Title: The Apparitions of Ruin
Author: Ian R Cran
Genre: ghost fiction
Publisher: Independent
Publication Date: 9th January, 2024

Synopsis: In recent years, Friar’s Dale has earned itself the reputation of ‘Britain’s Most Haunted Village’. The body of Nicholas Doyle has been found at one of the village’s renowned haunted locations: at a crossroads, where a gallows still stands. He has a bullet hole to the head, but there is no exit wound – and no bullet.

Due to the paranormal abilities they have inherited, Charlotte, Aaron and Emma Burroughs are recruited by a government agency to look into the strange death. As they investigate, Emma’s ability to trigger a visual playback of a person’s final moments before death reveals a supernatural connection to Doyle’s murder.

But everyone knows ghosts cannot kill!

When a second body is found, the pressure is on to solve the mystery behind the macabre deaths in Friar’s Dale – before they become the next victims.

Title: To Coventry
Author: T.C. Parker
Genre: psychic mysteries, werewolf and shifters suspense
Publisher: Nefarious Bat Press
Publication Date: 1st March, 2024

Synopsis: The young men of Coventry are dying, violently and bloodily, and nobody seems to know why. There’s no obvious reason for their deaths, and no connection at all between the victims.
Enter Sunny: demonic, immortal and bored to distraction by her new life in London. She needs a new challenge – another reason to get up from her fainting couch and grab the world by the throat. And the Coventry murders might be just what she’s looking for. A chance for her to channel her inner sleuth, dust off her fedora and, if she’s lucky – gather the suspects together for a shattering final denouement…
A pitch-dark comic-fantasy murder mystery with a light touch and a lot of anger, To Coventry takes the Hummingbird story in an unexpected direction – and brings a whole new meaning to some very old nursery rhymes…

Title: Draw You In, Volume 3 – Behind the Mask
Author: Jasper Bark
Genre: horror fiction, horror fantasy, conspiracy thrillers
Publisher: Crystal Lake Publishing
Publication Date: 5th July, 2024

Synopsis: Draw You In Vol.3 – Behind the Mask is the explosive finale to this mind-bending trilogy.

Is the whole of history a convenient lie?

That’s how it’s beginning to look to Linda, Richard and Agent McPherson as they hunt for Tales That Draw You In, cartoonist R. L. Carver’s legendary lost work. The key to finding it could lie in a memory Linda’s repressed, from when she was a captive of the serial killer Henry McLaughlin.

The sinister cabal known as the Shadows in the Cave is also keen to retrieve Linda’s memory. Their reasons are linked to a military compound in the Chihuahuan desert and a clandestine psychic espionage program. Linda, Richard and McPherson learn that more than their own lives hang in the balance. The program’s terrible purpose could bring about the end of the world as we know it.

Described as “Kavalier and Clay meets Clive Barker,” it contains stories within stories that explore horror in all its subgenres, from quiet to psychological horror, from hardcore to cosmic horror.

Experience the epic conspiracy thriller that redefines the genre for a new generation.
