About the book
Deep in the forest stands a cottage. A witch once lived there, or so they say.
Hazel and her daughter Lily move to Blackmoss Cottage to escape a recent tragedy. At first the house feels like the perfect place to rebuild their lives. But appearances can be deceptive. In the surrounding villages, old superstitions still thrive. People whisper of covens gathering beneath the moonlit trees, and hang sprigs of rowan in their windows to ward off the Witch of Blackmoss Cottage.
Hazel and Lily carry secrets of their own, shadows from the past that refuse to stay buried. And on the hill above the cottage rises the Crow Tree, where a witch was once burned alive.
Lily doesn’t believe in magic, yet like the crows that circle its twisted branches, she is drawn to the tree. Locals say something lives inside its hollow trunk. What if the tales are true? What if the tree holds the key to her family’s darkest secret?
The Crow Tree is a standalone supernatural thriller in The Devil’s Ledger series, perfect for fans of witchcraft legends, folklore horror, cursed families, and gothic suspense.

She lived the life they gave her. Then she found the one they took.
A hidden room. A ghost in the mirror. A girl unraveling everything she was raised to forget.
Emily was raised to obey.
To pray.
To forget.
For as long as she can remember, her family has been her whole world. Her safe place. Her calling.

About the book
Don’t go near the attic door.
Don’t go outside after midnight.
Don’t ever listen to them.
Ghostwriter Callie Rowe has landed on what seems like a dream job: penning the memoir of her 90s rockstar crush, Riff Fall. But as she sets foot on remote Invisible Island, where Riff resides in his enigmatic beachfront mansion, she quickly realizes that beneath the allure of fame lies something more sinister.
Rumors swirl around Riff and his secluded existence, particularly concerning the inexplicable disappearance of his wife years ago. And entering Riff's world comes with a set of rules: never venture outside after midnight and steer clear of the blue door upstairs.
Despite her best intentions to keep personal and professional boundaries intact, Callie is drawn to Riff, whose troubled past intertwines with his present reality. Bound by a contract from decades ago, Riff is haunted not only by his lost reputation but also by something lurking just beyond the edges of his property.
But as Callie becomes entangled in Riff's self-imprisonment, she realizes that she, too, is being hunted by something malevolent. Forced to confront the darkness of her past and the terrifying truth about the price of fame, Callie wonders if she will discover Riff’s secrets or become the next victim of the night singers’ deadly symphony.
A music-laden tale of terror, The Night Singers explores the echoes of the past and the demented and dangerous journey that can lead to success or ruin.

About the book
A series of grave robberies in the 1920’s go unsolved until reporter Michael Jacobs follows a new thread.
His investigation leads him to a small town in the suburbs of Chicago named Elk Hills. While there, he finds out more haunting information than the police ever discovered.
But with each interview bringing him closer to the truth, he finds himself becoming a part of the story he was looking to write.
At the same time, wealthy businessman Edmund Creighton organizes a group of equally wealthy families and individuals in the Chicago area to finance illegal experiments in the basement of his mansion.
These experiments require the presence of recently dead bodies which the members of the secret society are more than happy to acquire.
By the time these dark secrets are uncovered, it may be too late for Michael, or the truth, to make any difference.

From Cassandra Khaw, USA Today bestselling author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth, comes The Salt Grows Heavy, a razor-sharp and bewitching fairy tale of discovering the darkness in the world, and the darkness within oneself.
A Best Horror Book of 2023 (The New York Times, Library Journal) • A Best Book of 2023 (NPR) • A Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson Award Finalist! • An Indie Next Pick

On the run, the mermaid is joined by a mysterious plague doctor with a darkness of their own. Deep in the eerie, snow-crusted forest, the pair stumble upon a village of ageless children who thirst for blood, and the three “saints” who control them.
The mermaid and her doctor must embrace the cruelest parts of their true nature if they hope to survive.

About the book
"A delicious, dark, adrenaline rush of a book. I'm already dying to see Charlie Hall's next con." - New York Times bestselling author, Alix E. Harrow
#1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black makes her stunning adult debut with Book of Night, a modern dark fantasy of betrayals, secret societies, and a dissolute thief of shadows, in the vein of Naomi Novik and Erin Morgenstern.
Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldn’t pick, a book she couldn’t steal, or a bad decision she wouldn’t make.
She's spent half her life working for gloamists, magicians who manipulate shadows to peer into locked rooms, strangle people in their beds, or worse. Gloamists guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground economy of grimoires. And to rob their fellow magicians, they need Charlie Hall.
Now, she’s trying to distance herself from past mistakes, but getting out isn’t easy. Bartending at a dive, she’s still entirely too close to the corrupt underbelly of the Berkshires. Not to mention that her sister Posey is desperate for magic, and that Charlie's shadowless, and possibly soulless, boyfriend has been hiding things from her. When a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie descends into a maelstrom of murder and lies.
Determined to survive, she’s up against a cast of doppelgangers, mercurial billionaires, gloamists, and the people she loves best in the world—all trying to steal a secret that will give them vast and terrible power.
