A supernatural horror thriller
splattered with dark humor in the vein of Grady Hendrix (My Best Friend’s
Exorcism
), Stranger Things, Welcome to Night Vale, Supernatural, and
the Midnight, Texas series (Charlaine Harris), DOOR TO
DOOR, NIGHT BY NIGHT Vol. 1: A World Full of Monsters 
tells the tale
of a traveling sales team who find that once certain doors open, they are
impossible to close.

SALES PEOPLE BY DAY. MONSTER HUNTERS BY NIGHT.

It’s 1987, and the Heritage Mills sales team travels from town to town,
knocking on doors. They’re the best at what they do… which also means they’re
the worst. They’re broken, each and every one of them, haunted by closets so
full of skeletons, they’re bursting. When they discover a terrible secret
behind one fateful door, it opens their eyes to a world full of real monsters
hidden in every small town.

Knock, knock. What’s there? Open the door if you dare…

From all-star creators, writer Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, The Last Book
You’ll Ever Read
) and artist Sally Cantirino (I Walk With Monsters,
Human Remains
) comes the story of a motley crew going to battle against
supernatural evil throughout the American South.

For fans of the devilishly delicious blend of nostalgic horror and dark humor,
small town secrets, moonlight fright, Stranger Things, Welcome to Night
Vale,
 My Best Friend’s Exorcism, IT, Summer of Night, The
Pallbearer’s Club, The Autumnal, Proctor Valley Road, Gideon Falls, The Boys,
B.P.R.D.,
 and Something Is Killing the Children.

Volume 1 collects issues #1-4 of the smash 12-issue series!

MY REVIEW

Supernatural horror. I’m in for that. And there’s plenty of it in this book. Along with a cast of nice and not so nice characters. And it’s filled with action displayed in colorful, awesome graphics.

A group of door to door sales people find so much more than just some customers who slam doors in their face. They discover that monsters are real. And this is where the story takes off. You know that scene where there’s a creepy house and you know they shouldn’t go near it? Well, this group of individuals don’t take the missing person’s posters plastered all over it seriously and they enter. Normally this would have me screaming, “Don’t you watch horror movies, guys?” But nope, I was all for finding out what was inside myself. And boy did they, and me. From then on it’s bloody good fun.

Do I want to read about these characters again? Yes. And the good news is there is more coming. Can’t wait.

A Dead End Job

by Justin Alcala

Synopsis

Fans of Terry Pratchett and Shane Kuhn’s THE INTERN’S HANDBOOK will love this noir supernatural thriller.

Death needs a vacation. Badly. But there’s a catch: There are people who cheat the system, always falling through the cracks and not dying like they’re supposed to. Who’s going to take care of them while Death’s sipping on sangria?

The answer is simple: Death needs an intern, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that one prospect, Buck Palasinski,-a bankrupt hitman with a roleplaying addiction-might have what it takes. While scoping out his next target, Buck gets drilled in the forehead by a bullet and falls right into Death’s lap.

If they shove him back into his body, he’ll have a few weeks to prove that he has what it takes to be Death’s right-hand.

All he has to do is take out Public Enemy No. 1, John Dillinger, and quit smoking.

Enjoy this peek inside:

The apartment door swung open, and Death hurried out with white badges and a sharpie in his hand. On his chest was an ivory sticker with a label that read “Hello, my name is.” Written in underneath was ‘The Big Cheese’ in handwritten letters. Death peeled another label off its backing and carefully handed it to Jumbo. It read “Hello, my name is: Jumbo the I.T. Guy.”

“You’re joking.” Jumbo patted the label on his shirt.

“This is new hire orientation.” Death handed me a sticker that spelled out Hello, my name is: Buchanan Palasinski. Underneath in all caps it said, I’m an applicant, which was underlined three times and topped with a frowny face. Death took a step back and inspected us. “Perfect. Okay, you can come in now.” Death whirled around and hurried back into his apartment.

“Well, man.” Jumbo grinned. “If you thought the boat ride was strange, just wait until you see Death’s apartment.” Jumbo pushed the joystick on his controls forward and the chair wheeled through the door. I took one last look down the endless apartment hall, half expecting The Shining twins to appear. I needed another smoke, but I didn’t think that Death would approve. Instead, I looked up at the ceiling and took a few deep breaths. Whatever I saw in here, I’d need to be ready. I took two brisk steps forward and entered Death’s apartment.

