????? The Summoning has a small-town horror setting that instantly brings to mind a Stephen King novel, but the author makes it his own. — Amazon Customer???? The pacing is excellent, but it is the clarity and depth of the characters that set The Summoning apart. — Amazon Customer?????Worthy of Stephen King or Dean Koontz. — Amazon CustomerBrady Longmore’s debut horror novel, The Summoning, has been compared by Amazon reviewers to early works of Stephen King and Dean Koontz. It’s been described as an old-fashioned ghost story with surprising depth. In The Summoning, Longmore has taken familiar elements from the horror genre–demonic entities, the undead, a serial killer on a mission–and made them frightening and suspenseful all over again.Daniel Miller is an outcast, bullied at school, and is a constant source of disappointment to his father. Powerless to change his situation, the teenager bears the burden of daily ridicule and rejection, but deep inside seethes a torrent of vengeful rage. One day, he hears a woman’s voice in his head; a voice of sympathy and understanding. A voice of seduction that promises Daniel power, respect, and even love. But most of all, it promises him the revenge he so desperately craves. How far will a teenage boy go to turn the tables on his life? What lines will he be willing to cross in exchange for the seductive promises of a beautiful, but evil, demoness?Chet Cooper has everything going for him. A decorated Marine recently returned from the battlefields of World War II, he was a shoe in for local sheriff when the position came open. He was even voted by the local newspaper as the town’s most eligible bachelor. But all is not as it seems. Every day Chet fights a secret war with the demons of his past, as he tries to move on from the horrors of his experiences and live a normal life. One day while searching for a lost child, Chet meets Kate Farnsworth, the new school secretary. She’s beautiful, witty, and full of spunk. The demons of his past seem to be powerless in her presence, and he quickly finds himself smitten by the new girl in town. But Kate is battling her own demon: a terrible secret she’s running from but unable to escape.When a series of brutal murders takes place in the quiet town of Clear Creek, Chet and Kate are suddenly thrust together into a fight with a supernatural, ancient evil that’s hellbent on destroying them and everyone they love. With the clock ticking, will the unlikely couple be able to overcome their own demons, and stop the killings before it’s too late?The Summoning is a paranormal horror novel with a sweet romance threaded throughout the main plot. Brady Longmore has painstakingly woven a tapestry of colorful characters, inhabiting a small town, that come to life, seeming to jump from the pages and play through the reader’s mind as if they’re watching a movie. Described by many readers as a long book, but a short read, fans of horror will find The Summoning a difficult read to put down.

The chilling crimes of family mass murderer and con man Christian Longo, from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Prom Night Murders.Shortly before Christmas of 2001, the bodies of Mary Jane Longo and her three young children, Zachary, Sadie Ann, and Madison were discovered. They’d been murdered and dumped off the Oregon coast in Yaquina and Alsea Bay. The youngest victim was only two years old. Their father, Christian Longo, was missing.Within days, the twenty-seven-year-old all-American dad was added to the FBI’s list of Ten Most Wanted fugitives. As law enforcement officials scoured northern California in pursuit of the suspected family-killer, Longo was already looking for a new job—and a new life—under a new name. Believed to be skilled in identity theft, Christian Longo was on the run. Now investigative reporter Carlton Smith takes a journey into the heart of darkness—from Longo’s masquerade as a devoted family man and finally to his capture at a beach camp in Mexico—to uncover the unfathomable trail of a deadly master of deception.

Sixth in the cozy historical mystery series that’s “guaranteed to appeal to those who never got over the death of Dorothy L. Sayers” (Financial Times, UK).Aristocratic and delightfully witty amateur sleuth Dandy Gilver was greeted with boisterous cheers from readers and reviewers alike in Catriona McPherson’s previous outing, Dandy Gilver and the Proper Treatment of Bloodstains, which The Boston Globe named one of the best crime novels of the year. In this new book in this charming and funny series, Dandy is caught between two feuding families who run rival department stores.Dandy’s services are needed when the heiress to one of the stores goes missing. As Dandy starts to unravel long-hidden family secrets, she begins to discover disturbing connections, and it’s not long before danger abounds.”With witty dialogue and low-key humor, McPherson’s series is a great choice for Jacqueline Winspear, Carola Dunn, and Amy Patricia Meade fans. A strong traditional offering with sly humor, a love of dogs, and not too much violence. A real contender for the Agathas!” raved Library Journal in a starred review. Dandy Gilver and an Unsuitable Day for a Murder is one mystery not to be missed.”The strong plot offers a truly baffling traditional murder mystery, which bodes well for future books in the series.” —Publishers Weekly”McPherson continues her impressively precise imitation of Golden Age models.” —Kirkus Reviews
