  The Horror in the Burying-Ground

  In the fading New England village of Stillwater, the dead are supposed to lie quietly. But when a violent drunk collapses and is mistakenly declared dead, and an undertaker experimenting with strange embalming fluids meets the same fate, the earth refuses to keep their secrets buried. 
  At the heart of it all is Sophie Sprague—fearful, isolated, and trapped beneath the shadow of her brutal brother Tom and the unwanted attentions of Henry Thorndike, the town’s unsettling undertaker. When both men are laid to rest in a hurried double funeral, their passing stirs whispers through the town. Henry’s dying plea—“I am not dead… do not bury me!”—is brushed aside. But that night, Sophie hears voices rising faintly from the burying-ground, voices that call her by name… voices that accuse. 
  Meanwhile, Johnny Dow, the simple-minded boy who assisted Henry, roams the graveyard claiming the dead are trying to speak—and that they are not done with Sophie. 
  Written by Hazel Heald and H. P. Lovecraft, The Horror in the Burying-Ground is a chilling tale of guilt, rumor, and premature burial—where the line between conscience and the supernatural blurs, and the past refuses to stay underground. 
  Narrated with atmospheric tension by Phil Thompson, this classic short horror story delivers creeping dread the way only early 20th-century New England terror can.

  Minnie and Bert are over the moon to have their three grown-up children home for the first time in a decade. But having Lizzie, Jess, Owen and the grandchildren under one roof isn’t without its dramas. 
  Lizzie is off the alcohol (although emergency gin doesn’t count), Jess is juggling a toddler and a newborn, but it’s Owen who has the power to throw a grenade into everything. 
  It all stems from an incident that happened years ago. And it involves Nora Skelly – a name you don't mention in front of Minnie. 
  With Nora also back in town, the past is about to come crashing into the present. And what better time to revisit old secrets and resentments than around the family dinner table?

  The most elite team you’ve never heard of. 
  By day, Jonathan Roy is the president of a prestigious tech university. But when duty calls, he’s the commanding officer of an elite National Guard Special Forces team—highly trained part-time warriors with full-time firepower. 
  When sophisticated drone and cyberattacks cripple key infrastructure across the U.S., the digital fingerprints point to Jon’s gifted teenage son. Framed, hunted, and in the crosshairs of both law enforcement and international adversaries, Jon must rally his unconventional team: a combat-hardened SWAT team leader, a cyber warfare PhD with a troubled past, and a medic who juggles emergency room chaos with battlefield trauma. 
  But what begins as a domestic manhunt to find the true culprit spirals into a globe-spanning pursuit—from ambushes in Seattle streets to drone strikes on rare earth mines of Bulgaria and data wars in the darkest corners of the web. As the team races against the clock, they uncover a brutal conspiracy that could bring America to its knees—and make Jon’s son the face of its collapse. 
  Perfect for fans of Brad Taylor, Jack Carr, and Mark Greaney, Guard U.S. delivers an explosive fusion of high-tech warfare, cyber sabotage, and unsung heroism—where every firefight, data breach, and moral decision counts.