The One Apart
by Justine Avery
Genre:Fantasy, Supernatural Thriller
Only one obstacle stands in his
way of enjoying a normal life. He remembers—every life he’s lived
before.
Tres is about to be born… with the
biggest burden any has ever had to bear. He is beginning again—as
an ageless adult trapped in an infant body.
He and his teenage mother face life
filled with extraordinary challenges as they strive to protect,
nurture, and hide how truly different he is. But Tres alone must
solve the greatest mystery of all: who is he? The answer is linked to
the one question he’s too afraid to ask: why am I?
In his quest, Tres discovers that all
is considerably more interconnected and dynamic than he could ever
imagine—and fraught with far more danger. He cannot hide from the
unseen threat stalking him since his birth.
Life as he knows it—as all know it—is
in peril. And Tres is the only one aware.
Justine Avery is
an award-winning author of stories large and small for all.
Born in the American Midwest and raised all over the world, she is
inherently an explorer, duly fascinated by everything around her and
excitedly noting the stories that abound all around. As an avid
reader of all genres, she weaves her own stories among them all. She
has a predilection for writing speculative fiction and story twists
and surprises she can’t even predict herself.
Avery has either
lived in or explored all 50 states of the union, over 36 countries,
and all but one continent; she lost count after moving 30-some times
before the age of 20. She’s intentionally jumped out of
airplanes and off the highest bungee jump in New Zealand, scuba dived
unintentionally with sharks, designed websites, intranets, and
technical manuals, bartered with indigenous Panamanians, welded
automobile frames, observed at the Bujinkan Hombu Dojo in Noba,
Japan, and masterminded prosperous internet businesses—to name a
few adventures. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree that life has
never required, and at age 28, she sold everything she owned and quit
corporate life—and her final “job”—to freelance and travel
the world as she always dreamed of. And she’s never looked back.
 Aside from
her native English, Avery speaks a bit of Japanese and a bit more
Spanish, her accent is an ever-evolving mixture of Midwestern
American with notes of the Deep South and indiscriminate British
vocabulary and rhythm, and she says “eh”—like the Kiwis, not
the Canadians. She currently lives near Los Angeles with her husband,
British film director Devon Avery, and their three adopted children:
Becks, Sam, and Lia. She writes from wherever her curiosity takes
her.
Avery loves to
connect with fellow readers and creatives, explorers and imaginers,
and cordially invites you to say “hello”—or konnichiwa.

Obsidian Son
The Nate Temple Chronicles Book 1
By Shayne Silvers
Genre: Supernatural Thriller

A city that doesn’t believe in magic. Bloodthirsty weredragons. Good

thing this reckless playboy has superpowers…

It’s been said that monsters cry when a good man goes to war. But they

should run screaming like little school girls when that man is

secretly a wizard, and maybe not necessarily good…

Nate Temple’s all-consuming quest to avenge his parents is temporarily

put on hold when shape-shifting dragons invade St. Louis. And perhaps

cow-tipping the Minotaur for answers might not have been Nate’s

smartest opening move, because now every flavor of supernatural thug

from our childhood nightmares is gunning for him. Nate learns that

the only way to save his city from these creatures is to murder his

best friend…

Nate’s choice will throw the world and his own conscience into cataclysmic

chaos: avenge his parents or become a murderer to save his city.

Because to do either, he’s going to have to show the world that

magic is very, very real, and that monsters are very, very hungry…

To survive, he might just need to take a page from the book, How to

Win Friends and Influence Monsters.

If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, or Patrick Rothfuss, you will

LOVE the first installment of The Nate Temple Supernatural Thriller

series.

 .
Blood Debts
The Nate Temple Chronicles Book 2
A Wizard, an Angel, and a Horseman of the Apocalypse walk into a bar…

The ancient pact between mankind, Heaven, and Hell has been broken. And

this upstart wizard’s quest for vengeance may have just kicked off

Armageddon. So, time for a drink… or maybe two.

