Available for JUST 99 CENTS is Midnight Guests and Other Weird Stories  by Amy Michelle Mosier (Click here for UK purchase).  Why not download this  before it goes back to full price?






BOOK DESCRIPTION
This collection of 13 short horror stories seeks to explore the eerie stuff, the subtle feelings we feel when something is not right; there are no vampires, witches or werewolves, neither is there much gore. Its stories are more Twilight Zone-ish. Otherwise, they are completely original and unpredictable. All of them take place in Arizona and frequently draw upon the local lore.

Just a tid bit about the first 5 stories:

Salazar's Flamenco Dancer - An art history major does research on a local artist and learns about a disturbing pattern of death.

Hidden Canyon - An Apache boy, Para-ah-dee-ah-tran, comes face-to-face with a terror his elders didn't tell him about.

Chimera - A Phoenix woman is tormented by sleep paralysis.

Old Billy - Peter recounts his youth growing up near a cemetery.

The Wind in the Hollow - Something is amiss on the Gottlieb farm and Jakob must contend with spiritual things he doesn't yet understand.

The remaining stories contain a mix of ghosts and monsters. Two are urban legends of my own creation. Maybe you will retell them. My question to you: Will you be one of my midnight guests?

*PG-13. A couple of f-bombs and one rape scene. Typo-free. Active Table of Contents. Zero advertisements. DRM-free so you can enjoy it on other devices.

BOOK DESCRIPTION


I always thought my demons came out in the day, rather than at night. I’ve never been scared of the dark. I’ve only ever been scared of real things: getting ill, having injections, physical pain… death. Those are my monsters, not ghosts or vampires or whatever else can hide under your bed at night.

I was wrong.

The dark makes everything worse.

When Mary’s psychiatrist advises a short stay at a psychiatric unit, her worst nightmares are confirmed. How can she get better in a place that fills her with dread? When she meets the other patients, she begins to gather some hope, until she realises that the death toll in the hospital is rising without explanation. Something sinister stalks the corridors and maybe she is the only  one who can stop it…

Mary has to confront the Things that she sees if they are to stand a chance. But will she survive a confrontation with death itself?

BOOK DESCRIPTION
James Fitzgerald is looking forward to a weekend getaway with friends at the country house that once belonged to his parents. Instead he walks in on a bloodbath. And a cryptic message on a shower curtain points to him as the killer.

The small town sheriff is smarter than he looks. He knows he doesn’t have enough evidence to make an arrest... yet.

Virtually under house arrest, James tries to distract himself from his grief and worry by investigating his parents’ backgrounds. Maybe he can find an explanation for the strange fainting spells he’s been having. He finds out more than he bargained for, however, and starts to wonder if sometimes it’s better to let sleeping ghosts lie.

(This story is novelette length.)

BOOK DESCRIPTION
This is a remarkable true story. In the 1970s, Mike Feistel took to the rails and traveled across America. During his travels, he crossed paths with a fifteen year old homeless boy, Curtis, who had been thrown out of his mother's home by her abusive, alcoholic boyfriend. When Mike and Curtis cross paths at the rescue mission in Yakima, Washington, Curtis pleads with Mike to help him get back to his father's house in Dallas, Texas.

But Mike didn't want to take on the responsibility of traveling across the nation by freight train with a fifteen year old kid. He had his own life to live, and his own plans. However, after hearing a convicting sermon delivered by the 'preacher man' at the mandatory church service that evening, Mike had a change of heart - and decided to take the kid under his wing. The next morning they departed from the Yakima switchyard on a freight train, headed across America toward Dallas, Texas.

Thus began Curtis's amazing homeward journey, under the guidance and care of Mike. It would be a journey neither of them would ever forget.

Will showing up for work on the day that her employer revives frozen "clients" be a mistake that Pam Stone will not even live to regret? Before Zed-Day 1, Pam was a bright and motivated pathology graduate student who still retained her farm girl's work ethic and plain values. She reluctantly accepted an internship at Future Faith Cryonics because it paid well and promised a sterling reference for future employment. 

Pam only wants to help the living, but she truly believes that the frozen bodies at Future Faith Cryonics are dead! She begins to believe that the company exists as a scam, dislikes merely babysitting the frozen bodies, and learns to detest her creepy and arrogant boss, Dr. Ada Klein. She is also shocked to find out that the handsome engineer, Enrico, flirted with her while secretly having a relationship with their much older employer.

It falls into the genres of horror, science fiction, and urban fantasy.

Welcome to harmless Belcorte, nestled in these Pocono Mountains. Here, nothing is as it seems.

After her mother dies, young journalist Jill Duport inherits her grandparents’ infamous house. A teenage girl had been murdered in this house by her grandfather—college professor, madman, victim of suicide. His apparition still haunts these halls and empty rooms.

