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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Love is a weapon. . .

Evangeline is used to being sought after. As a star, her power is a deeply coveted prize, but when she finds herself in yet another dungeon, she’s starting to wonder if she’s destined to a life of imprisonment. She only wants to be free, but the worlds are desperate to keep her from living a life unburdened.

The Grimm Forest is an entirely new beast for Eva, but none of that compares to the glorious trickster dropped in the cell beside hers.

Things are turning upside down in Grimm and Eva isn’t sure what she can do to help. Locked away in the dungeons, she should be worried about fighting for her own freedom, not about how her heart aches when Rumple looks at her. The worlds are unstable. The darkness is rising. Will Evangaline’s glow be enough to keep her in the light? Or will she lose the very core of who she is to the trickster who dares to call her by name?

The darkness is coming to Grimm. . .

Apok: The Birth of Đavo by Adrian Lee Baker Available April 29

Author: Adrian Lee Baker

Set in 1991 against the prelude to war in Croatia, Apok is a dystopian view of an imperfect world on the brink, as seen through the eyes of the equally imperfect hero sent to save it. For he is the ultimate psychopath, a formidable, soon-to-be-invincible, death machine, an anomaly which science thought impossible yet which religion had always prophesied. Who said the next messiah would be from heaven and that the second coming hasn’t already happened? And what if the battle for humankind’s survival is just about to begin?

Apok is a thought-provoking horror-fantasy, an exhilarating tour de force of forbidden taboos and crippling addiction. It is the stuff of nightmares, a roller coaster ride through the darkest recesses of the human psyche, where demons and monsters from twilight dimensions rip your dreams apart. It takes you through the pain barrier to places none of us want to go but are still curious to explore despite the terror. Apok is about humanity’s failings and how our species is heading for oblivion; it is about one man’s incredible journey and his audacious plan to put things right.

As the plan unfolds, Apok travels through the horrors of a damaged mind and how humankind must first suffer in order to survive. The plan to spread the madness that drives men to do evil things; his mission to wage war on everyone and everything. For his mantra is ‘take no prisoners, dispense death to all and spare no one!’ Apok is the dawn of Hell on Earth …

Author: Dragon Bone Publishing

Aphotic: Devoid of light. A depth beyond comprehension.

Everything that stands in the light also has a side that stands in the darkness.

Love is no exception.

Love is often depicted as light, joyful, fun, exciting, carefree … But there is also a darker side to love—a deeper, frightening, desperate, tragic side.

Dare to dive deep into this raw, emotional collection of short stories, prose, and poetry, which strives to expose the lightless side of tragedy, heartbreak, desperation, and love.

From the love of gods and goddesses to mortals who fell in love with death, to the love forbidden between commoners. From pure sweet love gone astray to villains who loved the hero.

An actress no longer acting she’s in love, a phoenix whose lover gives everything to be with her reborn, a villain who burned the world so his love could be the hero, two immortals who give up everything to live and love, a lonely queen whose touch turns loved ones to ice, a romantic moment re-lived and lost in gold pain. Promises made and promises broken.

Some fall in love and some fall out.

After all … All’s fair in aphotic love.
