A collection of four chilling novels, ingeniously wrought gems of terror from the brilliantly imaginative, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fireman, Joe Hill.

"One of America’s finest horror writers" (Time magazine), Joe Hill has been hailed among legendary talents such as Peter Straub, Neil Gaiman, and Jonathan Lethem. In Strange Weather, this "compelling chronicler of human nature’s continual war between good and evil," (Providence Journal-Bulletin) who "pushes genre conventions to new extremes" (New York Times Book Review) deftly expose the darkness that lies just beneath the surface of everyday life.

"Snapshot" is the disturbing story of a Silicon Valley adolescent who finds himself threatened by "The Phoenician," a tattooed thug who possesses a Polaroid Instant Camera that erases memories, snap by snap.

A young man takes to the skies to experience his first parachute jump. . . and winds up a castaway on an impossibly solid cloud, a Prospero’s island of roiling vapor that seems animated by a mind of its own in "Aloft."

On a seemingly ordinary day in Boulder, Colorado, the clouds open up in a downpour of nails—splinters of bright crystal that shred the skin of anyone not safely under cover. "Rain" explores this escalating apocalyptic event, as the deluge of nails spreads out across the country and around the world.

In "Loaded," a mall security guard in a coastal Florida town courageously stops a mass shooting and becomes a hero to the modern gun rights movement. But under the glare of the spotlights, his story begins to unravel, taking his sanity with it. When an out-of-control summer blaze approaches the town, he will reach for the gun again and embark on one last day of reckoning.

Masterfully exploring classic literary themes through the prism of the supernatural, Strange Weather is a stellar collection from an artist who is "quite simply the best horror writer of our generation" (Michael Kortya).

To most, Aetheria is a paradise. What else to call a place where a thought can summon any object into existence?

But not for Meli. She alone is driven by questions no one else understands, and feels imprisoned by the constructs of her world.

When she meets Ariden, a rogue fighter, she sees a way to leave her home and find the answers she seeks. Along with her friend Karis, a genius engineer, the three undertake a journey through warring sky-pirates, giant monsters, and mysterious religious cults.

To succeed, Meli must find a dark, enigmatic entity connected to the secret that binds her and Aetheria.

Emily and Elizabeth spend their childhood locked in a bedroom and terrorized by a mother who drinks too much and disappears for days. The identical twins are rescued by a family determined to be their saviors.

But there’s some horrors love can’t erase…

Elizabeth wakes in a hospital, strapped to her bed and unable to move or speak. The last thing she remembers is finding Emily’s body in their bathroom. Days before, she was falling in love and starting college. Now, she’s surrounded by men who talk to themselves and women who pull out their eyebrows.

As she delves deeper into the mystery surrounding Emily’s death, she discovers shocking secrets and holes in her memory that force her to remember what she’s worked so hard to forget—the beatings, the blood, the special friends. Her life spins out of control at a terrifying speed as she desperately tries to unravel the psychological puzzle of her past before it’s too late.

Phantom Limb is a character-driven mystery that begs to be read in a single setting. The shocking and shattering conclusion will make you go back and read it again.

One hot architect. One naughty schoolteacher. One crazy night that changes everything.

If I had known I'd have a hot architect balls deep inside of me before the end of the weekend, I'd have made time for a pedicure. Also, a little chat about not losing my shit at all the wrong moments.
Hindsight was a bitch, and karma…well, I didn't know her story yet.


Meet Lauren Halsted.
It's all the little things—the action plans, the long-kept promises—that started falling apart when my life slipped into controlled chaos.

After I fell ass-over-elbow into Matthew Walsh's arms.

I couldn't decide whether I wanted to run screaming or rip his pants off, and most days I wanted a little of both. If I was being honest with myself, it was rip his pants off, ride him like a workhorse, and then run screaming.

Meet Matthew Walsh.
A rebellious streak ran through Lauren Halsted. It was fierce and unrelentingly beautiful, and woven through too many good girl layers to count, and she wasn't letting anyone tell her what to do.