And yet, since his death, a series of grisly killings, all bearing his mark, have gripped Belcorte for decades. Is Grandfather able to commit murder, even after his death, or did he share an enigmatic connection with the unidentified madman known as The Indianhead Reservoir Killer?

Retired police chief Reed Hobson has looked into the killer’s eyes. Reed even remembers shooting the killer, and yet, these events never took place. So he’s  told.

A madman waits in a place hidden from the sun, forgotten by time, grooming his spawn of feral children. For his childhood torture, for his suffering, he will make Belcorte pay for its collective sins

BOOK OF THE DAY: Born of the Grave by Danny Cantrell

by Danny Cantrell




BOOK DESCRIPTION
Nobody's Happy When The Dead Come Home!

It begins with a meteorite crashing into a rural trout stream, releasing thousands of tiny eggs. The fish consume the eggs, humans consume the fish, and the eggs harmlessly embed themselves in stomach linings, where they lie dormant until the death, by natural or accidental causes, of the consumers.

One year after burial, the dead in a rural Appalachian town are burrowing out of their graves and returning to their earthly homes--with deadly consequence for their loved ones.

As the terror spreads, a claustrophobic mining engineer, a female entomologist, and their team must enter the dank confines of a long- abandoned coal mine to attempt to destroy a hybrid alien life form that threatens to transform life on earth.

The author, a former coal mining engineer, draws upon his never-forgotten childhood dreams and nightmares and a life-long fascination with insects to create a uniquely Appalachian science fiction/horror story of first contact with an alien life form.


AUTHOR BIO



Danny Cantrell is a life-long resident of the Appalachian region. He has worked in both the coal mining industry and in higher education. He holds an associate degree in mining engineering technology, the bachelors and masters' degrees in English, and the Ed.D. in leadership studies in higher education administration. His hobbies include travel, reading, watching TV dramas, listening to a wide variety of music, and photography. He and his wife, Connie, reside in Cabell County, West Virginia with a Peter Pan dog, four loving cats, and more books and magazines than 10 normal households should contain

The immaculate creature known as Florian Ribeni prized being a Vampire for he was vain enough to choose beauty and youth over wisdom and wise enough to appreciate a life without the boundaries of death, illness, or poverty. Not quite tied to gender preference Florian spent his nights lusting after the unattainable or engaging in sexual misadventures while shirking anything resembling responsibility. The last to serve his community he preferred the lighter aspects of life, fashion, gossip, good wine laced with sanctioned blood and seduction. 

Florian loved seduction above all things and if not for a troublesome Elf, a demon bandit, his personal anger at witnessing the demise of Vampires, he would be leading the aimless, artless, and trite life that he adored. Then there was the Pixie, an inebriated sot with sudden affections and even more sudden dislikes. Beb decided Florian was his new best friend and offered his much unwanted and erratic help to the newly conscripted Runner. Chasing after a deviant Vampire and running from a cannibal cult the pair was determined to save the world—if only an annoying Mage and some arrogant demons would keep out of the way.

Available for JUST 99 CENTS TODAY is A Tale of 3 Witches  by Christiana Miller and Barbra Annino (Click here for UK download)  Why not download it before it goes back to full price?





BOOK DESCRIPTION
When a mysterious stranger invades Amethyst, IL, stealing souls to feed a demon and generally ruining Halloween for the local kids, three witches join forces to take him on. 

This short story reunites Mara, Gus, Aunt Tillie and Grundleshanks the Toad (from the Toadwitch paranormal series) with Stacy Justice, the Geraghty Girls and Thor, the Great Dane, (from the Stacy Justice paranormal mystery series). 

As Gus, Mara and Stacy band together, they're bossed around by the cantankerous ghost of Mara's Aunt Tillie, tripped up by the spirit of Lord Grundleshanks the Poisonous Toad, backed up by Stacy's grandmother's coven, and given assistance by a local hoodoo master -- in-between episodes of Antiques Road Show, that is -- but they're still in for the Samhain of their lives. 

If they don't stop the stranger's nefarious plan, the only thing they can count on is that all three of their souls will be at risk!

This short story is a quirky, paranormal adventure that combines thrills and chills with all-out spooky fun. It's a fun, fast-paced read, meant to tide readers over until Miller's and Annino's next full-length novels are released. However, it also works as a stand-alone to introduce new readers to the quirky paranormal world of the main characters. 

It includes short excerpts from the paranormal novels "Somebody Tell Aunt Tillie She's Dead" and "Opal Fire." 

Please Note: This is not a full-length novel. This is a long short story. Not including the excerpts at the end, this story is 64 pages long.
