Synopsis

“A Grade A thriller . . . twisted, near-omnipotent villains, brutal violence, sharp plot twists, solid (and enthralling) historical research.” —The Vancouver Sun   Canadian Mountie Robert DeClercq and his Special X team are facing down a stolen mummy with a trail of corpses in its wake. The question is: Is this the work of one killer? Or is it some sort of diabolical conspiracy? DeClercq’s investigation leads him to a local porn king who specializes in snuff videos and a fresh trail of mutilated female bodies being dumped around the Gulf Islands. But just when DeClercq narrows in on the criminality behind these abominable murders, an old enemy returns. Not only is Mephisto determined to destroy DeClercq once and for all, but this megalomaniac won’t stop until he puts all of humanity at the brink of Death’s Door. . . .   “There are psycho thrillers and there are psycho thrillers, and the ones to watch are those by Michael Slade. This high-powered mystery stars a psycho so heinous that you might want to take a deep breath before starting this baffling case. [Death’s Door is] a story to be read with caution.” —Ottawa Citizen   “There isn’t a precedent for the barbaric brilliance of a Slade novel. With its well-researched, candid ventures into the most deranged of sick psyches, Death’s Door is a witches’ brew of intense intellectualism, police procedure, and white-knuckle, wince-inducing gore.” —Rue Morgue   “Slade has finely honed his skills . . . You’ll be up all night reading it and, before you finally sleep, you’ll check under the bed.” —The Vancouver Sun

    "The Call of Cthulhu" is a seminal horror short story by H.P. Lovecraft, first published in 1928 in the pulp magazine Weird Tales. The story is structured as a series of interconnected narratives and documents that reveal the existence of an ancient, malevolent entity known as Cthulhu. 
    The plot follows Francis Wayland Thurston, a researcher who uncovers disturbing evidence about a cult that worships Cthulhu, a monstrous, god-like being that lies dormant beneath the ocean in the sunken city of R'lyeh. Through his investigation, Thurston pieces together accounts of strange dreams, mysterious artifacts, and horrific events that point to the awakening of Cthulhu and the terrifying influence it holds over the world. 
    "The Call of Cthulhu" is noted for its exploration of cosmic horror, a theme central to Lovecraft's work, where the universe is vast, indifferent, and inhabited by incomprehensible entities far beyond human understanding. The story is a cornerstone of the Cthulhu Mythos and has had a profound impact on horror literature, inspiring numerous adaptations and works by other authors.

    From bestselling and award-winning author Cadwell Turnbull comes A Ruin, Great and Free, the stunning conclusion to the popular Convergence Saga. 
    It has been nearly two years since the anti-monster riots. The inhabitants of Moon have been very fortunate in the intervening months. Inside their hidden monster settlement, they’ve found peace, even as the world outside slips into increasing unrest. Monsters are being hunted everywhere, forced back into the shadows they once tried to escape from. Other secret settlements have offered a place to hide, but how long can this half-measure against fear and hatred last? 
    Over the course of three days, the inhabitants of Moon are tested. The Black Hand continues to search for them, and the Cult of the Zsouvox wants to make Moon the last stand in their war against the Order of Asha. This is more than enough to reckon with, but the gods have also placed their sights on Moon—and they bring with them a conflict that may either save or unravel the universe itself.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Mr. Bessel, a respectable London businessman with a passion for psychic research, resolves to prove that the human spirit can leave its body at will. One November evening, he succeeds — projecting his consciousness out of his flesh to appear before a fellow experimenter across town. But the moment his spirit slips free, something else is waiting. Torn from his own body and adrift in a howling void thronged with envious, watching things, Bessel can only look on as the intruder wearing his face rampages through the streets of London, wild-eyed and violent. To reclaim what was stolen, he must find a way back from a realm whose inhabitants have no intention of letting him go. A chilling blend of Victorian psychic science and genuine cosmic horror, "The Stolen Body" shows Wells at his darkest — asking what happens when the door between worlds opens in both directions.

    "The Transition of Juan Romero" is a short story by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, written on September 16, 1919, and first published in the 1944 Arkham House volume Marginalia. The story involves a mine that uncovers a very deep chasm, too deep for any sounding lines to hit bottom. The night after the discovery of the abyss the narrator and one of the mine's workers, a Latino called Juan Romero, venture inside the mine, drawn against their will by a mysterious rhythmical throbbing in the ground. Romero reaches the abyss first and is swallowed by it. The narrator peers over the edge, sees something - "but God, I dare not tell you what I saw!" and loses consciousness. That morning he and Romero are both found in their bunks, Romero dead. Other miners swear that neither of them left their cabin that night. The chasm has vanished as well.