Unless, of course, she was naked.

She wasn't looking for me and I sure as shit wasn't looking for her, but we found each other anyway and now we were locked in a battle of wills, waiting for the other to blink.

Sometimes the universe conspires to bring people together. Other times, it throws them down a flight of stairs and leaves them in a bruised and bloodied heap.

You fancy yourself an angel.
Well, darlin'...I'm here to make you into a naughty one.

That's what I do. I make women go crazy.
They're driven insane by desire.
They want to get their hands on my body.
They want to enjoy the fruits of my wealth.

But I don't care about any of that. All I want is you.

I can't get you out of my head.
The way you move your body from side to side.
You tease me. Tempt me.
With your lipstick and lingerie.
Your lace and La Perla.

It's pretty clear what I'm having tonight. Over and over again.

All the odds are stacked against us.
My family. Your friends. Even fate.
None of it matters.
Because we belong together.
There's only one thing you need to know.

You're gonna be an angel around me, baby girl...then you better be ready to get your halo dirty.

This is a 120,000 word epic romance for your enjoyment with a HEA! Enjoy, babes

I am a con man, I don't do relationships, I don't do love. 
I am not a nice guy, I don't wanna be. 
I just do my thing - con rich women, make them fall in love with me, 
And then...I become history for one woman and future for another. 

I've been living this way for the past so many years, 
And loving it too.
Until, Olivia Hart happens to me - again!

I cannot fall in love. 
But I give in. 
Alright, what's wrong with only once... 
I'll keep it purely physical. 
I just want to taste that body... the body she denied me in high school. 

But then, old flames reignite and things start looking up for me. 
Until....
I realize Olivia is the private investigator hired to catch me. 

How did I not see it coming? 
She is conning the con man, 
But what she doesn't know is that 
The story has just begun!

*** This is a full length novel with a happily ever after, no cliffhanger, no cheating, and plenty of steam. ***

In the fastnesses of the Empire was stationed an exclusive regiment of the Hussars known as “The Leopards.”

In the spring of 1900, two handsome young cadets presented themselves for commissions in the Leopards. Both Michael and Tibor were highly eligible; but alas, there was only one vacancy in the Mess.

Colonel Bela is at a loss as to who he should choose and is thoroughly distracted when the eligible Captain Count Sigismund von Scheffan reveals his affections for Bela’s daughter Judith. However quietly confident Judith is not as innocent as she seems and there are other potential suitors whom she has met at various dances...

When Sigismund learns that he has competition Colonel Bela suddenly falls ill, hospitalised by a strange condition which has sent him into a state of delirious confusion.

It was therefore decided to revive an ancient tradition — namely, that the single vacancy would be awarded to the winner of a personal tournament between the two, a tournament in which horsemanship, virility, and a capacity to carry wine were perfectly blended.

A race ensues but the planned course of events is frequently interrupted — two twin sisters demand to be met at the Zoological department of the National Museum, lovers decide to elope and the reputation of Sigismund is well and truly under threat...

From New York Times Bestselling author, Tricia O'Malley, comes a new romance series set on the rocky shores of Ireland.

"They murdered my wife two years ago...
Tonight, you die.
I am Matt, your nightmare!"

On a quiet night like any other, Matt, a successful entrepreneur, returns home to his gorgeous villa, only to find his wife brutally murdered. A soft verdict against the culprits, a gang of violent teenagers, spins Matt's relatively calm and collected demeanor into something far more sinister. In a manic rage, he seeks vengeance for what has been stolen from him, and he lashes out against the weak system. Sleepless, lonely, tormented nights torture him, filling his head and his heart with frustration, hate, and anger, unleashing an entirely different side of the man--a monster even he did not know existed within him. From Berlin to Rome to Paris, the great cities of the world suffer in the wake of his wrath, as brutal, barbaric killings seem to be the only temporary antidote for his fuming, blood-boiling rage. His victims, so easily deprived of life, seem to be the only cure, the only way to soothe his yearning for revenge, or are they?

