Mama had always forbade Mike from going to the old house...she said it was pure evil, that the devil lived there. Grandmamma did, too, back when she could still think straight. Hell, everybody in the poverty and crime-ridden Oak knew to stay away from it. But when a drug deal goes bad, and Mike is left penniless and desperate, he and his younger brother, James, do the unthinkable. In the dead of night, they sneak onto the unkempt property in search of rumored treasures. Beneath the thick shadow cast by the deserted home, they find what they are looking for. But brothers get greedy. Enticed by the promise of enough riches to get them out of the doomed neighborhood, the pair enters the house. And soon discover that the truth can be much worse than legend. Time is ever rotting, and the flies and maggots will devour every moment before it passes. "Shane McKenzie has a wonderful grasp of the dark and terrible. He truly understands what terrifies us and his love for the horrific comes through in every ghastly sentence he composes." -Wrath James White, Author of THE RESSURECTIONIST

After the Mississippi River floods, leaving the Southeast Missouri a diluvian wasteland, good Samaritan David Miller hops into his boat and trolls to neighboring towns to offer his assistance. Meandering though flooded streets and fields, David finds himself in the tiny town of Clayton. Their homes and business built atop crudely-erected stilt legs, the town has survived the flood unscathed. Intrigued by this strange town, and its unfriendly, pasty-skinned denizens, David credits their eccentricities on backwoods superstition. He couldn't be more wrong. Beneath Clayton's quaint, rustic back-country veneer lurks an ancient history steeped in a most dangerous evil. When he befriends a local couple living on the outskirts of the town, David unwittingly becomes a part of an epic struggle between good and evil-a struggle that will leave him questioning his faith...if he survives.

Once, Rock Hill was a place of happiness. The ancient castle sat on the ledge, overlooking the river below and the old forest on the opposite banks. It infected everyone who entered it, drove them silly with admiration and awe. It was a place of happiness, where, for ten years, their child grew up and their books wrote themselves. Then came that faithful winter, and with it…a death. His world destroyed, the writer now sits in his study, creating his dark and horrific fiction. Around him, the house falls into ruin, its crumbling walls a fitting representation of his decaying sanity. Something now lives in the river below, and she serves as his muse, his inspiration. And in return, he feeds her. Her appetite is insatiable… Frank Duffy’s MOUNTAINS OF SMOKE is a modern Gothic tale of love, loss, and obsession. Filled with beautiful and dark imagery and stunningly potent prose, it will captivate you from beginning to shocking end. Includes two bonus novelettes: “Not the End of the Story” and “Ambiguous”..
