Maxine Chadbourn had always steered clear of the Blackwood Forest. It wasn't just the pitch-black shadows or the eerie silence that filled the air; it was something far more personal. The forest had a way of pulling out the darkest parts of her soul, awakening the demons that whispered ceaselessly in her mind. But when family duty calls her to her grandmother's isolated home deep within these cursed woods, Maxine must face the fears she's long buried. Little does she know, something—or someone—waits for her, lurking in the shadows with intentions as dark as the forest itself. He is the Harlow Wolf, a figure shrouded in mystery, dangerously alluring and fatally obsessed. His gaze is piercing, his intentions cryptic. As night falls, and the forest comes alive with chilling screams, Maxine realizes too late that her predator is closer than she thought. A dance of fear and fascination begins as she becomes the object of his dark obsession. As Maxine navigates the treacherous paths of Blackwood, each step brings her closer to a truth that might unravel her. In a world where the line between hunter and hunted blurs, will she escape the shadows that seek to consume her, or will she be drawn into the darkness? Shadows of Blackwood is a gripping psychological thriller that will hold you captive. This novel promises a journey through layers of fear, attraction, and the supernatural. Dive into the heart of Blackwood, where the darkest secrets don't stay hidden for long.

She's still reeling when she's offered an unexpected solution: Mr. Argenton, a wealthy stranger, has asked for her hand in marriage. Marrying Mr. Argenton will save her family, but it condemns Sophie to a life in Northwood, a vast and unnaturally dark mansion situated hours from civilization. Still, she has no choice but accept the offer and hope the darkness won't swallow her whole. It's a struggle to adjust to her new position as mistress over the desolate house.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An intricate magic system, a grimly humorous Black heroine, AND a heart-thumping romance? This book leaves nothing wanting." - Jordan Ifueko, New York Times bestselling author of Raybearer Andromeda is a debtera—an exorcist hired to cleanse households of the Evil Eye. She would be hired, that is, if her mentor hadn’t thrown her out before she could earn her license. Now her only hope of steady work is to find a Patron—a rich, well-connected individual who will vouch for her abilities. When a handsome young heir named Magnus Rorschach reaches out to hire her, she takes the job without question. Never mind that he’s rude and demanding and eccentric, that the contract comes with a number of outlandish rules... and that almost a dozen debtera had quit before her. If Andromeda wants to earn a living, she has no choice. But she quickly realizes this is a job like no other, with horrifying manifestations at every turn, and that Magnus is hiding far more than she has been trained for. Death is the most likely outcome if she stays, the reason every debtera before her quit. But leaving Magnus to live out his curse alone isn’t an option because—heaven help her—she’s fallen for him. Stunningly romantic, Lauren Blackwood's heartstopping debut, Within These Wicked Walls, ushers in an exciting new fantasy voice. "Fierce, eerie and heartfelt... a romantic and spine-chilling reimagining of a classic. I loved every creepy, swoon-worthy moment of it." - Laura E. Weymouth, author of The Light Between Worlds
Download or read book In the Shadow of Our House written by Scott Blackwood and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Scott Blackwood's debut collection of thematically linked stories, people live on the cusp of the past and present, saddled with the knowledge that "sometimes what you're thinking can't be dovetailed with what you do.” Set in Austin, Texas, the nine stories are told in spare language freighted with a sense of loss and dread, responsibility and fate. The characters in Blackwood's narratives face the result of the irrevocable choice they've made, accept their losses, and attempt to forge something meaningful out of what remains of their frayed connections to one another. In "Alias,” a man grapples with the decision to kidnap his step-daughter's child and raise her himself. During a medical crisis, a woman in "New Years" is forced to confront her growing estrangement from her teenage son and comfort her ex-husband's lover. In "Worry," a fifteen-year-old faces his father's infidelity and his own darkening vision of himself and the world around him. And in the title story, neighbors ponder what, if anything, they can do about the disappearance from their midst of Odie Dodd, an aging physician who witnessed the Jonestown mass suicide in Guyana. The moments Blackwood takes his stories to are small and quiet, but they contain whole worlds with wisdom coming at you--slow, certain, indelible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the fictional land of Carcosa that inspired the HBO show True Detective to H. P. Lovecraft’s accursed New England hills, this collection features some of the most legendary landscapes of the cosmic horror genre. The collection includes the following twelve stories: Edgar Allan Poe, "MS.
