Synopsis

A young woman starts experiencing terrifying premonitions of people dying, as it becomes clear that a family curse known only as The Murmurs has begun, and a long-forgotten crime is about to be unearthed…
'His biggest smash hit yet, an assured paranormal thriller in which the paranormal isn't even the scariest part … A tale that leaves our interest piqued throughout, with the tension and foreboding reaching fever pitch' Herald Scotland
`A tense, creepy page-turner' Ian Rankin
`A master storyteller at the very top of his game, Michael J. Malone weaves the most exquisite tale … mesmeric and suspenseful´ Marion Todd
________________
In the beginning there was fear.
White-hot, nerve-shredding fear.
Terrifying premonitions of deaths.
And then they started…
The Murmurs…
On the first morning of her new job at Heartfield House, a care home for the elderly, Annie Jackson wakens from a terrifying dream. And when she arrives at the home, she knows that the first old man she meets is going to die.
How she knows this is a terrifying mystery, but it is the start of horrifying premonitions … a rekindling of the curse that has trickled through generations of women in her family – a wicked gift known only as 'the murmurs'…
With its reappearance comes an old, forgotten fear that is about to grip Annie Jackson.
And this time, it will never let go…
A compulsive gothic thriller and a spellbinding supernatural mystery about secrets and small communities, about faith, courage and self-preservation, The Murmurs is a startling and compulsive read from one of Scotland's finest authors…

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and human-narrated by Matthew Schmitz. The Black Pullet is a mysterious nineteenth-century grimoire framed as the memoir of a French officer who, after becoming separated from Napoleon's army during the Egyptian campaign, is rescued by an enigmatic old sage living in a hidden retreat. In gratitude, the sage initiates him into a system of occult wisdom centered on a legendary black hen capable of producing inexhaustible wealth and a series of magical rings and talismans that grant powers such as protection, healing, invisibility, commanding spirits, discovering hidden treasures, influencing others, and acquiring knowledge. Blending adventure, Hermetic symbolism, ceremonial magic, and esoteric philosophy, the narrative serves as an introduction to the grimoire's collection of magical seals and operations, presenting them as practical instruments through which the worthy practitioner may attain mastery over both the visible and invisible worlds.

    Zookeeper Imogen loves her work caring for endangered Iberian lynxes, and a promotion is on the horizon. But when a colleague betrays her, her life goes into free-fall. 
    Mike dropped out of college to raise his sisters. Now, over twenty years later, it’s finally time to live for himself. Step one of his new life: propose to his girlfriend. But an unwelcome surprise shatters his plans and the future he’s longed for slips from his grasp. 
    If Imogen wants to protect the animals she’s devoted her life to, she’ll have to adapt. If Mike wants to find his family, he needs to survive. 
    Trapped inside with the animals—and cut off from the outside world—Imogen and Mike must find a way out before the infected turn the zoo into a feeding ground. 
    Together, they must escape the zoo—before it’s as deadly as the ravenous hordes beyond its fence. 
    Narrated with gritty intensity by Guy Barnes, Undead Menagerie is a tense, character-driven zombie apocalypse survival thriller perfect for fans of Rhiannon Frater and D.J. Molles—with relentless survival, grounded characters, and zombie stories where the human cost matters as much as the body count.
