The Bone Tree:
Above a Civil War graveyard in the backwoods of Texas, Kevin and Bobby’s treehouse was their haven against the world. But the day Tom Plecker comes screaming through the creek below, terrified of a shadow man, that all changes. Walking Tom home they see it — the tree, its branches twisted like the pain-wracked frame of a fleshless corpse, knotty snarls of bone-white wood clawing the sky. The Bone Tree is more than a stark, twisted visage. It’s alive, and it's gaining power. When the shadow men come to call on the boys, they must fight a supernatural force they barely understand…

The Midnight Order:
To say ex-porn star Nikki Lane has led a troubled life is putting it mildly. She’s abused every human vice from here to Hell and back again—she’s given herself to men, alcohol, drugs and pain. But now she’s ready to face her demons, to snatch her life back from the dark pit of depravity.

Looking for a place to get away from it all, Nikki seeks the advice of an old friend who belongs to an exclusive group of recovering individuals called the Midnight Order, who promise to siphon the evil from her very soul in a remote castle on the East Coast.

But at nightfall, the paradise transforms into a bleak fortress of horror when the Order convenes its secret cleansing ceremonies. And the chilling price is more than Nikki’s willing to give as she’s forced to face her greatest demon yet.

What stalks the halls of the castle, the cliffs of the island, and the shores of the beach? What cruel payment is demanded from…the Midnight Order?

Black Mercy Falls:
The small Colorado town of Black Mercy Falls has a ghastly past.

The massive waterfall above the town runs thick with black iron oxide, but there are hushed suggestions that something evil is responsible for the dark waters. Whispers of the locals connect a list of missing children with a diabolical tale of the town's founding father. Is the waterfall haunted? Or is the town cursed by something that stalks its children by night?

Now the waterfall and the land it's on are bequeathed to Lance Evans by his estranged uncle. But when Lance brings his wife and son to explore the inheritance, they scarcely have a chance to marvel at its beauty and settle in to the rustic cabin than good fortune is overshadowed by tragedy. Mists of the past enshroud a dark legacy that threatens to take the lives of those he loves. It'll take all he can do to save them or die trying.

Blood Coven:
On the filthy streets of Victorian London's East End, a centuries-old evil is amassing its forces. Only one man stands in its way: a legendary vampire killer called The Catcher. Trained from childhood by a secret society, he's fast, efficient, and deadly. He's also totally on his own, working undercover in the darkest quarter of the city, facing the closest thing to death he's ever known.

"Blood Coven is an action packed ride as good battles evil and fangs fight knives in a last-man-standing free-for-all between the brood of an ancient vampire queen and the deadliest vampire killer in all London. Lots of fun for those with a taste for bloody adventure."
--Robert Weinberg, Arkham House editor and author of Vampire: The Masquerade of the Red Death

(This novella was previously published in 2007 by Dead Letter Press in a limited print edition of 100 copies, plus an exclusive lettered edition. The text has not been modified from the original edition.)

Elderwood Manor:
Things fall apart—Bruce Davenport knows this all too well.

On the heels of his wife's death, laid-off and penniless with an eviction notice on the door, the only thing left for him and his four-year-old son Cody is Bruce's childhood home, secluded deep within Ozark forests, haunted by the ghosts of his past.

After he receives a strange phone call from his dying mother, who has lived alone in the house for the past 15 years, Bruce reluctantly returns to the estate with his son.

But they soon find that something else dwells in the home, in the earth, in the woods. Unseen things are out for vengeance and blood. If they can survive the night, they may just find out what truly lies within the walls of…Elderwood Manor.

Night Wraith:
Something inhuman is slaughtering teens in the small town of Carson Lake. Police Chief Gavin Wagner knows more than he wants to admit, but when he can no longer deny that a secret from his past compels the thing that stalks the night, Gavin must face the truth or lose everything he loves.

