Three stories which explore the darker side of the world of books. In a style reminiscent of the old Twilight Zone television show, these three tales will take the book loving listener to a place that is somewhat familiar yet frighteningly surreal and disturbing.

A small eastern community becomes over-run by a growing army of scarecrows.

Stephanie Banner is 20 years old the night Dakota Shane stands center stage while six bullets ring out through the stadium. Five deaths occur from those shots, although only four ever go on record. It happens in Portland, Oregon, at the Rose Garden Arena. The show is a sellout. For the eight days leading up to the concert, a handful of disparate lives intertwine as their world unravels.

In the walled city of Edin, Spike's carefree childhood has always had an end date. His protection from the wasteland of death on the outside is about to change on his 18th birthday. But while only half of the cadets survive their mandatory time on national service, Spike's goal goes far beyond making it out alive. He's betting everything on being chosen as the top candidate, rising to the role of Protector, and securing a spot beside his beautiful best friend.…

Years of training flew by in a whirlwind blur of sweat and blood, and Bawb had excelled like no other in recent memory, shaped into a Ghalian of extraordinary skill under the tutelage of one of the finest their order had ever produced. But even the most talented were not invulnerable. A traitor was in their midst, and the elite assassins found themselves on the defensive, working hard to unearth the lurking rot and excise them with brutal efficiency.

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Bawb knew he would face the latter far more often than the former. But this was his life now. His destiny. Surviving his indoctrination into the elite order of assassins had been a challenge unlike any he had ever faced in his young life. It had been brutal, violent, and painful, but he’d made it past those initial hurdles. If he wanted to excel, however, to reach his true potential, he would need something more—a competitive edge of some sort.

Life as an orphan was quiet, if not exciting, but that existence was turned upside-down in a life-changing instant. Abruptly snatched up and whisked away light years from home, young Bawb found himself thrust into an entirely new life. One that would see his days filled with brutal training of both mind and body, and where failure could have extreme consequences. It would be a difficult existence of sweat, pain, and struggle, where injury and even death were on the line.

We never had a chance, him and me. We were ruined before we began. And now? We were still just as broken, but I needed his help. My feelings for Gabriel Romero would remain locked away because to navigate through the tangled mess of my life, they had to. Besides, some things can’t be fixed, and we were irreparably damaged. I’d made sure of that long ago.

Kay is making his stand as the leader of Avalon, and he won’t back down. With an upgraded class, a set of powerful skills, and a title of nobility, he's gone from a stranded Outworlder to a powerful blood mage. But power comes at a price.

I wasn’t 17 any longer, but I still had a problem—Jesse Compton kept up the pretense he was too old for me. I tried to move on, but he pulled me into his orbit. So, we rode off into the sunset of our happily ever after, right? Wrong. Fate tossed in some wicked plans in the form of a five-foot-five mafia princess and a nightmare from his troubled past, both threatening to destroy us.

In September of 1864, a gang of Confederate irregulars stormed a Union train and made off with half a ton of gold which they buried somewhere in Asheville, North Carolina. Late in the winter of that year, Corporal James Donaldson Walker, one of the few surviving robbers, was captured by Union soldiers and was sent to Ship Island, a prisoner of war camp about 12 miles off the coast of Mississippi.

Philip Granger was that boy. The one who blew spitballs in her hair, stole her valentines, glued her sneakers to the floor, and called her Matchstick. But somehow, when Jillian wasn’t paying attention, the guy she pretended didn’t exist turned into a wickedly handsome man who was hard to ignore. Jillian Donley was that girl. As pretty as a picture, popular, way out of his league, and he was reasonably sure she hated him. But after years of trying to gain her attention, Phillip finally decided he didn’t care anymore. That was until the stunning woman noticed him.

A call for help from an old family friend puts Mark Rollins and his team of crime fighters squarely in the middle of it all. It was a simple enough request. All Rollins had to do was drive to the jail in Manchester, collect the girl, and take her home to her frantic mother. But the girl wasn’t there!

Mara Pappus, a 23rd century petty officer third class, is in trouble—and she knows it. After locking herself in a tool room when the science vessel Vitus is attacked suddenly by an unknown vessel with advanced weaponry, she hears knocking SOS signals coming from somewhere on the ship. Knowing she will have to don an EVA suit and go look for other survivors, she learns she is in a race against time on a dying ship with limited power. She will have to save not only herself, but also her crew.

After a narrow escape from Tumbling Rapids, Kay and his mentor, Eleniah, embark on an exhilarating journey into the unknown. Eleniah has grand designs for her new protégé and plans to mold him into a force of nature, capable of withstanding whatever the world can throw at him. And her chosen classroom? A monster-infested stretch of wilderness, where no one would be stupid—or crazy—enough to venture. But when a motley crew of refugees and adventurers unexpectedly intrudes upon their solitude, Kay's training takes an unforeseen twist.

Kay's life takes an unexpected turn when he is transported to a mysterious world brimming with unfamiliar skills, classes, and a system. As he struggles to comprehend his new reality, he discovers a unique class that’s never been seen before—a powerful new form of blood magic that allows him to shape and manipulate the life force coursing through his veins. But the powers that be view Kay as a threat to their authority and dominance and are more than happy to eliminate him to maintain the status quo.
