One of the ships, GIA, crashes on Kepler, which is already inhabited. Now at the mercy of the alien race, the humans are held in an underground cavern.

Would they still have gone knowing that they would be stripped of all humanity?

Under the constant eye of the aliens, a few men discover there may be a way out of the cavern.

But to where?

How will they escape, and what will they encounter if they succeed? Buy UK and US

The Soulless

Written by Mark Mackey & Shawn William Davis

Narrated by Krista Leona Anderson

Tim Burchett and Amber Louise Forest never suspected they had boarded a cruise ship headed straight to Hell. They couldn’t have been any more different. Tim was a former armored car driver laying low on the cruise ship after making off with half a million dollars of his employer’s stolen cash. Amber was the successful CEO of a multi-million dollar publishing company taking a much needed vacation from her high-stress job. Neither one could have predicted that their cruise ship would be hijacked by terrorists. Neither one could have predicted that they would have to rely on each other to survive. But the terrorists are the least of their problems. After the cruise ship’s controls are blasted and the ship is sent far off course, they find themselves shipwrecked on a remote Pacific island. On the island, Tim and Amber must survive outrageous terrors created by a twisted science that exceed a lunatic’s most deranged nightmares. Buy UK and US

Savages

Written by Christina Bergling

Narrated by Kelsey Milligan

An incredibly touching, yet unapologetically brutal trek through a post-apocalyptic wasteland of a civilization that once was.

Are they zombies? Are they still human?

Today’s update coincides with a book launch and quite a bit of news!

Firstly, today sees the release of the third book in the A-Z of Horror Series: C is for Cannibals. You can grab a copy for your Kindle, read in Kindle Unlimited, or get the paperback on Amazon. There will be an online launch party at 9.30pm today (UK time), filled with competitions and book chatter, over on Facebook.

We have been working on the website over the last couple of weeks so you may notice a few changes. The book reviews and book shop pages have been tidied up and sorted by author. E-books are now available through the book shop page as well, at lower prices than on Amazon. We have also added some merchandise – mugs are available now and we will be adding T-shirts and some other bits over the next few weeks.

Last week saw the Audible releases of the first two books in the Elements of Horror Series (Earth & Air) so we have a few review copies to give away for those. Get in touch via the Contact page to request a free code.  We currently have a few other titles in production on Audible (A is for Aliens, Elements of Horror: Fire, and Madman Across the Water by Caroline Angel) so keep an eye out for news on those.
