The Baby-Eater by Chad Robert Morgan

The Baby-Eater by Chad Robert Morgan

To Alexander, his family on his mother’s side were strangers, the country they lived in just a spot on the map, and their beliefs nothing more than superstitions and folklore.

While accompanying his mother on her trip home after the death of his chronically ill father, however, Alexander is shown a world larger than he could have ever guessed, one both as enriching as it could be deadly.

To keep his family safe, Alexander must risk his life to fight off an undead infant, make alliances with witches, and battle with the most dangerous creature of all – the Baby-Eater.

Hail of Brimstone by J.R. White

Hail of Brimstone by J.R. White

“Forget your prize! Forget your friend! He is a husk, bled dry on the sands. He has been torn by what lingers, torn like they tear all who seek their secrets! Torn like they tore me!”
In the wilderness of the newborn nation of Mexico, a demonic gunman attacks a wedding, turning a day of joy into a massacre and wiping the mission of Nuestra Señora de la Sangre from the map.
A half-century later, vagabond gunfighter Kit Barker finds himself on the trail of a lost friend and a sinister relic that will bring him face to face with an evil that threatens to rend the very bonds of his sanity.
Following a blood-stained trail from the streets of old New York, across the great plains, and all the way to the jagged coasts of Baja, Barker and his friends must fight for survival against both man and beast as they stalk a doomed path to its inevitable and explosive end… if necessary, to the very fires of hell.
Can Barker defend his soul against the devils and demons of his own mind? Can mere men resist the thing that hunts them from beyond the Hail of Brimstone?
From the author of SHADOW OF WOLVES, a new action-packed tale of horror in the Wild West!

The Man Who Killed Edgar Allan Poe by J. R. Rada

The Man Who Killed Edgar Allan Poe by J. R. Rada

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.

Drained by Monique Singleton

Drained by Monique Singleton

Detective Liam Grady was stumped.
Never in his long years as a New Orleans Homicide Detective had he encountered a serial killer who literally drained his victims.
The mummified shell of a once beautiful student was the first sign this case was extraordinary. Within days she was joined by a high-class call-girl and a frumpy housewife. All died in the same sadistic manner.
What did they have in common, besides their strange demise?

Things are not as they seem. The victims have dark secrets, and tales of Haitian malignant spirits offer a slim lead. But it mean Liam has to ditch everything he believes in and open his mind to a conjecture that defied logic.

As he struggles with his own demons, Liam joins forces with a pretty student and a Mysterious Vodou witch doctor to stop whatever it is that holds New Orleans in its bloody grasp.

Time is of the essence.
The bodies are piling up.
And now the monster has Liam in its sights.
