    "The Terrible Old Man" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft, written on January 28, 1920, and first published in the Tryout, an amateur press publication, in July 1921. It's notable as the first story to make use of Lovecraft's imaginary New England setting, introducing the fictional town of Kingsport. The Terrible Old Man is a strange elderly man "so old that no one can remember when he was young, and so taciturn that few know his real name". He lives alone in an ancient house on Water Street in the town of Kingsport. The Terrible Old Man reappears in the story "The Strange High House in the Mist" in a more benevolent role.

    Lake Tahoe, 1988. Jackson Taylor's inner torment never dies. After losing his wife and kids in a car accident, the former MLB pitcher-turned-chef purchases a lovely new home at a steal, while shrugging off its terrible history of a murder-suicide. But he soon realizes he's not alone when he hears a child's laughter echoing from behind a closed door. 
    Skeptical about the supernatural despite finding multiple cryptic messages, Jackson visits the local library to research clues tied to the property. When the charming librarian helps him unearth chilling details of its past, he's more determined than ever to unravel the truth. 
    Can Jackson expose the horror hidden within the haunted halls and find his own peace? 
    An engaging supernatural mystery novel about family secrets, the price of vengeance, and learning to move on after loss. -- Clarion Reviews 
    Eerie, surprising, and profoundly emotional, The House on Tyner by Matthew O'Connell is a beautifully written ghost story with the structure of a mystery. A powerfully written ghost story that manages to be appealingly realistic, while also questioning the boundaries of the tangible world. Giving a poetic side to the enigmatic and haunted, the novel is unique in the paranormal genre. ★★★★½ -- Self-Publishing Review 
    5 out of 5 stars. I found nothing to dislike about this novel. I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery novel. My eyes were glued to the pages by the end of the book. The author included many plot twists and turns to keep readers engaged throughout the novel. As someone who often shies away from ghost stories due to cheesiness, I wholeheartedly recommend this book, as it is a decidedly realistic portrayal of the paranormal. -- OnlineBookClub

    Starring Claudia Christian as the Thief.In writing Dracula, Bram Stoker created a universe full of rich characters, dark and foreboding locations, and a tangled web of loyalties, relationships and motivations. Despite the story being fictional -at least one hopes that’s the case - many elements within the story were reflections and analogies of the Stoker family and their history.A little over 120 years after the book’s original release, Bram’s great-grandnephew Dacre Stoker has teamed up with author Chris McAuley to create a series of short stories set within the StokerVerse, each narrated from the point of view of one of the characters we all know - or think we know - so well.Set before the events of the original Dracula novel, this episode sees a mysterious thief summoned to discover a secret at the Carfax Estate - but exactly what will she find?If you’re a fan of vampires - particularly those of a more gothic nature - then these brand-new adventures will surely appeal to you. With Dacre Stoker’s major contribution, these stories are the most significant addition to the official Dracula canon since Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 film Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

When Ned chases Anna and their six-year-old daughter from Alaska to Maine, the two go into hiding in a run-down motel on the coast. As his pursuit of Anna and their child moves from threatening to criminal, Ned begins to alter his wife's world in ways she never could have imagined. This double-edged and satisfying story features a strong female protagonist, a thrilling plot, and a creeping sense of the apocalyptic, Sweet Lamb of Heaven builds to a shattering ending with profound implications for its characters.
