  The Witchcraft Of Ulua - Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz 
  Clark Ashton Smith (January 13, 1893 – August 14, 1961) was an American writer and artist. He achieved early local recognition, largely through the enthusiasm of George Sterling, for traditional verse in the vein of Swinburne. As a poet, Smith is grouped with the West Coast Romantics alongside Joaquin Miller, Sterling, and Nora May French and remembered as "The Last of the Great Romantics" and "The Bard of Auburn". Smith's work was praised by his contemporaries. H. P. Lovecraft stated that "in sheer daemonic strangeness and fertility of conception, Clark Ashton Smith is perhaps unexcelled", and Ray Bradbury said that Smith "filled my mind with incredible worlds, impossibly beautiful cities, and still more fantastic creatures". 
  Smith was one of "the big three of Weird Tales, with Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft", though some readers objected to his morbidness and violation of pulp traditions. The fantasy writer and critic L. Sprague de Camp said of him that "nobody since Poe has so loved a well-rotted corpse".[3] Smith was a member of the Lovecraft circle, and his literary friendship with Lovecraft lasted from 1922 until Lovecraft's death in 1937. His work is marked by an extraordinarily rich and ornate vocabulary, a cosmic perspective and a vein of sardonic and sometimes ribald humor. 
  Of his writing style, Smith stated: "My own conscious ideal has been to delude the reader into accepting an impossibility, or series of impossibilities, by means of a sort of verbal black magic, in the achievement of which I make use of prose-rhythm, metaphor, simile, tone-color, counter-point, and other stylistic resources, like a sort of incantation."

  After unwittingly inserting himself in the middle of a sting operation, Hunter Reeves finds himself sworn in as the newest agent of The Order, an international detective and crime-fighting organization - and under the supervision, of all things, a vampire named Kai. Hunter has precious little time to adjust to his new life, complicated by the fact he and Kai are quickly falling for one another. 
  But a series of fateful choices leads Kai to make a crucial decision that will affect their lives (and afterlives). Can Hunter cope with a rapidly changing world he finds himself pledged to protect? 
  "Reawakening is an engaging tale that thrives on the strength of its characters and the tension of its plot. McPherson's writing is immersive, with moments of humor and humanity that offset the darker themes. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy supernatural fiction with a strong emotional core—fans of urban fantasy, romance, and action-packed thrillers alike." -Thomas Anderson, Literary Titan
