The Visitor: The Dark Corner - Book I Easton Livingston
Dana Johansen is being watched. Someone has been following his every move for months. Each month that's passed, they have been getting closer. He doesn't know who they are or what they want. He just knows that they are after him.
Now, they're in his house. His refuge. His safe haven. It's been invaded. If he leaves, the visitor will follow. He's not sure what to do. One thing is certain — if Dana doesn't do something, the visitor will.
The Visitor is the first in a line of short stories, novelettes, and novellas in a series titled The Dark Corner Archives. There are five stories in all, the series progressively getting longer with each story. Those who are a part of his Reality Imagination Universe have special access to all the books in the series as they are released.

Square Perrin Briar
They beat him.
They broke him.
They stabbed him.
They murdered him.
If they did that to your loved one, would you forgive them? Or would you get Square?
Tony Green was recently released having served a four-year prison sentence for murder. With the support of a loving fiancée, he attempts to prevent the next generation from following in his own footsteps. But old habits die hard, and the allure of the underworld is hard to resist.
Although Tony may be paying back his debt to society, he is about to discover other debts are not so easily repaid.
From the writer who brought you the Blood Memory series and Z-Minus comes this tale of revenge, retribution, and regret. If you were denied justice would you dispense your own?

The Curse of Jaxx: A Novel of Dystopian Horror Jay Lemming
Cursed and abandoned on the lonely outpost of a forgotten planet!
Born on the turbulent sea's edge of a deserted world, 500 denizens roam their castle of broken stone, held in thrall to the fear of some dark creature of myth. Wizened and wise-seeming leaders of this abandoned realm, Old Darius and the Elders, alone may decipher the hieroglyphics carved deep into the walls, and which tell the tale of the curse that has gripped them since a sin of abominable proportions countless generations ago.
Armor-clad sentries now stand on lofty battlements facing the violent sea and awaiting the return of unspeakable evil; the moon whispers the name of their tormentor to those who dare stare upon its face but drives to madness those who do not turn away. It is time for the curse of Jaxx!

Crippled love in this short story about crippled New York.
Jim Roberts, a bored wealth management advisor from the wealthy suburbs of New York City, is about to come face to face with the imperfections in his soul. It is September 11, 2011, and a terrorist assault of unimaginable proportions is underway as two airliners fly into the Twin Towers in downtown Manhattan, ending 3,000 lives, destroying countless thousands of others and bringing the city to its knees. Roberts, busy in the apartment of his art dealer mistress just blocks away rather than in his office in the upper level of World Trade Center 2, is forced to realize how he has perpetrated an emotional violence just as devastating within his own family.
Awesome cover!

In Only The Dead Don't Die, A.D. Popovich manages to combine cozy characterization with horror, like Hitchcock used to do, in addition to peppering her writing with dry humor and imaginative similes. A comfortable read for a story that develops organically and includes characters of all ages.
This was a fantastic read! One of those that stay with you for a while...and then a little bit longer. A must-read for lovers of the apocalypse!
Bone chilling cover, great idea for a story!
Great cover and setup! So excited to dive into this world.
A suspenseful story with an interesting main character. There are plenty of horror and thrills. Definitely worth the read!

A brilliant collection of short stories to get you addicted again to horror. Cross your fingers, let the dog sleep in the room, say a prayer before you go to sleep; you're not going to escape the excitement. Six's writing will have you living in his imagination for days afterwards.
Read this book of thirteen chilling stories during the day or when the lights are on. They aren't for the feint-hearted or squeamish.

I love nothing better than a collection of short horror stories and this one delivers. It reminded me of the first time I read Stephen King's Skeleton Crew and had to bury it to feel safe afterwards.

In 1691 the town of Crossfall taught the witch Thessaly how to die. They beat her, shot her, hung her but nothing worked. When they tried to bury her alive Thessaly set the field against them. The first man died as a gust of wind harrowed the meat from his bones. A root,flung like a dirty javelin, cut a second down. Many deaths followed. The Preacher Fell impaled the witch upon her very own broom but she dragged him down into the field to wait three more centuries.
Three hundred years later Maddy Harker murders her bullying husband Vic. She buries him in the field as she buried her abusive father years before that. The very same field where the revenant spirit of Thessaly Cross lies waiting.
In three days Vic will rise again - a thing of dirt, bone and hatred.

The opposite of life isn't death; it's something far worse.
In an anarcho-capitalist future, space-based corporate settlements have replaced the State. Colonel John Alvarez, a fifteen-year veteran, is unwilling to waste more years leading missions into deep space. He wants to start over and make a new life with his wife and son.
But when a distress message from a distant research probe is received, Novos Corp reactivates Alvarez's contract. He must carry out one last mission, a rescue attempt. Unknown to Alvarez, however, is the hidden threat that awaits him, one that—if he cannot stop it—will doom humanity to a fate worse than death.

I picked this up to write a blurb then couldn't put it down! Really good SF about a future where Statists and Corporations are at war. It has a detailed and interesting outer space setting, an original take on warp speed and likeable characters. Great stuff.
Cool title, cool cover!
A terrifying sci-fi tromp through an uncomfortably possible reality.
Great descriptions and an unexpected ending.
Sounds so good! Can’t wait to read this one!

Tonight, Jason will be the bearer of two secrets. These secrets will meet for the first time. Only one secret will survive. The outcome will determine if ten-year-old Jason will live to see age eleven.

It's there he reconnects with his family and realizes what he's been missing out on.

Alien technothriller... A mercenary’s mission to the far corners of the galaxy entangles him in an industrialist’s dream at forging a new empire.
Writing about martial skills that no longer exist is always a challenge, and Chris Turner pulls it off with his swordplay descriptions. Nice when characters have depth, showing different personalities.

Behold Darkness preview LC Champlin
How do you stop a cannibal-creating virus while being held captive by a terrorist mastermind? Nathan has mere hours to find the answer.
Haunted yet ambitious New York businessman Nathan Serebus considers himself more rogue than hero. But that’s before a trip to San Francisco with his attorney Albin Conrad lands them in the middle of a multiple-target terrorist attack. Worse, the strikes unleash a contagion that transforms its victims into savage, unreasoning killers.
As the Bay Area descends into barbaric violence, Nathan and his friends fight like wolves to reach safety.
Despite their ferocity, they become the terrorists' hostages. As Nathan matches wits with the plot's mastermind—whose goals may be closer to Nathan’s than he’d like to believe—the manipulation and intrigue force him

The premise for Behold Darkness is interesting and intriguing. Its an assimilation of terrorism and zombies to spell out extinction of man and the fight for survival. Kudos to LC Champlin for his imagination. The story is simply is a must read!
Cover is great, good premise too!
