Tonight, they will put the fun into funfair, and hundreds will flock here to partake of the jollities, to experience something that is part funfair, part circus, and part amusement park ejected straight from the deepest bowels of Hell…

Most will have so much fun, in fact, they might just stay forever…

The Sorrowsmith by Andy Monk Available April 16

4 Evil Eyes

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…

Author: Alexander Charalambides

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.

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.

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.

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?
