Something in the woods up north is killing people. Something not quite animal, not quite human. Something terrifying. They stalk the night draining their victims and leaving behind a shrivelled husk.
When Sabrina unwittingly learns of the possibility of shape-shifters near her cabin in the woods, she enlists Jackson to help her learn more—but they get more than they bargained for. Snarling yellow-eyed horrors stalk the pair as they try to discover the truth. Can Jackson and Sabrina save themselves this time?
In this flashback to the first of the Hunter Knox adventures, Hunter reveals to Melonie (in bed, of course) how he became Hunter Knox and who Lorraine Who Wasn't was.
It all took place, he explains, aboard the HMS Hephaestus, a ship that has sunk a dozen times while under the command of Captain Agropoulos. In it we meet such memorable characters as First Purser Thougg Pfistic and the very dead Velbig Fossage, corpse about town, who manages to get himself bludgeoned, stabbed, strangled, poisoned, shot and variously murdered including being blown up.
Nearly everybody, therefore, becomes a suspect, including Lorraine Who Wasn't and the question becomes not one of Whodunit but Whodunitlast.
A typically bizarre Hunter Knox mystery, which also includes the first appearance of beloved preacher T. Keenly Shureglow and his rendition of "The Heavenly Ladder."

RARA IBIS:Fans of award-winning author Terry Sheils, rejoice! The master of quirky humor and puzzling mystery brings you RARA IBIS. In RARA IBIS, the newly married Vicki and Gareth Pendragon, Paranormal Private Investigators, find more adventure than they could ever want while on their honeymoon on the coast of Venezuela. They get involved with several people named Lorelan Barkus, a heroin smuggling ring, and a small stone ibis. Danger abounds...and not just because of the drugs!
BUTTERFLY HOUSE: Since the moment of Original Sin, man has been mortal, trapped in time, and able only to grasp tenuously at the concept of eternity. That is, unless that man has been able to study and practice the arcane seventh-century teachings of Agrippolos the Left-handed, notably his major work, The Chronomicon Novum. Then the Vast Unknowable is his. But man must beware; failure to master the teachings completely can result in a fate far worse than mere mortality.
Two strangers, a male sportswriter and a female student of the occult, buy a house together because, not in spite of, the fact that it is reputed to be haunted. In so doing, they become entangled in the history of the family who built the place to use as a venue for an experiment in controlling time. They also discover that the house now seems to have developed a life of its own, one which bears a distinct resemblance to the evil personality of the defrocked Seventh Century monk and his twisted philosophies on the nature of Sin and Eternity.

The ibis is the final piece of a necklace that will unlock an old shaman's mind--and some very nasty divine retribution. Amid sightseeing, sex on the beach, and searching for the real Lorelan, the Pendragons find themselves on a holiday that will test Vicki's psychic abilities and Pen's sexual prowess. Another hilarious Pendragon and Pendragon Paranormal Mystery.
In the snowy woods of Northern Ontario, two stories are fusing into one. One is contemporary; the other as old it seems as time itself.
In the first, twelve students are rehearsing Shakespeare's Macbeth during a freak snowstorm which has them trapped in their school and worrying about "the curse of the Scottish play" as it affects not only their production but their lives. Their fears are hardly allayed by their teachers who both have their private problems—one with a fear of accepting responsibility, the other with an irrational terror of blizzards.
One student in particular has the greatest cause to fear, for she knows that a vicious avenger known as the Storm Gatherer is stalking her. Her family long ago sinned against the rules of their ancient clan and she, as the last survivor, must now pay the price. The blizzard can only mean that the avenger has found her and the bloody end is near.
Thus the words—"Pine Hollow District High School has been deserted since that first Friday in December. Perhaps—some residents of nearby North Ridge say—for a day or two longer than that. No one alive knows for sure. And the dead may walk, but they aren't talking"—may serve equally as both an appropriate prologue and epilogue to If Thine Eye…
A dark, erotic historical murder mystery set in 1539. The story is told through the eyes of Rodrigo Aquilino, secretary to the Viceroy, Don Antonio de Mendoza. His mission is twofold. He must find the gold of the fabled Seven Cities of Antilla and discover the real story of the death of Estevanico who was the guide and in fact led the last expedition.
Estevanico...the black man was larger than life. One of his many admirers describes him as “tall, built like an Arabian stallion… sleek, glossy lithely muscled. He had a smile that would charm a lioness, eyes that swallowed your soul.” He wore his hair in long braids with dozens of copper bells woven in them” Of voracious sexual appetites, he was apparently irresistible to women and traveled with a harem of at least six young women.
Tremendously charismatic, he made friends and allies wherever he went; however, the clergy hated him and his habit of wearing copper bells on his person led many of the natives to fear that he was the Last Beast...the horrific destroyer, the Beast of the Bells.
Rodrigo’s innocence dissipates as he uncovers lies, torture, murder, even massacre in his quest for the truth. He is taught erotic pleasures by one of Estevanico’s lovers and ultimately finds himself capable of loving and of killing
DESCRIPTION: The Man who does not believe in Fate is the Man the Gods will test;
the Man who does not believe in Spirits, it is He whom they will visit.
In the beginning, Mason Forsythe didn't know how much the buying of his dream home would change his life. How it would challenge his deepest beliefs in what was, or, rather, what wasn't. He knew already that love could become hatred. What he didn't know, yet, was that it could also lead to fear. Had he known all that, he might never have bought the place. But, of course, he hadn't.
