Setting Suns
Elizabeth Donald

A nightmarish funhouse turned deadly. A couple trapped in a futile journey through time. A single baleful eye watching from the deep. An assassin waiting in a snow-covered tree. A pair of soldiers trapped between death and something
worse.

These are the tales and terrors of Elizabeth Donald, award-winning author of the Nocturnal Urges vampire mystery series. These stories and more are contained in this volume of terrifying twilight tales.

"Elizabeth Donald's prose has a flowing fluidity that draws the reader in like a rushing river. The stories in SETTING SUNS are imbued with a haunting lyricism, but frequently there are moments of pure terror that arrive like a devastating punch to the gut. Donald's is one of the strongest and freshest new genre voices out there."
--Bryan Smith, author of House of Blood and Deathbringer

In that space between evening and nightfall, between consciousness and sleep, the moment when the light fades and the shadows take over...

These are the lands of the Setting Suns.

Swan Song
Frank Fradella

When Permafrost's father is murdered, she enlists the aid of The Swan to root out his killers, embroiling them both in a conspiracy that could have global consequences. With a viral pathogen threatening the lives of everyone on earth, Permafrost finds herself in the arms of the one person she could not bear to lose.

"Frank Fradella gets superheroes -- in the same sense that Hollywood finally got it right with the Spider-Man and X-Men films.  Swan Song is a compelling murder mystery, involving two superheroes falling in love.  Fradella's characters are not the least bit campy -- they're believable, and that's the key to Swan Song's success!"
- Jim Salicrup, Editor-in-Chief, Papercutz

Swan Song is the first full-length novel set in the award-winning iHero Universe. Populated with extraordinary characters and set in a world just a hair removed from our own, Swan Song delivers a magical blend of realism that will set your teeth on edge through every moment of danger.
