Nick Antosca's The Girlfriend Game is a tumble through the looking glass into a vortex of violence and desire.

A young man plots the death of his girlfriend's killer in "Winter Was Hard".

Under Steve Dawson’s leadership, the archaeologists soon confirmed Spencer’s fears.

When Pepper is kidnapped, it becomes clear that someone is out for revenge. Zorzi must rescue her apprentice, find the tablets, and prevent an old enemy from summoning an army of vengeful ghouls from the depths of the catacombs.

When Apropos inadvertently interferes with he who is destined to be their savior, no less than a deity reaches down and points his fickle finger upon him, informing him it is now his responsibility to liberate the people.
