  Santa Claws

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  The story "Santa Claws" centers on Elias Thorne, a skeptical history teacher who moves to the isolated, snowbound town of Northwood with his young daughter, Lily. Elias quickly discovers the town's unsettling secret: their local legend, Santa Claws, is a dark, ancient entity who grants children precisely what their hearts desire, but at a terrible cost. This "Ancient Pact" demands that the town's adults maintain a state of enforced ignorance. Any adult who witnesses Santa Claws or attempts to expose the truth is struck with the "Northwood Winter Sickness"—a precise, diagonal facial laceration that results in permanent blindness and the surgical erasure of their memory, a state the Claws calls "oblivion." This sacrifice protects the children's "pure belief," which is the source of the Claws's power. 
  Elias, driven by his rational mind and a desperate need to protect Lily, investigates the town's history, finding evidence of the annual ritual in medical records and forbidden texts. He learns that the Claws's violence is not random malice, but a twisted form of preservation. On Christmas Eve, Elias attempts to confront the entity, but is swiftly overwhelmed by the Claws and his goblin servants. He is blinded and his memory is erased, becoming a silent, sightless guardian of the very lie he sought to destroy. 
  Years later, Lily returns as a college student, her childhood belief replaced by a keen, questioning mind. She uncovers the truth of the Pact and her father's sacrifice. On a subsequent Christmas Eve, she confronts Santa Claws, choosing truth over the "perfect gift" by destroying her cherished music box. This act breaks the foundation of the Claws's power. The entity vanishes, and the adults of Northwood collectively regain their sight and their traumatic memories. The town is forever changed, choosing the imperfect, honest reality over the beautiful, terrible lie. Elias, though permanently blind, finds peace as the town's living memory.

  No light. No air. No escape. 
  Hundreds of feet beneath the ocean's surface, a graveyard waits... 
  Years ago, the SS Arcadia vanished without a trace during a routine voyage. Though a strange, garbled emergency message was broadcast, neither the ship nor any of its crew could be found. Sixty years later, its wreck has finally been discovered more than three hundred miles from its intended course...a silent graveyard deep beneath the ocean's surface, eagerly waiting for the first sign of life. 
  Cove and her dive team have been granted permission to explore the Arcadia's rusting hull. Their purpose is straightforward: examine the wreck, film everything, and, if possible, uncover how and why the supposedly unsinkable ship vanished. 
  But the Arcadia has not yet had its fill of death, and something dark and hungry watches from below. With limited oxygen and the ship slowly closing in around them, Cove and her team will have to fight their way free of the unspeakable horror now desperate to claim them.

  Pignon Scorbion & The Barbershop...

  For fans of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot, author Rick Bleiweiss’s quirky new detective and ensemble cast of characters set against the backdrop of small-town England in the 1910s will feel both comfortingly familiar and thrillingly new in the first installment of this multi-award-winning series. 
  The year is 1910, and in the small and seemingly sleepy English market town of Haxford, there’s a new police Chief Inspector. At first, the dapper and unflappable Pignon Scorbion strikes something of an odd figure among the locals, who don’t see a need for such an exacting investigator. But it isn’t long before Haxford finds itself very much in need of a detective. 
  Luckily, Scorbion and the local barber are old acquaintances, and the barbershop employs a cast of memorable characters who—together with an aspiring young ace reporter for the local Morning News—are nothing less than enthralled by the enigmatic new police Chief Inspector.  
  Investigating a trio of crimes whose origins span three continents and half a century, Pignon Scorbion and his “tonsorial sleuths” interview a parade of interested parties, but with every apparent clue, new surprises come to light. And just as it seems nothing can derail Scorbion’s cool head and almost unerring nose for deduction, in walks Thelma Smith—dazzling, whip-smart, and newly single. 
  Has Pignon Scorbion finally met his match?
