My Daddy The Serial Killer - A...

Cindy Kovacik

Katelyn Deason was naïve and innocent at six years old. But she made the mistake of descending those cellar steps . . . the residence of horror.
 
You see, her father wasn’t who she thought he was. He wasn’t the loving, “normal” daddy all the other kids had. He was different. Katelyn soon realizes just how different as the years pass and unspeakable things begin to happen.
 
“This is more than the typical psychological thriller, horror, or serial killer novel. This book follows the story of the daughter— not the serial killer. It travels alongside her, witnessing what she goes through with her father and how it shapes her life.” —Cindy Kovacik
 
This book is intended for readers 18+.

The Laws of the Skies

Grégoire Courtois

Winnie-the-Pooh meets The Blair Witch Project in this very grown-up tale of a camping trip gone horribly awry. 
Twelve six-year-olds and their three adult chaperones head into the woods on a camping trip. None of them make it out alive. The Laws of the Skies tells the harrowing story of those days in the woods, of illness and accidents, and a murderous child. 
Part fairy tale, part horror film, this macabre fable takes us through the minds of all the members of this doomed party, murderers and murdered alike.
