  **_There’s no one above a KING... And yet, I’m restless._** I’m an uncontrollable beast that throbs in time with the heartbeat lulling me closer while a sweet, feminine scent overtakes my senses. I’ve never felt this before—a hunger so frenzied that I’m lost to its call. This siren’s song is solely meant for me, and I give in without pause or question. Because I know and accept. A single drop of blood running through her veins is worth more than every soul walking this earth. She is now what tethers me to this world. And the second I see her face, I'm done for. Nothing fucking matters. ** I AM DARKNESS.** I AM SIN. I AM YOURS. I'll live and breathe for my Queen. My pretty girl.

  Ambrose Bierce

  Chickamauga is Ambrose Bierce at his most merciless—and most poetic. A young, deaf boy, playing war with a wooden sword, wanders into the real aftermath of one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. What begins as childlike adventure slowly unfolds into a grotesque, nightmarish vision of human destruction.
  With chilling detachment and uncanny beauty, Bierce paints a surreal and horrifying picture of innocence lost in the fog of war. This story is not just a historical tale—it's a brutal commentary on the illusion of glory, the horror of conflict, and the fragile line between fantasy and reality.

  Jerry Pardoe and Jamila Patel investigate an eerie string of murders featuring missing feet and disembodied heads in the chilling horror from Graham Masterton. 
   
  A SEVERED HEAD 
   
  After a South London man is shot and killed at home, his wife swears that the offender had no feet. Even stranger, when a teacher is murdered at a local school, her pupils insist they saw disembodied feet dangling from their classroom ceiling. All across the country, victims claim the assailant was missing a body part, while others stumble upon the severed appendages. 
   
  A SUPERNATURAL CASE 
   
  It's clear these murders are neither straightforward nor easily explained, which means there are only two people fit to investigate: DS Jamila Patel and DC Jerry Pardoe, who are used to tracking spirits intent on causing mayhem. 
   
  A BLOODY HISTORY 
   
  And when two children go missing – finding themselves lost in another time period altogether – the investigation will lead to the discovery of a violent entity. One who has been killing for much longer than anyone first realised... And has no plans to stop.

  From the acclaimed author of Anno Dracula, the perfect gift for those who love the dark fantastic imaginations of Neil Gaiman and T. Kingfisher, this is a nightmarish tale of a haunted Christmas set deep in the British countryside not too long ago. Cosy traditions are made twisted and terrifying as a mother and son grapple with their painful past. 
   
  December 1st. Angie and her teenage son Rust prepare for Christmas, stringing fairy lights around their isolated home on the Somerset levels and decorating a tree with traditional ornaments. The first door of the advent calendar is opened, but the chocolate inside tastes off. Rust receives his first Christmas card, it's unsigned and the message is 'pinch, punch… first of the month'. The robin chirruping on a bough in a snowy woodland picture looks like a nasty piece of work. 
   
  The cards keep coming, one each day and each more sinister than the last, and a frightened Angie recalls The Cards - a seasonal TV show from her childhood that featured similar happenings, and while she remembers it vividly, there is no evidence that it was ever broadcast… 
   
  Christmas cheer is gradually poisoned, with cruels instead of carols, the turkey rotting in the fridge, unwelcome visits from the Merciless Gentlemen and the Jingle Basterds, and Rust becoming increasingly unwell. Angie begins to wonder if her childhood Christmases were in fact as joy filled as she remembers… 
   
  A frightening tale of seasonal dread from a master of horror.

  It's summer of 1899 and the state of Wyoming has been unresponsive for an increasingly alarming amount of time. No mail nor telegram communication has ever been sent out or responsive, which has prompted the United States Postal Inspection Service to investigate. The inspector general has selected US Postal Inspector Jed Pluck from Boston, Massachusetts to team up with another postal inspector named Louie Secoli to investigate these towns along the railroad. The peculiarity of this case, in contrast to others they had investigated previously, is that the only evidence they have is a strange, large black-red feather, sharp enough to slice through skin. 
  Leaving his family once again, Jed hitches the train with Louie, and they set off for Wyoming. Upon arriving in Cheyenne, they found Wyoming's capital deserted—and covered in the very same peculiar feathers. The next few towns along the railroad all share the same description: no bodies in sight and covered in the same feathers. 
  Only one town along the railway has been spared from the disappearances. Lemonstown, a town near the Red Desert, remains active but unaware of the fate of the other towns. Fearing that Lemonstown would be the next town to be raided, the two postal inspectors must solve the mystery of the strange creature and help the townspeople before Lemonstown becomes the next ghost town covered in feathers
