On the day the villagers were forced to flee Hensu, not everyone got out alive.  Jackson Stone is touring the abandoned Chinese city when he slips away from the group to spend the night, determined to publish an account of his ghostly experiences there.   Then he meets Yuèhai, a strange, soft-spoken woman who can tell him the city’s secrets—secrets the Chinese government would kill to keep hidden.  As Jackson uncovers the truth about Yuèhai and the ghost city, he’s drawn into a web of conspiracy, betrayal, and murder. He must risk everything to save himself and bring honor back to Yuèhai and her family.

It's her job. While struggling to retrieve a young girl's soul, Kate uncovers some shocking truths about the evil on the island that challenges her own convictions and morals--and even her life. Is saving Lily worth making a deal with the infamous Doctor of Death, or is the price too high to pay?

Mystery

"I've known JG Faherty since he was an up-and-comer. Now he's arrived. Start reading him now-as in TODAY-so you won't have to play catch-up later." -F. Paul Wilson, author of the bestselling Repairman Jack series "Every horror novella should read like this, a non-stop thrill ride that amps up the terror with each chapter." -Russell James, author of Q Island, on The Bear Who Wouldn't Leave "Soares and Gunn are a cohesive, well-oiled machine... the two manage to pull of an exciting, comprehensive adventure into fear that will resonate with many, long after the final pages." --Dave Gammon, Horrornews.net on Nightmare in Greasepaint Four original novellas to make you hide under the covers! Ah, the carefree, sunny days of childhood. And oh, the terrifying, dark nights. Nights when you closed your eyes tight, afraid to open them and see the painted, eternally leering face of a clown mere inches from your own. Nights when you could look out your bedroom window and watch the scarecrows walk across the lonely cornfields. When every story or fairytale your parents told you seemed to include monsters. And when even the teddy bear by your side had fangs and plans of his own. Travel back to those nights of horror now with four original novellas by four wonderfully macabre authors. And...sleep tight!
