The Confirmed Bachelors
From Stephen Volk, award-winning author of The Dark Masters Trilogy and The Good Unknown, and screenwriter of Gothic and Ghostwatch.-The Confirmed Bachelors-It should be stated at the outset, for those who expect a certain kind of thing from a certain kind of tale, that, when investigating Arilda House in his capacity as a member of the Society for Psychical Research, Flaxton found no evidence, let alone proof, of a haunting. Not that he especially sought a preternatural explanation, nor did he - God forbid - leap to grasp any tenuous thread that might be clung to in that regard. Such lack of discipline would entirely go against the grain of his essentially sceptical nature. However, it must be said, and he almost did say, the place certainly looked the part...-The Waiting Room-Our hosts, such as they were, did not seem as subject to the cold as we did, remaining cheerful beyond requirement as they furnished us with cups of tea. We had not divulged the exact purpose for our coming, though one of them at least had experienced the phenomenon, and I could only reason that their lightness of spirit was born of the knowledge that they would soon be off to a warm bed, and we would not...

Reviews of Wrath Child "Vick is a seasoned writer who doesn't hold back. His opening line ('The alley stank of garbage and human waste and blood and imminent death') demonstrates his ability to evoke the senses and paint a visceral scene -- and alerts readers that the story to come contains a fair amount of gore and disturbing images. The well-crafted plot, memorable characters, and decidedly wicked villain will linger long after the last page is turned. Those looking for an engrossing supernatural thriller containing high stakes will find much to enjoy. Great for fans of John Connolly's A Book of Bones and Vaughn C. Hardacker's Wendigo--Publishers Weekly "Wrath Child is one of the best supernatural thrillers I've read in recent years, and I would highly recommend it to fans of the genre."--Pikasho Deka, Readers' Favorite Reviews "Wrath Child: A Supernatural Thriller is psychologically rich, written with interesting details and scenes that put readers on the edge of their seats. It is an enjoyable read with great writing."--Grace Masso, Readers' Favorite Reviews "This is the best thing [Erik Henry Vick has] ever written!"--Supergirl (Erik's wife--how could she be biased ) "Addictive, disturbing, scary and absorbing story. Already ordered the sequel. Can't lose with this book."--Amazon Reader "If you want to be scared page after page, then this book is for you!!!!"--Amazon Reader "It was impossible to put down.

Our Lady Chaos
Beautiful on the outside, deadly evil on the inside. Throughout Eddie's childhood, two things remained constant: cold, hateful violence and the vicious smiles of the Scary Lady who haunted him. The love of his adoptive parents shielded him from her horrible influence--at least for a time. Years later, the Scary Lady returns, prompting Eddie and his wife Amanda to join the group of demon hunters from Oneka Falls attempting to banish evil forever. But they face a greater threat than they imagined possible--an ancient demigoddess with astounding power. Can the group survive the tempting traps laid for them by Our Lady Chaos? Critical Acclaim for Our Lady Chaos: ★★★★★ "In this story, nothing is what it seems. A hushed silence hides a hideous and demonic presence. Readers quickly learn that humans can be the worst monsters. The conflict is skillfully developed and it is interesting to witness the infighting amongst demons as they yearn for more power and control. The crew of demon fighters is composed of vulnerable characters who are courageous. At times they improvise as they move along, discovering facts about their enemy. The introduction of the myth in the narrative takes the story to new depths and enriches the plot. Erik Henry Vick is a great storyteller and the realism he infuses into the writing augments the horror, keeping the blood running cold through the reader's veins while making them anticipate what comes next. Our Lady Chaos: A Horror Collection is written in great prose and it features compelling characters who grab the reader's interest right off the bat. A delightful read, indeed."-Christian Sia, Readers' Favorite Reviews ★★★★★ "I adore the visceral and highly imaginative horror works of author Erik Henry Vick, who delivers on multiple levels to please the horror reader. His prose is slick with bloody imagery and sudden twists that keep readers on edge throughout the story, yet the overall arc of the build-up to attempting to defeat the ultimate demons is intelligently played, slow-burning and growing in power over time."--K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite Reviews ★★★★★ "This scary and entertaining collection hasn't been easy on my heart; I felt like it would give out on almost every page. The element of horror seeps deep into the stories and every character and every segment of the plots make it even more prominent. There is a plethora of characters and every character has a purpose, so all of them are incredibly detailed and developed. Out of all these characters, the four that stood out to me the most are Benny, Toby, Dennis, and Brigitta. They all were different yet they added a lot of depth to the story and their backstories were really well woven into the main plot. You have to read Our Lady Chaos: A Horror Collection by Erik Henry Vick to experience the thrill!"--Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite Reviews What readers are saying: ★★★★★ "Every time I finish an Erik Henry Vick series, I feel like I just lost a dear friend. It's devastating. They're that good." ★★★★★ "I absolutely have loved each and every one of these novels. I hate seeing them ending." ★★★★★ "A heart-pounding and thrilling conclusion to a captivating (and often unsettling) series." ★★★★★ "Heroes vs demons, what could be better?" ★★★★★ "I don't usually write reviews, but after finishing Our Lady Chaos, I feel compelled to encourage other horror/fantasy fiction fans to investigate the author." ★★★★★ "Just finished reading the third book in series and have to say it's the best trilogy I have read in many years--would recommend to everyone." ★★★★★ "This closer for the Bloodletter trilogy was a great w

