The Shadows are coming...

In a small country town a young mother hangs clothing on the clothesline while her toddler plays on the lawn beside her. When her son's happy gibberish suddenly breaks off into choked gasps, his mother is horrified to find him wrapped in her shadow, choked and grey and gasping for breath.

The Shadows are coming....

A man sits in a park feeding pigeons, shadows pooling around his feet. A pigeon strays too close and the man's shadow drops over it like a blanket, devouring it in a puff of dust and feathers.

The Shadows are coming...

When Ben Reilly returns to his home town of Casino, he's hoping for little more than the familiar comforts of home and a place to clear his head. Instead, he finds a town full of strange, hungry people with jet black eyes and shadows that tug at their heels like hungry dogs.

And like dogs, they need to feed...

Searching the internet for answers, Ben draws the attention of a mysterious stranger with no shadow who claims to be impervious to the effects of the shadows. Known only as Shade, the stranger will lead Ben into the heart of darkness in a centuries old battle against these sinister Shadoweaters, people who are little more than appendages to the living shadows that have infected them.

Dati Amon wants to be free from his satyr master and he hates his job--hunting human children who display demon balefire. Every hunt has been successful, except one. A thwarted attempt ended up as a promise to spare the child of a white witch, an indiscretion Dati hopes Master never discovers.

But Master has devilish machinations of his own. He needs human-demon hybrids, the Daimonion, to raise the Dark Lord to the earthly realm. If Master succeeds, he will be immortal and far more powerful.

The child who was spared is now a man, and for the first time in three hundred years, Dati has a reason to escape Master's chains. To do that, Dati makes some unlikely alliances with an untrained soulless witch, a self-destructive shape shifter, and a deceitful clairvoyant. However, deals with demons rarely go as planned, and the cost is always higher than the original bargain.

You'll never escape what haunts you...not once they return. "A dark, mesmerizing delight."–Robert McCammon ★★★★★ "Couldn't put it down!" ★★★★★

Beneath the surface of a London top university, an ancient society known as The Seechers, operate. They protect the world's biggest secret. A hidden gateway to the subconscious world. Unlocked only by a mysterious liquid, found deep within the human brain.

Intense dreamer, Aris Fletcher, moves back home to look after his sick father. Transferring to the local university to continue to care for his father, Aris begins his second year in Philosophy, a month late into the term. Once there, he becomes captivated by fiery and intelligent Maya Green, who won’t give Aris the time of day unless he joins the PP Club. After Aris surprisingly solves the answer to the Professor’s long standing ‘impossible conundrum’, he’s given a place in the elite Research Associates Group, known as the PP Club. Maya finally lets her guard down with Aris and she recruits him to help her on her personal quest to uncover a mystery that’s baffled her for years. What’s a Seecher? Do Seechers exist?

Aris starts to scratch the surface of this mystery and after spying on Professor Maxwell, Aris discovers that the Professor disappeared into a Mirrored Room. As Aris and Maya get closer to unravelling what Seechers are, shadowy abductions begin to occur on campus. After some shocking home truths hit Maya and an attack nearly kills Aris, the pair are put on very separate paths until Maya finds out who has abducted her father.

The origin of modern day clowns can actually be traced to the Dark Ages and an ancient tribe of nomadic entertainers known collectively as "The Klaun." They had an exceptionally kindhearted and colorful culture, and one of their customs was to dab their noses with a spot of red. Today, this dab of red and many other clowning traditions (some innocent, some nefarious) are derived from ancient Klaun customs. This book contains an interview with Jesper the Klaun, during which Jesper reveals his people's secret origin story as he explains how two factions of Klaun/clowns have secretly been at war with one another for centuries. This clandestine clown war has recently gotten so out of control that Jesper feels compelled to alert society and reveal the existence of the Klaun.

And an afterword by the author, where he shares some of the inspiration, background, and thoughts behind each story.

From Bram Stoker Award nominee Ronald Malfi comes a chilling novel of childhood revisited, memories resurrected, and fears reborn . . .

