Sinopse

A teenager must rely on deadly magic taught by an elderly neighbor to protect her family in this coming-of-age story. After the death of their abusive patriarch, sixteen-year-old Desiree “Dez” Sarpe and her family moved to the high plains of Wyoming for a fresh start. Life is quieter now, but peace doesn’t put food on the table. Unable to get a job, Dez reluctantly stays home—before following a track in the long grass and finding Granny Iyaga. Granny hires Dez for housecleaning, and also begins teaching her peculiar things. School starts, winter approaches, and for the first time, Dez begins to relax. But there are dangers other than lightning and rattlesnakes out on the plains, and one has targeted the Sarpes. Dez has learned a thing or two about protecting her family . . . . . . but it might not be enough.Praise for Rattlesnake Wind “Mixes daring magic with teenage romance . . . Saintcrow’s writing is sharp and poignant. . . . The magic provides a satisfying backdrop for the family drama that unfolds.

    "From Beyond" is a horror short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. It was written in 1920 and was first published in The Fantasy Fan in June 1934. The story is told from the first-person perspective of an unnamed narrator and details his experiences with a scientist named Crawford Tillinghast. Tillinghast creates an electronic device that emits a resonance wave, which stimulates an affected person's pineal gland, thereby allowing them to perceive planes of existence outside the scope of accepted reality. Sharing the experience with Tillinghast, the narrator becomes cognizant of a translucent, alien environment that overlaps our own recognized reality. From this perspective, he witnesses hordes of strange and horrific creatures that defy description. Tillinghast reveals that he has used his machine to transport his house servants into the overlapping plane of reality. He also reveals that the effect works both ways, and allows the alien creature denizens of the alternate dimension to perceive humans. Tillinghast's servants were attacked and killed by one such alien entity, and Tillinghast informs the narrator that it is right behind him. Terrified beyond measure, the narrator picks up a gun and shoots it at the machine, destroying it. Tillinghast dies immediately thereafter as a result of apoplexy. The police investigate the scene and it isplaced on record that Tillinghast murdered the servants in spite of their remains never being found.

    Gear up for a frightful jaunt into the darkest reaches of the ancient Appalachians. 
    Folks deep within the Appalachian hollers lean close to the campfire to share stories of the inexplicable with hushed awe. Monsters rumbling in the hills. Strange lights darting through the pitch-black night sky. Horrible occurrences, almost ineffable in their bizarre tragedy. 
    "Tall tales," you might say. 
    Tell that to the Flatwoods monster in Braxton County, West Virginia. Or the Goat Man of Louisville—look into his humanoid eyes and let him know you don't believe. And what of those apparitions in Mammoth Cave's Corpse Rock, or the Satan-spawn known as the Jersey Devil that attacked a trolley car? How do you respond when confronted by these mysteries? 
    From metaphysical energy that swirls near the Serpent Mound in Ohio to Point Pleasant's Mothman legacy, Mark Muncy and Kari Schultz explore the dark history lurking in the shadows of Appalachia. 
    Ready by Mark Muncy, author and expert on the strange with appearances on shows such as Ancient Aliens, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, Return of Robert the Doll, and more!

    Durante just does his job and hopes he gets a break. When he's not drinking or enjoying some good eats, he's policing Vampires of all things with the aid of an Empath who's not really his type. Meanwhile, two nefarious Vamps by the names of Ryker and Malik are brewing up a storm with hopes of a takeover, or at the very least upsetting the Vampire-Human coexistence. 
     If that isn't enough, his pals are dropping like flies. 
     Now it's up to Durante and a couple of shrewd agents to get to the bottom of the recent slayings and uncover the mystery to a set of books known as the Lycan. They must, before the wrong hands do, and the world plummets into a kind of hell, that which no one, not even Vampires, wants to enter. 
     Blood matters.
