The Day of the Spider
by Keith Wood
Genre: Dark Historical Halloween Murder Fiction
'The Day of the Spider' is a sort of sequel to the debut
novel, 'One Day in May' by the author, but can be equally read as a standalone
work as it is very different, though still set in the 18th century.
The novel is primarily set in the heart of the Hambleton Hills of North
Yorkshire, though it starts off in Mansfield in Nottinghamshire where the
heroine (or should that be anti-heroine), Nellie Chapman, a sexually abused
young woman from a traditional mining family feels she has to move a long way
from her past life. She has no plans but to get away and live a life on her own
terms, an uncommon practice for a woman in the 18th century.
Despite Nellie's unlawful past, fate ensures that she seems to bear a charmed
life. You may hate her or love her; it's for you to judge and you'll find
plenty to entertain as you sit in judgement.
Brace yourself for eight stories of scary spectres (and for
ghosts that try to be) written by a collection of authors who love all things
paranormal...

Keith Wood was
born in Halifax, Yorkshire in 1947, his family
moved to North Yorkshire in 1952 where he spent his early life. Leaving
secondary school at 15 with no qualifications, he got a job as a garden
lad at a large country house in the Hambleton Hills.
He eventually pursued a career in local
government working up to a head of department
after gaining a master’s degree in environmental management. He can therefore
call upon his wide experiences working across
many departments.
He admits he does very little planning and sees himself as a
seat of the pants type of writer. He says his plots develop organically as he
goes along. Much like the story of his life.
Although having a successful career he feels that at 78, he
can't yet put his feet up, he has ambitions of
writing many more works before curling his toes up.

plain...) She is from Moore, affectionately known as Tornado Alley, but now
lives in Edmond.
She's always wanted to be a writer and wrote her first

Elvis fan?)

Presley, MLB, NFL (she usually works in a mention of one or all three into her
stories) and watching (or rewatching) her favorite televisions shows like
Dexter, Vampire Diaries, Justified, and Breaking Bad. Some of her favorite

men come out to play.
Sexy Spooky Season
by Love, Fey
Genre: Erotic Halloween Romance
All Horrors’
Eve is where the book girlies flock and masked men come out to play.
Lark is one of them, lurking in the shadows. Working as a scare actor means he
doesn’t have to talk, which is fortunate because he has vocal cord paralysis.
That doesn’t stop him from stalking and teasing the guests in silence. He’s
never wanted more than the occasional hook up until the night he spots a
beautiful woman with a scar across her throat. Even when he gets a taste, he
craves more. But will Sutton accept him—voiceless and all?
Sutton didn’t anticipate meeting a horny man in a pumpkin mask at a Halloween
theme park. Nor did she think she’d do the deliciously naughty things she’s
done with him. In public no less. But now she’s hooked. She feels safe
revealing all of herself to him—from the chaotic joker she portrays at her
adult haunted house to the stories behind her scars. The only problem is Lark
continues to hide. Will he ever let her see the man behind the mask?

