  Some antiquities carry shadows that can never be wiped away. 
  In this chilling masterpiece of atmospheric dread, ordinary scholars, curious collectors, and unsuspecting travelers find themselves crossing the invisible threshold between the mundane world and unspeakable terror. From a cursed scrap-book tucked away in a decaying French town to an ever-changing mezzotint painting that depicts an active, crawling horror, these tales prove that curiosity often leads to the grave. Unearth the sinister secrets of an ancient ash tree filled with giant, venomous spiders, and follow a naive orphan into a stately manor harboring dark, sacrificial rites. The past is not dead—it is merely waiting to be discovered. 
  Listeners seeking elite Horror / Ghost Stories will be utterly captivated by this classic audiobook. M. R. James practically invented the antiquarian ghost story, blending academic settings with terrifying, supernatural macabre. If you love slow-burn suspense, gothic atmospheres, creeping dread, haunted objects, and phantom curses, this quintessential collection will leave you sleeping with the lights on.

  An inventor builds a machine that detects the affinity between two people and sets it loose on a family of marriageable daughters, with the results one would expect and a few one would not. Chambers wrote sixty-odd books and made a fortune from light society comedy; this is that vein at its most cheerful. Sixty plates of moonlit harbors, harvest moons, and quiet water by Fitz Henry Lane and Antonio Jacobsen carry the same gentle romantic glow as the story.

  Fae warriors. Forbidden love. A magical artifact that could destroy everything. 
  Life in a vampire-run gambling town wasn't in my plans, but I've found my place hunting demons for the mafia and training with an elite supernatural team. My powers are growing stronger every day—and so are my feelings for Saxon, the dangerously seductive angel-vampire hybrid who makes my heart race and my mission objectives blur. 
  Our romance is strictly forbidden by the Pride. We're left stealing moments between deadly assignments, relying on dream walks and heated glances when no one's watching. It's not enough, but it has to be. 
  When a powerful magical artifact—the Sunstone—surfaces, everything changes. The organization drops demon tracking to prioritize the search, even as a ruthless militant fae group hunts us. The chase for the Sunstone leads somewhere I never expected, unearthing buried secrets and a devastating betrayal that cuts deeper than any Plague demon ever could. 
  In a world where everyone has their own agenda and trust is a luxury I can't afford, one truth becomes painfully clear: when the chips are down, the only one I can bet on is myself. 
  Perfect for fans of forbidden romance, fierce heroines, and dark fae fantasy with deadly stakes. 
  Five Card Fae is the third book in the Pandora's Pride urban fantasy series featuring a badass heroine, supernatural suspense, slow-burn forbidden romance, dark magic, and fae warriors who don't play by the rules.
