About the book
Recently widowed and rendered penniless by her Ponzi-scheming husband, Julia Bishop is eager to start anew. So when a stranger appears on her doorstep with a job offer, she finds herself accepting the mysterious yet unique position: caretaker to his mother, Amaris Sinclair, the famous and rather eccentric horror novelist whom Julia has always admired . . . and who the world believes is dead.
When she arrives at the Sinclairs' enormous estate on Lake Superior, Julia begins to suspect that there may be sinister undercurrents to her "too-good-to-be-true" position. As Julia delves into the reasons of why Amaris chose to abandon her successful writing career and withdraw from the public eye, her search leads to unsettling connections to her own family tree, making her wonder why she really was invited to Havenwood in the first place, and what monstrous secrets are still held prisoner within its walls.

Grandma was a hoarder. The rooms are packed to bursting. But buried in the mess is her step-grandfather’s journal—pages of strange rants about bizarre creatures in the woods.
At first, Mouse thinks it’s nonsense. Then she sees them for herself.
Now, alone with only her dog for company, she’s trapped in a nightmare where the impossible walks the forest and the dark watches back. If she doesn’t confront the horrors head-on, she won’t make it out alive.
And these things? They aren’t just in her head. They’re hunting.

About the book
A scuba diver unearths a sunken U-boat that holds a terrible secret
Robert Moore had a cushy life in Baltimore. The son of a bank president, he could have had the old man's job if he'd just waited in line. But Moore isn't the patient type, and rather than spend his life trapped behind a desk, he decamped for the Caribbean, to pass his days diving beneath the perfect blue sea. One day, diving deeper than usual, he spies a sunken ship. His investigations disrupt an unexploded depth charge, which hurls Robert to the surface with the sunken ship not far behind.
The U-boat, still seaworthy after all these decades, drifts towards the island and gets caught on the reef. A strange knocking echoes from inside the hull, as though something within is still alive. When Robert opens the long-closed hatch, he'll learn that some sunken treasure is better left undisturbed.

About the book
'Terrifying and terrifyingly real, a must-read for fans of Stephen King and John Ajvide Lindqvist' - Elizabeth Hand, author of Hard Light
Welcome aboard the Baltic Charisma.
Tonight, twelve hundred expectant passengers have joined the booze-cruise between Sweden and Finland. The creaking old ship travels this same route, back and forth, every day of the year.
But this trip is going to be different.
In the middle of the night the ferry is cut off from the outside world. There is nowhere to escape. There is no way to contact the mainland. And no one knows who to trust . . .
On the Baltic Sea, no one can hear you scream.

Our take
A buried artifact turns memory into a weapon. When an antique picture frame reveals its deadly power, author Blake Price believes he can control it until his own family is marked for death.

About the book
Somethings should stay buried.
When celebrated author Blake Price takes his young son metal-detecting in the English countryside, he expects to find nothing more than rusted nails and broken coins. What they uncover instead is an ornate antique picture frame buried deep beneath the soil—beautiful, mysterious, and... somehow sinister.
It doesn’t take long for Blake to realise the truth about the picture frame.
Any photograph placed inside becomes a death sentence.
At first, the power is distant. Abstract. A terrible curiosity he believes he can control. But when a single mistake places a family photograph inside the frame, the curse turns inward. Now the people Blake loves most are marked for death—one by one.
As unseen forces close in and the body count rises, Blake must confront the frame’s ancient origins, its hunger for memory and blood, and the dark secrets buried in his own past. Because destroying the frame may not be enough.
And some memories refuse to stay buried.
A chilling supernatural horror about guilt, fate, and the terrifying cost of loving too deeply, The Picture Frame proves that the most dangerous curses are the ones we bring home.

After twenty years in British Special Forces, Lorne Turner thought he had seen the worst of humanity. He was wrong.

The police look the other way. The bodies keep piling up. And something is stirring beneath the surface of reality.

Counting Crows is a gripping occult thriller where survival means confronting the supernatural—and your own demons.

About the book
Private investigator Harry Angel wakes up handcuffed to a corpse and accused of murder. The real problem? He doesn't even know who he is.
Framed for a string of brutal killings, Harry must escape custody and piece together a shattered identity that leads from the smoky streets of 1950s New York to the hidden catacombs of the Vatican. His target is a slippery stage magician. His path spirals into the occult. And his endgame is vengeance on the devil himself.
As memory returns, so does horror. What Harry uncovers is far more terrifying than murder. It is metaphysical, mythic, and personal.
Angel's Inferno is a surreal blend of noir mystery and supernatural thriller. The past is a puzzle, and every answer drags him closer to hell.

Haunting Charlie
Horror · Mystery · Occult Horror
Our take
Charlie Payne can see the dead, but some spirits are too dangerous to ignore. When she’s called to help a woman haunted by her family’s ghosts, she uncovers a deadly secret that won’t rest. Wendy Wang’s Haunting Charlie is a gripping supernatural mystery of witches, restless souls, and the courage to face the darkness.

About the book
Ignoring the dead can get you killed.
Charlie Payne wants nothing more than to live a normal life and raise her daughter in peace. But normal is impossible when you come from a long line of witches and can see the dead. Ghosts don’t respect privacy, and some refuse to stay quiet—especially when they’re angry.
When Charlie meets Susan Tate, a woman haunted by the restless spirits in her crumbling southern mansion, she’s drawn into a mystery that could turn deadly. Helping the dead find peace may be Charlie’s gift, but this haunting wants more than salvation.
Wendy Wang’s Haunting Charlie is a chilling supernatural mystery filled with ghosts, secrets, and the power of facing what refuses to stay buried.
