A Dark & Demented Anthology: Horror Blinks (Vol. 1) by Nina Hobson

Come one come all! Enter a place where socks have feelings, your name can truly change your life, and family is all that matters. All these and more await you on our first stop in this dark & demented world.

If you like the creepiness of “Tales from the Crypt,” Rod Serling’s unsettling, “Twilight Zone,” and the deranged speculative fiction of the iconic, cult-like favorite, “Weird Tales™,” then you’ll love the EPISODIC, CLASSIC, DARK FANTASY, SCIENCE FICTION AND SOFT HORROR STORYTELLING in Nina Hobson’s Horror Blinks Collection.

P.S. Dear Reader, after you’ve downloaded this alarmingly disturbed book, open it up to discover how to get another of my books…”A Dark & Demented Anthology: Horror Shorts (Vol. 1)” free, also.

About the author, Nina Hobson:

Homeless mother of four and grandmother of five, (I’d probably have more but it seems my youngest son is dragging his feet), I have been a computer instructor, online book proofreader/editor, pre-k teacher’s assistant and a nursing school project assistant. Currently, I live in Ohio and am a dog person through and through but as yet have no dogs but when I get them it will be four senior shelter ones.

My interests vary and are numerous such as reading cozy mysteries, cooking & baking and watching horror movies (Jason Vorhees is my all time favorite psycho killer). Not to mention, I have a bucket list a mile long, however, I can now scratch being a self-published author of speculative fiction or what I like to call, “soft horror,” off of it.

Soft horror is what I refer to as horror’s softer side. It’s not too graphic, scary or intense for I have a deep love of monsters that show compassion…even though they’ll still rip your guts out and feed on them if the occasion calls for it. Classic horror is a satisfying indulgence but it doesn’t have to always be horrific to be enjoyable. For instance, zombies no longer simply lumber about, they can now flat-out run (Dawn of the Dead (2004)), hold down jobs (iZombie), lead a group of their own (Land of the Dead) and even cooperate with humans to an extent (Z Nation).

?I imagine monsters of all sorts hang onto a bit of their humanity – even if they don’t wear it on their sleeves. Monsters that retain some of their human characteristics and fiction that borders on the fringe of societal norms (such as my Dark & Demented Anthology Collection – that may touch on “delicate” matters) may not be everyone’s cup of tea. In fact, I dare say we that do enjoy it are on the fringe of the horror society. And that’s okay because I know there are others out there besides myself out that share these views so to those…welcome my sisters and brothers to fiction our way.

At present I have three different series: Tainted Blood, Lord Love a Zombie: Dead Inside: Welcome (LLAZDIW) and The Ghoul Who Loved Me (TGWLM). TGWLM is especially close to my heart because it features all of my grandchildren as minor characters and while writing this novella, I had to keep starting over as new grandkids were born at different times during. I based their characters on how I figured they would be as teenagers. I believe I am spot on but only time will tell.

In addition, I’m also the author of two separate sets of Dark & Demented anthologies. You can check out all my books here and please leave a comment (or a review) on Amazon or any of the other book-selling platforms if you’re feeling particularly generous.

His Lover from Long Ago: A Time Travel Romance by Caro Carson

From the doomed court of Camelot to a pirate ship off the coast of Cornwall, get swept away by this time travel romance from RITA™ Award winner Caro Carson.

Kayna of Tintagel can read and write, making her a valuable member of Queen Guinevere’s household, a maiden who will make a fine bride for a knight. But as Kayna reaches a marriageable age, King Arthur lies dying and dark times threaten Briton. Her father’s last command is meant to protect her from the coming wars: follow Guinevere to a nunnery. Before being locked away from the world—before being consigned to a life of eternal virginity—Kayna grasps one last chance to change her fate.

Merlin’s magic is not meant for her, however, and Kayna is flung far into the future, landing on a pirate ship in the unimaginably advanced year of 1742. She is unable to speak modern English, unused to the advanced technology of the eighteenth century, and unfamiliar with the odd customs of the new millennium. Only the ship’s captain, a man who would surely be a warrior in her own century, can make her feel safe and secure.

