Horror
Eyes on You by Donna Taylor
After ten years of working the Boardwalk Butcher case, Damien and Jackie Romano are done with it. They're no closer to catching the vampire serial killer now than the last agent was thirty years ago. But when the Butcher sends their seven-year-old daughter, Jenna, a little present, it's the straw that breaks the vampire's back. Damien will stop at nothing to stop the Butcher if it's the last thing he does.
EYES ON YOU is a short story set in the San Nico Slayers universe and told from the point of view of Jenna's dad, Damien. This is the backstory of Jenna's incident that haunts her at the beginning of BLOOD ON THE BOARDWALK, so if you haven't read that book yet, there will be spoilers in this story.
Content Warning: swearing, violence, gore, murder, harassment, house fire.
BestGhost: A Novelette by C. J. Daley
A debut sample from the forthcoming Tales From Cemetery, this novelette is a FREE SAMPLE from the author's site!
The Old Mayor’s Mansion sits just a few miles outside the town of Cemetery.
When best friends Sean and Devon want to increase views on their ghost investigation channel, they know the mansion is the perfect spot to film.
Armed with a slew of new equipment, the buddies set out to capture the paranormal hotspot that will make them famous—just maybe not in the way they were hoping.
The Blood Eagle by Newton Webb
In the heart of the Midlands, the relentless advance of the HS2 construction project unearths more than just soil and stone—it releases an ancient, unspeakable evil from its crypt. Jack and Carla, a pair thrust into the chaos, find themselves entangled in a chilling mystery.
As a bloodthirsty terror begins to claim victims, they must race against time to uncover the source of this monstrous menace and stop it before they become its next targets.

Dark Fantasy
Wrath of Persephone (War on the Gods, #0) by A. P. Mobley
How does a maiden become a monster?
Kore, a daughter of Demeter and Zeus, has never been so happy. She lives on Mount Olympus and has grown into a powerful young spring goddess. She spends her days frolicking through nature with the other immortals her age, and she's even fallen in love with a handsome god of sunlight. Her life is perfect—that is, until the night she catches the eye of Hades, King of the Underworld.
When Kore refuses Hades’s advances, he kidnaps her and forces her to marry him. He even changes her name to Persephone—stealing the last bit of agency she still has. In the end, Kore is forced to let go of the world above.
To survive her new role as Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, Kore will have to embrace the darkness and grow into the vengeful goddess she was always destined to be.
