All Hallows' Eve is the story of a man and woman whose love was so
great it could bridge the gap of death; of evil so terrible as to
be unmentionable, of a vision so beautiful it must be true. Opens
with a discussion between the ghosts of two dead women wandering
about London. Ultimately explores the meaning of human suffering
and empathy by dissolving the barrier between the living and the
dead through both black magic and divine love. A young woman dies
to discover a London that looks right out of Dante. A painter does
a portrait of a minister and discovers he has painted beetles, and
the minister thanks him for it! A magician sends someone to the
future. All Hallow's Eve is an amazing book in that it explores
both the question of 'what happens when you die?' as well as 'what
is the relationship between the dead and the living?'. Charles
Williams at his best.
The third and Final chapter in the Fenton Saga as Daniel, Madison
and Todd are faced once more with their evil father. Who will
perish as they try to rid the world of Bill Fenton.

In this fourth thriller in the Pseudoverse Series novels, we take

future as a pawn in a twisted game hosted by the corrupt, the
greedy, and the underworld. In this fourth novel in our
Pseudoverse, the year is 2049, twenty-seven years before Cobalt.
Who was the very first Pseudosynth? A detective working a case of
murders become a casualty of Ray Nelson's early work as we follow
her and her partner through the wasteland of lies, cover-ups, and
mummified remains. This thrilling and mysterious follow-up to
Emerald will have you on the edge of your seat as we unveil who was
'the first genetically engineered conscious being' in this tale of
Egyptian lore turned painfully bloody, and cubed.
Nothing can surpass the terror of the human psyche. Mine has been a
life of much shame. I can't even guess myself what it must be to
live the life of a human being. Plagued by a maddening anxiety, the
terrible disconnect between his own concept of happiness and the
joy of the rest of the world, Yozo Oba plays the clown in his
dissolute life, holding up a mask for those around him as he
spirals ever downward, locked arm-in-arm with death. Osamu Dazai's
immortal and supposedly autobiographical work of Japanese
literature, is perfectly adapted here into a manga by Junji Ito.
The imagery wrenches open the text of the novel one line at a time
to sublimate Yozo's mental landscape into something even more
delicate and grotesque. This is the ultimate in art by Ito, proof
that nothing can surpass the terror of the human psyche.
