Miles Landry is trying to put violence behind him when he takes up work as a private detective focused on humdrum adultery cases. But when a Tibetan monk hires him to find a missing person, things get weird fast. Charged with tracking down the reincarnation of a man possessed by a demonic guardian from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Miles is plunged into a world of fortune-tellers, gangsters, and tantric rituals. The year is 1991 and a series of grisly murders has rocked New York City in the run up to a visit from the Dalai Lama. The police attribute the killings to Chinatown gang warfare. Miles–skeptical of the supernatural–is inclined to agree. But what if the monster he's hunting is more than a myth? ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

It’s end of October 1985 and the crumbling river town of Dubois, Iowa is shocked by the gruesome murder of one of the pillars of the community. Detective David Carlson has no motive, no evidence, and only one lead: the macabre local legend of “Boris Orlof,” a late night horror movie host who burned to death during a stage performance at the drive-in on Halloween night twenty years ago and the teenage loner obsessed with keeping his memory alive. The body count is rising and the darkness that hangs over the town grows by the hour. Time is running out as Carlson desperately chases shadows into a nightmare world of living horrors. On Halloween the drive-in re-opens at midnight for a show no one will ever forget. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

He’s running from a lifetime of guilt and bad decisions, but principally he’s running from the murderous entities that have possessed the very ground at his feet. Jim has no idea what these entities are, but they’ve done unspeakable things to everyone in the graveyard and now they’re hunting him down. There is nowhere Jim can hide, nowhere he can walk and nowhere he can run that isn’t under the lethal power of the things in the ground. If he stands any chance of survival he must uncover the link between his murderous tormentors, three mysterious graves and an ancient heresy that stretches back to the beginning of time. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

Aku adalah putri kandung Keluarga Setiawan, juga memiliki “sistem pengamat drama”. Aku memang terlihat penurut dari luar, tetapi sebenarnya penuh perlawanan dalam hati. Hanya saja, aku tidak tahu bahwa isi hatiku bisa dibaca. Kakak-kakakku berkata, “Meski kamu itu adik kandung kami, kami hanya akui Cheryl sebagai adik. Sebaiknya kamu tahu diri.” Aku bergumam dalam hati, ‘Kayaknya aku sudah singgung Raja Neraka di kehidupan sebelumnya, makanya aku dilahirkan di Keluarga Setiawan di kehidupan ini.’ Langkah kakak-kakakku tiba-tiba terhenti. “Cheryl sangat penurut, juga sayang sama semua orang di keluarga ini. Kamu jangan coba-coba cari perhatian atau buat onar.” Aku mencibir dalam hati, ‘Dia sangat penurut sampai sebabkan orang di seluruh keluarga ini tewas. Cintanya pada kalian juga begitu besar sampai-sampai dia khianati kalian.’ Kali ini, ekspresi para kakak terlihat sangat aneh.
