From John Grover:
John Grover is excited to announce the release of his new
horror novel “The
Fetch.”
WAR OF WITCHES
From the author of Creatures and Crypts and Frozen Stiff comes an all new horror.
They are followers of a different path, a way of magic and mystery, of old customs and ancient knowledge. In their world appearances can mean so much but those appearances are not always what they seem.
Isabelle Thicket, a sorceress of the black arts is about to collide with Jacob Norsen, a sorcerer of white magic, and all Hell will break loose. Isabelle will stop at nothing to get what she wants and Jacob will do anything to protect those he loves. Two of the most powerful forces of
nature will clash in a battle to the death and their power will unleash a greater evil...an old, hungering evil that will threaten the world.
There's no safe place to hide from... The Fetch.
Available on Kindle, Nook, Kobo or Paperback.

From Tim Finn:
My story “Vengeance Stirred, Not
on the Rocks” is slated to appear in the Angelic Knight Press anthology Demon
Rum and Other Evil Spirits. I have a piece of flash fiction entitled
“A Winter's Wisp” in the upcoming Strange Musings Press collection Alternate
Hilarities 2: Vampires Suck.
From Vlad Vaslyn:
New Release from Vlad V.
When Pete and
Gary Godfrey stumble upon a skeleton in an ancient burial chamber, their lives
are forever altered. They activate a bizarre crystal cube clasped in the
skeleton's hand, and once its terrifying power has been awakened, things
quickly spiral out of their control. The brothers have put themselves and the
entire city of New York in danger, and soon they fall into the crosshairs of an
NSA agent driven by a shadowy agenda. The deadly implications of their find
could change the course of human history, and they have no choice but to solve
the mystery of the cube before it annihilates them all.
The first in a two-part work, The Button is a
Science Fiction/Thriller that asks if humanity is far older than we've been led
to believe. Was our species more advanced in some distant past? Is there a
conspiracy to hide a secret history from the public? Perhaps the answers lie in
the Godfrey brother's accidental discovery, but they'd better work fast,
because the countdown has begun ...
