The Monsters Among Us

 

 


A viscerally cinematic and genre-defying fantasy/horror novel.


The Monsters Among Us

The Abyss Borne Gods Book 1

by Kent Priore

Genre: Dark Fantasy, Horror



“Kent Priore writes like a natural about the supernatural, and The Monsters Among Us is a marvelously dark and true novel. American fiction has found a terrific new voice.”
—Joseph O’Neill, PEN/Faulkner Award-Winning Author of Netherland


Seth’s life until now has been a product of a diabolical, evil Truman Show, his entire upbringing a façade orchestrated for malevolent purposes. After his beloved dies, he undergoes a demonic metamorphosis, which causes the world’s fictitious walls to crumble.

As he tries to piece a semblance of his life back together and move on, he meets friends who inspire, but even more harsh truths are revealed, perhaps too difficult to cope with.

The very existence of life and reality is exposed as a machination of grotesque gods. And to defeat them, Seth will have to fill his emptiness, for which there’s only two options…
Bring the world to ruin, or learn to transmute his pain into strength.

Fans of "Jerusalem" by Alan Moore, “The Bell Jar” by Sylvia Plath, or “The Master and Margarita” by Mikhail Bulgakovor will enjoy “The Monsters Among Us.”

“I was intrigued from the first sentence, determined to spend the night speed-reading so I didn't have to remain in suspense any longer.”

-Ella Dupuie, author of Fractures of the Fallen

“Supernatural storytelling at its best, this vivid cinematic novel takes the reader on an imaginative journey through what could be considered end of days. The Monster’s Among Us is a masterful creation and a must read—even for those who aren’t fans of fantasy/horror.”
—Joni Marie Iraci MFA author of Vatican Daughter

Graduated from Bard College with a BA in the Written Arts, Kent Priore is an author of dark literature, genre-blending epics and vignettes, where dark romanticism meets modern psychology for a macabre but hopeful depiction of inner struggle and the human ability to endure, and perhaps even prevail. He has a fascination with humanity and is one of the few to believe that despite our many weaknesses, we are far stronger than we often think. He wishes to show that strength to those darker individuals, burdened by lonesomeness, poor mental health, and other forces perceived to be out of their control, as well as show them that all is not lost.

Wicked Prince of Mirrors

 

 


Dark fairytales. 

Forbidden magic. 

A cursed prince you shouldn’t fall for…but will.


Wicked Prince of Mirrors

Wicked Princes Book 1

by Angela J. Ford

Genre: Fantasy Romance, Romantasy



He’s the kingdom's most dangerous prisoner. She just accidentally helped him escape.

When forbidden magic awakens within Princess Esmira, she knows she must flee—or be executed. Hoping to escape through the palace’s hidden tunnels, she instead discovers a chamber of ancient mirrors. Mist coils. Magic stirs. One touch shatters the glass—and frees Prince Methrin, the Wicked Prince of Mirrors.

Cursed for vanity, bloodshed, and a betrayal that nearly destroyed the realm, Methrin was exiled to the mirrorverse long ago. Now he's back—immortal, furious, and dangerously compelling. He claims the stories are twisted lies, the crown was stolen and the true monster escaped. Only Esmira’s raw, unstable magic can stop it.

Forced to flee together, bound by forbidden magic, Esmira is pulled into a world of illusions, broken prophecy, and a prince who sees through every mask she wears. As their connection deepens, so do the risks—because the monster Methrin once unleashed still haunts the realm… and it’s hunting again.

Wicked Prince of Mirrors is a complete stand-alone romantasy novel with a “happily ever after.” Perfect for readers who long for forbidden magic, cursed princes, mirror realms steeped in illusion, and slow-burn romantic fantasy.

Wicked Prince of Mirrors is Book One in the Wicked Princes Collection. A series of standalone fantasy romance novels.

What Goes Around

 



A relentless thriller that explores the unbreakable bonds that transcend time.



What Goes Around

by Michael Wendroff

Genre: Thriller




'Relentless and gritty, Wendroff expertly weaves a narrative that begs, "just one more page".' J.D. Barker, New York Times bestselling author

EVIL HAS MANY FACES


Chilling murders terrorize a town and bring together two detectives to face the hardest tasks of their lives. Jack Ludlum, who relies on his brawn to get things done, is now paired with his archenemy, Jill Jarred, a brilliant investigator with keen intuition. As they delve into the secret world of incels and white supremacists, and conflict between local authorities and the FBI rages, a media frenzy further complicates the mission.

Is there a serial killer on the loose? Or something entirely different? Will the detectives' clashing personalities be their undoing, or can they unite to stop the killer before they kill each other?

What Goes Around is a dynamic thriller that examines the intricacies of love, loss, and the unbreakable bonds that transcend time. With its pulse-pounding pace, captivating characters, and a revelatory twist that challenges the boundaries of life and death, this novel will keep you hooked from the first page to the last, and thinking long afterwards.

'Starts off at a breakneck pace and doesn't let up until it reaches its unexpected conclusion.' Lisa Black, New York Times bestselling author of the Locard Institute thrillers

'An adrenaline-fueled novel, the action breathlessly driven by two detectives relentlessly pursuing the bloody trails left by a serial killer with a dark sense of justice, deadly groups of white supremacists, and one lonely, alienated boy caught up in the violence.' Kathleen Kent, New York Times bestselling author

'Fast-paced propulsive thriller that doesn't let up - highly recommended!' Lori Brand, author

 

‘I could barely put this book down! The twists and turns. The references to current political climate and the unanswered “who dun it” questions kept me engaged until the last page. Great read. Fast paced and an unexpected ending. Kudos for Wendroff’s debut novel!’ – Amazon review

 

‘I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat. He is a colorful writer and the characters just come to life. They become very real, and the interplay between them is really intriguing. I highly recommend this book.’ – Amazon review

Michael Wendroff is the author of What Goes Around, a debut thriller published by Bloomsbury, which bestselling author Eric Rickstad calls a “brilliant debut,” and bestselling author Lisa Black says, “starts off at a breakneck pace and doesn’t let up until it reaches its unexpected conclusion.” Plus, #1 bestselling author J.D. Black says, “Relentless and gritty, Wendroff expertly weaves a narrative that begs, ‘just one more page…’”

The book was inspired by what his mother said to him the second he was born: “Oh! How nice to see you–Again!”

Michael has an MBA in marketing from NYU, and was inducted into their Hall of Fame. He is a global marketing consultant. He shares his time between New York City, Sarasota, Florida, and Lake Garda, Italy. He is married and has three wonderful children.

His mother was an editor (watching his mother scribbling in red ink on manuscript pages at home on weekends prepared him for his own editor's comments!). She remarried a literary agent, so Michael was friendly with many authors, and even spent a vacation with Robert Ludlum. Watching Ludlum hand-write his 450 page novels on yellow legal pads didn't dissuade Michael from trying to write a novel (though he's thankful for his PC).

What Goes Around was launched in the USA, UK, and Australia, and foreign language rights have been sold in Italian, Japanese, and Hungarian. The hardcover went through 3 printings, and now the trade paperback is available (along with audio book and e-book).

Fun fact: Michael's great-grandfather was brought over by Thomas Edison from the University of Copenhagen to work with him. He holds a number of patents, including for plastic buttons. Michael proudly wears button- down shirts whenever he can.
