Out today from writer KN Gould and Crystal Lake Publishing, Path of Totality
This world is a cruel and arbitrary place. Hope cannot last when it turns its gaze upon you.
With a simple phrase, Tucker Gibsen is taken back to the day when, as a child, he came face to face with a madman and barely escaped with his life. Now, as an adult, he finds himself embroiled in a decades-old grudge between two modern-day witches, putting his life, and the lives of those he cares for most, in danger. What chance does one ordinary person have when threatened by uncaring supernatural forces set in motion long ago?
KN Gould’s Path of Totality, an atmospheric novel of horror, despair, revenge, and fate, will leave the reader questioning how much control they really have over their own lives. Available today in eBook and paperback, you can pick up yours here.
Coming 6 June from author Micah Castle and Anhedonia Press, Homecoming
When the death of an old friend draws Jake back to the town he swore he’d never return to, a storm traps him inside his childhood home.
As memories best forgotten cloud his mind, he sees townsfolk in white robes gathered outside. They call for him to receive Her mark—to be one among them.
They won’t take no for an answer, and Jake quickly finds his only hope for escape is what he truly fears the most—the basement.
Homecoming is a claustrophobic and psychological descent into cult horror, ancestral terror, and the overwhelming dread of what’s below. Available for pre-order now in eBook, with other editions to follow, you can guarantee your copy here.