Already plagued with sinister night terrors that could qualify him as a

card-carrying psychopathic insomniac, Nate can barely even manage to

put his pants on in the morning, let alone pick teams for the

Apocalypse.

But when he’s framed as a demon sympathizer, condemned by the Armies of

Heaven, and hunted down by both his allies and the Four Horsemen,

this wizard doesn’t think it can get any worse…

Then they take away his magic. And a wizard without magic stands no chance

against the forces of Heaven and Hell…

.
Grimm
The Nate Temple Chronicles Book 3

The Brothers Grimm – legendary supernatural assassins – have escaped

their prison, and their first day in St. Louis could be Nate Temple’s

last…

Sharing a beer with Death – one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse –

really put a few things into perspective for this foul-mouthed,

billionaire wizard. Like finally strapping on the boots to propose to

his girlfriend.

But assassination contracts have a way of putting wedding plans on hold.

Perhaps permanently. And with the entire wedding party on the

bloodthirsty Grimm’s hit-list, and his family fortune in jeopardy,

Nate realizes they can’t run and they can’t hide. So, time to do

magic and stuff…

But with every flavor of supernatural thug teaming up to help the Grimms,

Nate realizes that friends have become enemies and enemies have

become friends, and he’s forced to cross lines that are better left

uncrossed.

When magic, claws, and teeth dance to the song of war, the only thing left

to learn is who lives and who dies. And if Nate can live with the

consequences.

No wonder a guy is terrified to propose…
 .
Silver Tongue
The Nate Temple Chronicles Book 4

My resume is pretty full: I’ve cow-tipped the Minotaur, decimated a

gang of weredragons, sucker-punched an Angel, and eaten pancakes with

the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse…

I’ve kidnapped one of the most powerful wizards on the planet, and

slaughtered the Brothers Grimm. I’m kind of a big deal.

But I never thought I’d find myself at a crossroads, a pawn in a deadly

game that I hadn’t known existed, willing to sell my soul to save

the life of someone I loved… That’s when I learned true fear,

because the world I thought I knew was all just smoke and mirrors,

and I was just a puppy playing amongst wolves…

 .
Beast Master
The NateTemple Chronicles Book 5

What do you do for Thanksgiving Dinner when your guests are Death, an

Angel, and a slew of other monsters? You have a nerf gun war, of

course… But the Queens of Fae want to crash his party. And the

Beast Master is abducting shifter children for a Monster Circus.

Thanksgiving Dinner plans with Death, an Angel, a vampire, Achilles, and a slew of

other monsters are cut short because a Monster Circus has come to

town. And the Beast Master needs new Monsters for his show…

But the Queens of Fae also want a little deep-fried wizard for the

holidays.

Oh, and Nate is losing that last finger-hold on his

sanity: hallucinating, and talking to creatures that no one else can

see. The ancient demon inside of him is getting stronger, fighting

for dominance, and only one of them can survive.

But when a wizard curses Nate, extorting him to rescue a lethal Chimera child

from the Beast Master’s Circus, Nate’s only option is to partner

with his inner demon, risking his very soul. But his friends begin to

doubt and fear this new, darker Nate, taking matters into their own

hands – even when that means standing against him.

With allies turned enemies, the Fae breathing down his neck, and a

dangerous child’s life on the line, Nate must call upon, bully, and

coerce new storybook legends and gods to save his traitorous friends

from becoming the Beast Master’s next victims…

Discover what – if anything – Nate is willing to sacrifice to save the

friends who betrayed him…

.

Shayne is a man of mystery and power, whose power is exceeded only by his

mystery. In other words, a storyteller.

He currently writes the Nate Temple Supernatural Thriller Series, which

features a foul-mouthed young wizard with a chip on his shoulder

attempting to protect St. Louis from the various nasties we all know

and fear from our childhood bedtime stories. Nate’s been known to

suckerpunch an Angel, cow-tip the Minotaur, and steal Death’s horse

in order to prove his point. His utter disregard for consequences and

self-preservation will have you laughing and cringing on the edge of

your seat.

Shayne holds two high-ranking black belts, and enjoys conversing about

anything Marvel, Magical, or Mythological. You might find him writing

in a coffee shop near you, cackling madly into his computer screen

while pounding shots of espresso.
