Beware the voices in the mist. Their promises are lies. On a research trip to Alaska, Maya Adler has no business investigating a mysterious ghost ship, but she’s not the kind of person who listens to reasonable advice and one of her best friends is a paranormal detective after all.

Von Wut getrieben und vom Gin in ihrer Entscheidungsfähigkeit beeinträchtigt, geht Patricia an Bord des schönsten Luxuskreuzfahrtschiffs der Welt, um diese drei Monate lang zu bereisen ... und wacht aus diesem Traum auf, als sie in einen dreißig Jahre alten Juwelendiebstahl verwickelt wird. Weniger als vierundzwanzig Stunden nach dem Auslaufen wird sie des Mordes beschuldigt und in ihrer Kabine eingesperrt.

But does everyone want him poking his nose in their business? Curious about the possibility of alien abductions, Edgar soon questions if there might not be something far mor sinister at play. Something far more … human.

Investigate weird goings on for a living? What kind of nutbag would do that? Well, the kind with bills to pay, actually. In the quiet seclusion of the Appalachia mountains, something evil stirs. Home to generations of witches, the entire region knows the lore, and everyone knows someone with at least a suggestion of the supernatural in their family.

Who would call if your family were not the only ones occupying your house? The cops? Sure. But you already know the ‘thing’ living with you isn’t bound by mortal laws. August Watson specialises in all things spooky and weird; it’s his niche in the P.I. market, but this case might just be a little too far into left field even for him. But how can he turn down a family in distress? Too terrified to return to their home and convinced their little girl has been possessed by a demonic entity, they beg for his help. He’s faced his past. He’s faced his demons. Now it’s time he faced the truth.

Zachary has the shield of God. Anastasia wants it. Need I say more? Immortal werewolf meets … well, whatever Anastasia is, head on. It’s about to get brutal.

The death curse has fallen. The demons and angels have invaded the Earth. They plan to rule over humanity, but which side will win and can the people of Earth do anything to stop them? Beelzebub and the demons are too powerful to be stopped. Godfrey and the angels have an ancient weapon that can kill with a thought. The humans have pluck. Um, that might not get it done.

‘Real women don’t wear chainmail miniskirts or leather pants to a fight. Steve doesn’t waste your time on sex, he gives you story, and there’s a whole ton of it in each and every book.’ Can you keep a secret? What if it is something really terrible? A quiet town in the American Midwest is about to be rocked to its core. As three young sisters come to terms with what they are – being a witch is a real problem in a churchgoing, God-fearing family — a new neighbour with a mysterious past hints at trouble to come.

Otto Schneider isn’t the kind of guy who bothers to seek permission. The demons have withdrawn from the mortal realm, the attacks have ceased, but while humanity dares to hope they may have gone for good, the irascible German wizard knows better. In the face of overwhelming odds, he’s going to do the dumbest thing possible … attack. Otto is taking the fight to the demons and he’s not going alone. It’s a stupid strategy, yet he has faith that it will work. However there is a player missing from the board. Where is Anastasia?

Hidden in the seclusion of the Appalachian Mountains, the remote settlements are perfect targets for those who wish to prey on the weak … the human. Hired to investigate a mysterious bloodletting case, everything indicates Edgar is dealing with a clan of mobile vampires. He can’t take the case though, his ordeal with the cult has left him close to bedridden, but that’s not the case for close friend and secret crush, Poppy. Poppy is drawn to weird stuff, so when Edgar foolishly tells her she is not to get involved, she predictably does the opposite. But does Poppy know what she is getting into?

Someone is resurrecting the dead. That’s what Edgar’s client claims. Way up in the Appalachian Mountains, far from what most folks would call civilisation, a remote community has a new preacher with some rather disturbing skills. Worse yet, his followers act more like a cult, their belief in the man behind the miracles dangerously unshakable. Edgar’s job is to rescue his client’s sister, a woman swept up in the worrying fervour surrounding the enigmatic priest, but trying to disprove a resurrection quickly becomes a fight for his life when the locals begin to understand his motives.

The unexplainable appearance of a huge monolith in a field might be nothing to get excited about, but add in a local man raving about ghostly, glowing, inhuman figures in the woods, and now it’s a mystery that ticks all Edgar Corey’s boxes. He wants to prove his worth to the man who hired him, and with business slow, this case is just what he needs to attract some interest. His snooping, however, is not welcomed by all.
