This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of haunting and horrific tales inspired by one of the most terrifying encounters I've ever had in my life. While journeying through the Appalachian Mountains in the darkness of night I was scared beyond words. To give you a little background, I have spent a better part of my life exploring forests, jungles, swamps, and mountains across several continents. I have always enjoyed the beauty and serenity of Nature. Sometimes my curiosity of natural places gets the better of me and I have on occasion headed out of these locations a little later and a little further than expected. The vastness of nearly a million acres in your backyard can be staggering to comprehend. Add to it the fact that the forest I hike is over 480 million years old. It always feels like a lost world out here. So many hidden adventures await in all that mountainous splendor and its endless cavernous depths. It's a siren's call pulling me ever forward into those emerald recesses. Call it fate, bad luck, or maybe even a good omen, but on June 11th of 2022, I encountered something that still gives me a shudder on occasion. Especially when I look out to the back country of the Appalachian Mountains. An unnerving chill seems to run down my spine watching the sway of those distant towering pines. The horrific experience certainly ran the Dweller out of the darkness...for a little while. I ask you to join me on a journey both haunting and horrific. As you stare out to those swaying, ancient trees reading our book, maybe you notice that one tree that has a monstrous shape behind it. Maybe the shadow lurking behind that same tree looks at you curiously...for now.

Book excerpt: At the start of this fourteenth adventure for Amelia, which continues the wartime theme begun in Lord of the Silent, it is New Year's Eve, 1917. Risking winter storms and German torpedoes, the Emersons are heading for Egypt once again: Amelia, Emerson, their son Ramses and his wife Nefret. Emerson is counting on a long season of excavation without distractions but this proves to be a forlorn hope. Yet again they unearth a dead body in a looted tomb - not a mummified one though, this one is only too fresh, and it leads the clan on a search for the man who has threatened them with death if they pursue the excavations. If that wasn't distraction enough, Nefret reveals a secret she has kept hidden: there is reason to believe that Sethos, master criminal and spy may be helping the enemy. It's up to the Emersons to find out, and either prove his innocence or prevent him from betraying Britain's plans to take Jerusalem and win the war in the Middle East.
