AIKEN MILL, VIRGINIA… A legend-haunted town in Sylvan County, located in a remote, mountainous corner of the state. With its long history of countless deaths and disappearances, Aiken Mill has become known to law enforcement as “The Cold Case Capital of the World.”
Now, an unidentified, mutilated body has turned up in the town. During his investigation, Sheriff Bryce Parrott discovers frightening clues that lead him to believe some ghostly force—or entity—may be responsible for the killing.
While exploring the darkest corners of Sylvan County, psychology professor Martin Pritchett and his brother, Phillip, happen upon a crumbling, century-old house beside a body of water called Black Tooth Pond. A strange compulsion leads both men back to the house time and time again, but neither can remember any of the events that occur there.
As both Sheriff Parrott and the Pritchett brothers attempt to solve their respective mysteries, their paths begin to converge—paths that lead inexorably to the ancient, foreboding house at Black Tooth Pond.

*Henson Darrow, college student, receives a desperate phone call from his brother in the Appalachian community of Beacon Cove, a place Henson had wanted to leave for good. His brother begs Henson to return, for their father is missing. Their father is the community’s sineater, a terrifying position that is feared yet required by the religious people who live there. Henson seeks the advice of Joel Barker, a man who has escaped the clutches of Beacon Cove. Joel hesitates to advise Henson, however. And so, returning to Beacon Cove, Henson sets out on a journey of trepidation and then terror as he, himself, is charged with the horrible responsibility of cleansing sin from those who die. The Wages of Belief is a standalone sequel to Massie’s Stoker-winning novel, Sineater.

*Three young sisters seek the truth of a man’s death in a dark basement filled with a hoard of peculiar items.
*A clumsy murderer finds himself caught up in something worse than legal entanglement.
*Topsy, the Coney Island elephant electrocuted by Thomas Edison to prove the power of direct current, seeks revenge as an angry, though rather hapless, spirit.
*Sink holes begin appearing at a rapid pace, not ordinary sink holes but deep cavernous pits that seem to have minds of their own.
These are just some of the tales of darkness and dread found in The Wages of Belief and Other Stories from the Dark Side, a new collection by Bram Stoker Award-winning Elizabeth Massie.

In the terrifying and unique New York Times bestseller, THE UNBORN, the physician-director of a prestigious sleep research lab made a horrifying discovery. A young grad student, strapped for cash, concealed her pregnancy to earn the lab’s commission. The study’s goal was to collate the sleepers’ electroencephalogram data by having the hospital’s unique supercomputer—MEDIC—analyze their EEG brainwaves. All proceeded normally until bizarre blips unexpectedly occurred on the pregnant woman’s tracing. Evaluating the strange blips, the doctor discovered that MEDIC and the fetus were actually communicating.
The unborn child learned and developed with ominous speed; the mother deteriorated rapidly. MEDIC’s goal was to induce an early birth and destroy the mother during labor. With the doctor’s last-minute intervention, she was rescued, and the child entered the world, seemingly normal.
But what if it wasn’t?
THE UNBORN ARMAGEDDON bridges yesterday with tomorrow in an edge-of-your-seat thriller. The child is now a mature man, a compassionate physician. But MEDIC has also grown, evolving into a technologically sophisticated quantum computer. Its knowledge and chilling, real-world power are unparalleled. Over the years, man and machine have gone separate ways. When the doctor is nearly murdered, comatose in intensive care, MEDIC reconnects, and its horrifying intentions become clear.

A cast of both new and favorite characters, driven by decorated submarine combat veteran Lieutenant Anthony Pacino, is forced to fight for not only his beloved submarine Vermont and the lives of his shipmates, but the fate of the Western world in an epic battle of undersea warfare.
