Out today from author Elford Alley and Infested Publishing, Wildcat Thicket
In the dying Texas town of Lagoe, Ry and Erin are just trying to survive. Trapped in a crumbling trailer, dogged by debt, and surrounded by ghosts of a better future. When their reclusive landlord vanishes deep within the woods of Wildcat Thicket, and something starts creeping towards their home at night, knocking, whistling, mocking; they realise their worst fears aren’t late bills or speeding fines.
Something is out there waiting for them, something pre-historic, mimicking, hungry.

Released today from author Kathleen Greer and Crystal Lake Publishing, The Wendigo Hunter
Deep in the forests surrounding Lake Winnipesaukee, something ancient stalks its prey.
Once it was a man. Now a Wendigo.
A demon of hunger and cold, the creature prowls the wilderness, driven by an insatiable craving for human flesh.
But the monster in the woods is only part of the nightmare. Robert Radnor, known throughout Boston as “The Phenomenon” for exposing fraudulent mediums, spirit-talkers, and occult charlatans, has come to the Big Lake seeking a quiet summer with his wife Jo and her sister Isobel. Their destination is Miramar Hall, the sprawling lakeside estate of Radnor’s former Civil War commander.
Yet the moment they arrive, Rob senses something deeply wrong. The family that rules Miramar Hall hides secrets older than the house itself. Strange happenings plague the surrounding forest. And whispers of a terrible creature begin to surface—something hunting in the dark woods beyond the lake.
As Radnor digs deeper into the mystery, the lines between superstition and reality begin to blur. Corruption, greed, and long-buried sins converge in a deadly conspiracy that may awaken forces far more dangerous than any ghost story. And somewhere in the forest, the Wendigo waits.