Devils Dance
Have you ever had the feeling that someone is pulling your strings, making you dance to their tune? Since the Smith case in Manhattan, Gavin Gregory, one of the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit's best profilers, has had those feelings in spades. First it was Glacadairanam, the Wrath Child, who was the hidden hand manipulating his life, but in Miami, Gavin met the power behind the little gargoyle in the form of a creature calling himself Fry. But Fry is much more than a man with an East Texas drawl--as evidenced by his funny habit of turning up in Gavin's dreams. The last time Gavin dreamed of the insane creature, the experience almost killed him. During the two investigations, Gavin learned many things existed he'd always thought impossible--psychics, possession, secret government programs kidnapping children and training them as assassins--but the demonic father-son duo embodied by Fry and Glacadairanam scare him the most. Because when those Devils Dance, Gavin has no choice but to waltz along with them.

Room 316
There's something wrong with Sarvey Hall.When Mara Ellison settles into Room 316, the first sign is the cold, the way the air by the window never warms. Then come the whispers, threading through the night just loud enough to raise the hairs on her neck. And at exactly 3:16 a.m.: three even knocks from the closet. Never two. Never four.Mara tries to be rational, pipes, neighbors, lack of sleep, until a recording captures the sound...and a rasping message: She's still in here. By October the room crackles with static, mirrors refuse to keep honest reflections, and a new roommate, Natalie Claybourne, stops sleeping, stares at the glass for hours, and finally breaks in a way no one can explain. Campus police flood the hall. The university papers it over.Officer Steven Kent keeps coming back to check on Mara, to walk the corridor where the temperature drops outside 316 and the walls feel like they're listening. He finds what Mara won't say out loud in the journals hidden beneath her things: rules and warnings, taped-over mirrors, and the dread of a door that opens by itself.In January, transfer students, and journalism majors, Kayla Bishop and Zoe Lin arrive chasing rumors, archived posts, and the campus whisper-network that insists Sarvey has a room you don't survive. Their search pulls them past official statements and into a pattern of vanishing girls, scratched paint, and that relentless tapping from behind the wood.What waits inside the closet isn't a trick of light. It's a wound in the room. It breathes. It watches. And when the door opens, it doesn't always close.Room 316 is a claustrophobic campus horror novel told across a school year of whispers, journals, and missing persons, a slow, inexorable pull toward the moment you realize the knocking is for you.

