The cabbie only remembers taking a break, pulling over in an alley to catch both his breath and the sunrise. His windshield shatters, and two people dash away. He tries to scream, to move, but his neck won't turn. He can only stare at the cab's dirty ceiling. Finally, a deliveryman calls the cops. Surely, they'll arrive soon, but we're pinned in place right along with him as he tries to puzzle it all out.

In this second installment of the CSAP novella series, award-winning author L. Marie Wood uses her descriptive powers to bring us fully into one incident in a person's life, and hold us there, transfixed, until we see it all, crystal clear.

Welcome to the Dark.
 
We are all familiar with tropes of the horror genre: slasher and victims, demon and the possessed. Bloody screams, haunted visions, and the peddler of wares we aren’t sure we can trust. In this young adult horror anthology, fans of Jordan Peele, Lovecraft Country, and Horror Noire will get a little bit of everything they love—and a lot of what they fear—through a twisted blend of horror lenses, from the thoughtful to the terrifying.
 
From haunted, hungry Victorian mansions, temporal monster–infested asylums, and ravaging zombie apocalypses, to southern gothic hoodoo practitioners and cursed patriarchs in search of Black Excellence, All These Sunken Souls features the chilling creations of acclaimed bestsellers and hot new talents.

As Simone Parker’s belly swells with baby number three, she is anxious to move her husband and two daughters to her childhood home in the picturesque town of Black Water, even if it was the site of her family’s massacre twenty-three years ago. Resettling there won’t be easy, but she is determined to break generational curses and reclaim her good memories. While dismissing the adolescent, town legend that her family was murdered by the Sandman, Simone cannot deny that some unsettling haunt remains. As the evil builds to a peak marked by the brutal birth of her son, Simone is forced to realize that the monster is real and has returned. She must face him or lose her children to his eternal sleep.

Hush little baby, don’t you cry. Here comes the Sandman close … your …eyes.

To the Moon and Back is the third installment in the Black Water Tales psychological horror series. If you hunger for things that go bump in the night, ghastly monsters and thrilling plot twists, then you’ll love this unique tale of terror.

Grab To the Moon and Back and descend into the madness of this series today.

Fire… It was the common denominator…
Jeremiah was a pyromaniac, fascinated by fire. Jeremiah’s father? Died by the hands of the heated flame. Jeremiah’s mother? Suspected of igniting the blaze that killed his father. Trent Morrison III and Holly Jefferson had a son. That son was Jeremiah…
Their son was not formed in love. His existence was a constant reminder of betrayal, revenge, and deceit. Brutality birthed Jeremiah into the world; a world he desired to set ablaze.
Fans of the Twisted Sister Series will have their passions reawakened when reading, BLAZE, the 7th installment in the Chloe Daniels Mysteries.

Acclaimed for seven novels, ranging from supernatural thrillers to historical fiction, which have garnered her a multitude of fans and awards, Tananarive Due now imagines the story of an ancient group of immortals -- a hidden African clan that has survived for more than a thousand years -- facing one of the most challenging issues of our time: the AIDS/HIV pandemic.

There's a new drug on the street: Glow. Said to heal almost any illness, it is distributed by an Underground Railroad of drug peddlers. But what gives Glow its power? Its main ingredient is blood -- the blood of immortals. A small but powerful colony of immortals is distributing the blood, slowly wiping out the AIDS epidemic and other diseases around the world.

Meet Fana Wolde, seventeen years old, the only immortal born with the Living Blood. She can read minds, and her injuries heal immediately. When her best friend, a mortal, is imprisoned by Fana's family, Fana helps her escape -- and together they run away from Fana's protected home in Washington State to join the Underground Railroad.

But Fana has more than her parents to worry about: Glow peddlers are being murdered by a violent, hundred-year-old sect with ties to the Vatican. Now, when Fana is most vulnerable, she is being hunted to fulfill an ancient blood prophecy that could lead to countless deaths.

Sometimes history can't stay in the past.

Paul and Theresa Simmons, a young African American couple, are the new owners of a former plantation in Maryland and feel proud to have taken back some of the lands that Africans and Blacks were enslaved on. Theresa is pregnant with their first child and everything is falling into place.

