Highly enjoyable.” —Time Out London   An American feminist is found hanging, her body slashed to shreds, her face flayed. Two hookers are murdered, their corpses mutilated in a similar pattern. These gruesome deaths are only the beginning of the trail Canadian Mountie Robert DeClercq will follow as he attempts to catch a brutal psychopath. It’s a journey that takes him through the history of Satanism and the occult, searching for a serial killer’s demons.

From Whose Bourne - A Murdered...

Edward Richardson

What if you woke up to find yourself dead, only to discover you were the victim of a calculated murder? 
On Christmas Eve, wealthy businessman William Brenton retires to his room feeling indisposed, leaving a vibrant holiday party downstairs. He wakes not to the morning sun, but to the horrifying sight of his own lifeless body on the bed. Navigating the disorienting, invisible realm of the recently deceased, Brenton uncovers an even darker nightmare: he was poisoned with morphine, and his beloved, innocent wife Alice has been arrested for his murder. 
Helpless to speak to the living, Brenton must ally with eccentric spirits from the world beyond—including a fiercely determined deceased Chicago journalist and the legendary French detective, Monsieur Lecocq. Together, this phantom investigative team must decipher the clues of the mortal world, untangle a web of jealousy and hidden revenge, and find the true killer before Alice is sent to the gallows. 
Edward Richardson's From Whose Bourne is a brilliant twist on the classic locked-room mystery. Blending supernatural suspense with gripping courtroom drama and sharp investigative thrills, this clever whodunit proves that some mysteries are so compelling, they transcend death itself.

Title: Wolfshead
Series Name: Timeless Terrors
Series Entry: 118
Author: Robert E. Howard
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne
Original Publication: 1924
Public Domain: Yes
Description:
Wolfshead is a dark and visceral tale of lycanthropic horror set in the wild borderlands of French colonial Africa.
The story follows De Montour, a brooding and capable adventurer living on the fringes of civilization. Haunted by a terrible affliction, he carries a curse that sets him apart from other men — one that emerges beneath the full moon in a transformation both savage and uncontrollable. When a ruthless Arab slaver named Saheem seeks vengeance against him, De Montour’s hidden nature becomes the fulcrum upon which survival balances.
As tensions rise and the African night closes in, primal violence and supernatural terror intertwine. Howard blends relentless action with gothic horror, crafting a story where the beast within proves both a curse and a weapon.
First published in Weird Tales in 1924, Wolfshead was Robert E. Howard’s first professional sale, marking the beginning of the career of one of the most influential pulp writers of the twentieth century. In this early yet powerful tale, listeners will recognize Howard’s signature intensity — vivid atmosphere, raw physicality, and the thin line between civilization and savagery.
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s ferocity, brooding tension, and supernatural dread, bringing Howard’s early masterpiece vividly to life.

An engaging supernatural mystery novel about family secrets, the price of vengeance, and learning to move on after loss. -- Clarion Reviews
Eerie, surprising, and profoundly emotional, The House on Tyner by Matthew O'Connell is a beautifully written ghost story with the structure of a mystery. A powerfully written ghost story that manages to be appealingly realistic, while also questioning the boundaries of the tangible world. Giving a poetic side to the enigmatic and haunted, the novel is unique in the paranormal genre. ★★★★½ -- Self-Publishing Review
5 out of 5 stars. I found nothing to dislike about this novel. I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery novel. My eyes were glued to the pages by the end of the book. The author included many plot twists and turns to keep readers engaged throughout the novel. As someone who often shies away from ghost stories due to cheesiness, I wholeheartedly recommend this book, as it is a decidedly realistic portrayal of the paranormal. -- OnlineBookClub
