Now, in the heart of Texas, her lost plaything is discovered trolling the clubs for late night lovers…and snacks. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Especially when it’s a 300 year old with a thirst for blood such as the Red Queen.
The Unicorn Man by Jack X. McCallum With a single stroke of lightning a father becomes a monster . . . A monster becomes a savior . . . The headless bodies of their own kin terrorize the residents of tranquil Kitchissippi . . . And a boy’s idyllic life is irrevocably changed when The Unicorn Man comes to town.
Sadie’s Cats by Jonathan Black Sadie loves her cats. When her favorite goes missing, Jake, her devoted husband, promises her a new one. Then a local thug comes prowling for a new car and Jake is attacked and Sadie is left on her own, viewed as little more than a helpless old lady. Some people never learn.
The Hyde Dynasty by Brian Fatah Steele (a recent Bram Stoker nominee) We have never been known by the name of “Jekyll.” Five generations of secrets and now a series of murders threaten to expose them all. Savage murders that defy what is physically, humanly possible. Murders that could only have been carried out by a Hyde.

About the author
C.L. Stegall
25 books47 followersI craft stories that move like films through the mind and songs that paint scenes in sound. My fiction reads like cinema—visual, atmospheric, deeply felt—while my music tells stories that words alone couldn't capture. Both emerge from the same creative well: a fascination with how moments can shimmer with meaning, how a single scene or melody can hold entire worlds.
