The Weeping Wall - Eva Pohler Cover Art

The Weeping Wall

The Weeping Wall by Eva Pohler

A wall that weeps. A secret that kills. When a new homeowner in Savannah, Georgia, writes to  Ghost Healers, Inc.  about a wall in her Victorian row house that "weeps" every night, Sue can't resist the call. Beneath the city's beauty—where moss drapes like mourning veils and whispers cling to every corner—Ellen, Sue, and Tanya uncover a haunting unlike any they've faced before. What begins as a curious anomaly soon turns sinister as ghostly voices echo through the house and saltwater tears stain the plaster. The deeper the team digs, the more Savannah itself seems to resist them—its genteel charm hiding something rotten just below the surface. In a city built on secrets, the line between the living and the dead blurs. Someone—or something—doesn't want the truth revealed. And as the haunting intensifies, Ellen, Sue, and Tanya realize that not all ghosts are trapped in the past. Some still walk among them. The books in this series can be read in any order.

The Séance Garden by Juliet Blackwell

After a cheesy ghost tour in one of California’s oldest towns stumbles upon an actual haunting, a skeptical historian of the occult becomes entangled in solving a murder case. When Professor Harper Grae loses a bet with a friend, she finds herself on a local nighttime tour of “haunted” locations in Monterey. Harper’s a lifelong non-believer in the occult, though her academic career is devoted to the historical and societal significance of witchcraft, ghosts, and medicinal poisons of all sorts. But her skepticism immediately gets tested when the tour stumbles on the body of local artist Delilah Mason—who’s found murdered on the grounds of a nearly two-hundred-year-old mansion, once home to the infamous Perles family. On the night Mason’s body is found, Harper catches sight of something in the house that she can’t shake, something that’s impossible to explain, at least not rationally. Soon the murder investigation reveals that this is the second time a woman has been found murdered beneath a sprawling cypress tree in the gardens of the Perles Mansion. And when Harper’s closest friend is questioned by the police, Harper fears the authorities will fail to uncover the real killer. As Harper asks questions around town and digs deeper into the supernatural speculation and rumors surrounding the murders—two women killed in similar circumstances, separated by nearly two centuries —she sees evidence she can’t ignore that the notorious mansion truly is haunted by the ghost of Isabel Perles. What will it cost Harper to rethink everything she’s always believed to admit that the veil between the living and the dead might actually be crossed?

After the devastating events of the past few months, the last thing Melanie Trenholm wants is to think about the future.  Why, when her husband, Jack, has asked for a separation—a separation that might have been her fault?  Nevertheless, with twin toddlers, a stepdaughter leaving for college soon, a real estate career to resume and a historic home that is still being restored, Melanie doesn’t have much time to wonder where it all went wrong—but that doesn’t stop her from trying to win her husband back.   Their relationship issues are pushed aside, however, when longtime nemesis, Marc Longo, comes to them with a proposition:  allow their Tradd Street house to be used as the filming location for the movie adaptation of Marc’s bestselling book, and he will help Jack re-establish his stalled writing career. Despite Melanie’s hesitation, Jack jumps at the chance.  But Melanie’s doubts soon prove to be well founded when she uncovers ulterior reasons for Marc wanting to be back in their house—reasons that include a hidden gem so brilliant that legend links it to the most infamous jewel of all, the Hope Diamond.   But Melanie has an unexpected ally in protecting the house and its inhabitants—the ghost of a Civil War era girl warns her of increasing threats to her family. But she’s not the only spirit who is haunting Melanie.  A malevolent ghost seems determined to stop Melanie from investigating the decades-old murder of a friend’s sister, and this spirit will stop at nothing to protect its secrets—even from beyond the grave.   Melanie and Jack must work together to find the answers before evil spirits of past and present destroy everything they love.

Here she can forget her life in the city and the problems she’s left behind there, at least for a while. But – like Adrianna herself – the cottage holds secrets. And when Adrianna finds a mysterious bundle of notes hidden under a floorboard, she can’t shake the idea that they’ve been waiting for her. Especially when – in the rambling, overgrown garden – she then finds a strangely-carved stone, drawing her into a centuries-old mystery… 1646: Between her work as the village midwife and the medicines she sells from her cottage, Ursula has no need for a man. But this ideal leaves her unprotected in a world where just one accusation of witchcraft can mean certain death.