After years away, Laurie returns to the home where she was raised by a cold, distant father who recently exorcised his demons. But no amount of cleaning can wipe away the troubled past. She feels it lurking in the broken moldings, sees it staring from an empty picture frame, hears it laughing in the moldy greenhouse deep in the woods . . .

At first, Laurie thinks she's imagining things. But when she meets her daughter's new playmate, she notices her uncanny resemblance to another little girl who used to live next door. Who died next door. With each passing day, Laurie's uneasiness grows stronger, her thoughts more disturbing. Like her father, is she slowly losing her mind? Or is something truly unspeakable happening?

The Woman Under The White Tree

Frank Morris, a young man looking to enter into the Catholic priesthood, is offered the chance to accompany Father Michael Agnew on what he thinks will be a routine task. You know the sort of task priest's do, such as having tea and buns with old ladies too afraid to leave the house.

Frank quickly discovers he is wrong.

Father Agnew isn't like a typical member of the Church. Nor is the nature of his job.

In the rolling hills of the Northern Irish countryside, the Ballygore Road has the highest fatality rate in all of the United Kingdom. It's history and that of the land around it is long and bloody, stretching back to famine times. Having listened to those fortunate enough to survive; Father Agnew suspects that there is more to the accidental deaths that occur on the road than bad driving.

He believes it's haunted.

Frank Morris thinks the Father is joking. He thinks he's being pranked. Surely, there's no such thing as ghosts. Is there?

The Woman Under The White Tree is perfect for horror fans especially those that enjoy stories that feature two members of the Catholic priesthood, Ford Cortina's, exorcism, time travel and everything else but the kitchen sink. It is also the first story in the Father Michael Agnew series.

A small-town baker uses her magic to confront a post–vampire apocalypse world in this award-winning fantasy Neil Gaiman called "pretty much perfect."

Although it had been mostly deserted since the Voodoo Wars, there hadn't been any trouble out at the lake for years. Rae Seddon, nicknamed Sunshine, head baker at her family's busy and popular café in downtown New Arcadia, needed a place to get away from all the noise and confusion--of the clientele and her family. Just for a few hours. Just to be able to hear herself think.

She knew about the Others, of course. Everyone did. And several of her family's best regular customers were from SOF--Special Other Forces--which had been created to deal with the threat and the danger of the Others.

She drove out to her family's old lakeside cabin and sat on the porch, swinging her feet and enjoying the silence and the silver moonlight on the water.

She never heard them coming. Of course, you don't when they're vampires.

Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Sookie Stackhouse will cheer for this tough and quirky heroine. In Sunshine, which won the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature, McKinley has a vampire novel that is "a smart, funny tale of suspense and romance" (San Francisco Chronicle).

Something evil lurks in the woods, on the outskirts of town. It lives in the shadows and strikes without warning, always with the same objective: to mutilate, kill and devour its victim.

It's a monster with a cannibalistic craving for human flesh, and a sexual appetite which seemingly cannot be satiated. No victim is left alive, and the scattered remains divulge very little to the police pathologist.

As the body count rises, the superintendent in charge of the investigation resorts to desperate measures. But soon, it becomes obvious that the police have woefully underestimated their suspect. A mistake which will cost them dearly.

"A crack in time saves 99"

But what do those ominous words mean?
Ray is about to find out, whether he's ready or not. His ‘deceased' twin sister, Ravynn, is warning him of impending disaster, but Ray can't seem to convince himself, or his wife, that he's not crazy.
But Ray isn't the only one communicating with his sister. Ravynn's surviving daughter, Amelia, seems to know things that defy reason, in a time when reason is slowly slipping away.
When Ray's brother-in-law offers evidence of something terrible coming in the form of prophetic journals Ravynn wrote before her death, Ray can't doubt the truth any longer. The world is falling down.
The family struggles to hold themselves together as the world they once knew and understood begins to collapse all around them, leading up to a cataclysmic end.
Can Ray save his family in time?
