  In post-Communist Romania, on the border with Transylvania, the sleepy little town of B. is losing its young people to the West. 
   
  A young painter returned from Paris and her eccentric great-aunt seem unconcerned with the decline of the town, until a mutilated corpse is found in the family crypt of Prince Vlad the Impaler, better known as Dracula. 
   
  As the world’s attention turns to B., the mayor and his son take advantage and turn the town into a vampire-inspired theme park. Tourists flock, but beneath the surface ancient horrors live on.  
   
  This is a breathtaking, atmospheric tale of revenge, extremism and the longing for a strong leader, for a strict, cruel judge - like Dracula.

  "A FINELY CRAFTED SUPERNATURAL CRIME THRILLER... WITH RAZOR SHARP PROSE AND A BRISTLING ATMOSPHERE." -The BookLife Prize 
  A missing girl whose bloodline traces back to the Salem Witch Trials is the perfect prize for a demonic cult operating on the fringes of Salem’s witchcraft underground. 
  Desperate to find his missing niece, a Boston police captain loans his best detective, Ray Hanley, to Salem PD to lead the investigation. But tensions flare when Ray is partnered with Elena Martinez, a rookie detective who resents his intrusion on her first big case. 
  As they navigate a treacherous landscape of occult rituals and black magic, the horrific discovery of additional victims deepens the mystery and hints at a more sinister plot… one involving a powerful enemy whose secrets include ancestral ties, malevolent forces, and the fulfillment of a dark prophecy. 
  As the days count down to Halloween, the race is on to stop an unspeakable evil from plunging Salem into eternal darkness. 
  A National Indie Excellence Awards Finalist for Horror 
  From the award-winning author of THE ART OF DYING 
  Although THE BURYING POINT picks up where THE ART OF DYING leaves off, it follows Detective Ray Hanley on a completely new case that can be read as a standalone novel. 
  “An unpredictable blend of crime and horror… The Burying Point grabs from the first pages with crisp, focused prose and dialogue-driven scenecraft.” –BookLife Reviews (Editor’s Pick) 
  “A brilliant and unmissable dance with the devil. Salem witch lore has rarely been as terrifying as it is in The Burying Point.” –Bestthrillers.com 
  “[Cavignano’s] fictionalized version of Salem makes for a wonderfully spooky backdrop… An effectively atmospheric crime novel that pits no-nonsense cops against wicked Massachusetts magic.” –Kirkus Reviews

  Under the Pyramids - Imprisoned...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  The main character of the story is Harry Houdini - the supposed author of the work, a magician, and a specialist in extraordinary escapes. During his trip to Egypt, his abilities are horrifyingly put to the test, and he confronts ancient nightmares in the underground chambers beneath the Sphinx. 
  Lovecraft wrote the text on commission for the owner of "Weird Tales." Harry Houdini, the famous escape artist, had a column in the magazine in 1924. Writers who contributed to the magazine created stories with him as the protagonist, and H.P. Lovecraft was chosen as the author for one of them. The writer received an outline of the scenario upon which he was to create the story. The story seemed credible to him, but when he learned that it was entirely fictional, he requested creative freedom regarding the extent of fantastical elements. Houdini was thrilled with the story. He and Lovecraft became friends. The famous magician even helped H.P. Lovecraft look for work in New York. The story was published under Houdini's name, with a changed title: "Imprisoned with the Pharaohs."

At first, with its bright and spacious interior, it seems the perfect first home. But upon closer inspection, the building’s floor plans reveal a mysterious ""dead space” hidden between its walls. Seeking a second opinion, the writer shares the floor plans with his friend Kurihara, an architect, only to discover more unnerving details throughout.
