Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twilight Wood is a strange but enchanting place. Its edges are boggy, and there are lots of prickly brambles, stinging nettles and spiny yellow gorse bushes which protect its secrets from the outside world. Let us enter it together, just this once. Let us scramble carefully through one of the gaps in the thicket and tread the narrow path leading towards the little stone stile...and, if we walk a little further, a crooked signpost. To our left is Pigwidgeon Village, where the nasty goblins dwell. To our right is Lantern Town, the only part of Pigwidgeon Village that ever sees daylight. This is a place where nothing is bad. There are no foxes, giants or criminals-none of those silly people who laugh and say there is no such thing as make-believe. The little dwellings in Lantern Town come in all shapes and sizes, and are made from anything the little folk have found and brought back from the outside world...There are lots of colourful old boots and shoes, plant pots, jam jars and boxes-even a battered copper kettle. There is the Town Hall, the Church, the Fire Station, the Corner Shop, The Post Office and the Ironmongers. Everything, in fact, that you would find in your own town. Oh, and there is the Royal Palace, though the Queen is not as beautiful and kind as the little folk would like her to be. So, let us enter Lantern Town. Let us get to know some of its inhabitants, and hear of their adventures. I rather think you will want to go there time and time again!

Book excerpt: The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine! In Crossroads of Twilight, the tenth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al'Thor and his allies endure trials by fire amidst battles, sacrifices, and treachery. Fleeing from Ebou Dar with the kidnapped Daughter of the Nine Moons, whom he is fated to marry, Mat Cauthon learns that he can neither keep her nor let her go, not in safety for either of them, for both the Shadow and the might of the Seanchan Empire are in deadly pursuit. Perrin Aybara will stop at nothing to free his wife Faile from the Shaido Aiel. Consumed by rage, he offers no mercy to those he takes prisoner. And when he discovers that Masema Dagar, the Prophet of the Dragon, has been conspiring with the Seanchan, Perrin considers making an unholy alliance. Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn himself, has cleansed the Dark One's taint from the male half of the True Source, and everything has changed. Yet nothing has, for only men who can channel believe that saidin is clean again, and a man who can channel is still hated and feared—even one prophesied to save the world. Now, Rand must gamble again, with himself at stake, and he cannot be sure which of his allies are really enemies.

For, within the confines of the dark labyrinth, the strangers are being hunted by an ancient legend, a shadowy horror unknown to the world of man.

Now, racing against time and the shadows around them, these strangers must confront the darkest of demons, an aged man obsessed with immortality, and the ultimate horror he has awakened: the legend of the shadow serpentine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fantastic and Horrific Stories (2021) is a collection of short fiction by Arthur Machen. Condemned as decadent and obscene upon publication, Machen’s writing earned praise from Oscar Wilde and H. P. Lovecraft. Throughout the years, Machen’s work has been referenced and adapted by such figures as Stephen King, Guillermo del Toro, and Josh Malerman for its masterfully unsettling blend of science, myth, and magic. The Great God Pan, perhaps Machen’s most celebrated work, is the story of an occult experiment gone horribly wrong. Clarke has always taken an interest in occult matters, so when a friend offers him a chance to witness an experimental procedure intended to access the spirit realm, he cannot refuse. When the young patient Mary awakens, she shows signs of terror and soon falls into a catatonic state. Convinced of their success in discovering the world of “the great god Pan,” Clarke and Raymond agree to keep their discovery a secret. Years later, a nearby town begins reporting the mysterious disappearances of young children, all of whom have been seen in the forest with a
