The Little Season

S.C. Mendes

“What in the world did I just read?!” - Sarah McCarthy, Netgalley
Hungry for a disturbing mystery?
The Little Season is part splatterpunk, part horror thriller, and totally bizarre!
Talons is a new restaurant looking for food tasters, and Jordan Carter jumped at the chance to join the focus group.
However, the qualifying questions embarrassed him. The first appetizer was a stale piece of bread. And worst of all, Jordan felt sick after the meal.
When Talons offers him double the money for a second tasting, he agrees and shrugs off the illness as a coincidence.
After the second meal, though, he’s convinced something is wrong. Daily nightmares and concerning voices culminate in Jordan vomiting blood. Doctors can find nothing physically wrong with him, and medical tests determine the blood isn’t even his.
Feeling scared and alone, Jordan dives into a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, astrology, crystal healing, secret societies, and new-age "science to unravel Talon's ancient secret.
Warning: If you can get past the first chapter, you're gonna have a good time
Early reviews
"S.C. Mendes can write the most disgusting horror, but has great characters that always remind you tomorrow is never a guarantee, but there is hope." - Dorie Koch, Netgalley
“At first I was like… I don’t think that this will be for me, I just didn’t vibe with it. But the more I read the more I couldn’t put it down, and when I read the last page I was like WHAT!!! I wanted more to the story! Fast paced, short little novel that you will either love or hate.” - Haley Carter, Netgalley
“I love the artwork throughout this book. It's a fun splatterpunk read for people who like other writers in the splatterpunk/ extreme horror genre like Nikki Noir.” - Destini Doss, Netgalley

A Watcher by the Dead

Ambrose Bierce

Title: A Watcher by the Dead 
Author: Ambrose Bierce 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1889 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Timeless Terrors #57 
Description: 
A Watcher by the Dead is a masterclass in psychological horror — a tense, claustrophobic story that proves fear itself can be deadly. 
The tale begins with a wager: one man must spend the night alone in a room with a corpse to prove that fear of the dead is mere superstition. At first, the room is silent and still, but as hours stretch on, dread slowly tightens its grip. Every shadow, every creak, every flicker of light becomes a torment, twisting his imagination into terror. The suspense crescendos as the prank meant to test courage takes a horrifying and fatal turn. 
Bierce’s story relies on atmosphere and the human mind’s susceptibility to fear rather than gore or spectacle. The terror is immediate, intimate, and unforgettable. 
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings Bierce’s chilling tale of dread and fatal curiosity vividly to life. While the text is firmly in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the masters of the macabre, A Watcher by the Dead reminds us that sometimes the most dangerous thing in a room is not the corpse itself… but the fear it inspires.
