Congratulations to author Devin James Leonard on the release of his novel, The Buddy Snatchers. Alcoholic man-child Cal McCarthy wants one thing: to stay sober long enough at his ten-year reunion to win back his high school sweetheart. But reconnecting with old friends reveals he isn’t the only one pretending to be someone he’s not—almost everyone in town seems different. Something has infiltrated Cal’s tiny Adirondack village and found its way inside the residents, altering their minds and taking control of their bodies. After a decade apart, Cal must rely on fading memories of his friends to figure out who’s been infected, who’s simply lying—and who’s just grown into someone he no longer recognizes. A paranoid, character-driven small-town horror novel about addiction, identity, and the terrifying possibility that the people you used to know might already be gone. Perfect for readers who love Invasion of the Body Snatchers-style dread, unreliable narrators, and horror that hits as hard emotionally as it does viscerally. Now available on Kindle, paperback, and KU Or buy it directly on our Website!

Eli Lamp is a broken man. An ex-detective, ex-addict, and long-grieving father whose daughter, Hannah, disappeared a decade before, Eli decimated his old life investigating her abduction and is now indebted to the Crooked Wheel, a local drug gang, as an enforcer. He lives in a rundown trailer at the edge of the woods, where he keeps Hannah’s room in pristine condition and tries to make it through one day at a time.
But when the son of the Crooked Wheel’s boss is found viciously murdered in a crime scene that doesn’t seem to add up, Eli receives a new order: Find out who the killer is and your debt to the Wheel is clear forever. You’re free. This pursuit brings him into the orbit of Avery Bryant, Hannah’s best friend and the last person to see her before she went missing. Soon, Eli and Avery are entwined in a hunt for answers that spans decades, stretches the realm of possibility, and brings churning to the surface a conspiracy linking not only these current tragedies, but the buried sorrows of Eli’s past.
And though none of them dare say the word "witch," at least not out loud, something lurks in the woods, bent-backed and black-eyed, clawed and vengefu Continue Reading
“I wanna tell you about the time I almost died.”
Fallen
This past Sunday evening, after spending the afternoon playing a game on my PC, I decided to do some chores so I wouldn’t feel completely useless. While Erica cooked dinner, I took out the trash, sorted through our mail, and looked at our dining room windows. It’s been getting cooler over the last few weeks. Perhaps it’s time to winterize the A/C unit and re-insulate it on the inside. We leave it in year-round these days because, frankly, it’s a hulking beast that’s a huge pain in the ass to move.
I got the exterior weather cover from storage, went outside, and began fitting it over the unit. There are straps involved. I got as far threading the straps before I noticed something: yellowjackets were crawling out of a tiny space from underneath the window frame. One or two at first, coming and going. Maybe I could do this without them noticing. Maybe not.

Every child deserves to be protected, to have a safe space in the world. And a summer camp in upstate New York called Kindlerlieb promised to be just that: a haven for troubled children.
Instead, eight little campers vanished from Kinderlieb in the summer of 1951, leaving behind unspeakable bloodshed, the stunned, grieving community of Leichen County, and something else—a ruthless manifestation of vengeance that's been sleeping fitfully ever since, a protector simmering with rage and ready to awaken when it is needed.
Decades later, when a makeshift family arrives in Leichen County for a weekend getaway, it's time for the protector to rise again—to give love and care to a little girl in need, and a savage comeuppance to the adults in equal measure.
In the third novel by author Luisa Colón, trauma and rage take the unexpected, massive form of something furry, cuddly, and ready to kill.
In the summer of 1951, eight children deemed "troubled" were sent to Camp Kindelieb to rid them of behaviors their parents considered unacceptable. They never returned home, and their bodies were not found among the massacred adults.
