  The Battle Of The Monsters

  A microscopic war rages beneath the skin—and one tiny creature is caught in the crossfire. 
  In this darkly whimsical and surprisingly profound tale from visionary author Morgan Robertson (Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan), a cholera bacillus—elegant, peaceful, and just trying to mind his own business—finds himself swept into a surreal and deadly war inside a human bloodstream. What begins as a strange new environment quickly turns into a battlefield teeming with monstrous dog-headed rabies microbes, shapeshifting white blood cells, and strange brown invaders from an unknown realm. 
  Told from the point of view of a single bewildered microbe, The Battle of the Monsters is both a vivid science fantasy and a sharp allegory about fear, identity, and the violence of prejudice. Combining early 20th-century science with a fantastical narrative voice, Robertson paints a microscopic epic that feels as timely today as it was imaginative then. 
  Perfect for fans of Fantastic Voyage, Gulliver’s Travels, or satirical speculative fiction, this unique novella is brought to life with wit and nuance by narrator Richard Stibbard.

  Depths of Ambition - A LitRPG...

  TODAY WAS FINALLY THE DAY. 
  I bounded out of bed and checked the calendar hanging above my desk just to be sure, grinning when I saw the circled date. It was September 1st, and that meant I was finally old enough to apply for my dungeon diving license. 
  The excitement gripped me as I brushed my teeth, dripping toothpaste all over the sink as I stared back at myself in the mirror. Today wasn’t my birthday—that had happened a couple months back. 
  The first day of September was important because on this date every year, Dungeon Divers United, a special guild that monitored and maintained all the dungeons in the country of Aspatria, decreed that anyone who had either turned twenty years of age in the six months prior to September 1st, or would turn twenty years of age in the six months following, were allowed to try out for diving licenses. 
  And there was nothing in this world that I wanted more than to be a dungeon diver. Not just any diver though, but the one who completed the Path of Progression. 
  The Path of Progression was comprised of the Big Five dungeons of Aspatria. They were ranked from easiest to hardest, and only the most talented and experienced divers completed all five of them. If you managed to defeat the boss at the bottom of the fifth dungeon, you were rewarded with more riches than you knew what to do with as well as more fame than you could possibly imagine. 
  It wasn’t just the riches that drew me though. It was the sense of adventure. It was testing myself in ways that I’ve never been tested. There was also a legacy aspect to it as well, as I was reminded that morning when I entered the kitchen for breakfast. 
  My mother was standing over the toaster right as two waffles popped into the air. She caught them with the help of the plate and then dropped three dollops of butter on each of them in the shape of a smiley face. To complete the plate, she drizzled some syrup on each of them.

  The Grim Reaper has been benched. There hasn't been a soul to reap in months. 
   
   
   
  What did my brother do that has the gods in such a tizzy? 
   
   
   
  It isn't like people stopped dying. If the reapers aren't ushering the souls of the deceased into the afterlife, someone else . . . or something else . . . will do the job. 
   
   
   
  Mercenary monsters of ancient lore have emerged to fill the void. Banshees. Hellhounds. Soul-rippers. All under the command of some other god . . . 
   
   
   
  Whoever he is, he's no friend to the Olympians. 
   
   
   
  These deadly beasts can't be controlled. The more souls they harvest, the more powerful their god becomes. 
   
   
   
  Can I stop them before they ravage humanity? Before these monsters and their death-god take over the underworld forever?

And most importantly, a witch over fifty with bursitis, blood pressure meds, and zero effs to give. 
   
   
   
  I'm done with corporate life after a life-changing stroke followed by a heart attack and a subsequent quadruple bypass. Clearly, it was time for a change. 
   
   
   
  So I moved back to my hometown and my passion. Interior design. Nowadays, you can find me happily decorating houses for my best friend, house flipper, and real estate agent, Fabiola Fabrizio. 
   
   
   
  There's only one problem. Ghosts. Sooo many ghosts. Ghosts I started to see after my bypass surgery (cliché, right?). 
   
   
   
  When a guy named Ferris Leopold is found dead at the house next door to the one I'm staging, it's full steam ahead to solve his murder. Or is it? Ferris was a lowdown dirty, albeit petty thief in life and I'm struggling to set aside my morals in order to help him. 
   
   
   
  But as I dig deeper into Ferris's past, meet a hot AF silver fox of a man, and explore my new powers in the process, I discover not everything is as it seems . . .
