A Distance from Avalon: when the dying and the dead reunite by Mike Messier

Joe Humble, a middle school history teacher and a father of three, is in the middle of a painful divorce. Joe’s Halloween night becomes an adventure when his co-worker Shadow, a newly hired music teacher, invites him out for a night on the town.

Shadow leads them to a Castle with the door opened by the alluring Heartbreak, who in turn takes us to the master of the house, the mysterious, charming, and gothic Jean La Croix Distance.

While the ladies seem to find a common ground, the two gentlemen can’t help but challenge each other’s wit, intelligence, and world knowledge. Eventually, wine and conversation cool their tempers.

After a marvelous meal, an indecent proposal of a “no guarantees, no strings attached” partner swap for the rest of the evening leads the two mix-matched couples to share feelings of profound empathy and, eventually, spoils of the flesh that are later revealed to be mere tools for manipulation and indoctrination.

Would it be too much to share that there is more to our hosts than what at first seems?

As Jean and Heartbreak’s motivations are revealed, Joe must choose whether to make this odd yet fascinating place his new home or to somehow find a Distance from Avalon.

Restoration by Sharon Mikeworth

Restoration by Sharon Mikeworth

Bronze Award winner for the 2021–2022 Reader Views Literary Awards in horror

Recipient of the Readers’ Favorite 5-Star seal for excellence

Cliff Phillips’ wife walks out on him for another man, leaving him devastated, and he retreats to a cabin deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The natural seclusion is exactly what he needs, and he settles in for a month-long stay, soothed by the unspoiled beauty of his surroundings.

But his peace is short lived. Out paddling the lake in the center of the historic park, he is nearly capsized by a mysterious disturbance. Soon after, a neighboring lodger flees following a terrifying night and another one vanishes without taking any of his belongings. When Cliff spots a strange light beneath the surface, he begins to think there might be more in the water than a few fish.

His worst fears are confirmed when he has his own frightening encounter. But how will he ever get anyone to believe what he now strongly suspects: that there is something hiding in the lake’s murky depths?

Sharon Mikeworth’s latest novel, Restoration, is a new addition to the great wilderness horror tradition of Jack Ketchum, Adam Nevill, Scott Smith, and Dan Simmons.

The Satanic Chapel by Bob Price

The Satanic Chapel by Bob Price

The Devil does not discriminate. Skin colour or religion. A soul is a soul and he wants them all.
Believing yourself to be in a position to control the Devil has been the ambition of many Satanists over the centuries. None has yet proven successful because the Devil has his own agenda and knows exactly what people are about. Yet even in the twenty first century they continue to try ignoring the failures of the past at their own peril.
Members of The Satanic Chapel had reached a point of self-confidence when they too felt ready to take the next step. An invitation to the Devil himself to visit and help them rule the world of humans. It was an ambitious plan that was years in the making and now it was finally ready and wheels within wheels were moving to make it a reality.
When odd things happen different police units are employed to investigate. After authority figures were reported missing a standard investigation unit became employed to find them. A less than standard unit called Irregular Missing Persons (IMP) also received instructions to investigate. Few outside IMP had even heard of them and so it was that the lead officer Superintendent Frank Marshal encountered Superintendent Betty Buick from IMP for the first time.
Buick’s instructions to take a purely advisory role during the investigation led by Marshal her counterpart was less than ideal, but with a new boss who appeared to detest the very thought of IMP:she was constrained to play tag, something she never did that well.
If, as Buick thought, that the supernatural was somehow involved she determined it wouldn’t be long before IMP was called upon to do more than simply advise. She wasn’t wrong.

When night falls in Giger, Texas, shadows gather as they always do in dim corners and other areas bereft of light. But this time they consolidate and attack any who tread too close.

Then the sun sets and the shadows again coalesce, growing more aggressive, the darkness eviscerating anyone it touches.

His only weapon light, Michael struggles to survive and searches frantically for his girlfriend, aiding friends along the way. When Hurricane Daniel roars ashore, wind gusts shred trees and tear down power lines, plunging all of Southeastern Texas into a blackness that only feeds and strengthens the encroaching darkness. Rising floodwater provides easy thoroughfares from which the darkness can strike as Michael and his friends contend with the elements, clash with criminals, and battle their way to his residence where they will stand against the darkness and fight to survive.

The Suicide Society by William Brennan Knight

The Suicide Society by William Brennan Knight

Do you sometimes feel like we’re all being led down a one-way path to self-destruction?
It’s like we’re living in a tinder box, and someone or something keeps nudging us a little further towards a totalitarian dystopian future…

Just one match can send everything up in flames… Who or what is behind this nebulous sickness and hatred that infects the very soul of humanity? Every day we’re exposed to reports of increasingly horrific brutality even as we try and cope with our own personal anguish.

How did it come to this?

After an unsuccessful suicide attempt, Zach Randall, a self-absorbed accountant, experiences disturbing visions of tortured souls preparing to die by their own hand. Initially dismissing the dreams as mere hallucinations, Randall begins to suspect there is deeper meaning hidden within each vision. Could these people be real? And who is the dark, mysterious entity who competes for the loyalties of the despondent and tormented before they breathe their last breath?

The Suicide Society is a supernatural thriller that evolves as a story of evil and a carefully devised plan to infiltrate every aspect of society for the purpose of promoting hate, chaos and ultimate destruction. As the clocks continues to wind down, Randall races to uncover the apocalyptic plot and expose the gifted leader of a massive covert network that relentlessly drives the world closer to a global catastrophe.

If you like books by DJ Molles, Stephen King, Dean R. Koonce, Joe Hill, Robert Masello, Clifford D Simak, and Eloise J Knapp, you better clear some time in your calendar for The Suicide Society Series because you’ll want to read all the books from cover to cover.
