    In the shadows of our world, an invisible war rages—a war that most people will never see, fought by soldiers they will never know. D.E.D.D. Man Walking, the latest thrilling collection by Eli Taff Jr., plunges you deep into the dark, chilling universe of the Department of Extra-Dimensional Defense (D.E.D.D.). This elite black ops unit stands as humanity's last line of defense against nightmarish creatures and interdimensional horrors that slip through the cracks of reality. 
    From fog-shrouded fishing villages where massive, tentacled monstrosities rise from the depths, to remote Arctic outposts where ancient entities whisper through the ice, D.E.D.D. Man Walking delivers ten tightly-woven flash fiction stories that capture the intense, action-packed missions of Reaper Squad. Each story is a pulse-pounding, 500-word plunge into the unknown, where the strange and supernatural blend seamlessly with brutal, military realism. 
    For fans of military sci-fi horror and dark, supernatural thrillers, this collection is a must-read.  
    It's the Eli Taff Jr. masterfully combines the tactical precision of black ops action with the gut-wrenching terror of cosmic horror, creating an atmosphere that is both thrilling and unsettling. D.E.D.D. Man Walking captures the claustrophobic tension of works like The X-Files, Stranger Things, and The Thing, while also appealing to fans of Warhammer 40K and H.P. Lovecraft's mythos. 
    Prepare yourself for a journey into the shadows, where every flash of light reveals a new nightmare, and the line between reality and the unexplainable blurs. Welcome to D.E.D.D. Man Walking. Once you step into this world, there's no going back.

    ‘Love Among the Haystacks’ was written by D H Lawrence in 1912. It was the eighteenth of his sixty-seven short stories, all of which will be published individually in audiobook format by the Blackthorn Press. In this story, Lawrence returns to the scenes of his young manhood with farming scenes and life he experienced when courting Jessie Chambers at Haggs Farm in Nottinghamshire. Two brothers find love in two different women, both out of the ordinary for farm lads - one a German nanny, the other the wife of a tramp who begs food from the farmers. Both men are redeemed from their rivalry for each other and their suppressed sexuality by the first experiences of love on the same night.

    "Before she tried to be a good woman she had been a very bad woman—so bad that she could trail her wonderful apparel up and down Main Street, from the Elm Tree Bakery to the railroad tracks, without once having a man doff his hat to her or a woman bow. You passed her on the street with a surreptitious glance, though she was well worth looking at—in her furs and laces and plumes. She had the only full-length mink coat in our town, and Ganz's shoe store sent to Chicago for her shoes. Hers were the miraculously small feet you frequently see in stout women. 
    For she owned the House with the Closed Shutters, near the freight depot—did Blanche Devine".

    Frederick Ignatius Cowles was born in 1900 in Cambridge, England. 
    This unfamiliar name is one of the gems of English supernatural fiction as well as several other works of travelogues, history, folklore, and children's books.  
    When his supernatural short stories, and some are very short indeed, were first published they were compared to the works of M R James and EF Benson, yet unlike those two authors he fell, unfairly, into obscurity. 
    In all he wrote perhaps 60 short stories with weird and supernatural themes. 
    Frederick Cowles died in 1948 although some accounts offer that it was 1949.