Back pain! As anyone with a backache will tell you, pain, limited activities, and days missed from work take their toll physically, financially, and emotionally.

A big problem with most back care programs is limited treatment options. Pain medications often mask problems, allowing further damage to occur because warning pain is not felt. Physical therapy is limited by what insurance companies deem necessary, and lastly surgery, a costly option, is often ineffective.

The good news is that yoga therapy can help relieve your pain while at the same time improve flexibility and strength. Yoga is great for healing back pain and at the same time is a practice for your entire mind and body. Most people find they sleep better, their mood improves, and they enjoy an enhanced sense of well-being.

This book features two yoga therapy practices. The first is for acute back problems which means you’re in pain right now. This practice is designed to bring structural balance back into your body and gently stretch key muscles, reducing pain and helping you heal. The second practice is designed to build strength and flexibility which helps prevent future problems.

Also covered:
•How to prevent low back problems in the first place.
•The different types of low back problems and why they occur.
•A first-aid section that shows highly effective natural methods for relieving pain.
•Anatomy of the low back.

The back care program in this book has been developed by a highly experienced yoga instructor and chiropractor working together for over 7 years. It’s been used with thousands of people with back issues and has proven to be successful 93% of the time. With the help of this book you can get back into the activities and lifestyle you enjoy, without drugs or costly treatments, and in the comfort of your home.

She gave me her innocence. I gave her a baby.

As a billionaire, I’m used to getting what I want.
And that night I wanted her.
It was only supposed to be a one night stand.
No names, no numbers, only searing passion and lust.
I took her virginity.
Felt her sweet submission.
I knew she was meant to be mine.
To touch. To command.
But she left before I woke the next morning.
It’s been a year and I find out that she has something that belongs to me.
Lorelei, my daughter.
I will do everything in my power to find her.
Make her mine.
And complete our family.

Will I get my family or is one night all I’ll have forever?

*** This is a full length novel with a happily ever after, no cliffhanger, no cheating, and plenty of steam. ***

When Stephen Fulford vanishes to seek his fortune as a war reporter, he leaves behind a dark suspicion.

A letter has been stolen: a letter that his brother, Thomas, needed for his research, a letter that was worth a great deal of money.

Enough for a man to seek his fortune with, perhaps.

The letter belonged to the British Museum, and when they find it missing they question Thomas.

But Thomas knows that Stephen was the last one to have it, and his dark suspicion works like poison in his blood.

Should he cover for his brother and shoulder the blame himself?

Or come forward, letting the blame fall on Stephen?

And when the beautiful American, Rhoda Comstock, gets involved, Thomas will have to fight not only the evidence but his own jealousy as well.

Set during the Second Boer War, London Roses is about loyalty, and how deep a person’s loyalty truly lies.

‘Brilliant… rivetingly entertaining… a masterly Grimm’s fairy tale for adults. There are enough twists and turns for a dozen ordinary novels.’ - The Daily Telegraph

In the bitter spring of 1948, an Englishman walks across Soviet Germany, against a tide of refugees, searching for the woman he fell in love with before the war…

He will become a lord of the underworld in a country rising from the ashes, where confidence is fast becoming a national trick, and where no one is who they claim to be.

For Richard Thurgo, a man eager to reinvent himself, it is heaven on earth.

Richard is presumed to be dead and buried.

But to be exact, a pair of feet are dead and buried - they alone remained intact, beneath the wreckage of a crashed and burnt-out jeep.

Richard is alive and ready to embrace a new identity.

Faking his own death, Richard adopts a new name and career on the Reeperbahn, Hamburg’s busy red-light district.

As Germany prospers in the fifties and sixties so does Richard, now an influential figure in the underworld, but two threats continue to hang over him — his own discarded identity and that of Germany’s.

Set in England and Germany around the time of the Second World War, Richard’s Feet is a magnificent story of intrigue and obsession. It follows the adventures of an unscrupulous Englishman whose formative experiences in the Germany of the thirties, both erotic and political, draw him back there after the war.

Winner of the 1990 UK Society of Writers’ Encore Award and long-listed for the Booker Prize, Richard’s Feet is the first in the The Heart Beneath Quartet.The second and third books are Cley and Egon.

“A work of near-demonic beauty, antic imagination and universal resonance – in short, the calling card of a major talent.” - The San Francisco Chronicle

‘A darkly comic vision of the new Europe, entirely original. Massive feats of scale and formal ingenuity…what holds the complex structure together, confirming Harrison’s skill in the serious handling of comedy, is the grip exerted by the characters. They grab you and hold on to the end.’ - The Guardian

‘For verbal opulence and elegance of linguistic design, a wondrous thing.’ - The Independent

‘Holds the reader spellbound through his insinuating voice, his exultant love of language and sheer storytelling power. In its surprise twists and turns, this astonishing, affecting, rich novel mirrors the dislocation of our century’ - Publishers Weekly

Something isn't right with Sortilege Falls…

A group of teen models hold the entire town in a trance. But when these beautiful people begin to fall ill from a mysterious disease, new girl Grape is determined to find out what’s really going on.

It’s ‘Riverdale’ meets ‘Narnia’... Welcome to Sortilege Falls.

It gets pretty lonely, spending your entire life in a tower. The Witch told me she was keeping me safe from a dangerous world. But one day, when I let down my hair, the Witch wasn't the one to climb up.

His presence was so overwhelming; his hands steady on my back, his lips and tongue marking me forever with the taste of a man. I was used to being alone a lot of the time, and wandering around the tower sort of aimlessly, trying to decide what to do once the chores were done.

Now his mouth was telling me what to do and oh, it was good.

Prince Dorin of Yirvagna, from the darkling lands, is tall and dark, with horns and a tail...and the first man I've ever seen in my life. He tells me I'm his bonded mate and I must come with him, and if I'm not so sure about this (admittedly charming) prince, the Witch's plans for me are worse. And when Prince Dorin stands in her way, her retaliation is swift. I taste freedom for the first time at the cost of Dorin's eyesight...but can I find a way to lift his curse?

The Fairy Tale Heat series are standalone fairy tale retellings for those who like unabashedly adorable happily ever afters with a side of serious steaminess!

Two troubled rock stars fight for her heart. One girl afraid to love. A beautiful, raw and intense romance series that will leave you begging for more.

People think Chrissie Parker has a picture-perfect life. She leads an opulent lifestyle in Santa Barbara, her father, Jack, is a beloved music icon from the sixties, and she possesses a wealth of musical talent that will certainly lead to a promising future. But behind the façade, everything is far from perfect.

When Chrissie journeys from Santa Barbara to New York City for an audition at Juilliard, romance is the last thing on her mind. She never anticipated encountering British Superstar Alan Manzone, a musician fresh out of Rehab, tormented by his own weakness and troubled past. Alan's life is everything Chrissie's is not; exciting, glitzy, and an all-out train wreck.

Chrissie is soon consumed by Alan's shocking pursuit of her, his dark secrets, and his sexual desires. Will their stormy affair destroy them? Or will their love keep them together for a lifetime?

MATURE CONTENT
This story contains sexually explicit material, mature subject matter, and is intended for individuals over the age of eighteen.

A deadly assassin. A perpetual target. A double-cross she never saw coming…

They say the truth will set you free, but what if it kills you first?

Leine eliminates terrorists for a living. After a routine assassination almost gets her killed, she chalks it up to a fluke. Her lover and fellow assassin, Carlos, has another idea altogether. He thinks their boss is setting them up for a fall.

When Carlos goes missing and a bombing thwarts another mission, Leine suspects the stakes are far higher than she could ever imagine, and wonders if the man in charge might have it in for her after all.

A Killing Truth is the prequel to the award-winning Leine Basso thriller series of crime novels. If you like no-nonsense heroines, page-turning plots, and twists you won’t see coming, then you’ll love D.V. Berkom’s tension-filled series.