Room Zero - James Douglas Cover Art

Room Zero

Room Zero by James Douglas

Some rooms are meant to be empty. Some doors are never meant to be opened. And Room Zero was never supposed to exist. Jack Bennett has spent his career investigating claims, uncovering lies, and separating carefully staged deception from the truth. He knows people will go to extraordinary lengths for money, and when a mysterious disappearance leads him to the Grand Regent Hotel, he expects to find another elaborate scheme hiding behind stories of unexplained events. Then he learns about Room 000. It doesn't appear on the hotel's floor plans. Employees give conflicting answers about whether it exists. Records disappear. Memories change. Elevators stop on floors that shouldn't be there, doors lead to places that cannot exist, and people vanish without leaving behind an explanation. Jack refuses to believe in ghosts. He's seen magic shows. He's investigated fraud. He understands how easily people can be manipulated into believing something impossible has happened. Maybe the Grand Regent is using its dark reputation to attract attention. Maybe someone is manufacturing disappearances for insurance money. Maybe everything surrounding Room Zero is nothing more than smoke, mirrors, and carefully planned deception. But every answer Jack uncovers creates another question. As he digs deeper into the hotel's past, he discovers old records, missing guests, forgotten rooms, and disturbing connections that reach much further back than anyone wants to admit. Soon Jack is no longer investigating Room Zero from the outside. He has entered it. And Room Zero does not follow the rules of the world Jack knows. Hallways change. People return differently. Time refuses to behave. Jack encounters things that appear to know him, versions of events that cannot all be true, and doors that seem to lead somewhere beyond anything he can explain. The deeper he goes, the more dangerous one question becomes: What if Room Zero isn't haunted? What if it is something far worse? Jack knows he has to keep his mind strong. He has to question everything he sees without allowing the impossible to convince him that it is real. Most importantly, he has to remember why he entered in the first place. People are missing. Someone has to bring them home. But Jack is about to discover that escaping Room Zero may not mean leaving it behind. And some doors don't close just because you walk away. ROOM ZERO: A Jack Bennett Thriller is a dark supernatural mystery and psychological thriller filled with unexplained disappearances, impossible rooms, shifting realities, and a terrifying mystery that refuses to provide an easy answer. Once you check in, you may never look at a hotel room the same way again.

Growing Things and Other Stories - Paul Tremblay Cover Art

Growing Things and Other Stories

Growing Things and Other Stories by Paul Tremblay

A New York Times Notable Book Winner of the Bram Stoker Award "One of the best collections of the 21st century." — Stephen King A chilling collection of psychological suspense and literary horror from the multiple award-winning author of the national bestseller The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts. A masterful anthology featuring nineteen pieces of short fiction, Growing Things is an exciting glimpse into Paul Tremblay’s fantastically fertile imagination. In “The Teacher,” a Bram Stoker Award nominee for best short story, a student is forced to watch a disturbing video that will haunt and torment her and her classmates’ lives. Four men rob a pawn shop at gunpoint only to vanish, one-by-one, as they speed away from the crime scene in “The Getaway.” In “Swim Wants to Know If It’s as Bad as Swim Thinks,” a meth addict kidnaps her daughter from her estranged mother as their town is terrorized by a giant monster . . . or not. Joining these haunting works are stories linked to Tremblay’s previous novels. The tour de force metafictional novella “Notes from the Dog Walkers” deconstructs horror and publishing, possibly bringing in a character from A Head Full of Ghosts, all while serving as a prequel to Disappearance at Devil’s Rock. “The Thirteenth Temple” follows another character from A Head Full of Ghosts—Merry, who has published a tell-all memoir written years after the events of the novel. And the title story, “Growing Things,” a shivery tale loosely shared between the sisters in A Head Full of Ghosts, is told here in full. From global catastrophe to the demons inside our heads, Tremblay illuminates our primal fears and darkest dreams in startlingly original fiction that leaves us unmoored. As he lowers the sky and yanks the ground from beneath our feet, we are compelled to contemplate the darkness inside our own hearts and minds.

Most would treasure living in one of the grandest old homes in the famous historic district of Charleston, but Jayne Smith would rather sell hers as soon as possible, guaranteeing Melanie a quick commission.   Despite her stroke of luck, Melanie can’t deny that spirits—both malevolent and benign—have started to show themselves to her again. One is shrouded from sight, but appears whenever Jayne is near. Another arrives when an old cistern is discovered in Melanie’s backyard on Tradd Street.   Melanie knows nothing good can come from unearthing the past. But some secrets refuse to stay buried....
