  A witch with no power captured by four vicious, possessive, sinfully hot gargoyles… 
  Not exactly the makings of a happy ending. 
  Yet here in the arms of New York’s most brutal monsters, I’ve never felt so safe. So cherished.  
  As we work to obliterate our enemies and solve the mysteries of my past—a past that very well holds the key to unlocking my lost magic and breaking their curse—my gargoyles and I have grown impossibly close. 
  But with every enemy destroyed and clue uncovered, through every searing kiss and filthy, forbidden touch, something dark is awakening inside me.  
  Something... hungry. 
  The gargoyles told me that committing violence takes something from you—and they would know. 
  But for me? I’m pretty sure it’s giving something back. Something I’ve been missing for far too long. 
  And now that I’ve gotten a taste, I’m afraid my nights of blood and vengeance are just beginning… 
  Wicked Awakening is the second book in the Claimed by Gargoyles series, a scorching hot reverse harem paranormal mafia romance featuring a feisty witch coming into her power and four fiercely possessive gargoyle gangsters with horns, tails, oh-so-sensitive wings, and special “equipment” guaranteed to leave their woman—and their readers—begging for more.

  The Blood That Binds - The...

  A long-lost screenplay for a notorious, never-filmed episode of the original Hammer House of Horror series has been novelised, revealing the chilling story that was so cursed, it shut down the entire second season of the show. 
  The Blood That Binds plunges into a seemingly ordinary market town where a terrifying, centuries-old ritual has taken root. A man is imprisoned in a cold, damp cellar, suspended on a hook as a captive witness to unthinkable horrors orchestrated by the merciless figure named Huseevo. 
  As the prisoner endures intense psychological torment and physical pain, he listens to the methodical snick-snick of a blade being sharpened, knowing the ritual—the feeding—is about to begin on another unseen victim. This is not a story of a haunted house, but a home where pure, ancient evil is deliberately cultivated, requiring a constant stream of new souls to sustain its existence for another century. 
  The man's only hope for survival is to carry the knowledge of the truth to the outside world, as requested by those who have already been consumed. 
  A tale of psychological dread, ancient pacts, and the cruellest role of all: not the victim, but the witness who lives to remember the horror that binds us all.

  Vernon Lee - A Short Story...

  Vernon Lee

  Vernon Lee was born Violet Paget on 4th October 1856 in Boulogne, France to intellectual expatriate British parents.   
   
  In common with several other very talented literary women of the day she felt it necessary to publish under a masculine pseudonym in order for her writing to be taken seriously.  Indeed she seems to have adopted that persona across her whole lifestyle becoming personally known and acknowledged by all as Vernon Lee and accordingly dressed as a man.    
   
  Her first published work, in 1880, was taken from her collection of essays that had originally appeared in Fraser’s Magazine with the scholarly title of; ‘Studies of the Eighteenth Century in Italy.’ It reflected her passion for music and centered on the rich creative lives of poet-librettist Pietro Metastasio and dramatists Carlo Goldoni and Carlo Gozzi.   
   
  She wrote over a dozen volumes of essays on art, music, and travel with her scholarly appreciation animated by wit and imagination.  Lee was well-regarded as an expert on the Italian Renaissance and was a proponent of the Aesthetic movement. 
   
  Her literary talents were extensive and she wrote a number of novels and plays.  Perhaps her best remembered works are her haunting and powerful short stories exploring the supernatural.  Lee has often received accolades for these and glowingly compared to other authors such as M R James. 
    
  A committed pacifist she was resolved to protest against World War I. Her social activism in other areas was perhaps fueled by her feminist beliefs.  In her private life she was a lesbian and had long-term passionate relationships with three women including the doomed author and poet, Amy Levy.   
   
  Vernon Lee died on 13th February 1935 in San Gervasio Bresciano, Italy.
