Boneseeker


Brynn Chapman - 2014

Henry Watson’s two-fold mission at the Mütter Museum is to join their team of forensic anthropologists in unearthing unusual antiquities and to watch over Arabella. If only he could get her to speak to him, instead of hurling knives in his general direction. Assigned to a most secret expedition to investigate a mysterious skeletal hand discovered in upstate New York, Arabella and Henry are soon caught in a scientific debate, and the search for the truth may have deadly consequences for those involved. Are the bones from a Neanderthal? Or are they living proof of fallen angels known as Nephilim?

Boogie House


T. Blake Braddy - 2014
    Now it’s a rotten, hollowed out shell of a building, the kind of place where murderers dump their victims. But that might not be all.

He’s even more surprised when the long-dead patrons get up and start partying in the middle of the night. Rolson McKane is no stranger to misery, but the shock of realizing the supernatural is real might just be too much for him. Don’t get him wrong: he’s been haunted his whole life, just not by ghosts. The son of a son of a long line of drunks, he’s managed to amass a whole house full of demons, and they’ve destroyed just about everything: his marriage, his job as a local cop, his fleeting good sense. Now that he’s no longer an officer of the law, Rolson has finally decided to do some actual police work. No one seems to be interested in the murder of Emmitt Laveau, save for Rolson himself, and his only allies are his bail bondsman, the woman he nearly killed, and the dead man who visits his dreams.
