The Hobo Nickel... It's traded from hand to hand for food, sex, shelter, and power. But these are no ordinary hobo nickels. These deliciously macabre bits of lost art belong to the Carver -- twenty coins that carry a curse of death, destruction, and ill luck.  Where these coins go, so does his will. Each coin is imbued with his malice and a desire for destruction. With each life ruined... the Carver's life goes on. Seventeen stories tell the tale of the Carver's legacy: coins designed for beauty morphed into catalysts of pain.  Authors include: Nathaniel Lee, Kelly Swails, Andrew Penn Romine, Brandie Tarvin, Jay Lake, Erik Scott De Bie, Martin Livings, Nate Crowder, Seanan McGuire, Glenn Rolfe, Dylan Birtolo, Kelly Lagor, Jason Andrew, Mae Empson, Richard Dansky, Peter M. Ball, Gary A. Braunbeck.

Book One in the Terminal City Saga.  Mason Cross never wanted to be anything like his father, a famous professor who, it turns out, was also a necromancer. But death changes people. Now Mason is following in his dead dad's footsteps, down a dark, solitary path between two competing lives: one as a student at Terminal City's top university, the other as a necromancer. But will he find the answers he's looking for? Or will he find only death, caught in a hidden war between necromancers and a religious inquisition?  As the gravity of both worlds bears down on him, Mason will need to discover not just new power but also what a human life is really worth.

Dedicated to master dream-weaver, Edgar Allan Poe! 
 Nevermore! Tales of Murder, Mystery and the Macabre is an homage to the great American writer, the incomparable Edgar Allan Poe, and a must-have for every fan of his work. 
 Compiled by multi-award winning editors, Nancy Kilpatrick and Caro Soles, Nevermore! Tales of Murder, Mystery and the Macabre presents a tantalizing selection of imaginative stories by New York Times best-selling and prize-winning authors Margaret Atwood; Kelley Armstrong; Richard Christian Matheson; Tanith Lee; William F. Nolan; Nancy Holder; Christopher Rice; Chelsea Quinn Yarbro; Michael Jecks; Lisa Morton; J. Madison Davis; Barbara Fradkin, and many others. 
 The anthology consists of 21 original tales that blend supernatural and mystery elements in unique re-imaginings of Edgar Allan Poe's exquisite stories. 
 In addition to these amazing stories, we've added two bonus items: 
 BONUS 1 "The Opium-Eater" by David Morrell 
 Previously unavailable in print, now included here for the first time...... The Opium-Eater by the New York Times best-selling author, David Morrell, recipient of three Bram Stoker awards, finalist for an Edgar and Anthony award, winner of a Nero and Macavity award, and recipient of the Thriller Master award from the International Thriller Writers organization. 
 BONUS 2 "Edgar Allan Poe, Genre Crosser" an essay by Uwe Sommerlad 
 This essay adds an historical dimension to Nevermore! as it enlightens readers to the fact that Poe's oeuvre went far beyond his fame as a writer of dark fantasy and supernatural tales. This well-researched essay traces the powerful influence of Poe in the literature of other countries as well as in the English speaking world. Poe is the father of the modern mystery story, but Sommerlad shows that Poe's reach extends to realms as diverse as science fiction and romance. Nevermore! is a blend of what Poe imagined, a genre-less world of unique stories and re-envisionings.

Short Stories & Anthologies

Twenty-one stories that will scare you to death.  You may or may not believe in the old gentleman known variously as Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness, Satan, or simply the devil -- but it is impossible to deny the existence of evil in the world. And all those arguments about whether evil originates in the fires of Hades or in the smoldering heart of humankind don't change the fact that evil has always been with us -- and, most likely, always will be.  The stories you are about to read are about evil, in one form or another. Several of them give evil a supernatural origin, but others place it squarely in the lap of ordinary (or maybe not so ordinary) human beings. Some of the people you are about to meet will overcome the evil that confronts them, while others won't be quite so fortunate. Either way, all of them are going to be changed by the encounter. These stories are best read late at night, preferably while you're alone in the house. I recommend leaving only a single light on. Try to use a reading lamp that illuminates the page while throwing the rest of the room into shadows -- shadows where anything might be hiding. Anything. Later, as you lie in the iron dark, waiting for sleep, perhaps you'll start to wonder if there really is a Devil, and if this is the night he might choose to come -- for you. I wish you pleasant dreams. Well, no -- not really.

The Devil Will Come
