Daniel Masenda thought he had made peace with his dark past when he left his home for a better life fourteen years ago. As the mayor of a small, tranquil town along Virginia's Eastern Shore, Daniel has everything he ever wanted - until a series of haunting visions, coupled with the death of his estranged mother, pits him against two ghostly entities at war with one another. Each has its own agenda as they force Daniel to relive moments from his violent youth and push him to the edge of insanity. As his idyllic life begins to unravel, will he be able to decipher the message behind the hauntings before they destroy, not only him, but the soul of someone he left behind?

The gods have returned. All of them! The change promised by the ending of the Mayan Calendar in 2012 manifested itself in an unexpected manner. Every pantheon of gods and goddesses, from every belief the world over, has returned ... changing the world forever. As the pantheons settle into their ancestral lands, they vie for worshippers, gaining or losing power along the way. They find the world of man a bewildering, crazy quilt, and each wishes to remake their lands in their own image. Come and meet some of the inhabitants of this strangely familiar world in eleven new tales that explore what it means to worship in this new reality. A Knight Templar hunting mysteries. A rookie pitcher with a unique belief system. A wounded solider returned to battle by a goddess. A reporter who isn’t sure what to believe. A homicide detective on the Manhattan beat. A man out to kill the gods. A single father trying to survive in a world without Santa Claus. And many more! Chronicling this new tomorrow are Dave Galanter, Allyn Gibson, Phil Giunta, Robert Greenberger, Paul Kupperberg, William Leisner, Scott Pearson, Aaron Rosenberg, Lawrence M. Schoen, Dayton Ward, and Steven H. Wilson. Join them and discover a world where everything old is new again—even the gods themselves.

In ReDeus: Divine Tales, the gods returned to us. All of them. Now, in ReDeus: Beyond Borders, see just what that means for the nations of the world—and the people living in them. Everything has not necessarily turned out for the best, especially in some lands. Nor is it all bad. But with so many gods vying for worship, there’s some interesting jockeying going on, for lands and for people. It’s a vastly different world the gods have returned to, and their efforts to re-assert themselves have forced mortals into a complicated, ever-changing struggle to live and provide for their families. Returning to ReDeus alongside series creators Robert Greenberger, Paul Kupperberg, and Aaron Rosenberg are Phil Giunta, William Leisner, Scott Pearson, Lawrence M. Schoen, and Steven H. Wilson. Joining us for the first time are Lorraine Anderson, Kelly Meding, Steve Lyons, David McDonald, and Janna Silverstein. All told, there are thirteen brand-new tales of what happens when the gods go . . . beyond borders.

Ghosts, Vampires, and American History...Firebringer Take Two combines Steven H. Wilson's vampire tale, FREEDOM'S BLOOD with Phil Giunta's paranormal mystery, LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTERS in the format of the classic double novel (read one story, flip the book over and read the other!).In LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTERS, fans and new readers will see the return of psychic-medium single mom Miranda Lorensen from Phil's previous novels (Testing the Prisoner and By Your Side)... and this time, she's bringing her daughter. Here's a quick blurb:After her lover is found murdered during a paranormal investigation, Andrea Lorensen is determined to find the killer--with some help from her lover's ghost. Meanwhile, her mother Miranda travels to Salem, Massachusetts where she reunites with the gentle spirit of a young woman executed for witchcraft in 1692. This time, however, the encounter reveals an astonishing truth about Miranda's past life--a truth that could kill her.But wait! There's more!You're a vampire, but you have an unyielding belief in the sanctity of the individual's rights. How do you survive, if you can't take blood without permission? And what do you do when someone offers you his blood... with strings attached? This humorous tale explores the ethics of being a vampire--or even just a creature that's gotta eat--against the background of a developing America. Starting out in Colonial Maryland and carrying on through the 21st Century, FREEDOM'S BLOOD will perhaps amuse, perhaps enrage, and will certainly introduce you to a vampire like none you've ever encountered.
