The Failure Murders by Dalton Lewis
Kara Grey, alcoholic teenager, spent her mornings, evenings, and weekends writing a novella…and everyone hated it. She crashes and blacks out. Later she wakes up in a strange cabin with her friends watching the Super Bowl, but Nicole Jax, the lead character from her novella, shows up to attack her and her friends for failing to perfect her story.

In A Season Of Dead Weather by Mark Fuller Dillon
In a season of dead weather, the mind clutches at reality; but what does it find instead? Madness, or monsters? Ghosts, or things more terrible than ghosts? Illusions, or invasions? Dreams, or the darkness at the end of all nightmares? One thing is clear: these are tales that echoes tell, in a season of dead weather.
The weird, the uncanny, the strange: these are the local conditions of dead weather.
And these are stories based on dreams and nightmares, on things barely glimpsed in the moonrise, on places perfectly normal by day but haunted by the light of winter stars.
Along with stories that appeared in “All Hallows” (edited by Barbara and Christopher Roden) and in the ROC anthology, “Alone on the Darkside” (edited by John Pelan) are tales that have never seen the light — but now, as daylight fades, the stories can be told.
(May be too intense for younger readers.)
“Mark Fuller Dillon is an original talent, whose precise use of language, obliquely disturbing imagery and meticulous world building single him out as a writer to watch.”
[Peter Tennant, BLACK STATIC #35.]
“There are themes of love and loss, misunderstanding, and a diminishing sense of identity throughout this collection which link the stories strongly. The bleak landscape clearly inspires the author, and his descriptive prose of rural communities in the grip of a Canadian winter will have you shivering; yet despite this there is a warmth of experience here which brings the characters to life, proving the author not only writes beautifully, but also has a lot to say. I was entranced by this book, and I read it in one sitting. These are powerful yet subtle three-dimensional tales from an original mind, and Mark Fuller Dillon deserves a greater readership.”
[Martin Cosby, author of DYING EMBERS]
“I enjoyed this collection, not least because I felt I was sharing the imaginative world of someone who doesn’t seek easy answers or rely on obvious gimmicks.”
[David Longhorn, editor of SUPERNATURAL TALES]

Unnatural Selection by Simon Whitmore
When an ancient feud between the Mitclani and the Urbat—ancient vampires and age-old werewolves—finally spills out onto the streets of the world, many are caught in the crossfire; the victims either turned, brutally murdered or taken as food. Those left find themselves scavenging by day and fighting off Mitclani raiders at night. Alone and desperate, five occupants barricade themselves in a house in one of London’s elite neighbourhoods. They all have separate agendas but one common goal. Staying alive during the day is relatively easy, if you’ve got the right weapons, but keeping death from the door at night is another thing altogether. And, as if keeping blood-hungry vampires out wasn’t enough, to top it off the full moon is only days away, meaning the square could soon be rife with menacing wolves. It is survival of the fittest, where any moment an attack from otherworldly beings with large teeth and sharp claws is a possibility.

