Edgar Allan Poe: Selected Short Stories by Edgar Allan Poe Available April 30

April 27, 2022 4 Evil Eyes

Author: Edgar Allan Poe

One of America’s most influential writers, Edgar Allan Poe belongs to the ages. His first work, Tamerlane and Other Poems, was published in 1827. And today, almost two centuries later, he remains just as relevant. With an uncanny ability to reflect in the atmosphere that which takes place in the mind, Poe never disappoints. A thoughtfully curated collection of some of his best short stories, this book will leave you asking for more. The Cask of Amontillado explores the psychology of a twisted mind driven by revenge, while in The Black Cat and The Tell Tale Heart, Poe warns that a guilty conscience can drive you insane. Set in a fictional country, The Masque of the Red Death reveals why death has long been called the great equalizer. Where The Eight Chained Ourang Outangs shows you how to plot the perfect revenge, in Some Words with a Mummy, Poe experiments with satire. In one of his shortest known stories, The Oval Portrait, he reflects on the relationship between life and art. The Pit and The Pendulum is a tale of terror, suspense, desperation, and survival, while The Fall of the House of Usher is a story that will keep you awake.

The Cross-Realm Bargain (Shadow World Temptations Book 2) by Rose Wildewood Available April 30

April 27, 2022 4 Evil Eyes

Author: Rose Wildewood

The little vampiress who fell in love…

At the tender age of sixteen, Karis Cross found her mate on the bank of the Seine. Striking a deal, she agreed to leave her life in Paris behind for four short weeks.

The fae king who broke her heart…

New to the throne and seeking approval, Ettrian Leorie lured the young female back to his home, making promises he couldn’t keep.

A broken bargain, a useless amulet, and unresolved feelings…

Now older and wiser, the last thing Karis expected was for her mate to still be pursuing her after all this time, nor did she expect the resurgence of her feelings upon meeting him once again. There were rules that she’d broken, things she’d have to atone for. It is for that reason only that she agrees to a second bargain: Two weeks in the fae realm. Two in New York City.

It should have been simple. A way to get Leorie off her back forever. But as their time passes together and they get to know one another again through forced proximity, Karis can’t stop the unwilling desire that rises within her with every glance at her stoic mate. With numerous threats on the horizon, it seems impossible to believe that they could be together. That they could best the odds that stack against them. Karis has to wonder, would it be easier on her heart to break their deal once again? Or is it possible that Ettrian, the cold and uncaring male she’d come to care so deeply for, could be worth the pain?

The Cross Realm Bargain is the second installment in the Shadow World Temptations series, and features sexy immortals, dark elements, and plenty of steam. Each book can be read as a stand-alone story taking place in the same universe, but the world is richer if you read them in order.

My life was taken from me. My world turned inside out. I lost everything. My family. My friends. My mind.

I have no idea who I am. People keep telling me I’m someone I’m not. But something isn’t adding up, I just can’t put my finger on what it is. All I know right now is the demons are my allies and the angels are my enemies.

But I just can’t shake the feeling that I’m forgetting something. Something really important.

When I figure it out though, Heaven help those who put me in this position, because Hell hath no fury like a woman lied to.

——

The demons are pissed we took their stronghold. But they deserved it.

Taking back the stronghold? That was just the beginning. I was going to wipe the renegade pricks out for what they took from me.

They better watch their backs, because we were coming.

April 27, 2022 4 Evil Eyes

Author: Ernie J. Sinclair

Book two of this exciting new series is filled with fast-paced action, zombie carnage, and the evils that men do when there is no law… Except Murphy’s Law!

Murphy’s Law: If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong and at the worst possible moment. Truer words have never been spoken about Dillon Winters and his brother, Zach, who are doing their best to carve out a new life for themselves on the plains of west-central Kansas. After barely escaping with their lives while fleeing the horrors of Dallas, TX, they are forging ahead as they undertake a mission to unite others in a common goal: survival.

As their small community grows, so do the problems. The infected remain a constant danger, but the brothers soon realize the much deadlier enemy is actually the human survivors who are only out for themselves.

Dillon grows closer to Sara, a fellow survivor and divorcée from an abusive marriage, while her ex-husband’s anger grows at their burgeoning relationship.

Tensions rise when a woman’s body is discovered hanging from a rope in the middle of the compound. Was it suicide or murder? Not sure who he can trust, Dillon searches for the truth while battling gangs, the infected, and the evil within their own walls.

On top of everything else, a scavenging mission goes horribly wrong as Murphy’s Law collides with them at every turn and threatens to take Zach away. With most of his family already dead, missing, or infected, Dillon is willing to fight his way to Hell and back to save his brother’s life.

Through it all, Dillon must battle his internal demons as he continues to struggle with his daughter’s death and the strange nightmares that are becoming more and more frequent.

Born in Blood (Vampire Queens Book 1) by Rachel L. Stedman Available April 30

Author: Rachel L. Stedman

Many vamps live ordinary lives, working as nurses, lorry drivers, teachers. But there is another group; the ones the stories are about. The dragons, the clan-leaders. Dragons are the reason we need the Houses; the reason Hunters exist.

My name is Madison, and I am a vampire hunter.

I’m deadly, fast and totally independent. I don’t need anyone’s help, least of all Brett O’Hagan’s. Sure, he’s good looking, and able to handle himself in a fight, but the last thing I need in my life is another complication. Although, when on business in Europe, I surprise a vamp attack on schoolgirls, Brett proves to be surprisingly useful.

Okay, so I’m grateful. Whatever. I’m not falling for him, oh no.

I have enough to do. My grandmother’s growing irritable (and since she’s a vampire, that’s a problem), plus Harry, my mentor, coach and father figure, has disappeared. And if that’s not enough, there’s trouble in the Hunter Houses, and rumors of a renegade dragon named Kade.

But Brett is amazingly good with his hands. In all the right ways.

What if eating the walking dead was the only way to ensure you don’t become one? If you ingest the meat of the dead, you can avoid that fate. But if you consume too much, it becomes a highly addictive drug, transforming those who are addicted into meatheads-emaciated junkies only focused on getting their next fix.

Paco’s family is dead, and he is alone … until his dead little sister Sophia speaks. But the dead can’t talk, can’t think. Paco decides Sophia is special and takes her to the city to find a doctor who can help her and figure out what’s making her so … alive. But Paco and Sophia quickly find out the city isn’t safe … and they are the only children there.
