About the book
Weyland-Yutani doesn’t give up easily. After losing their prized Xenomorph specimens at Hadley’s Hope, the Company is determined to bounce back with a new project: the Cold Forge. Aboard remote station RB-232, scientists push the limits of biology in pursuit of the ultimate weapon.
Enter Dorian Sudler, a ruthless corporate auditor whose job is to sniff out weakness and betrayal. But when whispers of a spy surface, Sudler’s mission twists into a deadly game of paranoia. Someone aboard isn’t loyal to the Company—and that’s a capital offense.
Meanwhile, the Xenomorphs themselves are multiplying, their hunger uncontained. If the saboteur strikes, the entire station could go up in flames… or worse, be overrun.
Who will survive when corporate greed collides with perfect predators?

In the House in the Dark of the Woods
Horror · Historical Literary Fiction
Our take
A woman vanishes into the colonial woods and the line between escape and enchantment begins to blur. In In the House in the Dark of the Woods, a Puritan wife wanders deeper into a forest filled with strange encounters and unsettling transformations. As memory, guilt, and folklore intertwine, this lyrical psychological horror traces a haunting journey through witchcraft, identity, and the darker impulses hiding beneath faith and obedience.

About the book
The eerie, disturbing story of one of our perennial fascinations -- witchcraft in colonial America -- wrapped up in a lyrical novel of psychological suspense.
"Once upon a time there was and there wasn't a woman who went to the woods." In this horror story set in colonial New England, a law-abiding Puritan woman goes missing. Or perhaps she has fled or abandoned her family. Or perhaps she's been kidnapped, and set loose to wander in the dense woods of the north. Alone and possibly lost, she meets another woman in the forest. Then everything changes.
On a journey that will take her through dark woods full of almost-human wolves, through a deep well wet with the screams of men, and on a living ship made of human bones, our heroine may find that the evil she flees has been inside her all along.
In the House in the Dark of the Woods is a novel of psychological horror and suspense told in Laird Hunt's characteristically lyrical prose style. It is the story of a bewitching, a betrayal, a master huntress and her quarry. It is a story of anger, of evil, of hatred and of redemption. It is the story of a haunting, a story that makes up the bedrock of American mythology, told in a vivid way you will never forget.

About the book
In 1977 New York, punk rocker Carey has no patience for angels, especially the kind that simplify lives by “removing redundancies,” which is a nice way of saying they erase people. Strange kids with blank faces are abducting his friends, tar-monsters prowl the sewers, and psychopaths stalk the punk scene. Carey is ready to fight back, even if it kills him.
In 2013 Hollywood, stuntwoman hopeful Kaitlyn has bigger problems than a stalled career. Her best friend is missing, a washed-up actor tried to eat her, and an angel is waiting outside her apartment.
When Carey’s and Kaitlyn’s worlds collide, they uncover the truth: angels and demons are one and the same, and they are out to end humanity.
We are all well and truly screwed.

Recently widowed and rendered penniless by her Ponzi-scheming husband, Julia Bishop is eager to start anew.

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.

From Hugo Award–winner T. Kingfisher comes The Twisted Ones, a RUSA Award–winning horror novel with 4.1 out of 5 stars on Amazon. When Mouse discovers her step-grandfather’s disturbing journal, the eerie creatures he described start appearing in the woods.

About the book
When Mouse agrees to clean out her late grandmother’s house in rural North Carolina, she’s expecting dust, clutter, and maybe a few awkward memories. What she finds is far worse.
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
Richmond, Virginia is haunted by more than its Civil War history. A mutilation killer stalks the city, slipping into locked rooms, butchering his victims, and vanishing without a trace.
Detective Martin Decker, still reeling from personal tragedy, is assigned to the case. The only witness is a young woman with Down syndrome who swears she saw the murderer. A man who should not exist.
As the body count rises, Decker’s investigation leads him deep into the lingering wounds of the South and toward something far older and darker than human evil.
The killer cannot be stopped by locks or walls. He cannot be reasoned with. And when Decker discovers the truth, he may realize too late that this is not a hunt. It is a reckoning.
