't time for this guy. 
"Forget him and drive," said the stranger pulling a gun on Lance. 
"You don't want to do this mate!" warned Lance knowingly. 
"do you think you're a magician?" asked the carjacker. 
"I'm worse!" said Lance smiling darkly as he stared the car and sped off. Lance was worse than a magician they were heroes he was wanted by the police as a serial killer. 
His son saw his car speed away. 
"Okay I'll take myself home then!" said Jr shortly and disappeared into thin air teleporting home. 
Meanwhile, in the car, the carjacker was terrified thinking he chose the wrong car to carjack. The owner was insane and had some sort of a death wish he was all over the road like a madman and had a devil-may-care attitude with the carjacker. 
"Let me out of here? I'll not hurt you if you let me go," pleaded the carjacker who was petrified. 
"You said you wanted me to drive," said Lance in a mock hurt tone as he locked the doors and drove on.