What if the world’s salvation
depended on the rebirth of its most feared woman?
Award-winning author Michaela
Riley delivers a groundbreaking saga with The Witch's Rebirth Series, beginning
with the electrifying Labyrinth of Shadows: The Witch’s Rebirth Part I.
Born on Samhain, under the
ominous shroud of an eclipse, Merona's destiny is a spell woven through
centuries. As the mighty Western Roman Empire crumbles into dust and a new king
rises amidst the ashes, an ancient prophecy demands her awakening. This is no
mere historical reimagining; it is a cosmic tension, an eerie beauty where
history and myth conspire to ignite a forgotten power.
Forget the villains of myth. In
this epic tale, the world's salvation rests on the shoulders of its most feared
woman. Merona’s rebirth isn't just a beginning; it's the genesis of humanity's
last hope. Journey with her through a labyrinth of shadows, where destiny,
reclamation, and the profound cost of becoming who you were always meant to be
collide.
Labyrinth of Shadows: The
Witch’s Rebirth Part I doesn’t just sound epic—it feels like a spell cast
across time. Prepare for a story that flips archetypes, raises the stakes to
unimaginable heights, and will leave you questioning everything you thought you
knew about fate and fear.
The Witch’s Rebirth Series by
Award-Winning Author Michaela Riley. Her rebirth begins. The world will never
be the same.
This Samhain, the veil thins,
and a legend awakens.
Michaela Riley, the
award-winning storyteller whose words have captivated readers, invites you on a
journey back to a time when magic thrummed in the very soil and darkness lurked
at the edges of the known world. Step into The Witch's Rebirth Series, a saga
that begins not with a whisper, but with a shattering revelation on the most
sacred night of the year.
The year is 540 A.D. The air in
Gaul is thick with an unspoken dread, a chilling premonition spreading like
wildfire from the East. For nearly three decades, a name whispered with fear, a
figure known only as The Witch, has remained a phantom, a recluse safeguarding
truths too powerful to be spoken. Merona, the woman behind the myth, has lived
a life of quiet vigilance, her existence a shield against a nameless terror.
But the shadows are lengthening.
An ancient, lurking darkness, a force older than empires and more insidious
than plague, has begun to stir. This is not a foe that wields steel; it is a
corruption that feasts on despair, a creeping night threatening to extinguish
the last embers of humanity. And Merona, the reclusive witch, is no longer
hidden. She is drawn from her sanctuary, her slumbering power ignited by an
imperative she cannot ignore.
Her mission is immense, her
burden profound. Merona is the solitary guardian of the Cauldron of Dagda, an
artifact of immense power, a beacon of hope in a world teetering on the
precipice of eternal night. Humanity's fate rests not on armies, but on the whispered
incantations and fierce determination of one woman.
Beside her, though the odds are
stacked against them, stand those who have pledged their unwavering loyalty.
Murdach, Morrigan, and Mairead. Their faces, etched with the weariness of
countless battles against the encroaching darkness, mirror the grim resolve in
Merona's own eyes. Her voice, though carrying the weight of prophecy and the
echo of a fragile world, is not one of despair, but of a fierce, unwavering
commitment.
The Witch's Rebirth Series is
more than a story; it is an immersion into a visceral world where pagan lore
collides with cataclysmic threats. It is a testament to the power of
resilience, the strength of chosen family, and the indomitable spirit of those
who dare to stand against the tide of oblivion.
Prepare to be spellbound.
Prepare to witness the impossible. Prepare for The Witch's Rebirth Series by
Michaela Riley.
She was reborn on Samhain. And
that was only the beginning.
From the award-winning
imagination of Michaela Riley comes a sweeping saga where ancient myth bleeds
into brutal history, and humanity's fate rests on the shoulders of one
formidable woman. Welcome to THE WITCH'S REBIRTH SERIES.
In the shadowed year of 544 AD,
the ancient Gaul town of Septimania lies scarred, but not broken. A devastating
plague had gripped its very soul, until the Witch, through powerful, arcane
deeds, began to loosen its deadly hold. Now, as the sacred eve of Samhain
approaches, the air hums with the promise of roaring bonfires, desperate
festivity, and a fragile new dawn.
But beneath the surface of
celebration, an unsettling truth stirs: an ancient darkness, long thought
defeated, is awakening once more. This menacing, primeval force threatens to
extinguish the fragile light of renewal, to plunge Septimania, and indeed all
humanity, into an eternal night.
With the raven's call echoing
through the labyrinth's core, the Witch emerges, reborn and wielding the
legendary Cauldron of Dagda and the mighty Spear of Lugh. She is poised for one
final, desperate battle. To preserve humanity, she must summon the enigmatic,
divine strength of the Gods – the awe-inspiring might of the Tuatha De Danann.
For in this coming conflict, so cataclysmic are the stakes, there will be no
victor left standing unless the ancient powers heed her plea.
Will the Witch's rebirth be
humanity's salvation, or its final, desperate gasp?
Dive into THE WITCH'S REBIRTH
SERIES by Award-Winning Author Michaela Riley and witness the epic struggle for
survival where myth is made, and legends are forged in fire and blood.
Your journey into ancient magic
and desperate heroism begins on Samhain.

Cursed the moment I
fell in love with her.
While home in Raleigh for semester break, I didn’t expect my girlfriend,
Alondra, to ask me for a favor: present my Book of Shadows to the leader of a
satanic cult. She was looking for a new male witch for her coven. Of course,
she knew it wouldn’t be me.
But when a curse took hold of our college campus—and the spirits I thought I’d
left behind came back—I realized I couldn’t keep the book closed much longer.
Now something dark surrounds me. Is it the work of the wizard with the devilish
goatee? Or is it a little girl possessed by something far worse?
I lit a dark shadow, and now I feel only confusion. Whatever this darkness is,
it’s coming for Alondra, our family, and every witch in Hawthorne.

friends. And my soul. You decide. I chronicled everything here in her book.
