Summary

Paulie Galamb is the hapless hero of this story, no matter if he likes it or not. The unattractive, unassuming divorcee was good at his job as a taste-tester of lab-grown meats - until his body turned against him.
 
All Paulie ever wanted was to live his boring life inside the We-Store storage facility. Now, that dream is tossed out of the window, after a simple dental procedure takes a turn for the weird and he notices a strange growth in his throat. What's even weirder is that the tumor can speak.
 
While Paulie tries to sort out the absurd, cancerous situation, he finds out that the corporation he works for is prepared to go to any lengths to silence him before he reveals their secrets; what those secrets are is unclear to Paulie.
 
Embracing his own mortality, Paulie has to navigate a maze of off-beat neighbors, homeless teenage bullies, evil middle managers and a mysterious man who might or might not be who he claims to be. But can he find his way through and live to tell the tall tale?

    Religion, attraction, and possession collide in the wild and splatter-y west as a pair of young lovers balance their feelings for one another against their deep calling to serve their faith. Eve wants to be a nun, and Peter a priest, but is their attraction for one another stronger than the call to serve? Eve becomes possessed by a demon and this sets off a trail of murder, sex, and fire across Texas, and Arizona as the couple head to California for an exorcism. Dusty western towns, sunbaked mountains, and forgotten cemeteries prove to be the perfect places for the devil to hide.

    The Headless Horseman. Everyone knows the legend. That’s all it is, right? 
     
    When a third headless victim is found on Boston’s streets, Chloe Mayfield is tasked with finding the person behind the crime spree – no one else wants a case this weird.

    Throw in the stalker-like attentions of a deranged clown, dangerous interactions with the Salem witches, and an enemy within her own police department who intends to see her fail, and Chloe is in for an uphill battle. Not only to solve the case but to get through it alive. 
     
    Mess this up and she’s either out of a job, dead, or both.
