Synopsis: "A HANDFUL OF EVIL by Andrew Marini Lust for power spurred the quest, but who was leading whom? An uneasy alliance sets two strangers upon a perilous search for an ancient relic lost to the darkness of a forgotten age—a search that will reveal sights strange and wondrous ... and dangers such as should only be seen in nightmares. A sword-and-sorcery spectacle of greed, betrayal, savage conflict, eerie sorcery, and an unbelievable journey through a domain beyond dreams." "STRANGERS FROM THE GATE by James Stuart Anderson The doorway into the earth beckoned like a voiceless maw, beyond which lurked the strangers who waited below―for human souls ... When the gate was unearthed the nightmare began, drawing a band of warriors into an abode that lay between worlds ... Gripping action, supernatural terror, and perilous adventure unfold in a land ruled by swords and strength." "THE FATE OF THE UNBELIEVER by H. T. Aldrich Whetenworth They acted in the name of the god, but were they worthy of the name? Deluded zeal meets its just rewards in this tale of a tyrannical priest whose religious fanaticism is put to the test in a way he never would have imagined ... or chosen to believe. A grim look at what is deemed sacred and what sacrilegious, when judged by the standards of both men and gods." "DWELLER OF THE DARK MEADOW by Brian Fisher What was the towering menace that had ravaged the town, and who was there to stop it? A champion is called upon to save a village from a monstrous plague, only to face a final reckoning he could never have foreseen. Adventure and sorcery abound in this surprising story of an unexpected confrontation between a formidable hunter and his deadly quarry." "CHILD OF OCEAN, CHILD OF STORM by James Stuart Anderson It was a voyage built on lies and treachery, but was the ultimate destination to be untold riches or inescapable destruction? A pirate captain makes an unholy bargain in a mad scheme to secure the means of rousing a lost power from the ancient sea in story of courage, conquest, deceit, and vengeance." "UNDYING VENGEANCE by Arthur K Hammond Out of the darkness he came, bringing confusion, fear, betrayal, chaos, and vengeance ... but vengeance for what? Who—who or what—was the menacing presence that stalked a mobster's lair on a cold night in late 1937? From where had he come, and how was it that he could strike without warning, and vanish without trace? An unusual mystery involving a strange figure of retribution and the justice brought to a den of criminals, with a supernatural twist that demands this story be read more than once." - TAKEN FROM THE PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE
