Becky and Jamie are an ordinary hard-working couple trapped in the daily grind, dreaming of an easier life. On one of their rare vacations, they meet Phil and Mel, a wealthy couple who seem to have it all—they're fun, well-traveled, and very generous with their money. But they are also very, very dangerous. Phil and Mel are not who they say they are, and this is no random vacation friendship. 

When Special Agent Jonathon Howard gets the call telling him that the notorious serial killer he’s been chasing for five years has been caught, he jumps the nearest flight to Rappaport, North Dakota to bring the man in. But what he finds awaiting him there is not Jeffrey Marks, the serial sexual sadist. It’s Marks’s one remaining victim, Dana Cooper. A victim who, in a bizarre twist of fate, has murdered Marks in a fashion more brutal than anyone can understand or explain.

Daniel Briggs, former Marine sniper and recent vagabond, finds himself in Seattle, Washington. Flinging fish during the day and walking the streets at night, Daniel finally finds a measure of peace he so desperately needs. But peace is the last thing on fate's agenda. Will a new threat plunge Daniel back into the abyss, and once unleashed, will The Beast take over for good?

A drifting Marine. A pastor with a monstrous secret. And a fearless girl about to do what the grown men around her are too afraid to. Daniel Briggs is still running. A Marine sniper with a war in his head and a bottle of Jack as his only steady companion, he's drifting north with no plan but the next train and no reason to wake up but the next sunrise. So when a roadside pastor offers him a hot meal and a quiet room, Daniel takes it—figuring a church farm is as good a place as any to disappear. He should have kept walking.

For most of his life, Dennis Cooper believed the person he had loved the most and would always love above all others was George Miles. In his first novel in 10 years, Dennis Cooper writes about George Miles, love, loss, addiction, suicide, and how fiction can capture these things, and how it fails to capture them. Candid and powerful, I Wished is a radical work of shifting forms.

Marine sniper Daniel Briggs thinks he's got it all figured out. He's faced what he thinks is the worst, and his plan is to tackle Las Vegas like he conquered foreign enemies. But with his sobriety tentative at best and with calamity tripping him up at every turn, how will the battered warrior fair in his hardest test to date?

Randy and Clovis press onward, leveling up, forging rivalries, deciphering the tower's secrets, and plunging headfirst into exhilarating escapades at every turn. The third realm, however, poses an unprecedented challenge—a fantastical reimagining of Paris, teeming with formidable bears.

My name is Randy; the noun, not the adjective. Actually, I've been informed that my name is a pronoun. But that part doesn't matter at the moment. Somehow, we did it. Clovis and I survived the first floor of the tower. We were nearly killed in the process, yet we were able to class, make a few enemies, learn more about the mechanics of Genera, and have a hell of a time in doing it. The only problem is, we need a strategy. We need to get better and improve our stats. The first floor was tough. But the second floor of the tower looks to be twice as difficult....

My name is Randy—the noun, not the adjective. As a professional writer and accidental barbarian, I should be a prime candidate to be portaled to a LitRPG fantasy world known as Genera. It should be a no-brainer for me to grab the nearest weapon and start slaying bloodthirsty goblins, gaining levels, solving puzzles, and fighting my way to the top of a mysterious tower with seven distinct floors. Technically, I was born for this. Or so I thought. Unlike actual video games, if someone dies here in Genera, they die here for good. And I don't want to die.

Daniel Briggs is a ghost in his own life. A Marine sniper haunted by a brother who died screaming his name, he's been drifting across the country one bus and one bottle at a time — running from a war that won't let go, and from the two words that chase him into every blackout: your fault. He never meant to wake up in Defuniak Springs, Florida. He sure as hell never meant to break a man's nose defending a terrified waitress.

Two Brother In-Laws dive into the world of literature and review books with quality and content in mind.

Whether they are undeniably heroes and heroines or bloodthirsty monsters (or something in between), the undead are a lively lot. This anthology offers some of the best short fiction ever written by the "blood sisters" who know them best: stories you can really sink your teeth into.

SEA STORIES tells the entire tale. You will find excerpts of some of the most famous nautical stories of all time. Most of us have passed through a period of life during which we have ardently longed to be, if not actually a rover, a buccaneer, or a pirate, at least and really a sailor!

I cannot stand Bennet Montgomery. His rugged hotness knows no bounds, and his unwavering cheery disposition is maddening. How can someone be that happy all the time? His smile infuriates me. I need to keep my distance from this man and all his Midwest charm. I have my camboy career to focus on, and I can't afford to get attached or bogged down with his nonsense. When Bennet receives devastating news about his mother, his grief consumes him. I don't know what to make of this new sad side of Bennet.

In the hills of western North Carolina in the late 1970s, a secret was born that would spread its terror through the lives of many. For friends Anne, Joan, and Meg that secret would mean a life locked away in a haze, death, and questions that would go unanswered. As the women, all on the verge of giving birth, wonder what the future holds for their children, the machinations of others will prove more powerful than even a mother's love. In the present day, the secrets of the past can have consequences and Inga Parr is soon going to find that out.
