In "The Secret Fear and Other Weird Tales," a compilation of stories by various authors, readers are transported into a labyrinth of psychological terrors and supernatural encounters. Each tale intricately weaves elements of horror with profound existential questioning, showcasing an eclectic mix of literary styles that range from the vividly grotesque to the beautifully somber. Set against the backdrop of early 20th century gothic narratives, these stories challenge the boundaries of sanity, exploring the human psyche'Äôs most intimate anxieties and fears, ultimately delving into what lurks beyond the known. The anthology features contributions from prominent figures in the genre, including H.P. Lovecraft and Algernon Blackwood, whose works were influenced by both contemporary philosophical discourses and the tumultuous social changes of their time. The authors often grappled with themes of otherness and the uncanny, reflecting their fascination with the macabre as a means to confront the uncertainties of modern existence. This collection encapsulates a diverse array of voices, illustrating the fluidity and richness of weird fiction. Perfect for fans of speculative literature and psychological horror alike, "The Secret Fear and Other Weird Tales" invites readers to surrender to the chilling atmospheres and haunting narratives that linger long after the final page. This collection is not only a testament to the enduring power of the weird tale but also a compelling reflection on the human condition itself.

    Sylph or Satan is the fourth instalment in the crime thriller series featuring DS Taylor Nicks and DC Marcus Black. A young sylph-like woman smiles sweetly as she tilts her head to the side, her eyes meeting with those of terror. He is helpless, exposed and vulnerable, his strength taken from him, his lifeless limbs incapable of saving his own life or harming her ever again. Her eyes darken as she moves closer, tiny in stature, innocent to those watching with an unhealthy desire. She whispers in his ear, and tears begin to run down his cheek as she raises a single finger to push his head beneath the water. Taylor Nicks and Marcus Black are back crime fighting once again, the streets of Edinburgh steeped in history and now the hunting ground of the innocent. The body count rises, but Taylor's team fails to make the connection and the officers are ten steps behind in the pursuit of the most unlikely serial killer. Retribution, revenge, hatred, sadness, love, lust and violence in abundance, this book will have you looking over your shoulder everywhere you go. Perhaps you won't look at others with such naivety in future... not everyone is as they seem.  Another sinister, dark and alarming story of a young woman whose world is turned upside down through no fault of her own and takes out her hate-filled revenge on anyone who crosses her path.

    JACE: In the years since everything changed in Screaming Woods, including myself, the only place I've found solace is in the woods I protect as a park ranger. I'm not sure how to deal with my new . . . attributes as a wolfman. 
     
     
     
    I'm destined to be alone now; at least that's what I assumed. Until I meet Dakota. 
     
     
     
    Dakota moves to town to open a gourmet pet treat business, but I know there is more to the story. Fate has given me something else—her, my mate. Now I'll do anything to keep her safe and make her mine, even accept the monster I've become. 
     
     
     
    DAKOTA: When looking for a place to open a brick-and-mortar store for the business I run with my best friend, I wanted to take the opportunity to move far away. Something was calling me to Screaming Woods, so I took a chance. 
     
     
     
    Opening Paws Up is going well. The town is welcoming and a little odd. I'll be able to stay out of trouble and focus on the business. 
     
     
     
    Then Jace growls his way into my life. He's a wolfman who loves nature and takes offense to my business, though I can't understand why. Hopefully my past won't come back to haunt me and try and take it all away from me. Even if it does, I'm knot running from fate.
