Spine-Rattling Tales to Read before Bed
Weathering Gales
Rocky-Mountain Octopus
When Nightmares Crawl
A hungry, sinister evil lies buried beneath the soil of 19th-century Bright Creek, Vermont. Such folktales mean nothing to the disgraced Dr. Laurel and his wary assistant, Marcus. In their pursuit of scientific truth, they'll discover that a shovel and a dash of arrogant curiosity are enough to awaken the vampiric hunger of Francis West.
Tomb desecrated, they steal away with Francis’s skull in their possession. Eternal rest is but a dream for such demons, however, and in the course of their experiments, the skull festers with unholy life before claiming the attic as its own. Its fangs thirst for sanity. Its voice is not of this world. Its influence is one of merciless intent. Tormented by dread, terror, and all manner of temptation, Marcus must battle the evil creeping into his mind while protecting the woman of his affection, Kira, from certain madness.
More than horror awaits within this dark Gothic romance. Accompany Marcus as he wrestles temptation and darkness in a battle for his sanity and all he holds dear, while Kira struggles with her faith in God and affairs of the heart. Love, deception, faith, doubt, good, and evil all clash between these covers. Are you prepared to battle the nightmarish temptations crawling around in the attic? Tread lightly, because once their claws find a way into your heart, they're not likely to let go.

Imaginist (now in hardback!)
Aromel longs for a life as peaceful as the worlds he paints. Any hope of such serenity is shattered the moment Sage, a dryad, confronts him one night. A madness-inducing chaos is spreading across the land of Holdach, and despite Aromel’s protests, Sage believes he’s partially responsible.
The only power capable of halting the spreading decay lies in her possession: one of six Stones of Creation. These ancient relics, capable of manifesting anything one can conceive, are wielded only by those known as Imaginists. Aromel soon learns the Stone has chosen him as its new bearer to aid Sage on her quest to save a world delving deeper into decay at the hands of a corrupt Imaginist.
The fate of Holdach now rests on his unwilling shoulders, and he must act with the same conviction as his brushstrokes if he wants to survive. Aromel and Sage will have to reckon with questions of fate, love, and sacrifice before it's too late and madness consumes everything they hold dear.
