  In a remote valley bound by prayer and fear, two boys are chosen to take part in The Drawing—a sacred ritual meant to cleanse sin from their village. 
  But when mercy defies doctrine, and friendship challenges faith, the fire meant to purify consumes everything instead. 
  Now, as The Den burns and the forest awakens, Eli and Caleb must confront what remains: the truth that holiness can rot, and that salvation may belong not to God, but to the earth itself. 
  Children of the Den is a gothic folk-horror tale of devotion, betrayal, and the quiet vengeance of nature—where the forest remembers what men forget.

  Former special agent Kade Black knows his adversaries well. He's shadowed terrorists, spies, and mafia bosses. 
   
   
   
  But he's never had to confront all three at once. 
   
   
   
  Kade's latest clue has him watching a new dead drop serviced by the late GRU operative, Sergei. But this drop is inactive. No sign of use. 
   
   
   
  Another intelligence agency has arrived in Sergei's wake. Far from a clandestine operation, agents of the PRC are moving around in the open. Forcing their way into small town politics and flirting with criminal enterprise. But to what end? 
   
   
   
  The answers will expose a very different gap along the banks of the Delaware River. An intelligence gap. One that puts global security at risk. 
   
   
   
  With the identity of a key conspirator in Sergei's operation close at hand, Kade will need to root out the bad actors, dead or alive. For that, he'll need the help of friends and foes alike. 
   
   
   
  But has this shadowy cabal already exacted their deadly toll?

  For generations, Hollywood has attracted all sorts of dreamers―and then has slowly crushed their aspirations. Elliott Gross is one such case; fresh out of college, he moved west from New York with hopes of writing for the silver screen and living a life of fame and fortune. A couple of years later, he's writing for an adult magazine and living in a garage. The year is 1994 and, with the rise of the internet, the era of print pornography is in its twilight, but Raunchy's owner has enough "catch-and-kill" secrets in the vault to ensure that his power will persist as long as his silence remains valuable. 
   
   
   
  When Gross is sent to write a profile on the company's newest starlet, he discovers that she has vanished seemingly without a trace. To find her, he embarks on a twisted journey through a business both seedy and carnivalesque. Rumors of a sensitive VHS tape held in the vault, which may hold the secret to Crystal's whereabouts, stir around Elliott and he stumbles into a corpse. Before his search can be concluded, Gross's position is terminated. Then he washes up at a celebrity-anchored New Age wellness brand and discovers a world far darker and more cruel than the porn industry. 
   
   
   
  Behind Sunset is a comic and noir-tinged tour through Tinseltown that uncovers darkness and lightness, in equal measure, from the most unexpected of sources.

  Max Effort never thought he'd find himself at The Dead Crow's sixth annual pickled onion festival, but serendipity is a peculiar thing, so here he stood. He didn't care, because his two best friends—Min his ex-wife, and Anxious the Terrier—were with him so life was sweet. With his camper in a nice corner of the pub's grounds and his outdoor kitchen set up, he couldn't have been happier. 
   
   
   
  When the pub's chef goes missing, Max reluctantly agrees to step in and save the day. Having vowed never to enter a commercial kitchen again, he soon regrets the decision, especially when the chef is found dead in a broom closet with a jar of pickled onions. With the pub landlord under pressure to keep the premises open, and the death seemingly natural causes, Max relaxes in the bar where a fun evening of festivities with the fiddler band turns into an after hours lock-in like no other. 
   
   
   
  Booze, music, way too many pickled onions, and another body means there's a murderer on the loose and a room full of suspects. Max begins to peel back the layers of this most puzzling of pickled problems. It might leave a sour taste in his mouth, but the stakes are high and the cost of failure lethal. As the team navigates a labyrinth of suspects as slippery as the pub floor, it becomes obvious the motive for the killings is wilder than anyone could have imagined.