It’s been years since Captain Griffin Dennehay left the Royal Navy for greater fame and fortune as a pirate. He knows he is nothing like a noble Knight of the Round Table, but this fascinating woman from the past seems to think he’s her protector. The greatest danger lies in the passion that flares between them as they share his captain’s quarters, for if Kayna is to have any kind of future in his century, she must remain untouched until she becomes some honorable man’s virgin bride. Griffin knows he is not that man. The former naval officer has just enough honor left to deny them both the desires of their bodies, but can any amount of honor conquer the desires of a pirate’s heart?

This novella is a stand-alone, complete romance, but it can be enjoyed with its companion story, HER PIRATE FROM THE PAST.

This novella is available in paperback as one of four romances in the Jewel Box anthology, CHARMED BY A RUBY.

About the author, Caro Carson:

Despite a no-nonsense background as a West Point graduate and U.S. Army officer, Caro Carson has always treasured the happily-ever-after of a good romance novel. After her military service, she worked in the healthcare industry with a Fortune 100 company, talking science with doctors who were rarely handsome bachelor Texans like the doctors in her books. Now a RITA™-award-winning author, Caro is delighted to be living her own happily-ever-after with her husband (who is a handsome Texan) and their two children. They live in the great state of Florida, a location which has saved the coaster-loving theme park fanatics a fortune on plane tickets.

He needed a fake girlfriend on his arm, but he got a real lover in his bed, and if they aren’t careful, their passion may just sweep them away.

Dana, newly fired from her position at Parker Industries, has no issues telling her former boss, one delicious Cole Parker, just what she thinks of him.

In his arms, the lines between reality and role – blur, and they find themselves falling in love, but when she discovers the real reason why he needed a fake girlfriend, he’ll need more than money to get her back.

About the Author of the Billionaire Parker Brothers series, Kayla C. Oliver:

Want a free copy of “Temptation” which is the prequel to “The Billionaire Parker Brothers” series (no strings attached)? This book is exclusive to my free readers club, go.kaylacoliver.com/gettemptation

Those who know me say I need two things to survive: coffee and a good book.

I love discovering secluded places where I can hide myself for months and write, not bothered by anyone. That’s where majority of my books were written. Somewhere in the middle of Amazon rainforest, Patagonian steppes or on the beach in Hawaii. There’s nothing more romantic than sound and power of pounding water… that’s my muse.

In her other existence, Eve Moran has worked as an English lecturer and a motorsport journalist. She has also been involved in developing a series of interactive children’s books.

Ingrained (The Thuis Series Book 1) by Eve Moran

In Thuis, no one is above the rules.

Officially, Thuis is ruled by the panel, but the true power is held by the committee. They control from a sedentary position, monitoring everything.

As the keeper, it’s Patriz’s responsibility to ensure that the rules are being kept. Sanctions are applied for any breaches – no excuses, no exceptions.

Not even when his own family are breaking the rules.

Tension is rising in Thuis. The panel has been receiving anonymous threats, which is making the leader, Mal, more paranoid than usual. His accusations are relentless, and most of them are directed at Patriz’s sister, Olla. It’s Olla’s son, Connor, who Mal really resents, though. Connor will be his successor, and Mal is determined to prove that he’s unworthy.

Knowing that Mal is trying to gather evidence of Connor flouting the rules, Patriz is keeping a very close eye on his nephew. But he’s so busy monitoring Connor that he misses something crucial.

He fails to notice that Olla’s in over her head.

About the author, Eve Moran:

Eve Moran is a pseudonym.

In her other existence, Eve has worked as an English lecturer and a motorsport journalist. She has also been involved in developing a series of interactive children’s books.

In the past, Eve studied dystopian literature, and this remains one of her key interests. Particular favourites in this genre are We by Yevgeny Zamyatin and 1984 by George Orwell.

Eve enjoys reading fantasy novels, but they must have their roots in reality. It’s the character development that really interests her and draws her into the story. She prefers flawed characters to the archetypal hero or heroine. Her favourite authors in this genre are Neil Gaiman and Naomi Novik.

Eve has some books that will always be special to her. Out of the classics, she loves Bronte’s Wuthering Heights and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. She also adores Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mocking Bird and Capote’s In Cold Blood. Her favourite authors include Chevy Stevens, Alice Sebold, Hugh Howey, Mo Hayder, Maria Snyder, John Saul, and Margaret Atwood.
