The Sorrowsmith by Andy Monk Available April 16

Author: Andy Monk

My name is Beatrice Clay.

Part of me died during the first world war. Most of the rest died during the second.

This is the story of that life.

It is not the life I would have chosen, but it is the life my choices made for me.

I lived most of it in a cottage by the sea. I told myself I was its prisoner because it was easier to believe the sea isolated me from the world rather than the husband who took my fear, weakness, and love and made chains from them to bind me to him for his own dark purpose.

I told myself the things I almost saw out of the corner of my eye could not be real, that the night’s malevolent whispers were just my own sorrows and insecurities giving voice to the sea, the wind and the creaks and sighs of an old, salt-scoured house.

Our home was not haunted. No monster stalked the shadows. No phantoms taunted me.

I convinced myself my children were safe. They were happy here, and I could endure anything, even my husband’s strangeness and cruelties, for them. Because they were all I had, and I could not leave the prison my husband made for us.

It was far better to question my sanity than to believe they were in danger from things that could not be real.

Even after something took my baby from me…

Dark Fairytales : Quick Bites Chapbooks by Leanbh Pearson Available April 16

Author: Leanbh Pearson

We’ve all read fairytales as children – swooning princesses cast under spells by evil witches, unwary bargains made the Fae beings, mermaids longing to be human and experience true love, and the evil stepmother who tries to kill her stepdaughter out of jealousy.

Snow White is a story of royal intrigue, attempted murderer and revenge.

The Black Blade Trilogy : A Trans Pyromancer’s Awakening by Alexander Charalambides Available April 16

Author: Alexander Charalambides

You’ll love this dark but compelling set of fantasy tales filled with magic and adventure.

The Black Blade Trilogy is a darkly imaginative, contemporary fantasy as well as a fun read for anyone who’s ever had that fish-out-of-water feeling or been in the wrong place at the wrong time. With firm roots in the story of King Arthur and the legendary sword Excalibur, the story draws on elements of celtic myth to spur the hero on, or as one reviewer of Black Blade puts it “Black Blade is a well written story and has everything from action to paranormal and was very enjoyable to read.” – Bookbub Reviewer Joannee828

A novel is more than the story within it. The way the story is told is important too.

Using various points of view as well as the present tense, Alexander Charalambides takes his readers inside the main characters as the action happens; you’ll feel like you’re right there with American teens Lance and Megan, experiencing the magic and danger first hand as our college student heroes set off on a forbidden quest lead by three elderly and eccentric wizards.

The story is fast-paced and exciting, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing, all the way through short stories featuring the wizards in their youth through to the three full-length novels and one, never before seen novella, Merlin’s Quest, written especially for this collection.

In sixteenth century England, fear of witchcraft abounds. But witches are not the only source of evil, as Dr William Gilbert will discover …

When Dr William Gilbert is caught in an Essex snowstorm, his life is saved by a strange, wolf-like dog. Taken in by the family that owns the animal, he is nursed back to health in an eerie, isolated building with a terrible history, where the cries of a child echo through the corridors at night.

Having recovered, William is pleased to leave the Old Priory, but equally grateful to the husband, wife and daughter that saved him. So, when the women are accused of witchcraft and seem certain to be burned, he feels duty-bound to help them, despite the dire warnings of his father.

To the people of sixteenth-century Essex, witches are everywhere and to associate with them is destruction.

Nevertheless, William is driven to seek justice for his saviours, and as he delves into the case, discovers there is evil at play, of a type far worse than any invented tale of witchcraft. But can he prove that before the next victim dies and the innocent burn?
