The Stain

Ruschelle Dillon

Sinopse

Born of bloodshed, a prolific stain, fed by the sins of earliest man....The Simmons moved into 228 Briar Street. With two growing children needing a stable routine and a house to call home, Marc and Claire settled into the old red brick, unaware of the neighborhood's dirty little secret. In the dark and unfamiliar depths of the basement it lurks. It desires to manipulate the family into destructive chaos as it has countless times past and as far back as there were settlers in this plot of land, feed upon both flesh and the ecstasy of its dark influence. And not just in this house. It is old, mischievous, and inherently evil. It is...THE STAIN. Ruschelle Dillon's brand of humor has been incorporated in a wide variety of projects, including the popular and bizarre novelette "Bone-sai," and this work reflects upon her talent this time in a dark and disturbing way, a tale of ancient evil resurrected in modern-day urban setting that only Ms. Dillon can tell, enough to satisfy any avid horror fan and will haunt you long after taking it all in from beginning to end.

The Saint and the Shadowman

A. B. Finlayson

Arthur Crazy is hungover, but the dead don't care about headaches.


The city of York is teetering on the edge of disaster. During a rare eclipse, the Shadowman casts a spell atop the Minster, trapping the city between the realm of the living and the dead. Ghosts flood the streets, and Arthur, with his best friend Steve, is the only one who can stop the chaos.


But Arthur's not exactly in hero shape. Haunted by his past and drowning his sorrows in the nearest pint, he's barely keeping it together. That is, until he meets Nae—a beautiful stranger who might just hold the key to helping him feel normal again.


Now, with the Shadowman's spell tearing the veil between worlds, the city's only hope rests on a washed-up hero, a saint from the Shambles, and a dog who won't stop talking. York needs a miracle. Arthur needs another drink.


Or maybe a Panadol and a panini

The Hush Tide Bridegroom - A...

John Newbill

In a sinking city fueled by ritual murder, a bone-mason unearths a monster bound in silver—and chooses to save him.
Saint Mire is sinking. Plagued by the corrosive black waters of the Hush Tide, the cliffside principality survives only through strict adherence to the covenant economy—a ruthless system of magical bindings, noble bloodlines, and dark sacrifices made to appease the eldritch horror sleeping beneath the harbor. Lenore Locke is just a municipal bone-mason, spending her days in the sprawling catacombs patching the failing foundations with grave-salt mortar. Haunted by her sister's drowning, she keeps her head down and obeys the magistrates. Until she breaches a hidden wedding crypt and uncovers Draven Darkmoor.
Draven is a reliquary bridegroom, a terrifyingly beautiful nobleman grafted with monstrous traits and sealed in a silver cradle decades ago to pacify the city's beast. Waking him is high treason. Handing him over to the fanatical clerics means certain death for them both. As the foundations of the city threaten to collapse and the magistrates hunt for a new sacrifice, Lenore makes a desperate choice: she will not let another soul be swallowed by the dark.
Why you will love this: This audiobook delivers a masterful blend of Dark Fantasy elements, weaving high-stakes political intrigue, atmospheric gothic world-building, and a spellbinding slow-burn monstrous romance. Fans of eldritch horror and grimdark survival will be absolutely captivated by the claustrophobic tension of the sluice-tombs and the intricate bone-magic of Saltgrave.
Author and narrator John Newbill possesses a uniquely immersive storytelling style, drawing listeners into a cinematic, chillingly beautiful world with a rich, resonant performance you won't easily forget.