Years ago, Gavin protected his daughter Carly from the full truth about her mother's suicide. Talk of covens and the occult wouldn't have done his little girl any good in her time of grief. He did it to help them heal, to help them move on. But now that Carly has blossomed into a beautiful young woman, dark forces have awakened, and his omission of truth may cost them their lives.

As Gavin strives to end the growing horror, desperately seeking people and clues that have disappeared beneath shrouds of mystery, Carly's world is shaken, astir with strange manifestations, ghostly visitations, and the allure of witchcraft. Gavin must overcome his personal demons and find the answers he seeks in time to save them all from the thing that's coming, reaching out from beyond, lurking in black shadows, hungry for blood and revenge . . .

Shamian Gate:
For centuries Shamian Gate has waited. Legends say that a scroll of powerful magic was hidden beyond the gate in order to protect the world from the disaster that would occur should this power fall into the wrong hands. Only one key can unlock Shamian Gate. Throughout the ages, an order of monks has searched China for this key so the gate could be unlocked, and the secrets of the scroll revealed.

Traveling to the Anhui Province, Jeff and Ashley Russell know nothing about this key or the gate, but the two Americans find themselves thrust into the midst of an ancient mystery when they adopt a Chinese orphan. Trapped in the heart of red China with no one to trust, they struggle to stay alive and save the boy they traveled so far and waited so long to call 'son'. Drawn into the legend’s black shadow, menaced by the secret order, only one thing can save them—and the world—from the horrors that lie in wait beyond the Shamian Gate.

Sorrow Creek:
The name of Sorrow Creek Plantation should have been Max and Cassi Gautreaux’s first clue. The chilling inscription on the old rebel Captain's crypt in the cemetery on their property should have warned them away. Nevertheless, they’re committed to the cause of refurbishing the old home, especially in the wake of Max’s nervous breakdown, which drove them into the backwoods to seek a quieter life. But when they discover a cache of decaying baby items hidden away in a wall with the name Magdalena on a yellowed scrap of paper, things start to happen. Unspeakable things.

Now, Max and Cassi are drawn into a tangled web of mystery, murder, ghosts and deceit. Voodoo stirs the mists of the Louisiana swamps, drawing them deeper into the scarred and haunted heart of the bayou, to face the darkest secrets of Sorrow Creek.

The Devil Behind Me:
Alex Brandt’s life is the stuff of lore and legend, but not the fairytale one would welcome. The sole survivor of the Krampusnacht Massacre, Alex was shipped away to America on the heels of tragedy. Childhood trauma followed him to an adulthood plagued with fear and self-doubt. The horror of his past affects him so deeply each holiday season that his girlfriend urges him to resolve his issues once and for all.

Seeking closure to the Christmas tragedy, with the help of his uncle and a retired German police officer, Alex returns to the scene of the crime in Bavaria. But what lurks in the Alpine darkness on the snow-swept mountain slopes knows Alex has come back, and it’s seeking some closure of its own…

"Fulbright and Hawkes bite all the way to the bone!"- Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Fall of Night and Marvel Universe vs. The Avengers

"Required reading for the discerning horror connoisseur." - Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award winner and author of The Savage Dead

"Fulbright and Hawkes don't deliver the devil's child, exactly, here...but they do deliver something deliciously wicked: a bloody good read!" - John Everson, Bram Stoker Award winner and author of Violet Eyes

Then Comes The Child:
A new horror novella from Christopher Fulbright and Angeline Hawkes. "With Then Comes the Child, Angeline Hawkes and Christopher Fulbright pull off something of a magic trick; not only have they created a story of extreme horror that would make Brian Keene and Clive Barker wince in more than a few places, they have taken some very familiar horror tropes and turned them inside-out, making the so-called 'old-hat' seem new and fresh and vibrant -- and vibrancy permeates this suspenseful, erotic, horrific, and unsettlingly feverish novella. If all extreme horror had this much grace, style, and intelligence, I'd read a hell of a lot more of it." --Gary A. Braunbeck
