    "Under the Pyramids" (in draft form, also published as "Entombed with the Pharaohs") is a short story written by American fantasy author H. P. Lovecraft in collaboration with Harry Houdini in February 1924. Commissioned by Weird Tales founder and owner J. C. Henneberger, the narrative tells a fictionalized account in the first-person perspective of an allegedly true experience of escape artist Harry Houdini. Set in 1910, in Egypt, Houdini finds himself kidnapped by a tour guide, who resembles an ancient pharaoh, and thrown down a deep hole near the Great Sphinx of Giza. While attempting to find his way out, he stumbles upon a gigantic ceremonial cavern and encounters the real-life deity that inspired the building of the Sphinx. Lovecraft accepted the job because of the money he was offered in advance by Henneberg. The result was published in the May–June–July 1924 edition of Weird Tales, although it was credited solely to Houdini until the 1939 reprint. Despite Lovecraft's use of artistic license, Houdini enjoyed the tale and the two men collaborated on several smaller projects prior to the latter's death in 1926. "Imprisoned with the Pharaohs" has been suggested as an early influence on author Robert Bloch and as anticipating the cosmic themes in Lovecraft's later work, including "The Shunned House"

    Through the Looking Glass and Straight Into Hell, by Christa Carmen 
    Addiction is the perpetual epidemic, where swarms of human moths flutter to the flames of hell. Because that warm blanket of a heroin high, that joyful intoxication of a pint of vodka, that electric energy from a line of cocaine, over time leaves you with a cold loneliness and a bitter heart. Relationships destroyed, bodies deteriorate, loved ones lost, yet the craving continues for that which is killing us—living, as the title suggests, like an Orphan of Bliss. 
    Welcome to the third and final fix of addiction horror and the follow up to the Shirley Jackson Award Finalist, Lullabies For Suffering. A diverse table of contents brought together for an explosive grand finale-an unflinching look at the insidious nature of addiction, told with searing honesty but compassion for those who suffer.

    A world teetering on the edge, racing against time to prevent its downfall. 
    In the shadowy world where the supernatural realm of the Fae intersects with ours, a menacing threat stirs. The Rakshasa, a ruthless demon lord, hungers for his long-lost magical pipe and revenge. His sole intent — to bring a demonic army into our world, and take his revenge on the fae, even if it means obliterating our very existence. 
    Responding to the looming dread, the indomitable Queen of the Fae mobilizes her elite sleuths. Meet the 'Deadly Duo' — when they're on the hunt, the unsuspecting prey is already on borrowed time. Their mission? Uncover the nine arcane locks safeguarding portals to the ominous underworld, the den of the Rakshasa. 
    Fae espionage master, Elain Edeirnion and her adoptive vampire brother, Neirin, find themselves in the boroughs of New York City. Their objective? Recover the elusive Drath'Girion, a potent artifact capable of unlocking time-weathered secrets etched in another mysterious tome. 
    But the city that never sleeps is also the playground of treacherous beings. Shifter mafia overlords vie for control, while Fabiana, the enigmatic queen of the wererats, deepens the enigma with her cryptic moves. Navigating this labyrinth of danger and deception, every step draws the duo closer to the inevitable clash with the mythical Rakshasa. 
    In a thrilling saga that plumbs the depths of darkness and reveals startling truths, Elain and Neirin must employ all their wits and skills to outgame their adversaries. The stakes are cataclysmic: stem the tide of impending chaos or watch as Hell is unleashed upon humanity. Will they rise to the challenge, or will they falter? 
    Prepare yourself for a deep dive into the mystical world of the "Portals of the Red Tiger" series as turmoil and treachery unfold in Book One, "Deadly Steel."
