Book excerpt: Nuala of Glengowyn hasn’t left the elven kingdom in over a century, but not by choice. Her skills as a weapons master have made her a prisoner of her people, held apart, protected in the extreme. Until Sorcerers attack the neighboring human city. When she’s sent to help the humans, however, Nuala is still far from free. Because she’s forced to travel with a bodyguard, the most fearsome warrior among her people—and the only man Nuala has ever loved. Einar is known as a battle-crazed destroyer, so feared among elves he’s called by a single name: Darkness. And he has only one weakness—Nuala. Their union is forbidden, because melding their magics could destroy Nuala’s gifts. But as they journey through the war-torn human city, no royal decree is a match for two hundred years of pent-up desire. Surviving the war zone won’t be enough if they give in to their long denied passion. They’ll have to confront their sovereigns and face the ultimate punishment—or prove love makes them stronger.

Devouring Dark is a genre-smashing supernatural thriller that masterfully blends elements of crime and horror in an adrenaline-fueled, life-or-death rollercoaster ride that’s emblematic of the fiction from award-winning author Alan Baxter. Praise for Devouring Dark: "There is a lot to like about Devouring Dark, especially if you are into grimdark (grey characters, making a decision between bad and worse) and dark fantasy... I could hardly put it down and couldn't wait to get back reading it. The atmosphere, the complexity of the characters and the curiosity just sucks you in. Devouring Dark is a gritty, tension filled read from the start until the end." – Grimdark Magazine “Devouring Dark is a thrilling mix of crime and horror, a book that somehow defies either description yet embraces both. It moves like a juggernaut, thundering towards an intense, emotional conclusion. I devoured Alan Baxter’s dark; you should too.” – Gary McMahon, author of Pretty Little Dead Things “Devouring Dark is a powerful tale of crime and death, cleverly crafted and flawlessly executed. I’m a fan of Alan Baxter and Devouring Dark is a perfect example of why. Do yourself a favor and join me for some shivers.” – James A. Moore, author of Seven Forges and the Serenity Falls Trilogy “Action-packed yet emotionally resonant, Devouring Dark held me to the last page.” – Kaaron Warren, Shirley Jackson Award-winning author of Tide of Stone Proudly presented by Grey Matter Press, the multiple Bram Stoker Award-nominated independent publisher.

She’s spent the last three years unsuccessfully trying to forget Nathan Longfeather, but it’s apparent he’s already forgotten her. Nathan thought guarding an archaeological dig site would be an easy and welcome break from his normal high-tension contracts.

Nights she seems to have forgotten. As the truth of Ti’ann’s discovery is revealed, Nathan’s job gets a lot more deadly, and keeping Ti’ann and her team alive becomes his top priority. In a time when anything to do with Narava’s native species, the Shifters, leads to violence, Ti’ann and Nathan face enemies from both sides of the conflict and will have to find a way to prevent a planet-wide war. If they can survive, they might just have a future…together.

Book excerpt: Two terrifying novellas from bestselling author Ania Ahlborn, “a great storyteller who spins an atmosphere of dread literally from the first page” (Jeff Somers). The Pretty Ones New York, 1977. The sweltering height of the Summer of Sam. The entire city is gripped with fear, but all Nell Sullivan worries about is whether or not she’ll ever make a friend. The self-proclaimed “Plain Jane” does her best to fit in with the girls at work, but Nell’s brother, Barrett, assures her that she’ll never be like them. When Nell manages to finally garner some much-yearned-for attention, the unthinkable happens to her newfound friend. The office pool blames Son of Sam, but Nell knows the awful truth…because doing the devil’s work is easy when there’s already a serial killer on the loose. I Call Upon Thee Maggie Olsen had a pretty ordinary childhood—swimming and sleepovers, movie nights and dad jokes. And then there were the other things…the darker things…the shadow that followed her home from the cemetery and settled into the corners of her home, refusing to let her grow up in peace. Now, after three years away from the place she's convinced she inadvertently haunted, and after yet another family tragedy strikes, Maggie is forced to return to the sweltering heat of a Savannah summer to come to terms with her past. All along, she's been telling herself, it was just in your head, and she nearly convinces herself that she'd imagined it all. But the moment Maggie steps into the foyer of her family home, she knows. The darkness is still here. And it's been waiting for Maggie's return…

Book excerpt: To most in the Realm of Drugolin, ]otherly+ lore lingered as mysterious legends best suited for late night hearths. On rare occasions one might hear of strange visitations. Some of huge, radiant beings bearing aid and guidance. Others of dark, evil creatures summoning dread and death. All were a part of Drugolish legend, but few took them seriously. The westland village of Noy couldn't afford the apathy of its unenlightened, middleland neighbors. Its enclosing fortress walls stood as a monument to the frightening visitations it experienced, day and night. When the town's most celebrated +adventurer+ receives a prophetic lamp, he teams with one final group on a faith empowering mission into the dread regions of evil that could usher in an eternal age where mortals are like angels and God reigns supreme. Yahwin (God), Krystos (Jesus), Sahron (Satan), a host of otherly foes, +warrior angels, + and warrior prophets endued with extraordinary power all inhabit this peculiar realm in which +eschatologian+ Mark Norris +allegorizes+ +a prophetic+ tale that wars for the Millennium's victor's rights. What would you do if an angel materialized in your bedroom tonight, handed you a prophetic lampstand that projected the events of Satan's rebellion, and invited you to brave the powers of hell? The otherly+ is waiting, ...will you go? +Mark Norris (B.A. theology/M.A. journalism) has served as a pastor, Christian education director, radio teacher, TV ministries prayer director, and publishing house editor. Today he works as a liaison for the U.S. Army.+

Download or read book The Hungering Dark written by Stephen R. Clark and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I don’t know what it is or what it isn’t. I don’t know how it works or functions. I don’t know if it’s magic, pure evil straight from hell, alien, or what. All I know is what it does when the lights go out. And I know I never want to be in the same room with it in the dark.” A mysterious and deadly threat—housed in a strange puzzle box—has found its way to the humble town of Timbuk, Pennsylvania. The object’s origins reach all the way back to Moses, the plagues, and Pharaoh’s wicked magicians. For centuries, secret groups have been hunting the box and its contents. One group allegedly seeks to destroy it. The other—called the Descendants—seeks to use it to visit revenge on the Jewish people. Now fate has placed the box in the hands of an unassuming Christian family, a small-town sheriff, a female state trooper, and a professor of biblical archaeology. Realizing the power the puzzle box holds, they must do everything they can to keep their community—and the world—safe from the deadly darkness.

Download or read book Russian Folk Belief written by Linda J. Ivanits and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-04 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scholarly work that aims to be both broad enough in scope to satisfy upper-division undergraduates studying folk belief and narrative and detailed enough to meet the needs of graduate students in the field. Each of the seven chapters in Part 1 focuses on one aspect of Russian folk belief, such as the pagan background, Christian personages, devils and various other logical categories of the topic. The author's thesis - that Russian folk belief represents a "double faith" whereby Slavic pagan beliefs are overlaid with popular Christianity - is persuasive and has analogies in other cultures. The folk narratives constituting Part 2 are translated and include a wide range of tales, from the briefly anecdotal to the more fully developed narrative, covering the various folk personages and motifs explored in Part 1.
