Dawn of Legacy

Beschreibung

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

The Outsider

H.P. Lovecraft

"The Outsider" is a short story by American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written between March and August 1921, it was first published in Weird Tales, April 1926. In this work, a mysterious individual who has been living alone in a castle for as long as he can remember decides to break free in search of human contact and light. "The Outsider" is one of Lovecraft's most commonly reprinted works and is also one of the most popular stories ever to be published in Weird Tales."The Outsider" combines horror, fantasy, and gothic fiction to create a nightmarish story, containing themes of loneliness, the abhuman, and the afterlife. Its epigram is from John Keats' 1819 poem "The Eve of St. Agnes".In a letter, Lovecraft himself said that, of all his tales, this story most closely resembles the style of his idol Edgar Allan Poe, writing that it "represents my literal though unconscious imitation of Poe at its very height." The opening paragraphs echo those of Poe's "Berenice", while the horror at the party recalls the unmasking scene in "The Masque of the Red Death".

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.

The Upper Berth

F. Marion Crawford

Title: The Upper Berth
Author: F. Marion Crawford
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne
Original Publication: 1886
Public Domain: Yes
Series Placement: Number 31 in the Timeless Terrors series
Description:
The Upper Berth by F. Marion Crawford is one of the most chilling ghost stories ever set upon the sea — a tale of isolation, disbelief, and a horror that defies explanation. A seasoned traveler boards an Atlantic steamer and takes lodging in a cabin known for its peculiar reputation. When strange noises, cold drafts, and unexplainable presences begin to disturb the night, curiosity turns to terror — and the truth behind the “upper berth” is revealed in a climax of pure dread.
Crawford’s mastery lies in his restrained realism and his ability to build unbearable tension from the ordinary. What begins as a skeptical sailor’s anecdote becomes a haunting confrontation with something that refuses to stay beneath the waves.
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance channels the claustrophobic suspense and mounting fear of Crawford’s maritime masterpiece. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne.
Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the dark legends of classic horror, The Upper Berth remains a cornerstone of the ghost story tradition — a tale where disbelief drowns in the face of the uncanny.
Prepare for a voyage into the unknown — where the sea is not the only thing that stirs at night, and the upper berth waits for its next occupant.
