Summary

A World Trade Center worker finds himself in a time loop grappling with mortality and fate as he relives the events of September 11th, 2001. 
 
The brain-damaged captive of a drug cartel mutely participates in an ancient struggle over life and death when his botched rescue lands him and a handful of military intelligence personnel and assets on a tropical island.
 
A ruralite wrestling with the decline of his childhood town observes an interloper when he finds the abandoned house he is renovating not so vacant as he thought.
 
The son of a wealthy American businessman is dragged from his frivolous life into the heights of corporate power and prestige. How he wields this newfound power rattles the foundations of the family business, and his own life.
 
In Millennium, author Marty Phillips crafts each of these four stories as part of a whole anthological novel, a glimpse into the changing world experienced by the American millennial. Antelope Hill is proud to present this thought-provoking second work of fiction from Phillips.

Biting wit and lush descriptions combine in this striking new edition of Oscar Wilde’s short story collection, which contains Wilde’s most famous story, “The Canterville Ghost.” Originally published in 1887 in the British literary magazine, The Court and Society Review. “Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime: A Study of Duty” headlines this anthology, first published in 1891. In addition to the title work, Wilde added “The Canterville Ghost,” “The Model Millionaire,” and “The Sphinx Without a Secret.” Editions dated after 1900 (including this one) also contain “The Portrait of Mr. W. H.”   In the 132 years since the publication of this collection, numerous actors, writers, and even musicians wrote adaptations of “The Canterville Ghost,” the most popular of the stories in this volume. But those adaptations also made significant changes in the plot.   Now with a foreword by Hugo-award nominee Paul Di Filippo, go back to the original. Read “The Canterville Ghost,” and the other stories as Oscar Wilde wrote them.

Terror on Every Side! The Life of Jeremiah: Volume 4 – The Darkness Deepens (Volume 4 of 6) 
Mark Morgan (Bible Tales Online – www.BibleTales.online) 
  
Jehoiakim’s body is dumped outside the gates of Jerusalem, and his son Jeconiah reigns briefly over a city under siege. 
Jeconiah surrenders and King Nebuchadnezzar takes him to Babylon – as Jeremiah had predicted – along with thousands of others. 
Zedekiah promises to be Nebuchadnezzar’s vassal, but is weak and easily led.  Will he listen to Jeremiah or to his advisors? 
Can Jeremiah survive the sly schemes of his enemies or will the promised disaster overtake them all? 
In Judah, the darkness is deepening. 
Terror on Every Side! – The series 
The words of God came to Jeremiah as a fire, burning within him, and with them, his lifetime mission – a prophet to the nations. 
Jeremiah was a prophet of God for over 40 years, warning of judgement on the nation of Judah and all the nations around.  Few would listen at all, and fewer still would take him seriously.  Jeremiah lived to see the prophecies of destruction come true.  No-one would believe his words until it was too late – and then there was Terror on Every Side!
