"Debra Castaneda is extremely talented at writing creepy, atmospheric folk horror." - PopHorror.com Decades before a deadly attack wipes out a neighborhood along Roy's Slough, a circus ship crashes ashore at Devil's Landing. Among the wreck's survivors: a young woman from the mountains of Mexico seeking to free her captured lover, a vile ringmaster, and creatures that howl in the night. The lifeboats carry more than the circus troupe to the fog-shrouded harbor on the central coast of California: cages, secrets, and a lifetime of resentment. Hoping to fund the rest of their journey, the circus performers put on a show in the isolated village, but when a new animal act debuts, things go horrifyingly wrong. The events that follow reveal the depth of the ringmaster's ambition, the true nature of the beasts, a test of Ana Maria's love, and the real story behind the deadly Slough Devils of Devil's Landing. Read the origin story of the creatures in Debra Castaneda's coastal horror novel, The Devil's Shallows, part of the Dark Earth Rising series of standalone novels. Read the books in any order.

But now, Josephine was dead and all the various spymasters that Lisabetta had double-crossed were circling like vultures to see what she knew about the rumored St. Alban's treasure. She needed a gambit, and needed it fast; it was fortunate, indeed, that love was the greatest gambit of all.
This latest book by Jonas Zdanys presents lyrical narrative poems that speak through vivid multi-sensual imagery and the textured language of a master poet to present a resonant interplay of poetry and painting. Written in the galleries of the New Britain Museum of American Art, the poems in this volume are not just commentaries on the framed works in those galleries. They are, most essentially, expressions of the poet's commitment to hear and to extend the stories those paintings tell, and to do so by creating parallel texts in these pages -- paintings in words that absorb and expand the paintings in pigments. This book is a masterful example of ekphrasis at its best -- a mature aesthetic vision, a chronicle of what the poet has seen and imagined at the Museum, presented through varied perspectives and voices.
