Thunder and Roses: The Complete Stories of Theodore Sturgeon, Volume 4
by Theodore SturgeonVolume 4 of the complete stories of Theodore Sturgeon, one of sci fi's greatest masters. This collection contains stories written in the mid 1940's which cover the full range of Ted Sturgeons writings, mostly science fiction and fantasy (including some of his best: 'Maturity', 'Thunder and Roses' and 'The sky was full of ships') but also western ('Well Spiced'), horror ('The Professor's Teddy Bear'), mainstream fiction ('Wham, Bop' and 'A Way Home') and an extremely poignant romance between a man and two women that didn't need the SF element, but that certainly added to the eerie undercurrent of the relationship ('Hurricane Trio').

Thunder Heights: Window On The Square, Thunder Heights, And The Golden Unicorn
by Phyllis A. WhitneyFrom the &“Queen of the American gothics&”: In turn-of-the-century New York, a strange inheritance lures a vulnerable governess into a trap (The New York Times). Camilla King knows little of her family history, having never met her estranged relatives. Her late father wanted it that way. But when she receives a startling invitation from her immeasurably wealthy and ailing grandfather, Orrin Judd, to return to Thunder Heights, the crumbling mansion on the Hudson where her mother died under mysterious circumstances, Camilla complies, partly out of curiosity for the family she never had, and partly because of whispers of an inheritance. What she finds there is a demanding and unwelcoming tyrant, two wraithlike aunts haunted by an unnamable grief, a cunning idler living off the Judd fortune, and her grandfather&’s rigid and suspicious aide. When a series of accidents befall Camilla, she has reason to fear her homecoming may be a carefully designed trap—the same one her own mother fell prey to many years ago. New York Times–bestselling and Edgar Award–winning author Phyllis A. Whitney &“is, and always will be, the Grand Master of her craft&” (Barbara Michaels). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Phyllis A. Whitney including rare images from the author&’s estate.

Tidepool: A Lovecraftian Gothic Novel
by Nicole Willson“Wilson’s plot hits all the right beats…Devotees of cosmic horror will enjoy this woman-centered take on familiar tropes.”-Publisher's WeeklyIf ye give not willingly, the Lords will rise… In 1913, Henry Hamilton disappears while on a business trip, and his sister, Sorrow, won’t rest until she finds him. Defying her father’s orders to remain at home, she travels to Tidepool, the last place Henry visited. Residents of the small, shabby oceanside town can’t quite meet Sorrow’s eyes when she questions them about Henry. When corpses wash up on shore looking as if they’ve been torn apart by something not quite human, Sorrow is ready to return to Baltimore and let her father send in the professional detectives. Then, she meets Mrs. Ada Oliver, a widow whose black silk dresses and elegant manners set her apart from other Tidepool residents. After a terrifying encounter involving Mrs. Oliver, Sorrow discovers Tidepool’s dark, deadly secret, and the town’s denizens—human and otherwise—are hell bent on making sure she never leaves. Atmospheric, riveting, and frightening, Tidepool is a must read Lovecraftian dark fantasy for those who pursue the truth no matter the personal cost. “Richly dark and enthralling!” --Verified Reviewer “The creeping dread of Lovecraftian horror by way of American Horror Story - Tidepool will ensure you never look at the ocean the same way again!” --Peter McLean, author of War for the Rose Throne Series “Part Thomas Ligotti, part Penny Dreadful, Tidepool, is a novel about the gravitational forces of fate, pulling characters in against their will, with readers only able to sit and watch the catastrophe unfold. This is the compelling force of all great horror, to hope for rescue even when we know it will not come, to want to escape even as we turn the next page. Willson wields a deft hand of darkness and humanity in this compelling debut.” -- Jaye Viner, author of Jane of Battery Park
