The Graveyard Queen is called upon to solve an age-old mystery that threatens her life—and her sanity—in this suspenseful urban fantasy series. 
 
My name is Amelia Gray, the Graveyard Queen. Restoring abandoned cemeteries is my profession, but my true calling is deciphering the riddles of the dead. Now I’m being summoned to solve a legendary mystery. Half a century after their mass death, Ezra Kroll’s disciples lie unquiet, their tormented souls trapped within the walls of Kroll Cemetery, waiting to be released by someone strong and clever enough to solve the puzzle. 
 
Legend has it that the answer is hidden within the strange headstone inscriptions and intricate engravings—and that uncovering the mystery may come at a terrible price. Every lead I follow, every clue I unravel brings me closer to an unlikely killer and to a destiny that will threaten my sanity and a future with my love, John Devlin.

Through the Looking Glass and Straight Into Hell, by Christa Carmen 
Addiction is the perpetual epidemic, where swarms of human moths flutter to the flames of hell. Because that warm blanket of a heroin high, that joyful intoxication of a pint of vodka, that electric energy from a line of cocaine, over time leaves you with a cold loneliness and a bitter heart. Relationships destroyed, bodies deteriorate, loved ones lost, yet the craving continues for that which is killing us—living, as the title suggests, like an Orphan of Bliss. 
Welcome to the third and final fix of addiction horror and the follow up to the Shirley Jackson Award Finalist, Lullabies For Suffering. A diverse table of contents brought together for an explosive grand finale-an unflinching look at the insidious nature of addiction, told with searing honesty but compassion for those who suffer.

Warning: Foul-mouthed cat ahead  
Prof Croft here and, yes, I trapped a murderous succubus in a kitten’s body and made her my pet. The alternative was to behead her, and as wizards go, I’m just not that callous. 
Do you think Tabitha shows any appreciation? Two years old now, her speech has grown along with her girth, and when not insulting me, she’s plotting ways to devour my soul. 
But that’s the least of my problems. An early winter storm has plunged our unheated apartment to near freezing, and I’m too cash-strapped to afford a chimney sweep. So when a strange woman appears, asking me to investigate an attack at an old smallpox hospital, I accept the case along with her vague offer of compensation. 
And If I can involve Tabitha, who knows? Maybe we’ll finally start bonding. 
Sure, and maybe Hell will host the next Winter Games. 
Croft & Tabby is a spinoff of the popular Prof Croft series, set before the main books. If you like snarky cats, fledgling mages, and supernatural investigations, you'll love Croft & Tabby!
