The Wasteland has fallen, the Prince is dead. Smiley has opened The Black Gate. The apocalypse spreads, overcoming more and more worlds.

In the Third Book of Thrice Dead four stories weave together to tell the tale of those heading towards Nekyia—The City of Lost Souls.

Story one: In ‘The Circle’, a desert of lies and illusions, a prophet, a cripple and a lycanthrope must come together to fight the Lord of Illusion, Yin. But even if they free themselves, to what other reality will they be borne?

Story two: Back on Earth in 2061, Facility 2-13 has gone into meltdown, threatening to release the hordes of mutants upon the Earth. They will wreak untold death and destruction if no one can hold them in check. The cause and the solution may ultimately lead us to only one place…

Story three: Before there was the Wasteland, people were disappearing from the streets of London. Cris’s wife is one of them. If he wants her back he must play a sick game with the Taking Man. But who this sick player of dark games is, and where Cris’s wife has been taken, are answers to questions that this world might not be able to provide…

And in story four, our universes collide in Nekyia, The City of Lost Souls, and one who was thought dead will rise.

Horsemen of the Apocalypse is the third epic instalment of The Book of Thrice Dead. A six part multiverse apocalypse, uniquely blending of science fiction, fantasy and horror. Think King’s Dark Tower meets Clive Barker’s The Great and Secret Show.

The Horned God : Weird Tales of the Great God Pan by Michael Wheatley Available March 1

February 20, 2023 4 Evil Eyes

Author: Michael Wheatley

Many writers in the early twentieth century particularly were fascinated by Pan as a figure of unbridled vivacity and pagan ecstasy, but also associated the god and folk hero with a sense of danger and even horror. The pipe music shrilled suddenly around her, seeming to come from the bushes at her very feet, and at the same moment the great beast slewed round and bore directly down upon her.

In 1894, Arthur Machen’s landmark novella The Great God Pan was published, sparking a resurgence of literary fascination with the figure of the pagan goat god.

Tales from a broad spectrum of writers from E M Forster to prolific pulpsters such as Greye Le Spina took the god’s rebellious and chaotic influence as their subject, spinning beguiling tales of society turned upside down and the forces of nature compelling protagonists to ecstatic heights or bizarre dooms.

Selecting an eclectic cross-section of tales and short poems from this boom of Pan-centric literature, many first published in the influential Weird Tales magazine, this new collection examines the roots of a cultural phenomenon and showcases Pan’s potential to introduce themes of queer awakening and celebrations of the transgressive into the thrillingly weird stories in which he was invoked.

When you’ve been blessed by an Elemental God, you get picked or you die.

And there is no chance Ja’al of Enwara, the last unmarried prince, picks me, Elyn of the middle of nowhere. Not when I’ve been marked by the God of Darkness, AKA the Ruiner of Stars. AKA the Mother of Death.

Escaping is soon out of the question as the hot high priest won’t take his eyes off me. In charge of leading me and the other two Elemental brides to be presented to the prince, I have felt his gaze since the ceremony, when the Elemental God chose me. But as much interest as he is showing, he will also be the one putting the knife to my throat when the time comes.

All I have left is my wit, and my wit is not cooperating. If I don’t find a solution soon, at least two of our heads will crown the sacrificial altar before the day ends. Can I even make a man as conceited as the fifth imperial prince listen long enough to buy my way out of dying?

Classic Ghost Stories : Spooky Tales from Charles Dickens, H.G. Wells, M.R. James and many more by Various Available March 1

February 20, 2023 4 Evil Eyes

Author: Various

As the winter nights draw in and you settle in front of a cozy fire, it’s the perfect time for a dash of fear…spine-chillers from Charles Dickens, H.G. Wells, Edith Wharton and many more.

Do you believe in ghosts? Not monsters, not floating objects or unexplained coincidences, but an actual presence – a flicker in the corner of the eye, a shadow in a darkened hallway, a hand pressed against the window, or a figure at the end of the bed. Sometimes they are a malevolent warning, or they come seeking revenge, or as a horrible reminder of past misdeeds. But ghosts can visit on the brightest summer’s day, or on a lonely stretch of beach, making themselves felt just when you least expect it.

The great writers of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, from Elizabeth Gaskell to Rudyard Kipling, also produced some of the most influential ghost stories ever written, shaping the conventions of the genre for generations of writers to follow. Collected here are some of the most iconic of these Victorian ghost stories, from Charles Dickens’s The Signalman to M.R. James’s A Warning to the Curious, alongside more unexpected contributions from masters of the form such as J.S. Le Fanu and H.G. Wells. You may think you don’t believe in ghosts, but these stories will haunt you nonetheless.

A wounded king. An empire at risk. A vengeful god awakened.

Weary and scarred from the Burdikesh hordes, Jael and Pyx join the assault on Ruan, a subterranean metropolis of religious fanatics. Subduing the rebels will be difficult. Buried beneath the freezing Northern Mountains, a maze of defences, fearsome warriors, and giant war-spiders await the beast hunter and his protégé. And for Pyx, childhood memories will rise, driving a need for revenge that risks her very life.

Above ground, the king lies in a spell-induced coma, mortally wounded. Even with her father poised to cross Death’s Bridge, Princess Larika’s ascension to the throne is far from guaranteed. The traitorous Lord Revarc threatens civil war, while the mage, Pollux, creates a weapon of terror that imperils the balance of man and nature.

But such problems will become trivial. For beneath the mountain, an arachnid god wakens. A god with a lust for blood and terror. A god who would see the empire burn.

That’s how I ended up here, being carted off to Elvespith, the major city of the Fae kingdom, to have an audience with the king, but little do I know he already had plans for me.

He tried to convince me to enter something called the Champion Trials. A set of deadly feats in which the magic of the land tests your mind, heart and soul.

When Two Worlds Collide by Joan B Pritchard Available February 28

February 20, 2023 4 Evil Eyes

Author: Joan B Pritchard

These stories will grab your attention until the end of each tale. The characters may be different, but at some point, their lives cross into a parallel world.

The twists and turns of fate guide the reader into a world of ghosts and goblins, where murderers lie in wait for the unsuspecting. You’ll never know what’s to come, and that’s just how the author likes it.

There’s coach trippers, who die one by one – by why and by whose hand?

A killer strikes at a Harry Potter exhibition in Oxford: Druids challenge Druids, and the Green Man himself appears in their midst: a group of friends die in horrific circumstances, and a toy figure is always found lying by the victim – perhaps the names Scarlet, Mustard, Plum seem familiar: a ventriloquist’s dummy is not at all what he seems and a dead and buried girl just won’t die, until she catches her murderer.

Of course, there’s normal people too, who bring humour and pathos into the tales – well, there’d have to be, wouldn’t there, or you’d never believe what you’re reading or hearing! It’s all part of the magic of mystery – and you’re the magician, who gets to unlocks it.
