Avundar


Book Description

Veraktalis the Dark Sorcerer has discovered a mystic force he believes will unshackle the wrathful demons Christ chained to the bottomless pit. His plan is to annihilate mankind, causing Christ to abandon the earth, thus freeing all evil from the judgment of God. Standing in the way of those wicked schemes is the paladin, Navarro Silvinton; the silver elf prince, Zakili Terishot; and the barons daughter, Candace Veldercrantz. They face an uphill struggle against deceit and prejudice, an assassin warlord and his army, a fictitious curse, and an onslaught of mighty giants and blood-thirsty monsters.

With the fate of mankind at stake, they strive to overcome a threat they can only defeat with the power of Jesus Christ. The odds seem insurmountable, but with God all things are possible.

Scattered Shadows


Book Description

Scattered Shadows tackles the unseen spiritual world around us while bringing together a known psychiatric condition with the alleged reality of supernatural activity. Joshua Gregory Pierce is a forty-nine-year-old, anal-retentive night manager at Walmart. He sees and hears things that others cannot. Although he recognizes this as a gift, he has kept it a secret even from his closest confidants. Now with the advent of a new girlfriend in his life, Sarah Mickey, that may be about to change. Through supernatural means, Joshua knows of the carnal activities that Sarah's thirteen-year-old daughter, Jessica, shares with her older boyfriend, Terrence Beck, and the demonic activities that they have begun to entertain. How can he inform his girlfriend of this gift or oddity and the twisted knowledge that it brings him? Even when the voices commence to tell him that Sarah's life is at risk, he struggles with this inner conflict. Nonetheless, he is truly happy to see that the eyes of Sarah are not that of a Serpent's but soon discovers, unfortunately, that the eyes of her daughter are. How will he inform Sarah of the pending appointment they share with otherworldly entities from another dimension? How can he share with Sarah about the things he sees and hears without being labeled schizophrenic? How will he convince Sarah that her daughter must be done away? Is it all even possible?

Haunting Stories From Unseen World


Book Description

This anthology is a collection of spine-chilling narratives drawn from the darkest corners of the cosmos, where the laws of reality bend and twist, and the veil between the mundane and the macabre is perilously thin. Each tale serves as a portal to an otherworldly realm, where the inexplicable and the terrifying converge to weave a tapestry of cosmic horror. These stories are not bound by the limitations of our known universe; instead, they propel readers into the cosmic unknown, where the echoes of dread and the whispers of the eldritch dance in the shadows. As the curator of this ethereal compendium, I invite you, dear reader, to embark on a journey into the realms beyond the stars. Prepare to encounter malevolent entities, ancient forces, and unspeakable horrors that defy earthly comprehension. These stories are not for the faint of heart; they are tales that grip the soul and elicit a primal fear—a fear that resonates not only with the unknown lurking in the cosmos but also with the depths of the human psyche. In the following pages, you will traverse desolate planets shrouded in perpetual darkness, confront entities that defy the laws of nature, and witness the awakening of malevolent forces that have slumbered for eons. Each story is a portal to a different dimension, a glimpse into the cosmic nightmares that await those who dare to peer beyond the veil.




Chasing the Shadows


Book Description

2020 PRISM Award Winner! Year 2522. Lyra Daniels is dead. Okay, so I only died for sixty-six seconds. But when I came back to life, I got a brand new name and a snazzy new uniform. Go me! Seriously, though, it's very important that Lyra Daniels stays dead, at least as far as the murdering looters, know. While dying is the scariest thing that's happened to me, it morphed my worming skills. I can manipulate the Q-net like never before. But the looters have blocked us from communicating with the rest of the galaxy and now they believe we've gone silent, like Planet Xinji (where silent really means dead). A Protector Class spaceship is coming to our rescue, but we still have to survive almost two years until they arrive - if they arrive at all. Until then, we have to figure out how to stop an unstoppable alien threat. And it's only a matter of time before the looters learn I'm not dead and returns to finish what they started. There's no way I'm going to let the looters win. Instead I'll do whatever it takes to save the people I love. But even I'm running out of ideas...
