  Astonishing prophecies of the saints about The Warning, Three Days of Darkness, and more come to life in a supernatural thriller. 
  Eighteen months ago, the Earth survived a comet strike. Famine, economic depression, and soaring crime rates rode in on its tail. While the government scrambles for solutions, Gina Applegate vlogs about college life and current events. God doesn't figure large in her life. Nonetheless, Gina thinks she's a pretty good person until a mystical event called The Warning gives her a glimpse of hell, shaking her fragile faith. As the world slips deeper into darkness, the gulf between the godly and the godless widens, leaving no middle ground. Everyone must choose a side. 
  Before the comet comes, many nations, the good excepted, will be scourged by want and famine. The great nation in the ocean that is inhabited by people of different tribes and descent will be devastated by earthquake, storm, and tidal wave. It will be divided and, in great part, submerged . . . For in none of those cities does a person live according to the Laws of God. A powerful wind will rise in the North, carrying heavy fog and the densest dust, and it will fill their throats and eyes so that they will cease their butchery and be stricken with a great fear. ~Saint Hildegard (12th Century) 
  The actual prophecies upon which this novel is based are included at the end. 
  CONTENT WARNING: Comet Dust springs from a Catholic worldview. However, the story is set in a secular world in a rapid decline. Expect some strong language, sexual situations, and violence.

  A masterpiece of Victorian Gothic fiction, Uncle Silas by J. Sheridan Le Fanu is a chilling tale of inheritance, isolation, and psychological suspense. Renowned for its atmospheric intensity and slow-building tension, the novel draws readers into a world where trust is uncertain and danger often hides behind civility.
  
  The story follows a young heiress who, after the death of her father, is placed under the guardianship of a distant relative. As she is taken to a remote country estate, she begins to sense that all is not as it seems. Surrounded by secrecy, unfamiliar faces, and growing unease, she gradually becomes entangled in a situation where her safety and fortune may both be at risk.
  
  Le Fanu masterfully builds suspense through mood, suggestion, and character psychology rather than overt action, creating a deeply unsettling reading experience. The isolated setting, shadowed atmosphere, and ambiguous intentions of those around the heroine contribute to a constant sense of dread and uncertainty.
  
  Uncle Silas remains one of the defining works of Gothic literature, celebrated for its haunting narrative, richly drawn characters, and enduring influence on the tradition of psychological and suspense fiction.

  An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
  But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
  Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.

  In the city of Griffin, people are dying in droves from bizarre "accidents." But Emily Norbanus knows better. Plagued by prophetic nightmares, she's convinced an evil entity is behind the attacks. The problem? No one believes her. 
  After Emily is accused of murdering a journalist, the court orders a psychiatric evaluation to determine if she's sane enough to stand trial. Her father Amos agrees - clearly his daughter needs help. 
  But Emily is determined to expose the truth and save Griffin, even if she must do it alone. Her biggest obstacle is convincing Amos that her dreams point to one man: his enigmatic boss Arunthdati. Despite the gruesome deaths, Amos remains dedicated to Arunthdati. 
  Emily races to break his spell and persuade Amos of the coming danger before the city pays an unthinkable price. Will she prevail and prove her dreams are a gift rather than madness? Or will Emily end up another casualty in a waking nightmare? 
  Griffin’s Dream is a thrilling tale of paranormal twists that will keep you guessing until the final page. If you're a fan of Stephen King spine-tingling horrors and his ability to weave paranormal dread through ordinary lives, you'll devour this irresistible tale. 
  From An Editor, Erin Foster:-“I think you have a unique and well-told story on your hands, which is a benefit in a world where so many books being published are just re-tellings of the same old stories we've all been hearing for ages. This is especially important for you with a supernatural horror; I've read so many vampire stories at this point that they don't even have to try to put me to sleep. So reading something completely different was incredibly refreshing”

She isn't sure what she'll find. But what awaits is a web ensnaring both wayward lovers, far more tangled than either could possibly know, and lurking upon this forsaken vessel is a descent into insanity that will force CERHA to confront the bleak truth at the heart of her function.
