Dawn of Legacy

Lawrence Davis

Sinopsis

A wizard turned private security agent takes on crime in Cleveland in the conclusion to The Monsters and Men urban fantasy trilogy.

Unexpected crucibles, gut-wrenching loss, and time in prison . . . The last few years have not been kind to Janzen Robinson. His tenure as the unelected Champion of Cleveland was rough, but it’s hard not to catch glimpses of hope as tides of change have rippled throughout the city. Now out of prison, the Artificer is surprised to see just how much his mission and influence have taken root. Full Circle Protection grew from being an operation run out of a beatdown truck to needing a fully functional office. Their ragtag crew of castaways are only a uniform away from seeming professional. And all that ugly that went bump in the night? It began to see that there are no easy meals in the land of Clev. This newfound order is put to the test, though, as a new kind of enemy emerges, launching an attack that isn’t motivated by old vendettas or orchestrated by some secret manipulator. This is an assault that threatens to blur the lines between this world and the sleepy mask it wears, and to take not only their lives but the world Balance with it.

The Monsters And Men Trilogy by Lawrence Davis is fast-paced, heart-pounding urban fantasy at its best and no one will see this twist coming.

Praise for Blunt Force Magic, book one of the Monsters and Men trilogy;

“A modern fantasy with a touch of noir, a dash of detective thriller, and a sprinkling of humor throughout.” —Steve Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Monster

Dracula - Experience the...

Bram Stoker

A terrifying journey into the heart of shadows, where an ancient evil hungers for the blood of the living.
When young English solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to the remote, fog-shrouded peaks of Transylvania, he believes he is merely finalizing a real estate transaction for a reclusive nobleman. Instead, he finds himself trapped within the crumbling, labyrinthine walls of a ruined castle, becoming the prisoner of a charming but deeply unsettling host. As nightfall descends, the chilling truth reveals itself: his host is a creature of unimaginable terror and unholy appetites.
As the malevolent shadow sets its sights on London, bringing with it a plague of madness, death, and spectral brides, a desperate race against time begins. Harker, along with a determined band of allies, must confront a relentless evil that defies the boundaries of life and death, armed with little more than their wits, ancient lore, and a fractured hope.
Why you will love this: If you crave the creeping dread and atmospheric tension of classic Gothic Horror, this audiobook delivers an unforgettable experience. Packed with chilling tropes of cursed bloodlines, sinister supernatural entities, isolated castles, and psychological torment, it remains the ultimate epistolary vampire thriller.
Bram Stoker was an Irish author and theatre manager whose haunting imagination cemented his place in literary history. His 1897 masterpiece not only defined the modern vampire mythos but continues to stand as one of the most enduring and influential works of dark fiction ever written.

The Three Impostors

Arthur Machen

The Three Impostors is a masterfully crafted work of mystery and weird fiction that weaves together suspense, horror, and philosophical intrigue into a richly layered narrative. Written by Arthur Machen, this captivating novel unfolds as a series of interconnected tales, each revealing fragments of a larger and more unsettling truth.

The story begins with two friends, Dyson and Phillips, who find themselves drawn into a web of strange and increasingly disturbing events after encountering a group of enigmatic individuals in London. What initially appears to be a curious series of coincidences soon develops into a complex and sinister puzzle involving deception, hidden identities, and a relentless pursuit.

As the narrative progresses, the structure shifts into a sequence of stories told by various characters—each tale offering a glimpse into bizarre and often terrifying experiences. Among these are accounts of mysterious objects, ancient secrets, and encounters with forces that seem to exist beyond the boundaries of ordinary understanding. Each story stands on its own, yet all are subtly connected, contributing to an overarching sense of mystery.

Machen's storytelling is marked by its atmospheric tension and its ability to suggest horror without fully revealing it. The sense of unease grows as the pieces begin to align, hinting at a hidden reality that is both ancient and profoundly unsettling. The recurring theme of disguise and illusion underscores the idea that appearances can be deceiving, and that truth may be far more disturbing than it seems.

At its core, The Three Impostors explores themes of perception, identity, and the limits of human knowledge. The characters are drawn deeper into a labyrinth of secrets, where each revelation leads to further questions rather than answers. The novel invites readers to engage with its mysteries, piecing together clues while confronting the possibility that some truths may be beyond comprehension.

Blending elements of detective fiction with supernatural horror, Machen creates a unique reading experience that is both intellectually engaging and emotionally unsettling. His use of layered storytelling and shifting perspectives adds depth and complexity, making the novel feel like a puzzle waiting to be solved.

A significant work in the development of weird fiction, The Three Impostors has influenced generations of writers with its innovative structure and haunting themes. It remains a compelling and enigmatic tale—one that lingers in the mind, inviting readers to question what lies beneath the surface of reality.

Colder Than Ice - A gripping and...

Harambee K. Grey-Sun

She tried to end one lie. Something older and colder wouldn't let her. 
Meredith has done everything expected of her. She has tended the garden, kept the house, taken attendance, worn the ring. She has a husband who collects vintage cars and a son who orbits his father like a second satellite. She has arranged her life into neat, separate compartments — and she has told herself the compartments hold. 
Now she is trying to close the last one. One final meeting. One clean severance from the man she found on an anonymous website, the affair she conducted in hotels paid for with gift cards and cash. It should be simple. A goodbye over green tea. 
But a girl sits down across from her instead — pale, barefoot, furious — claiming to be someone who cannot possibly exist. And in the days that follow, the compartments begin to crack. Strange growths appear on Meredith's skin. Her tears freeze on her cheeks. Vegetables from her garden show up where she knows she didn't put them. The girl keeps returning, and she is not the only one. 
Colder Than Ice is a work of dark literary fiction that moves like a slow frost across glass — quiet, inexorable, and deeply disorienting. Told entirely from the interior of a woman unraveling in real time, it is a story about the lives we abort when we fail to live the ones we have, and what those unlived lives might do if they could reach us. 
For readers of psychological horror, weird fiction, and literary suspense who want their dread served cold. 
 Read by an award-winning narrator.
