There's something rotten under Nottingham. Something demonic. The Vatican sends two of its best demon hunters, Father Jasper and Sister Veronica. They investigate the strange disappearances taking place that all seem to lead to the labyrinthine network of man-made sandstone caves under the city. They soon realise they're not facing just any demon. Their nemesis is Legion, the infamous prince of Hell first mentioned in the Bible. To have any chance of defeating him and restoring the kidnapped victims to life, they must descend into Hell itself. They find a terrifying vision of the underworld, where the most horrifying demons they have to face are the ones inside their own heads.

After consulting the grimoire of her 17th century Scottish ancestor, Izzy starts down a dark path to resurrect the man she loves and accidentally killed. Love candle in hand, she visualises Enzo, walking toward her, his body strong and lithe, rather than broken and bloody as she'd last seen him. Having already asked forgiveness for what she'd done, the imagined look on his face was one of love and acceptance. Harnessing that love, she wrapped both hands around the candle and placed it into a lovely wrought iron pentagram holder. Once she evoked the necessary protection for her spell, she glanced at the grimoire again, hoping her Gaelic was up to the task, hoping she was up to the task. She s...

With the help of his mysterious greeter, Seph, and his tough and intimidating roommate, Cragor, can Frank navigate the darkness in search of love and light?
Months after escaping the horrifying creatures living in the London underground, Lexi Keely and her small group of survivors find themselves with new challenges as they make their home in Dunsbrough Castle in the South-East of England. Technology has virtually disappeared. Food is in short supply. The gloom brought about by the never-ending cloud cover caused by the asteroid's impact makes growing anything almost impossible. A chance sighting of sheep in a field across the mighty Thames River sends the group in search of protein. Arriving on the southern bank, the sheep are not the only wildlife they encounter. Whilst examining the remains of several of the terrifying aquatic humanoids, a lone survivor of the creatures' attack stumbles in the group and fuels the group's nightmares once more. Drawn to the castle, the creatures invade and kidnap one of Lexi's group. Steeling herself, Lexi embarks on a journey to exact revenge and rescue her friend.
History may be written by the victors, but it is not always written in stone. Often the difference between a win or a loss comes down to the smallest moment, the smallest shift. A bit of luck. This anthology of twenty alternate history short stories revisits several of those pivotal moments and imagines what might have happened if things had gone just a little bit differently. The authors have drawn upon the whole timeline of history to tell stories of Scottish kings and Russian czars who lived instead of died, of wars whose outcome hinged on one person’s single choice, and of inventions that might have changed the world. The collection is filled with familiar figures—including Billy the...

Soul Jar, edited by author and bookstore owner Annie Carl, features thirty-one stories by disabled authors, imagining such wonders as a shapeshifter on a first date, skin that sprouts orchid buds, and a cereal-box demon. An insulin pump diverts an undead mob. An autistic teen sets out to discover the local cranberry bog’s sinister secret. A pizza delivery on Mars goes wrong.
