Download or read book Too Macabre for Montreal written by Mark Leslie and published by Stark Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is too macabre for Montreal? Are you sure you really want to know? When working on the book MACABRE MONTREAL, the authors ended up with a few chapters that ended up being cut from the original manuscript because they were felt to be a little too dark, a little too disturbing, perhaps too close to home, and too controversial, to include in the book. The vision for the book was a fun and eerie romp through some of the macabre and unexplained events in the history of the second most populous city in Canada. So these stories that ended up on the "cutting room floor" and never made it into that book were tales that included: A murderous exhibitionist using multiple fake social media profiles The most notorious female serial killer and rapist in Canadian history A bizarre tale of historic decapitation Recorded acts of rape, dismemberment, necrophilia and cannibalism The heinous acts of a misogynistic mass murderer And more... They were, in other words, stories deemed too macabre for the original book. Reader, be warned. These are not lighter ghostly tales. They are stories pulled from the darkest parts of the human psyche, and are only for those who are able to handle darker, more disturbing content.

It's been three years since the horrifying events at Claymore Manor school, and Anna Maron has moved on with her life. She attends university in Toronto and spends most of her time alone, avoiding the shadows. She’s resolved to let sleeping ghosts lie. Only some ghosts won’t sleep. Now her troubled cousin Lucia—newly released from a psych ward—has gone missing, and Anna is the only one who can find her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THERE'S NO ESCAPING THE EVIL THAT RISES WITHIN OUR OWN HEARTS. On a work trip to Los Angeles, Michael Andrews stumbles upon the rising underground movement of the Proud Fighters for America, a white-supremacist group hell-bent not only on vanquishing any outside their pre-defined definitions of the one pure race, but also on leveraging long-buried paranormal experiments conducted by Nazi Germany to create an army of super soldiers. But this group isn't confined to the west coast. Their numbers have also spread to New York, Michael's home stomping grounds. Michael has to determine if a mysterious woman he is falling in love with who has ties to the PFA and a unique paranormal ability of her own can be trusted, and if the two of them, along with another supernatural creature and an occult scholar, are enough to take down the growing legion of evil. FEARS AND FRIGHTS combines the complete texts of the two-book story arc that unrolls in the novels FEAR AND LONGING IN LOS ANGELES and FRIGHT NIGHTS, BIG CITY into a single digital bundle. ------------- FEAR AND LONGING IN LOS ANGELES WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE. If New York is the city that never sleeps, then L.A. is the city where you have to sleep with one eye open. Michael Andrews learns quickly that it's not just the cut-throat world of Hollywood you need to fear. There's something deeper, darker, and far more disturbing lurking just beneath the shadows of the city, waiting for any moment of vulnerability to grab you by the throat. An extended trip to Los Angeles to be on set for the movie adaptation of his latest novel leads Michael into a twisted and macabre underworld where he becomes entangled with an intriguing, sexy, and mysterious woman. At times she seems just what he needs in order to finally get over the unrequited love of his ex-girlfriend; but at other times, she appears to be the gateway to a Pandora's box of B-movie nightmares. Can he trust her? Can he trust himself with her? Michael's supernatural wolf-enhanced powers and special abilities might not be enough to survive this particular harsh and gritty jungle and the unique and deadly predators that crawl out of the shadows. ----- FRIGHT NIGHTS, BIG CITY STOP SPREADING THE NEWS! THERE'S NO LEAVING TODAY! Not when the Big Apple comes under attack from an infectious worm threatening to rot it, and the entire nation, to the core. Michael Andrews thought he'd found the perfect woman in Lex. A companion whose own powers neutralize his werewolf curse and bringing the balance he's always wanted. But his plans on settling down and giving up the vigilante lifestyle are fleeting. The hatred, the fear, and the monstrous attacks on innocent civilians are growing and spreading as supernatural monsters roam the city streets at night. The neo-Nazi Proud Fighters for America, aware of the special abilities that Lex possesses, track her down and plan on leveraging her powers for their own nefarious purposes. With Michael's powers nullified in Lex's presence, the couple is forced to divide in their attempt to conquer, and Michael turns to his ex-girlfriend and her knowledge of the occult world in order to understand how to fight this rising evil. But will two supernatural forces of good operating separately and one paranormal scholar be enough to vanquish the growing legion of evil?
