Usher of the Fallen
Usher of the FallenYears after escaping the grip of a sinister cult, Rachel Miller thought she had left the past behind. But when a strange man with a faded photograph shows up asking questions, old nightmares return—visions of blood-soaked ceremonies, cryptic symbols, and an ancient presence buried deep underground. A familiar voice whispers in the back of her mind, urging her to return to her brothers and sisters to finish the ritual they began so many years ago. Each day, Rachel’s visions grow stronger, putting her new life in jeopardy and the same question gnaws at is she finally losing her mind, or are these compulsions the work of something far more sinister? <i>Usher of the Fallen</i> is an occult psychological horror that erodes the boundary between nightmare and reality, where one woman’s attempt to escape her demons leads to disastrous consequences.

The Country Under Heaven
The Country Under Heaven<b>Louis L’Amour meets H.P. Lovecraft in this thrilling western epic about a former Civil War soldier wracked by enigmatic visions…</b> More than a decade after the Civil War, former Union soldier Ovid Vesper still suffers from the paralyzing visions he’s been having since he survived one of the war’s most gruesome battles, the Battle of Antietam. As he travels across the Western frontier following those visions, he finds himself in stranger and increasingly more dangerous encounters with other worlds hidden in the spaces of his own, not to mention the dangers of the Wild West. Nonetheless, Ovid brings his steady calm and compassion as he helps the people of a broken country, rapidly changing but, like himself, still reeling and wounded from the war. He assists with matters of all sorts, from odd jobs around the house, to guiding children back to their own universe, to hunting down unnatural creatures that stalk the night – all the while seeking his own personal resolution and peace from his visions. Ovid’s epic journey across the American West with a surprising cast of characters blends elements of the classic Western with historical fantasy in a way like no other.

Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales of H. P. Lovecraft: Commemorative EditionWIKIPEDIA says: 'H.P. Lovecraft's reputation has grown tremendously over the decades, and he is now commonly regarded as one of the most important horror writers of the 20th century, exerting an influence that is widespread, though often indirect.'

THE NECRONOMICON collects together the very best of Lovecraft's tales of terror, including the complete Cthulhu Mythos cycle, just the way they were originally published. It will introduce a whole new generation of readers to Lovecraft's fiction, as well as being a must-buy for those fans who want all his work in a single, definitive volume.

There Is No Antimemetics Division
There Is No Antimemetics DivisionThey’re all around us, hiding in plain sight. One could be in the room with you now, just to your left. You could be seeing it right now—but from this second to the next, you’ll forget that you did. If you managed to jot down a note, the paper would look blank to you afterward. These entities can feed on your most cherished memories, the things that make you you—and you’ll never even know anything changed. They can turn you into a living ghost—make it so you’re standing next to your spouse, screaming in their ear, and they won’t know you’re there. They’re predators equipped with the ultimate camouflage, living black holes for information, able to consume our very memories of their existence. And they aren’t just feeding on us. They’re invading. But how do you fight an enemy when you can never even know that you’re at war? How do you contain something you can’t record or remember? Welcome to the Antimemetics Division. No, this is not your first day.

Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story. Soon, though, the men find themselves drawn into a tale as deep and old as the Reservoir. It's a tale of dark pacts, of long-buried secrets, and of a mysterious figure known as Der Fisher: the Fisherman. It will bring Abe and Dan face to face with all that they have lost, and with the price they must pay to regain it.
