Deep in the uncharted jungles of Vietnam, there lurks a sinister parasite, alien to our species . . . until now. A chance encounter binds human and parasite at the mitochondrial DNA level, thus starting a chain of events that may bring real monsters into our midst. A dual being must learn to coexist with each half, but the world is a stressful place, and stress causes change. In most relationships, there is a dominant and submissive partner. Are we really the apex predator we believe ourselves to be? The question, then: will humanity be able to dominate an unwanted live-in partner or fall prey to one of the most adaptive, smallest organisms on Earth?

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...

What if I told you that the creatures from Lovecraft's stories are real? Creatures from another realm, woven into stories at a time where such revelations of truth would have seen Lovecraft locked away in an asylum. To the mere mortal his work is a collection of fiction, but what about the reader, the one who can see beyond the tales and can see these creatures amongst us? That one is the Chosen One. The one who can release Cthulhu from the depths of the ocean. What would you do as the Chosen One?
