Stoker Award winning author P.D. Cacek turns vampire fiction inside 
out in this wryly witty romp through the seamy underbelly of LA. Meet Allison Garret, 
thirtysomething, unlucky in love and life, waking up after a three day binge: alone again. 
Only now, she's a vampire without a clue about how to survive. It will take more than a 
night full of prayers to help her and her new sidekick, a Bible-thumping street corner 
preacher, when a catty coven of vengeful vamps target the both of them for destruction.

Kyle Marffin debuts with a provocative modern day retelling of 
Sheridan LeFanu's classic 19th century novella, resurrecting the genre's most notorious 
female vampire - the seductive Countess Carmilla Karnstein. Revealing her unwritten 
history while replaying the events of the original classic tale, Carmilla relentlessly stalks 
an unsuspecting victim through glittering city streets to the desolate northwoods, 
ultimately returning to the dark roots of her haunted Styrian homeland.

Erotica

Braxton Defoe once ruled the bestseller lists with his novels of calculating horror. But now he and his wife, Piper, have fled to the desolate backwoods of North Carolina with nothing left between them but a loveless marriage. And there they meet Ren, keeper of the legends, the Storyteller, who challenges Braxton Defoe and ignites passions that have laid dormant in Piper's heart. But an ancient evil lurks in the dark woods, a malevolent spirit from the Storyteller's darkest tale, possessing one weaver of tales and threatening the other and everyone he loves in a sinister and bloody battle for Piper's life...and a Storyteller's soul.

Storytellers

Parks, Julie Anne

They lurk among the shadows in grimy city alleys, they reveal themselves amidst humanity's own man-made horrors, they rise from the darkness in fog shrouded forests, they may even hide in the house right next door, sitting there beside us, mirroring our strangest dreams and our most terrifying nightmares, weaving their dark magic of sin and lust and delicious violence, just waiting to embrace us with their kiss of madness...their kiss of dark desire...their kiss of death.

Kiss Of Death

Inc., The Design Image Group

Step into the dark side of the darkwave. Join the children of the night--desperately hoping, dreaming, wishing for it all to be true, to become real: their songs, their books, their films, their role-playing games and all their fashionable flirtations and imagined supernatural power and dark romance. Oh please, be real... A city anxiously embraces the grand opening of Gothique. 'Nightclub Extraordinaire', mecca for the disaffected goth kids and decadent scene-makers. But a dark secret lurks behind Gothique's doors, where the evil is all too real, where a nightmare of bloodshed and something far worse than death is unleashed, where hopeless screams of despair are muffled by the relentless darkwave dance beat. Welcome to Gothique. You'll just die.

Gothique

A Modern-day Version of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. Amidst a gritty background of millennial urban nihilism, a young man bargains his soul away, while his painfully beautiful holographic portrait mirrors his each and every sin, each nightmarish step deeper into depravity...even cold blooded murder. A Face Without A Heart takes you on a thought provoking tour of the darkest sides of greed, lust, addiction and violence.

A Face Without a Heart: A Modern-Day Version of Oscar Wilde's the Picture of Dorian Gray

Bell, Book & Beyond

Meet Allison Garrett, the unluckiest gal who ever became a vampire, with an irreverently sharp tongue to go along with her sharp teeth. Meet her sidekick, Mica, a Bible-thumping street corner preacher. Both of them are on the run from the catty coven of L.A. strip-club vampire vixens they narrowly escaped from in P.D. Cacek's Stoker Award nominated debut novel Night Prayers. Hiding out in Las Vegas, Allison's now a night-shift showgirl, while Mica tries in vain to bring the good book to gamblers, crooks and hookers. And everything's as idyllic as it can be for a preacher and a vampire setting up house in sin city. 
Till the evil vampire that cruelly turned Allison shows up along with his bloodthirsty minions, and it'll take more than a gambler's luck to save Allison and Mica this time!
