  Widely considered as the first collection of non-traditional ghost stories, The Ghost Book combines twisted tales from some of the literary greats of the early 1900s: Algernon Blackwood, D.H. Lawrence, Oliver Onions, Enid Bagnold, and Arthur Machen.       Settle in by the fire for these classic, influential tales, where ghosts roam the woods, the roads, and possibly the room where you sleep. Some ghosts want redemption, some revenge, and some simply want peace and quiet. Some aren’t real ghosts after all.       A woman comes face to face with the terrifying killer of her fiancé’s first bride. A young boy learns the names of winning race horses in an unexpected way. A man’s vast wealth can’t save him from his past sins. When a lost play is discovered, the ghost of Shakespeare will do anything to keep it forgotten.       Settle in, settle in. And discover which ghost is creeping up the stairs.       Now with a foreword from Kevin J. Anderson, bestselling author of over 175 novels, who may still see ghosts after reading this collection as a kid.

  Where the lighthouse no longer illuminates, ghostly lore and legends emerge . . .  
   
  1874 
  A battered woman awakens atop a forgotten gravesite by Lake Superior's southern shore. Identified only by the locket around her neck inscribed with the name Rebecca, she seeks refuge with an elderly lighthouse keeper. But as Rebecca struggles to remember who she is, she finds herself haunted by the lingering memories of Annabel, a mysterious woman who perished in the lake's unforgiving waves years earlier. With the spirit of Annabel seemingly reawakened, and an unknown adversary on the hunt to silence Rebecca once and for all, more is at stake than reclaiming her own memories. Rebecca must reclaim Annabel's as well.   
   
  Present Day 
  Author and researcher Shea Radclyffe escapes to the lighthouse outside a historic Michigan mining town to seek clarity about her failing marriage. Instantly drawn to the lighthouse's landlord, Shea contends with the legend of Annabel's vengeful ghost and a superstitious community that has buried the truth about a current murder. As the secrets harbored around Annabel's lighthouse unravel, Shea must navigate a fight between torn loyalty, self-discovery, and the haunting forces of love. 
   
  . . . demanding vengeance for secrets that should have drowned a century before.

  Frightening Phantoms - A Short...

  We love control.  The ability to predict and organise our lives as we want them. As we desire them.  It’s quite a shock then when Phantoms, Ghouls and Ghosts play their part too.  They don’t play by our rules.  Our welfare is not their concern.  They will do as they wish.  And they have very vivid imaginations —way beyond the dictionary definition – Phantom. Noun. Something apparently seen, heard, or sensed, but having no physical reality. An image that appears only in the mind; an illusion. A model, especially a transparent one, of the human body or of any of its parts.

  Vampires have brought war to Maidstone. Eddie is the only thing standing in their way. 
  But how can a warlock without magic defeat an army of vampires? 
  Dead Warlock: Book 5 
  The Dead Warlock has risen and his eye is on Eddie 
  His name is a whisper in the darkness. He is a shadow in the night. For centuries he stalked the earth leaving death and destruction in his wake. Sorcerers feared to talk of him. Vampires feared to face him. Then one day he was simply gone. Vanished. Dead. But can the world's most powerful warlock ever truly die? 
  Eddie must choose a side. The sorcerers or the warlocks. Whatever he chooses will shape his future, but will it be for better or for worse? 
  Undead Warlock: Book 6 
  Eddie has to save his friends, stop the apocalypse, and avoid eternal damnation. And he’s only got three days to do it… 
  Eddie must retrieve the Ambrotos Dagger. The task seems easy enough until Eddie tries to do it. 
  The dagger is nowhere to be found and the world is very much changed. Eddie’s explosive sacrifice exposed the supernatural community to the world and not everyone is very happy about it. Old enemies, supernatural and human, emerge from the woodwork to exact revenge on Eddie, and he soon finds himself in the midst of a war between vampires, sorcerers, necromancers, and zombies.
