  Feeling guilty at not having made his engagement to April official over the Christmas holidays, Jerry seeks to join her and Max for their annual after-Christmas getaway to Frankenmuth, Michigan. 
  Not only is he looking forward to visiting the quaint Bavarian town, but since the town is known to visitors as a Christmas town, he sees this as a way to recreate the holiday spirit and finally make a commitment to both April and her daughter. 
  What Jerry doesn’t expect is to be drawn into a bidding war at a local estate sale or play referee to two spirits who discover he can see them and demand he help settle their differences. 
  Just when Jerry thinks he has things under control, the Ghost of Christmas Past makes his presence known in the merry little town, causing things to feel a tad less jolly. 
  Will Jerry be able to restore the status quo in the beautiful Christmas town in time to ask April to be his bride before they return home? Or will his plan be thwarted by things beyond his control? 
  Find out when Jerry, Gunter, and the gang return in Merry Me, book fifteen of The Jerry McNeal Series.

  "The Dunwich Horror" is a horror short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written in 1928, it was first published in the April 1929 issue of Weird Tales. It takes place in Dunwich, a fictional town in Massachusetts. It is considered one of the core stories of the Cthulhu Mythos. In the isolated, desolate, decrepit village of Dunwich, Massachusetts, Wilbur Whateley is the hideous son of Lavinia Whateley, a deformed and unstable albino mother, and an unknown father (alluded to in passing by mad Old Whateley, as "Yog-Sothoth"). Strange events surround his birth and precocious development. Wilbur matures at an abnormal rate, reaching manhood within a decade. Locals shun him and his family, and animals fear and despise him due to his odor. All the while, his sorcerer grandfather indoctrinates him into certain dark rituals and the study of witchcraft. Various locals grow suspicious after Old Whateley buys more and more cattle, yet the number of his herd never increases, and the cattle in his field become mysteriously afflicted with severe open wounds...

  Several years ago, a series of documents were discovered in the dusty archives of the library at [REDACTED] College. They seemed to detail certain events leading up to the fire that destroyed the Colin Malatrat Museum of Curious Oddities and Strange Antiquities. These documents were assembled and published in an attempt to solve the mystery surrounding the museum's destruction. 
  This second edition contains previously unpublished narratives, a newly restructured format, and an annotator's introduction to the second edition. If you have any information regarding the fire, or the whereabouts of any of the narrators, please contact the publisher of this book.

  The human race prides itself on being the most organised of animals.  We manage the fate of all other species. All other animals bow to our control or suffer.  In diminishing numbers we allow some to live in the wild but in increasing numbers we domesticate them and whether they become part of the family, a best friend or wonderfully decorative accessory we take their compliance for granted.  Such a shame then when these creatures take umbrage and prepare their revenge on us they do so in ways designed to show that when the tables turn ‘mercy’ is just a word that we humans plead for, expect, but, of course, is always denied.
