For a small New England town, Shadow Grove has an uncanny ability
to attract the worst kind of trouble. Not that the residents are
too concerned about the various horrors living among them. As the
leaves change color and the weather grows colder, a foul presence
is making itself known by leaving peculiar gifts for the students
of Ridge Crest High. At first, the presents seem harmless-and a
rash of accidents seem coincidental-but when seniors Rachel Cleary
and her Scottish cousin, Dougal Mackay, find a boneless body in the
boiler room, things take an ominous turn. Something vicious is on
the loose in Shadow Grove, but with Orion Nebulius gone, Rachel has
little hope of anyone getting out alive.
Too often people mistake monsters for gods. When a ravaged corpse
is discovered in Pretoria, South Africa, Esmé Snyder—an
occult-crime expert—is called in to investigate. But she doesn't
know the scope of what she's up against. Esmé is the target of a
cat-and-mouse game with a serial killer who uses the paranormal to
do his bidding, with the intent of becoming a god on Earth. With
assistance from her team—a brusque detective, eccentric
millionaire, stoic priest, hawkeyed secretary, and handsome British
forensic criminologist—Esmé hopes to find the killer before he
strikes again. But the clock isn't all that's working against them.
The media catches wind of the threat against the citizens of
Pretoria, and their reported speculations promise a post-Apartheid
Satanic Panic. As the body count grows, Esmé must figure out who
is behind the heinous crimes before she ends up the final
sacrifice. Dark Country highlights the multicultural mythologies,
magic, histories, beauty, and horror of living in pseudo-modern
South Africa.

Eight chilling tales to read under the Cold Moon. A tinker's son
acquires a cursed soul. A dying woman is haunted by her own
reflection. An uninvited presence haunts a Christmas seance. A
festive holiday turns macabre. Despite the twinkling lights and
steaming cocoa, the end of the year is the darkest time of the
year-a season of short days, long nights, and cold skies. In this
special anniversary anthology, the authors of Black Spot Books mix
Ye Olde Yuletide hauntings with modern-day holiday horrors to weave
a chilling new collection of dark winter tales. From frozen forests
stalked by eerie Christmas ghosts to rotting gifts of winter
malice, the spirits of Christmas come home for the holidays in the
Dead of Winter.
