Angel’s Mass – MG Mason
Medieval ghost horror
Historians believe aside from two days in which the great monastic house of Tintern Abbey gave sanctuary to a king fleeing a usurper, nothing of note ever happened there.
But they are wrong.
In the early hours of Christmas Eve sometime in the 1340s, a man appears to an ordinary monk named Edmund.
A man who only Edmund could see and hear.
Hot Singles in Your Area – Jordan Shiveley
Fantasy horror
Noah desperately needs a new job, so, when he spots an ad for a newspaper with ‘No experience preferred’, he puts on his good shirt and marches down to their average-looking office to unknowingly sign his life away.
Malachia is the only human left in the City of Silence and she spends her time wandering its empty, bone-filled streets. Until one day she finds a lone figure hunched over a typewriter, his fingers enmeshed with the keys. Could he be the answer to finding her missing girlfriend?
Propelled by their pursuits for rent money and truth, Noah and Malachia are pushed to their limits by a sinister media powerhouse. Will either of them survive the darkness that ensues?
The Last Watch of Red Rock – Chaz Williams
Creature horror
Nothing has been the same since an inmate disappeared into thin air at Red Rock State Penitentiary.
A month later and still no answers, theories run rampant. What is supposed to be one of the most secure places on earth will descend into chaos as an insatiable hunger spreads its way throughout the prison.
No one is safe; no one can be trusted.
Revenant-X – David Wellington
Space horror – Book 2 of Red Space
The crew of the Artemis – led by Firewatch agent Alexandra Petrova – have survived the furious onslaught of the Basilisk and broken through the space blockade around Paradise-1. Now they can pursue their original mission and investigate why Earth’s first deep space colony has fallen silent.
The answer seems obvious: the site is deserted.
Or so they think.
Some of the colonists remain, but they’re no longer human.
Petrova and her crew now face a desperate struggle to survive as they attempt to uncover the mystery of what has befallen the colony.
If they fail, the darkness that has fallen over Paradise-1 will consume them.
Snow Drowned – Jennifer D. Lyle
Supernatural horror
There’s a saying on Fall Island: if you’re not careful, the snow will get you.
Gracie Hutchinson has lived on Fall Island her whole life and knows there’s some truth to those words. Fall’s snowstorms have a spooky way of claiming people, making them disappear without a trace or driving them mad. Now, with a hundred-year-storm approaching, most of Fall’s residents have fled to the mainland. But not Gracie. Left behind her with physician father, she braces for landfall.
Gracie’s not the only one stuck on Fall for the storm. Her classmate Joseph Wescott, descendant of the legendary pioneer who founded Fall Island, has stayed, too. After a chance encounter, the two stumble across something more unsettling than the snow: a ritually mutilated corpse. By night, as the snow begins to fall, it becomes clear that whoever (or whatever) murdered the man they found has their sights set on Gracie.
Seeking refuge at Wescott Manor, Gracie feels safe surrounded by dozens of locals hunkered down in the huge house. But as the storm assaults the island, Gracie discovers secrets that have been kept since Fall was settled. If she can’t uncover the hidden history and terrifying truth about Fall Island before the storm’s end, she’ll be the next to disappear into the snow.
The Swarm – Andy Marino
Apocalypse horror
It begins with cicadas. It will end with the swarm.
When a bizarre murder case lands on the desk of Detective Vicky Paterson, it’s just the start of her nightmare. On the same day, her young daughter, Sadie, is swarmed by cicadas emerging off-cycle from their seventeen-year pattern. Sadie barely survives, and her condition is critical.
Across town, Will and Alicia, two dysfunctional private investigators, are on the trail of a missing girl and the shadowy cult involved in her disappearance. But after the first wave of insects hit, they are forced to barricade themselves in a motel where they must work together with a group of strangers to outlast the invasion.
Soon the infestation is impossible to contain. Humanity rests on the knife’s edge of extinction. And there is a terrible purpose behind the emergence – one that Vicky, Will, Alicia, and a small group of unlikely allies must unravel if they are to survive.