Theresa soon begins hearing and seeing strange things she can't explain - and they are taking their toll on the health of her and her unborn child. Paul wants to sell the house and save his wife's life. Theresa wants to dig deeper into the past of the former plantation because she knows the answer to what is happening lies in the history of the old home. The more she digs, the more conflicts she has with her husband, her mother, and the apparition itself. 

This turf war has gone on for centuries, but now it's time for the showdown. Family secrets will be revealed. Wrongs will be righted. Reparations will be made. 

This is Blood Land.

Toddlers and playdates and white picket fences. Afternoons in the park, steak on the grill—all in the perfect neighborhood. Gabby was living a life that many people could only wish for and she was over it. It wasn't that she disliked her world—it wasn't that at all...she loved her family and the life that she and her husband had made. She just wanted more— more action, more stimulation, more excitement. Gabby was bored. But while she spent her days washing sand out of hair and making PB&J sandwiches, a battle was going on in The Realm, a cosmic tug of war over the most inimitable of prizes: Gabby's very soul.

From bestselling author Bethany C. Morrow comes a new adult social horror novel in the vein of Get Out meets My Sister, the Serial Killer, about Farrah, a young, calculating Black girl who manipulates her way into the lives of her Black best friend’s white, wealthy, adoptive family but soon suspects she may not be the only one with ulterior motives. . . .

Seventeen-year-old Farrah Turner is one of two Black girls in her country club community, and the only one with Black parents. Her best friend, Cherish Whitman, adopted by a white, wealthy family, is something Farrah likes to call WGS—White Girl Spoiled. With Brianne and Jerry Whitman as parents, Cherish is given the kind of adoration and coddling that even upper-class Black parents can’t seem to afford—and it creates a dissonance in her best friend that Farrah can exploit. When her own family is unexpectedly confronted with foreclosure, the calculating Farrah is determined to reassert the control she’s convinced she’s always had over her life by staying with Cherish, the only person she loves—even when she hates her.

As troubled Farrah manipulates her way further into the Whitman family, the longer she stays, the more her own parents suggest that something is wrong in the Whitman house. She might trust them—if they didn’t think something was wrong with Farrah, too. When strange things start happening at the Whitman household—debilitating illnesses, upsetting fever dreams, an inexplicable tension with Cherish’s hotheaded boyfriend, and a mysterious journal that seems to keep track of what is happening to Farrah—it’s nothing she can’t handle. But soon everything begins to unravel when the Whitmans invite Farrah closer, and it’s anyone’s guess who is really in control.

Told in Farrah’s chilling, unforgettable voice and weaving in searing commentary on race and class, this slow-burn social horror will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page.

A man, haunted by a family curse, is taken beyond his sanity limits to a realm where he has no control over his actions or fear. James Adams lived a run-of-the-mill everyday life in a New York suburb before the demons dwelling within him awoke from their slumber to reveal unspeakable horror and prophesize his future destiny. Crescendo is a novel about fate and the lengths we will travel to avoid the inevitable. Set in tranquil Rockland County, New York, this tale of suspense and horror will take its reader on an emotional roller coaster of anger, anxiety, compassion, and indelible fear.

Murder is not always intentional, but it’s still considered murder. Shane Budrow was out for a good time, doing something he loved, racing his 2017 candy apple red mustang. The countdown was on. The ticker showed red, then yellow, and everything paused. For Shane all background noise ceased; the crowd faded into midnight blackness and his opponent wilted into nothingness. But one moment of braggadocios behavior would change the fate of Shane Budrow and his arch rival, James Summers, forever. The question on everyone’s lips was whether the death of one of the young racers truly an accident, or was there something more?

In the midst of this, he falls in love with Feyrah, a fairy nymph, whose colony is destroyed by the very evil Hezekiah is trying to obliterate, but will Feyrah destroy him first?

What happens when an unprecedented infection sweeps the world, leaving the earth on the brink of the Apocalypse?

But this infection goes far beyond disease. Beyond even the nightmare images of walking dead or flesh-eating ghouls. The infected are turning into creatures unlike anything ever dreamed of . . . more complex, more mysterious, and more deadly.

Trapped in the northwestern United States as winter begins to fall, Terry and Kendra have only one choice: they and their friends must cross a thousand miles of no-man’s-land in a rickety school bus, battling ravenous hordes, human raiders, and their own fears.
