Sinossi

“As far as historical, Vatican-connected occult thrillers go, this is a fun one, with the various timelines balanced to play off each other with verve.” —Kirkus Reviews   When a World War II bomber is excavated fifty years after disappearing during a secret mission, the pilot’s granddaughter, Liz Hannah, hires Wyatt Rook to investigate. A lawyer, historian, and detective, Rook is well-suited to follow a trail of clues that will take him from Germany, where he confronts the Third Reich’s dark history, to another site just outside of Jerusalem shrouded in sinister shadows: the crucifixion of Christ.    What Rook uncovers is a web of religious mystery surrounding a cryptic secret that, if deciphered, could destroy the very foundation of Christianity: the question of how Jesus escaped from his tomb. Using paintings and maps as clues, Rook steps deeper into a world where his enemy is none other than a modern Crusader, the Legionary of Christ, who will stop at nothing to keep the Judas puzzle—one of the most vulnerable mysteries of the Bible—from being solved.  A Fangoria Book of the Month   “If you want a series of mysteries better than the puzzles in The Da Vinci Code, Crucified is your book. Slade has all the hot buttons punched.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto)   “There are twists aplenty, scenes of gruesome torture and murder (with Inquisition tools, of course), and a series of small mysteries leading up to the larger mystery at the center of the book. It leaves one wanting more.” —Quill & Quire   “A walloping murder mystery that cuts throats and shows no quarter. Ambitiously dark, sophisticated, and complex. Enjoy.” —Fangoria

Strung

Per Jacobsen

Author Randall Morgan is on his way home after spending fourteen days in the secluded cabin where he always goes to write the endings of his books. However, when he arrives in his hometown, East Alin, he is greeted by a disturbing sight. 
At a traffic light near the city limits, someone has turned a lamppost into a makeshift gallows, and in it a man–dead and decomposing–hangs. 
The sight of the hanged man is terrifying in itself, but it soon dawns on Randall that there are other–and far greater–problems in the small town. Because while he is waiting in his car for the police to show up, several people pass by the crime scene - and not a single one of them reacts to the fact that a dead man is hanging in the middle of the street. 
Something has gone completely wrong in East Alin while Randall has been away.

Mound The: A Cthulhu Mythos Story

H.P. Lovecraft

"The Mound" is a horror novella by H. P. Lovecraft, written as a ghostwriting project for Zealia Bishop. It is often considered part of the Cthulhu Mythos due to its themes of ancient, hidden civilizations, cosmic horror, and connections to Lovecraft’s broader mythos.   
The story follows an unnamed narrator investigating a mysterious burial mound in Oklahoma, where local legends speak of ghostly apparitions and strange disappearances. He discovers a manuscript written by a Spanish explorer, Pánfilo de Zamacona, who in the 16th century found an underground civilization beneath the mound. This lost realm, K’n-yan, is an advanced but decadent society of immortal beings who wield incredible scientific and psychic powers. 
"The Mound" expands the Cthulhu Mythos by introducing K’n-yan as one of Lovecraft’s lost civilizations, echoing the fates of places like R’lyeh or the Plateau of Leng, where remnants of ancient alien presences continue to exert their influence on the world.
