Bleedovers
by William Todd RoseSure to thrill readers of Stephen King, Joe Hill, and Dean Koontz--William Todd Rose's new dark horror novella is a tale of bloody retribution that blurs the line between the waking world and the terrors of the night. There's only one thing standing between humanity and the dark forces of the supernatural: the secret agency known as The Institute. The organization depends on regular guys like Chuck, a Level I Recon and Enforcement Technician who guides tormented spirits into the next life. From an office deep underground, Chuck projects his spirit into Crossfades, monstrous realms where the souls of the dead, unable to move on due to fear or anger, devise macabre tortures for themselves and one another. He's always been able to leave his work behind at the end of the day . . . until now. First in dreams, then in waking nightmares, Crossfades are bleeding into the physical world. And now it's up to Chuck--along with his partner, a woman named Control--to put a stop to it. Because there's no telling what might come over from the other side.

The Blessing Papers
by William BarnwellThe Blessing Papers (novel # 1 of the Blessing Series, four in all to date: Book of the Romes, Imram, The Sigma Curve) begins years after the Fall of the known world, and reading is a lost art. Young Turly Vail believes his missing father, who hid something called the Blessing Papers in the first novel, knows what to do, so he has to find him. The search begins on the island of Imram, a loose adaptation of Ireland after the apocalypse of the Falling. The big question is this: If all is lost, as has been foretold, what can be found? That is also what young Vail seeks to know. He begins an epic journey on an island that represents what is left of the new world. At the conclusion of The Blessing Papers, Turly finds the papers and believes he can feel the end of the Falling. But alas, at the time, this was not to be. However, after many further adventures in the other novels, with a myriad of characters, he begins to understand what the papers mean, and it is not all good. Then he has choices to make. Are the Blessing Papers real and for the good of humans, or manufactured by other worlds for an even further reason. One answer is found in the Prequel of the series: Book of the Romes. Each novel stands alone, and additions to the series will be forthcoming in due time.
