"While we didn't feel anything physically when they fed on us, our mental states were another matter. Sometimes they'd feed on you just a little, leave you with a bit of depression, maybe a little sadness, or some anxiety. Sometimes they'd feed too much, though this was less common. Overfeeding led to hysteria, madness, and other mental ailments. Sound people would snap over-night." 'We Named Them' by Nik Patrick

Travel from the misty redwoods of California to a world paralyzed by the fear of darkness. From the canals of Venice to a building of infinite size to a house haunted by objects, and to a city whose streets are paved with faces.

Planet Hunter

Gordon, Alan Ira

Richard Martz, a broken mage cursed by his former colleagues, has removed himself from the world of magic. He lives anonymously until he encounters Holly Ellefson. She is not the human woman everyone sees, but a half-blood dark fey, who recognizes Richard as a mage. Holly's mother, a powerful human mage, placed a spell on Holly, hiding her from the local mages and fey courts, as Holly is both part-fey and a potential mage, a bloodline that is taboo by magical treaty. The death of Holly's father, her last living blood-relative, has caused the magic grounding the spell to collapse, exposing Holly to those who would destroy her. Holly begs Richard for help. He agrees, but in return she must kill him once her safety is secured. Thus begins a deadly battle of arcane hide-and-seek... but which ones will live, and which will die?

Fantasy

We fear what we do not know and death is our ultimate fear. We do not know what lies beyond, or if there is a beyond, but some of us have ideas. Some of us have had experiences. Strange noises that can't be explained. Objects moving on their own. Whispers of people who aren't there. Slips of forms barely seen. Objects that are never to be touched. Words that are never to be spoken. Places that are never to be visited. All of these form the stories you'll find within the soul-touched pages of The Haunted Life. Do you have the courage to find out what lies beyond?

The Haunted Life

City in the Ice

There are those who chant the eldritch songs, who wait at the angled gates, who gather in blasted, nameless places to celebrate the return of the great Old Ones. For centuries, for millennia, their tales have not been told. Within these haunted pages you will find their stories of yearning, terror, murder, and a faith that defies the commonplace understanding of humanity. Come and look into the minds of those of those who built the Cities in the Ice at the Mountains of Madness.

In the time before the sinking of Atlantis, the government of the southernmost island, Adylonis, is fractured among eight great Houses. Each is a sovereign entity jealous of its power and eager to exercise its ambitions over the rest of the island. However, the greatest city, Moorkai, is ruled by a neutral faction called the University, and the Atlantean Emperor's presence on the island, represented by the priestly order of the Tialsar, maintains the balance of power though esoteric and political maneuvering.House Thran, in exile on the mainland for centuries for its support of the non-human races, the Kel and Telemet, returns to claim its own after Andalarn Thran. Jarl of the House, appeals personally to the Emperor. The Tialsar, who had been in control of House Thran's resources and secular position, are displaced and resent Aldalarn's return.House Suum, blood enemy of House Thran even before the exile, is even more resentful of its return, as the two Houses are traditional opponents in the struggle for the Ascendancy, a title conferred only by the University on the pre-eminent House that equates to King of Adylonis.So let the fur (and scales and skin) fly