Fabien Levesque has endured intense suffering since his creator and ex-lover, Stefan, turned him into a reluctant vampire. Stefan forces Fabien to use humans as a never-ending blood supply, almost driving Fabien to insanity. After pleading for release, Stefan finally agrees but prohibits Fabien from creating another vampire. Despite this, Fabien disobeys and falls in love with Laurent Richelieu, who Fabien turns into his vampire companion. Stefan returns, intending to destroy the newly created vampire, but accidentally destroys Fabien instead. After escaping Paris to avoid Stefan’s anger, Laurent finds a new home in New Orleans. There, he encounters Fabien’s spirit, and together, they devise a plan to inhabit the body of Jack Devereaux, a man who looks identical to Fabien and is currently in a relationship with Laurent. Jack is also a good friend of Raphaella. They hypnotize Raphaella and summon the spirits of Stefan’s victims to help destroy him and send him to the fiery pits of hell. Although they succeed, Raphaella discovers that Fabien has overtaken Jack’s body and summons Stefan’s spirit back. The nightmare continues as the vengeful voodoo priestess Raphaella seeks retribution.
Together, their formidable evil allows Stefan to possess the body of Fabien’s lover, Laurent Richelieu. Forced to flee the city and the man he loves, Fabien leaves New Orleans and finds refuge in San Francisco, where he crosses paths with the enigmatic vampire royalty, whose motives are as mysterious as their power, and a renowned deadly vampire hunter, whose skills are as lethal as his reputation.
The path to united vengeance becomes clear as Fabien discovers his powerful allies share his desire to defeat Stefan. Yet, the challenge remains: persuading Raphaella to use her voodoo magic to free Stefan’s spirit from Laurent’s body.
If he fails, mortals everywhere will become innocent victims of Stefan’s unrelenting blood lust, his insatiable hunger for human life leading to a massacre of unimaginable proportions. Soon, his army of vampires, a relentless force of darkness and death, will destroy all of humanity, plunging the world into eternal night.

Kachina by J. R. Rada
Remembering 5 missing weeks can save one world and doom another.
The Dark Gods have arisen, and the man who knows how to stop them can’t remember how.
David Purcell was on his way to meet his girlfriend when he fell into a cave. He awakens in a hospital where he learns that he’s been missing for five weeks. David has no memory of his time in the cave. He is also mysteriously free of any signs of starvation, injury or cave blindness.
Adam Maho is an elderly Hopi who has seen visions of Kuskurza, the Third World of Hopi creation stories. It is a world that is supposed to have been destroyed when the Hopi came to this world through a hole in the ground. Adam’s visions show him that those ancient evils that had been long-believed dead were imprisoned and not destroyed.
Their prison is weakening, though. When it fails, the dark kachinas will be free once again to bring death and devastation to the world. Adam’s visions also show the Hopi that David is somehow the key to keeping the dark kachinas imprisoned.
The dark kachinas realize this as well and have sent two of their servants, men of the Bow Clan, to the surface on a suicide mission to kill David Purcell.
David is unsure of what to believe. He has flashes of memory from his time in the caverns, but he can’t go so far as to believe what Adam tries to explain to him. That is until the Bow Clan attacks him and kills his girlfriend.
When David becomes a suspect in the murder, he flees to the Hopi settlement of Oraibi. The Bow Clan is not finished with David. They pursue him and capture Adam’s granddaughter, though David escapes them.
He turns the tables on the Bow Clan and decides to take the fight to them as he remembers more of his time in the caverns. He makes the journey to Kuskurza on a rescue mission and to try and find a way to stop the dark kachinas.

The Man Who Killed Edgar Allan Poe by J. R. Rada
If you’re a fan of Edgar Allan Poe, The Man Who Killed Edgar Allan Poe solves the mystery of his murder.
You might be thinking that Poe wasn’t murdered. He died in a hospital. You’re wrong.
While he did die at the Washington Medical Center, he was found delirious on the streets of
Baltimore wearing clothes that were not his own. He was admitted to the hospital where he died without explaining what had happened. The only clue is he shouted the name “Reynolds” before he died.
The hospital and its records were later destroyed in a fire, so we’re left with theory and conjecture about how the Master of the Macabre died. One person knows how the Father of the Modern Mystery met his end, and that person is… The Man Who Killed Edgar Allan Poe.
This is his story, although it reads like one of Poe’s horror tales.
Alexander Reynolds has been known by many names in his long life, the most famous of which is Lazarus, the man raised from the dead by Christ. Matthew Cromwell is another resurrected being living an extended life. Eternal life has its cost, though, whether or not Alexander and Matthew want to pay it.
Alexander has already seen Matthew kill Edgar’s mother, and he is determined to keep the same fate from befalling Edgar.
From the time of Christ to the modern days of the Poe Toaster, The Man Who Killed Edgar Allan Poe is a sweeping novel of love, terror, and mystery that could have come from the imagination of Edgar Allan Poe himself.
