Socks by Tom Duffy Available January 5

Author: Tom Duffy

From the author of Zodiac and Panicus Satanicus

Chris is afraid.

He’s afraid of the wave pool at the water park, the bullies constantly after him, and his mom finding the pile of cum socks under his bed. But high school is starting, and that’s what scares him the most.

When Chris sits next to Andy, the new girl in town, he didn’t expect to make a new friend. And after Andy stands up to Chris’s long-time bully, they become inseparable.

During a late-night masturbation session with his favorite sock, Chris accidentally summons a demon, an evil entity capable of animating his socks and using them for its nightmarish goal.

The socks are alive, hungry, and will let nothing stop them from tearing everything apart.

Chris and Andy find themselves in a gross fight against mutant cum socks, and a battle with their own demons. There’s only one way for them to beat both: face their fears–and try not to touch anything.

New World, New Rules (Marionette Zombie Series Book 17) by S.B. Poe Available January 5

Author: S.B. Poe

The day the world ends starts just like every other day.

The double door was closed but the two arched windows on either side of the steps were broken out. The windows extended almost all the way to the ground. Scott climbed off his horse and Ham climbed off Cheval. They both grabbed their spears from the straps on their saddles and slowly approached the opening. Ham pulled out the flashlight.

“Careful.” Jahda called.

Ham shined the light into the darkness. Rows of benches lined either side of a central pathway to a raised platform. Nothing moved. She tapped the flashlight against the side of the window. Nothing moved. She tapped again. Nothing.

“Let’s open the door. I don’t think we can crawl through right here.” Scott said.

They moved around and up the steps to the door. Scott grabbed the handle and it gave way. The door swung open. He pushed the other one but it didn’t move. He looked just inside and found the latch holding it at the top. He slid it down and opened it. The light flooded halfway into the sanctuary. The wooden floor was slick with mildew and the smell of animal feces filled the air. She swept the flashlight across the room as they stepped just inside the entrance.

The pews were swollen and misshaped from the moisture that dripped from the leaking roof. A large puddle gathered on the floor just in front of the pulpit. An old pipe organ sat in the corner. The pipes leaned and twisted as the organ suffered from the same saturation as the pews. Everything felt moldy. She shined the light up. Nests were built in the rafters and she could see pinpricks of light where the water came in. It had been almost a week since the last rain but water still dripped from the crossbeams.

“There’s nothing here.” Ham said.

“Did you think there would be?” Scott asked.

“No, I just wanted to see what it looked like.” She said. “Now I’ve seen.”

She turned and walked back down the steps. Scott joined her. The unmistakable sound of a deadun, that hissing growl, came from the side of the building.

Do the walls truly hear and see all?

Ian Hurstall jumped at the chance to further his career and moved his family from Chelsea, London, to a beautiful historic mansion on St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans. Little did he, his wife, Laura, or their eight-year-old daughter, Devon, know there was already a resident in the home and had been for over a hundred and fifty years. Sebastian watched as the new family took up residence. They weren’t the usual ho-hum owners this time. Much to his surprise, Devon captured his heart with her sassy, precocious, and adorable ways. Finding great delight in her feisty disposition and unyielding opinions, he was drawn closer day by day into the lives of the new occupants.

Devon was exquisite with long mahogany locks, sparkling violet, and a rosy smile that turned up like a bow. Her preposterous antics and determined ideas sparked a sense of life into the eternally bound predicament of his essence. There hadn’t been a soul to gather his attention before the curious Miss Devon Hurstall. The years spun on the clock, and before he knew it, the once entertaining child had blossomed into an exceptionally beautiful young woman.

Sebastian observed as life threw slings and arrows, piercing his treasure’s heart. Compelled to soothe her sadness, he penned a letter to her, thus beginning a breach between life and death. His sweet adoration slowly developed into an unholy obsession. Upon a freak accident, Devon became aware of his essence, turning the tide of things to come and opening doors that should have remained closed, creating The Presence Between.

The Dancing Tree (Relict Saga Book 1) by J.A. Skald Available January 3

Author: J.A. Skald

Look – It wasn’t supposed to go like this, alright?

Humans were trouble.

Life as a monster hunter had beaten that lesson into Sebastian often enough. But just because people said Relicts were heartless monsters, it didn’t actually make him one.

Would’ve saved him a whole heap of trouble if it did.

Not like Sebastian ever asked to become a Relict. Monster hunters turned half-monsters themselves, always traveling town to town to earn their keep, fighting with terrors and townsfolk alike until it’s time to race back for their Orders before Mistide falls.

It’s not a life anyone would want. Not that anyone ever asked him — he was sold into the life as a child to save his father’s sorry skin.

When Ryndalon stumbles into his life, well – it turns out this isn’t even the first time the bard’s gone and made Sebastian’s life hell.

Or that it’s the end of his secrets…

Rule one making Deals with the fae? DON’T.
