  Ancient Inheritence by Rita Vetere (from Lyrical Press) is a brand new horror novel that looks awesome! Check it out!
Evil is real, and it's coming…unless one woman can learn a secret buried in her family's past. On a quest to rule the world, the demon Sammael will stop at nothing to unlock his powers...even enter the physical plane.
Catherine Caldwell has unwittingly come into possession of the item Sammael has sought for over two millennia. Her education into the conflict of dark and light is a trial by fire. Guided by prophetic dreams and aided by family, a Creole psychic and a homicide detective, she struggles to learn her role in an age-old war, and elude the demon hunting her.

Lisa Selvey moved to Necro Bay, just on the outskirts of Chesapeake, Virginia. She moved there because of its reputation for peace and quiet. To free herself of her nightmares. But her nightmares were just beginning. . . Necro Bay was just your average American seaside town. The house she bought a normal home. The handsome man, Jacob Lindan that she met, nothing more than a sexually attractive man that whose touch made her mad with desire. Things nightmarishly changed and made her wonder if she wasn't going mad. Even worse, it made her wonder if something lurked in the shadows.

| 'Blood Lust' - a little nice, a lot of naughty |
|
|
 Blood Lust: The Drone Vampire Chronicles Book One by Stephani Hecht from www.extasybooks.com is now available! Why does it look worth checking out? because it looks like a serious guilty pleasure!
Once top soldiers for the Vampire Regulation Force, Kane Toren and his two younger brothers were the ones to call for missions no one else could handle. They were feared by everyone and respected by all. That ended in one horrible night, when an entire human family was slaughtered and the brothers were falsely accused, imprisoned and disgraced. Ten years later, Kane is out of prison and struggling to support himself and his brothers by taking jobs no self-respecting vampire would accept. Then on Halloween Night a beautiful female Drone vampire, named Toni, shows up at his door seeking his help. There is no way Kane can turn her away, even though he knows she, too, is harboring demons from her own dark past. Despite all that, they find themselves drawn to each other. But, can they let go of the past long enough to embrace the future?

| Interview with 'Blood Moon' author A.W. Gryphon |
|
 A.W. Gryphon is the author of Blood Moon, a spectacular new paranormal fiction novel set in London. A world filled with witchcraft, Halloween, and a war between witches and witch-hunters; what more could you ask for? A cross between Anne Rice and Tanith Lee, Gryphon’s work puts a new spin on the feminine heroine with “Amelia” while reinventing witchcraft for horror fiction. In our Q & A with A.W., we try to probe our way into how her mind works and how she was motivated to write the frightening and compelling novel that she did.

| Halloween eBook reads you shouldn't miss! |
|
|
 If you're looking for some fun, silly, erotic, or brand new and undiscovered horror literature for your entertainment, have you looked into eBooks? They're sent to your email inbox and they often rock because they are written predominantly by females for a predominantly female audience. That means you'll usually get strong female characters; vampires, witches, and demons; fun things like shape-shifting; true love; and unbridled sexual writing that you may not get from your usual Waldenbooks paperback horror.
For some truly fun Halloween reading, why not purchase one of the latest from from eXtasy Books? Not only are these shorter reads cheaper than buying a physical book, but they're so fun it's scary. While some border on the ridiculous, they are always entertaining. Check out this lineup...

| Haunted Lily: The Nightmare Ball (2008) |
|
 Author: Sidney Fox
Website: www.spookpalace.com
To order: Buy Haunted Lily
ISBN: 9780595485970 (softcover), 9780595487677 (hardcover)
Review by: Gabby Goff
I have seen snippets of reviews that say things like, “Riveting!”, “Truly creepy moments!”, “Once I started, I couldn’t put it down!” and finally, “Excellent…A natural story-teller.” This all applies to Sidney Fox and her book, Haunted Lily: The Nightmare Ball. Haunted Lily is an entertaining and fantastic read! I could not put this book down and I looked forward to reading it every single day until I was finished with it. Of course, reading it every single day wasn’t always feasible but man, on the days that I couldn’t I absolutely looked forward to reading more of it!
