Loved by many, spiders are a terrifying creature. Hiding in the corners of your home, under tables, maybe even chilling on your ceiling, you're never too far away from a spider. They watch you, watch your movements as they lay eggs and bring more into this world. And sometimes, just sometimes, they get close enough to kill you. Spiders in our Bed is a chapbook of short, erotic fiction. Containing four stimulating tales, the characters suffer from the actions of spiders. If you're afraid of the arachnids, then step inside, because the pages in this book will make every inch of your skin crawl.

Vegan restaurants, independent book stores, punk rock concerts, all of these are great settings...for terror. This book features hipster horror, a look at what horror could look when told through the subculture of coffee, organic food, and going against the grain. Welcome to horror...before it was cool. Featuring stories from: Kari Ann Ebert, Beulah Vega, James B. Nicola, John Power, B. A. Mullin, Clare Bercot Zwerling, Pat Brothwell, Wondra Vanian, Patrick Desrochers, Rye Jaffe, Leigh Fisher, Laura Wheatman Hill, Nicholas Karavatos

King Kong. Dracula. The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Jaws. Each of these are popular monsters from horror movies. The writers in this book take on this theme with sinister delight. Some of them revamp (pun intended) the old monsters of film. Some pit them against each other. And some of them create all-new monsters. As you read these stories, be careful. You never know what might slip through into reality.

With Drage now in the seat of power in Apolis, the underwater world of Gev s is facing a civil war: the pro-anima Southern Continent and the elitist Eastern Continent. While Drage handles the war from his palace, Matthew Helius seeks out the Keepers of Time and their mysterious past, and Stehl finds her way closer to finding and eliminating the elusive Enigma Brigade. The world finds itself in bitter turmoil, but none of them can see the invisible threads the Lords of the Shadows are pulling from the darkness.

When Drage Helius returns to the watery world of Gev s, the rebel anima have entered full-scale war with his kingdom. Still struggling with the curse Maris placed upon him five years ago, Drage tries to free himself before taking his place as Emperor. Meanwhile, the Lords of the Shadows have found the next Great Servant in the draconic world Sharl Vran, and even Draconis has to return home to face his own dark past. While Draconis and Drage both try to fight to save their nations, Randir and Mali scour Earth for the mythical Black Joker, a powerful entity who could supposedly free them from Y'tal's dark control. As the Darkness rises in the five worlds, the Guardians of Light fight to gain leverage, and the Spirit Swords of legend lie in wait.
