Vampires don't exist....yet, on the brownstone back alley side streets of New York, a vampire dies. Desperate, his lover turns to Kim Bennett, who finds herself caught between a secret vampire society's attempts to locate The Black Testament (a sacred document written by Jack the Ripper), the modern-day vampire hunters bent on their destruction, and a white-knuckled journey of self-discovery that catapults her into the bowels of hell and the arms of the ultimate vampire.......courtesy of The Haven, New York's ultimate BLOOD BAR...

 

A girl, pushed by a voice nobody can explain, falls in love with a quiet artist hiding a secret in his attic…a ghost, fueled by centuries of rage, finds a foothold of power in the heart and talent of an innocent.....a succubus, a lover in death – a black widow, finds a new puppet to revitalize her passions…a rogue vigilante, whose path is a trail of blood, gore, and mayhem, stalks the father of his madness…and a boy - the artist, the innocent, the puppet – who nobody understands…All together entangled in a bizarre story of love, death, and power from beyond the grave....from beyond the GraveWhispers.....

What would you do if you found out you were never human? What would you do if you found out you had special powers, could see the future and would never die? What would you do if you realized that because of your unique abilities that you would never marry, have children and grow old among friends and family? Phaedra is a young woman who learns she will have to deal with all these things. She is blessed with watching history; but cursed never to be a part of it. For if she exposes her secrets, she will become the hunted, because men never forgive creatures who are better than they are...

Jason Gehlert offers three terrifying tales of bone-crushing mayhem, blood soaked screams, and demons around every corner. In his first short story collection, Gehlert pulls no punches, delivering on a wide spectrum of genres. The horror western "Revolver," the gritty sequel "Woodsman 2," and the macabre fantasy tale, "Ghost Bride." With newcomer Tammy Gehlert's "Quivering Dreams," offering a different spin of the werewolf genre, this volcanic collection deserves to be on your bookshelf.

Thirty years ago, a depraved assault during a Halloween costume ball shattered a young woman’s mind, turning her into a brutal mass murderer. Dressed in her rival’s blood soaked wedding gown, the legend of the Butcher Bride was born.  Now, decades later, everyone who enters the Silas Mansion will discover a frightening spirit ravenous to satisfy perverse appetites.   Death is the only escape.  Here comes the Bride.

An epic tale acclaimed highly by many of the critics and top brass in genre literature since its initial publishing in 2001, The Everborn concerns the offspring of fallen angels that have lived among us since the dawn of man. Throughout the ages, they live life after life in normal society until each one falls in love and fathers their own child. Before that child is born, they undergo a rapid degeneration into a fetal state before they disappear entirely and become reborn into a new life, essentially becoming their own fathers.   All of them male, they live out their commonplace lives under the covert protection of Watchmaids, inter-dimensional female beings whose purpose is to ensure no harm comes to them under penalty of banishment into a state of eternal loneliness.   When an Everborn is reborn as a set of twins, one a soulless serial killer on a quest to be born again into a sinless life and the other a kind-hearted ghostwriter for a world-famous rock-and-roll horror novelist, a banished Watchmaid claims her role in an ancient prophecy to use the soulless twin as a means to re-enter our world and bring about its destruction.  With The Everborn, Grabowsky combines a detailed, highly original mythology with gripping storytelling which makes him a “master of the English language*” and the novel “unputdownable*” where “the reader will be unable to get the terrifying and original visions out of their head.*” Upon these pages we have concepts of UFOs, alien grey origins, genies, explorations of death, immortality and religion, relationships and romance, alternative science fiction and no-holds-barred horror which, ultimately, commands the broadest of appeal.

On her latest dig, her team enters a slip in time and arrives 3 months after Peter dies.  He leaves behind a supernatural dagger, a dagger which houses his destructive soul. Upon its discovery, she accidentally cuts herself..  The end of the world is at hand, unless evil is defeated within the holy grounds of The Last Church.
