    There's a new evil coursing through Salem, but something about it feels eerily familiar. 
     
    Henry Trank's visions of a soul-stealing stranger are more than just nightmares—they're a warning. 
     
    When Salem's coven leader is threatened, Henry takes action. But he's not himself lately. Jagger Corey left him with a dark gift and a rage he can't control. 
     
    Lucifer, alive and scheming in the Witch City, wants it that way. 
     
    A hidden prophecy holds the key to Salem's fate. As the Prince of Darkness weaves his web of lies, Henry is driven away from his friends and family, spiraling into isolation. 
     
    Now, Henry must confront his deepest fears and the darkness within. The very soul of Salem hangs in the balance. To save the Witch City, Henry might have to sacrifice everything—his life, his soul, and his humanity. 
     
    In this thrilling fifth installment of Robert Sanborn's League of the Moon series, magic and prophecy collide. One man's choice will determine the fate of all. Can Henry uncover the truth before it's too late? Or will Salem fall to an ancient evil that threatens to destroy everything?

    The dead can’t harm you. The living can. 
     
    Why can’t a house ever be just a house? 
     
    When Ellen, Sue, and Tanya escape to a historic beachfront mansion in Biloxi, Mississippi, they expect margaritas on the balcony and sunsets over the Gulf—not a violent haunting. 
     
    From the moment they arrive, something in the house makes its presence known. Objects shift. Doors slam. The air turns ice cold. And the spirit tethered to the property is not a gentle soul seeking peace. 
     
    He is angry. 
     
    As the women dig into the home’s past, they uncover ties to one of the Gulf Coast’s darkest chapters: organized crime, orphan exploitation, and the shadowy reign of the Dixie Mafia. The spirit haunting the summer house carried damning secrets to his grave—and someone powerful worked very hard to keep them buried. 
     
    When Ellen and her friends attempt to expose the truth, the threats don’t come from beyond the grave. 
     
    They come from the living. 
     
    And this time, the danger isn’t just supernatural. 
     
    In this gripping installment of the Mystery House Series, historical corruption and present-day peril collide in a haunting tale of buried crimes, dangerous men, and the courage to bring darkness into the light.

    Ethel Lina White was born on the 2nd April 1876 in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, in Wales. 
    Her family were wealthy due to her father’s invention of a waterproofing material used, initially, for the London Underground. 
    Ethel started writing when she was only a child and published essays and poems in children’s papers.  She was also a talented artist. 
    As an adult she began to write short stories and, some years later, she started writing novels.  At the time she was working for the Ministry of Pensions in London but resigned in order to accept an advance of ten pounds and begin a career as a novelist.  It was this determination that helped her become one of the best-known crime writers in the English-speaking world during the 1930’s and 40’s. 
    Perhaps her best-known books are the ‘The Lady Vanishes’ and ‘The Spiral Staircase’ both of which were originally entitled differently but were republished with new names after being filmed.  Whilst today she lacks attention, in her day she was as popular and as highly regarded as Agatha Christie. 
    Ethel Lina White died in London on the 13th of August 1944 of ovarian cancer.  She was 68. 
    In her will she made a bizarre condition in order for her sister to receive her estate of £5737.  It read: "I give and bequeath unto Annis Dora White all that I possess on condition she pays a qualified surgeon to plunge a knife into my heart after death."   In life she had a fear of being buried alive.
