  Tisha Page is a nurse at Harmony Nursing and Rehabilitation. She cares about her patients, trying to connect with their grief and loss—but it's hard when she's fighting her own battle against sleep deprivation and corporate indifference. The one patient she is able to truly connect with is Nathaniel. Tisha and Nathaniel couldn't be more different, except they both know what it's like to be born a size too big for this world. Too angry, too large, and too inconvenient to ever truly fit in with the rest of society. 
   
  As Nathaniel rages against the slow decay of his life, Tisha begins to see a monster stalking the dismal halls of the Harmony nursing home. Worse than death, the monster wants to take from the patients while they're still alive until they're nothing but husks of their former selves. Tisha must overcome her own slow decay at the hands of apathy and bureaucracy before the monster can take everything she has left.

  For generations, Hollywood has attracted all sorts of dreamers―and then has slowly crushed their aspirations. Elliott Gross is one such case; fresh out of college, he moved west from New York with hopes of writing for the silver screen and living a life of fame and fortune. A couple of years later, he's writing for an adult magazine and living in a garage. The year is 1994 and, with the rise of the internet, the era of print pornography is in its twilight, but Raunchy's owner has enough "catch-and-kill" secrets in the vault to ensure that his power will persist as long as his silence remains valuable. 
   
   
   
  When Gross is sent to write a profile on the company's newest starlet, he discovers that she has vanished seemingly without a trace. To find her, he embarks on a twisted journey through a business both seedy and carnivalesque. Rumors of a sensitive VHS tape held in the vault, which may hold the secret to Crystal's whereabouts, stir around Elliott and he stumbles into a corpse. Before his search can be concluded, Gross's position is terminated. Then he washes up at a celebrity-anchored New Age wellness brand and discovers a world far darker and more cruel than the porn industry. 
   
   
   
  Behind Sunset is a comic and noir-tinged tour through Tinseltown that uncovers darkness and lightness, in equal measure, from the most unexpected of sources.

  🪡 Vintage button shop owner Pearl Button is organizing a historical fashion exhibit when the town's most ruthless antique dealer is found dead in her shop—with a rare Victorian button shank lodged in his throat. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Pearl recognizes the button as part of a missing set from a legendary 19th-century gown and notices the victim's collection contains forged Civil War-era buttons. With her shop temporarily closed and the antique community buzzing with suspicion, Pearl must fasten together an investigation that spans centuries. Assisted by her sewing circle and the handsome museum curator researching local textile history, Pearl uncovers a scheme involving button counterfeiting, stolen military insignia, and a black market for historic fasteners. From suspicious thread holes that reveal modern manufacturing to enamel colors that don't match the period, every button tells a story. But when Pearl discovers the victim was blackmailing collectors about their forged collections and stolen heirlooms, she realizes the killer is protecting a reputation more fragile than porcelain. With the fashion exhibit opening soon and the real culprit still sewing deception, Pearl must stitch together the truth before her own button box gets permanently closed.
