Excerpts

The Pale House Devil: Excerpt and Cover Reveal!

Richard Kadrey

"It was his job to kill the living. Ford killed the dead."


The Drift

C. J. Tudor

"Even if the car started moving, even if they reached their destination, they were not going to be fine."


Unnatural History

Jonathan Kellerman

"When I go to crime scenes, I’m ready to focus on terrible things."


My Father’s House

Joseph O’Connor

"The bell tolls eleven. She feels it in her teeth. Wind harangues the chained-up tables and chairs outside a café, wheezing through the arrow-tipped railings."


The Intern: First Look and Cover Reveal

Michele Campbell

"The opportunity was just too good to pass up."


The Bell in the Fog: Excerpt and Cover Reveal

Lev AC Rosen

"There’s a crowd at the bar when I get inside, but I hang back, alone, and watch."


Madam Tomahawk

Nick Kolakowski

"The humid air pulsed with music from a thousand open windows, the live bands in every bar fighting a sonic Ragnarök with the tunes blasting from the cars crawling the 18th Street drag, all of it smashing into a thunderhead of drums and bass you could hear from a half-mile away, beckoning the city’s drunks and partiers: head to Adams Morgan, where all your needs can be satisfied, and all your bad decisions will be washed away tomorrow morning along with the crushed beer cans and half-eaten jumbo slices."


Decent People

De’Shawn Charles Winslow

'“They’re dead. Somebody shot ’em in their house.” Nate had just delivered the news as though telling her what he’d had for breakfast.'


The Centre: Excerpt and Cover Reveal!

Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi

"Completely unaware of the true nature of what I’d signed up for, I waited impatiently for their call."


Observer

Robert Lanza and Nancy Kress

"Every time an observation is made—by humans, dogs, elephants—the universe holds the possibility of other branches of itself, with all other possible outcomes of that observation.”
