NEW PREORDERS (Links are Universal Book Links)

Korrigan Grimm – James A. Moore – The final solo novel by a legend of horror and grimdark fantasy.  Korrigan Grimm is nothing more than a pawn, caught between his father and their sworn enemy in a war without end. He has spent most of his life as the prisoner of the Sharhadua, as have his siblings. Although he is treated well, his life is not his own. And yet, Korrigan Grimm has a destiny.

As battles are lost and powers shift, his siblings are put to death, one by one, as is the tradition. His time is running out and if he is to claim his power, he must act swiftly. With the help of his only true friend, Whisper, he escapes his bondage and flees toward a father who is a stranger to him. But this is a brutal world, ruled by war and governed by battles both won and lost. Even a stolen dragon’s pearl won’t be enough to save him. He must reclaim his soul-binding artifacts and thus, his power.

Hunted by both sides and feared on the battlefield, Korrigan Grimm fights to reclaim his artifacts and his power. But will his power be enough? Can he somehow seize his father’s power and end the war, all while keeping his friends safe? And what is the price of living forever in a world that never stops trying to kill you?

Call Down the Lightning – Teel James Glenn - Tecumseh Scott, a disabled former Marine, lives in a Manhattan apartment above a year-round haunted house attraction at 42nd St., because the screams from below drown out the cries of his dead comrades in his head. Trying to blend in with the emotionally damaged haunt actors and having a rough time dealing with civilian life, his fragile balance is upset by new violence when he saves a young woman from a mugging.

Drawn into a whirlwind mystery when suddenly attacked by a cadre of hired killers, Tecumseh calls upon members of his old unit. Soon they are all targeted for extinction as they try to keep a final promise to a brother-in-arms. Tecumseh attempts to honor the memory of the lighting symbol, their unit mark, and dodge withering live fire at the same time.

Will Tecumseh stop the bad guys before his own inner demons tear him apart? Can he survive a horrible betrayal that threatens to destroy all his hopes for a future?

SPOTLIGHT ON THE WORLD OF DARKNESS CLAN NOVELS SAGA – NOW IN AUDIO!

The Vampire the Masquerade Clan Novel Saga is a thirteen-volume masterpiece, presenting the war between the established Camarilla leadership and the growing power of the brutal Sabbat on the East Coast of the United States. Each novel is told from the perspective of one of the thirteen clans, intertwining with the others, and filling in missing pieces artfully as we follow battle after battle, intrigue after intrigue—and the appearance of a strange artifact that falls into the hands of a solitary Toreador sculptor.

Clan Novel Toreador is the first in this series: Among the thirteen clans of the Kindred—vampires who secretly manipulate human events—the Toreador are dismissed as hedonists. They accept this as the price of preserving that which is beautiful...particularly themselves. Yet not all Toreador are so easily ignored. the cunning Victoria Ash makes Atlanta's most famous art museum her venue for plots that could win her control of the city. And though the sculptor Leopold desires only solitude to perfect his art, he is forced to enter the dangerous world of his kin to discover the truth of his past—with consequences that will change Kindred society forever.

The Dark Side of the Morgue – Raymond Benson – Narrated by Rick Bender AUDIO SAMPLE

Shamus Award Nominee for Best Paperback Original P.I. Novel of 2009 by the Private Eye Writers of America!

From Raymond Benson, author of sixteen novels, including six James Bond 007 novels, comes this second original mystery/thriller set in the world of rock ‘n' roll.

Spike Berenger is back in another “Rock ‘n' Roll Hit” by award winning, internationally best-selling author Raymond Benson!

Musicians in progressive rock bands in Chicago are being murdered-one by one. The local police have no clues, but several of the musicians who fear they're next on the hit list claim that the killer is a ghost from the past-a woman who was reported missing and presumed dead for over thirty years! The Rockin' Security team is called into action. Spike and his partner, Suzanne, travel to Chicago to investigate the case, only to find that no one wants to talk. As Spike digs deeper, he begins to unearth a lode of deadly secrets involving sex, psychedelic drugs, and, of course, rock ‘n' roll. And it isn't long before the private detective becomes a pawn in a very dangerous game.

Here is our new list of books we are offering free download codes for.  We are trying to build reviews, and while we don’t require a review for a free download, even just a rating on Audible or Amazon can make a huge difference in visibility.

We will offer them to the first five who request them, and only one title per requester. To request a code send a note to [email protected]

THIS WEEK’S TITLES:

Terminal: Author’s Preferred Edition – Brian Keene – Performed by Chet Williamson AUDIO SAMPLE

Tommy O’Brien once hoped to leave his run-down industrial hometown. But, marriage and fatherhood have kept him running in place, working a job that doesn’t even pay the bills. And now, he seems fated to stay for the rest of his life. Tommy has just learned he’s going to die young - and soon. But he refuses to leave his family with less than nothing - especially now that he has nothing to lose.

Over a couple of beers with his best friends, John and Sherm, Tommy launches a bold scheme to provide for his family’s future. And though his plan will spin shockingly out of control, it will throw him together with a child whose touch can heal - and whose ultimate lesson is that there are far worse things than dying. Now, one man’s war with God may impact us all.

The Essential Sick Stuff – Ronald Kelly – Performed by J. Rodney Turner – AUDIO SAMPLE

Winner of the 2021 Splatterpunk Award for Best Collection

In the foul and fetid darkness, it awakens.

Vile, unstable, brimming with ill intent, like pus on the verge of eruption. Repulsive to gaze upon and even more disturbing to comprehend. It reaches out and discovers that the others—its siblings—have abandoned this cancerous womb long ago. Angry and alone, it thrashes violently…tearing, clawing its way from dormancy into daylight…and onto the dark playground of your bookshelf.

Amid this audio, Southern horror master Ronald Kelly has brought together a loathsome assemblage of stories that cut deeply and expose the raw nerves of fright and revulsion. Joining his extreme horror collections, The Sick Stuff and More Sick Stuff, is a third installment of yarns both new and old…

Even Sicker Stuff. Combined, they meld and morph, forming The Essential Sick Stuff. Twenty-three abhorrent tales to tantalize and torture the fragile psyche; to cause the stomach to revolt and gooseflesh to crawl as though something, visceral and alive, lurks just beneath the surface...

The Men Upstairs – Tim Waggoner – Performed by Gary Noon – AUDIO SAMPLE

He finds her crying in the lobby of a movie theater and takes her home to his apartment, a strange, beautiful woman with no last name, a mysterious past, and a powerful sexual allure. He wants her, and she wants him. There's only one problem: the men upstairs. She used to belong to them—and they'll do anything to get her back.

"Waggoner delivers a tale of cosmic and body horror at its most disturbing. The Men Upstairs is a fascinating study of the ancient tension between repulsion and desire." (Laird Barron, author of Occultation)
