Book excerpt: 2023 Ontario Author Project Winner in Adult Fiction Rich with folklore and paranormal intrigue, The Hollow Gods is an atmospheric supernatural thriller that will satisfy lovers of Hannah Whitten's FOR THE WOLF, especially those craving a fable with a darker touch. hr Black Hollow is a town with a dark secret. For centuries, residents have foretold the return of the Dreamwalker—an ominous figure from local folklore said to lure young women into the woods and possess them. Yet the boundary between fact and fable is blurred by a troubling statistic: occasionally, women do go missing. And after they return, they almost always end up dead. When Kai wakes up next to the lifeless body of a recently missing girl, his memory blank, he struggles to clear his already threadbare conscience. Miya, a floundering university student, experiences signs that she may be the Dreamwalker's next victim. Can she trust Kai as their paths collide, or does he herald her demise? And after losing a young patient, crestfallen oncologist, Mason, embarks on a quest to debunk the town's superstitions, only to find his sanity tested. A maelstrom of ancient grudges, forgotten traumas, and deadly secrets loom in the foggy forests of Black Hollow. Can three unlikely heroes put aside their fears and unite to confront a centuries-old evil? Will they uncover the truth behind the fable, or will the cycle repeat? "The writing sizzles with menace, and the dark mythology A.J. Vrana weaves from dreams and nightmares is unlike any I've ever encountered, in and out of books." – Katya de Becerra, author of OASIS and WHAT THE WOODS KEEP "Utterly consuming with palpable emotion, an engaging mystery, and absolutely delicious tension, this is one that lingers after you’ve turned the final page, an itch that needs to be scratched." – Verified Reviewer "I would highly recommend this book for anyone with interest in folklore, magical realism, and a dark touch of horror. An absolutely stunning debut from this author. I have pre-ordered my own copy of the book, and I am very much looking forward to the second book in The Chaos Cycle." – Verified Reviewer "The Hollow Gods is a striking debut about guilt, grief, and how the past sometimes finds a way to come back to haunt us. The roots of this story will be familiar to those who enjoy reading about fairytales and folklore, but Vrana has added her own touch to the genre that allows this novel to hold its own against the greats." – Verified Reviewer "A gem of a book. Can’t wait for the next one." – Verified Reviewer "Vrana crafts a unique local mythology and draws from existing lore to create a sense of creeping dread." – Publisher’s Weekly hr The Chaos Cycle Duology is best enjoyed in this order: Book 1: The Hollow Gods Book 2: The Echoed Realm

Download or read book In the Beginning Was Chaos written by Sarah L. Maguire and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the noble Titan Prometheus who stole fire from Mount Olympus to the bloody tale of how Kronos castrated his own father Ouranos to avenge his mother Gaia, these visceral, often dark and powerful stories about the creation of the world are also larger than life projections of human passions, the exercise of power in a violent and hierarchical world and a reflection on the bitter-sweet human condition. With their remote origins in Mesopotamia and the ancient civilisations of the Near East, these myths come down to us primarily from the early Greek poet and farmer Hesiod in his two epic poems; the Theogony and the Works and Days. Drawing on Hesiod's account as well as ancient authors such as Ovid, Aeschylus and Apollodorus of Alexandria, In the Beginning was Chaos recounts the stories of the ancient Greeks about how the world began, the creation of humanity and their troubled relationship with the Gods. It includes the war between the Olympians and the Titans, Prometheus and his struggle with Zeus, as well as detailed descriptions of the twelve Olympian gods and goddesses and an account of the Underworld. It also includes the story Deucalion and Pyrrha and the great flood with its striking parallels to the Biblical account of the flood.

Download or read book No God s Land written by L R Llewellyn and published by L. R. Llewellyn. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty years ago, a supernatural apocalypse rendered the world nearly unrecognizable. Incomprehensible beings called Horrors devoured everything they could touch. Gods - originally called to be saviors - tore up bits of reality, sealing it away in their realms, where Humans are allowed to live, but at a price. Absolute loyalty and blind obedience in exchange for safety. Today, those who refuse to bend knee to a God live in what's left of the world; a bleak, harsh wasteland known as No God's Land. It is rife with Horrors and Monsters, but as long as one stays near civilization there is at least a chance of safety. Kitty doesn't like staying near civilization. She is one of the few citizens of No God's Land brave - or stupid - enough to venture away from the protection of mankind. She's grown up in No God's Land, and what so many others find terrifying she sees only as challenging adventures. But even Kitty begins to suspect she's bitten off more than she can chew when an impulsive trip to a God realm gets her involved with a boy named Tyre - a new prophet who seems to have a target on his back. On top of that, Cerberus - guardian of the Greek pantheon's land of death - has appeared, looking for help in recovering Hades from a magical prison before the slowly escaping dead souls can take over the land. Hunted by Gods even as they go in search of one, Kitty and her new companions head into the heart of the unforgiving landscape of No God's Land. Kitty is beginning to think she might actually be in over her head for the first time in her life, and that had better be a good thing - it's already too late to be turning back.