Skeletons & Scandals
When a ghost haunts your kitchen, you'd better be ready to stir the pot. I thought judging Thornhollow's Southern Spirits Cookoff would mean a weekend of casseroles, community spirit, and a few tall tales about haunted grannies and secret family recipes. I didn't expect a famous food blogger to drop dead after tasting my friend's cornbread casserole.And I definitely didn't expect to stumble across a skeleton in my attic-let alone the ghost that comes with it.A once-famous local chef, whose mysterious disappearance decades ago has become the stuff of Thornhollow folklore, has taken up residence in my kitchen-rearranging spice racks, leaving floury clues on the counter, and demanding I solve the mystery of her death or she'll haunt my kitchen for eternity.With a poisoned casserole, a tin filled with recipes, and a whole lot of Southern secrets bubbling to the surface, I've got my hands full-and a killer in Thornhollow would rather I leave the past buried. If you love your mysteries served with a side of Southern sass, ghostly meddling, and mouthwatering recipes (yes, there are recipes included), grab your apron and join Ava in the kitchen. Skeletons & Scandals is a cozy mystery packed with charm, chills, and a whole lot of heart.

10
The 10:45 pm Show: The Dark Alley pulls readers into a chilling narrative of love, deception, and unspeakable tragedy, set against the eerie backdrop of the Regal Multiplex Theatre. A modern marvel standing proudly in the heart of the city, the theatre hides beneath its sleek, contemporary exterior a dark and forgotten history. Built upon the ruins of an old cinema, the Regal Multiplex is a symbol of progress-but some remnants of the past, it seems, are far from gone.At the heart of this haunting tale is Melicia, a talented actress caught between two men whose differences could not be more stark. Clement, her true love, whose devotion is overshadowed by his growing jealousy, and Baron, a charismatic and ambitious director, whose magnetic presence becomes an irresistible rival for Melicia's affections. As the tension between the men escalates, Melicia finds herself torn between love and loyalty, while Clement's suspicions escalate into rage. The fragility of their relationship crumbles under the weight of Baron's unsettling interference, culminating in a violent confrontation that results in the mysterious and sudden disappearance of both men.When The Dark Alley film reel is rediscovered after decades, it is decided that the film will be shown in Hall No. 8 of the Regal Multiplex. At 10:45 p.m. that fateful night, secrets thought buried for over forty years begin to resurface. The film, once presumed lost, holds the answers to a mystery that has haunted the theatre and its inhabitants for decades-answers no one is ready for, or at least no one willing to accept.Enter Detectives Park and Jenson, seasoned investigators, who took on the case when a lone survivor escaped the theatre, igniting a fresh wave of unsettling questions. What seemed at first like a straightforward investigation into a sole survivor quickly unravels into something far darker. The detectives uncover chilling details about the disappearances, revealing a disturbing pattern of missing couples, each linked to the night The Dark Alley was screened just weeks before. As they dig deeper, they uncover long-buried truths, exposing a conspiracy much more sinister than they could have imagined. Their investigation ultimately leads them to the unresolved disappearances of Clement and Baron, connecting dots no one had seen coming.As Park and Jenson delve deeper into the hidden truths within the theatre's walls, they realise that the line between justice and revenge is far more complex than they initially thought. With every step closer to uncovering the truth and the motives behind it, they face not only deceit, lies, and greed within the theatre staff but also the restless spirits of the past-spirits that refuse to remain silent. Or perhaps, it's something more sinister? A carefully crafted illusion designed to warp their perception of reality, blurring the line between truth and fiction. Are these spirits seeking revenge, or are they using the living to uncover the justice they were denied?In this suspense-filled tale, love, loss, and long-hidden secrets collide in ways no one could have anticipated. The 10:45 p.m. Show isn't just about a cursed film-it's a journey through broken lives, vengeful spirits, and a terrifying truth that threatens to destroy everything in its wake. As the secrets of the past slowly unravel, one thing becomes undeniable: some darkness never fades, and some truths were never meant to be uncovered.
