  🏕️ The annual "Campfire Tales" weekend at Whispering Pines Campground is a beloved tradition for a close-knit group of friends. But their reunion turns deadly when the most unpopular member of the group—a man known for his cruel pranks and shady business deals—is found dead near the communal fire pit, a single, handcrafted marshmallow roasting stick protruding from his chest. The local sheriff writes it off as a tragic camping accident, but outdoor guide and nature expert Fern "Fernie" Woods knows a murder weapon when she sees one. When the evidence starts to point toward her as the culprit, Fernie must use her wilderness skills to track the real killer. With help from her loyal German Shepherd, Ranger, and a handsome wildlife photographer camping nearby, Fernie discovers that every one of her friends had a motive. From a stolen inheritance and a sabotaged business to a decades-old secret buried deeper than a tent stake, the peaceful campground holds dark secrets. As a storm rolls in, trapping everyone at the campsite, Fernie realizes the killer is still among them. Can she uncover the truth before the killer decides to extinguish another life?

  The Horror at Red Hook - A...

  Howard Phillips Lovecraft is among the greatest American masters of fantasy and the supernatural.  
   
  Born in 1890, a native of Providence, Rhode Island, his health was uncertain from childhood and he led a sheltered early life. His semi-invalidism enabled him to read omnivorously, and as a shy imaginative child he began to invent what would in his adult life become a whole macabre fantastic world of his own, peopled by creatures out of his own weird imagination.  
   
  As an adult he was retiring, almost a recluse. Tall, thin and pale, but with bright alert eyes, he was much given to wandering his native city in the dark hours of the night, and he became a devoted student of its antiquities.  
   
  Although he began to write early he had nothing published until he was in his twenties. He set many of his stories around the imaginary town of Arkham, and invented an entire mythology of his own, its core being the demoniac cult of Cthulhu, based on the lore or legend that the world was at one time inhabited by another race who, in practising black magic, lost their foothold or were expelled, yet live on outside, ever ready to take possession of this earth again. 
   
  Since his early death in 1937 his stories have continued to attract attention and praise from an ever-growing audience.

  The Minerva Club might look like any other London gentlemen’s club but behind its respectable and discreet façade, some of the most ambitious schemes for heists, money-making and evasion of the law are being worked out. It’s an exclusive club for criminals. Entry qualification: members must have served a prison sentence of two years minimum. Though the club’s criminal ventures don’t always go as planned… 
  From trying to break into an old prison cell and stealing a stash of jewels hidden during a previous incarceration, love getting in the way during a hideout from the police, a cleverly planned break-in being interrupted by an unexpected guest, to figuring out where to steal a last-minute wedding cake – the club’s amiable criminals somehow always achieve their goal in the most surprising ways.   
  This collection of five short stories follows the Minerva Club’s (mis)adventures and evokes the very best of humorous classic crime fiction.
