Sinossi

A fusion of Shirley Jackson and Gillian Flynn, Passing Through Veils is a gripping psychological thriller about Kathryn Fields who moves into a run-down Georgetown, D.C. townhouse in hopes that restoring it will be a metaphor for her own rehabilitation from the recent nervous breakdown that derailed her promising career.    But when she discovers a forgotten vanity behind a false wall in her bedroom and the secrets hidden there, the veil between the real and the surreal is abruptly pierced, and the ghost of a beautiful woman who was murdered in this very townhouse escapes to seek revenge.    Is this simply a fantasy of Katherine’s damaged psyche?   Or have her own demons finally escaped to torment her?

    What is dark comedy? It's laughing at the damned while they're burning. Welcome back to Hell! 
    In this psychological thriller that redefines torment, Elgin Thomas's iniquitous past finally catches up with him. His punishment? Wandering the fiery depths of Hell, where his fortitude and sanity face relentless assault. This unlikely hero fantasy takes a nightmarish turn as our protagonist discovers that surviving damnation requires more than just endurance—it demands evolution. 
    Introduced to a rogues' gallery of unsavory characters straight out of a mystery and suspense anthology, Elgin must learn to adapt or be consumed. The Underworld's scorching, volcanic terrain is merely the backdrop for something far more terrifying: a society of, demons, secret societies, petty criminals, and an entire pantheon of history's most ruthless tyrants—all coexisting in one infernal nightmare. 
    This YA fantasy fiction with horror elements doesn't just explore Hell—it dissects it with clever satire, exposing the absurdity of eternal punishment and the dark humor inherent in humanity's worst impulses.  
     Reality and madness blur in this thriller in 2026 that asks the ultimate question—can redemption exist in a place designed for the irredeemable? 
    The Devil's Lair is the explosive second installment in the Beyond Gehenna series, where the battle for one man's soul becomes a twisted journey through the architecture of damnation itself. Darker, and more unforgiving than the first volume, this is a descent you won't forget. 
    Perfect for readers who crave psychological thrillers that challenge perception, YA fantasy with genuine horror, and satire sharp enough to cut through the layers of Hell itself. 
    Warning: Abandon hope? That's just the beginning.

    No boyfriend, no career, no f**ks given. 
     
    Thieves have broken into the Federal Reserve and made off with millions in gold. The catch? They were dressed like leprechauns, and by all accounts, used magic to do it. 
     
    Cue up a fresh case for Sergeant Chloe Mayfield, but if she thought the last one was fraught with danger, she’s going to have to redefine her terminology. If it were not bad enough that she has to negotiate rogue gunmen, sword-wielding mercenaries, and a famous monster hunter, she has enemies within Boston PD to contend with, at least one of whom thinks their life would be easier if she were dead. 
     
    Worse yet, the vicious leprechauns she must investigate are determined to keep their newfound gold, no matter who gets in their way. Not out of greed, but because they have something far more sinister planned, and the gold heist was just the first step. 
     
    Chloe doesn’t know it yet, but the fate of the city and its residents are on the line. If she doesn’t figure things out in time, the results could be catastrophic.
