In a remote—and superstitious—village in County Cork, Ireland, Garda Siobhán O’Sullivan must solve a murder where the prime suspects are fairies . . . Family is everything to Siobhán, which now includes her fiancé Macdara Flannery. So when his cousin Jane frantically calls for help, the two garda rush from Kilbane to the rural village where Jane and her mother have recently moved. When they arrive, they find Jane in a state outside the cottage. Inside, Aunt Ellen lies on her bed in a fancy red dress, no longer breathing. A pillow on the floor and a nearby teacup suggest the woman has been poisoned and smothered. The local villagers, who are devout believers in Irish folklore, insist the cottage is cursed—built on a fairy path. Although the townsfolk blame malevolent fairies, Siobhán and Macdara must follow the path of a murderer all too human—but just as evil . . . “Plenty of surprising twists and oodles of Irish charm make this an entertaining read.”—Kirkus Reviews

While landscaping his backyard, ever-conscientious Paul Prentice discovers an iron door buried in the soil. His childhood friend and perpetual source of mischief, Jay Lightsey, pushes them to explore what’s beneath. When the door slams shut above them, Paul and Jay are trapped in a between-worlds place of Escher-like rooms and horror story monsters, all with a mysterious connection to a command-line, dungeon explorer computer game from the early ’80s called The Between. Paul and Jay find themselves filling roles in a story that seems to play out over and over again. But in this world, where their roles warp their minds, the biggest threat to survival may not be the Ko?maro, risen from the Between’s depths to hunt them; the biggest danger may be each other. “I found The Between dark, super creepy, and pushing the limits of my limited amounts of courage to explore-but I couldn’t stop myself from coming back for more because it’s propulsive, addictive, and scary good fun.” – Sean Gibson, author of The Stuff About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True “…an incredibly intricate novel that skillfully blends aspects of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and cyberpunk.” – Nicole Willson, author of Tidepool. “While in the first third of this book, I mentioned that the atmosphere reminded me of one of my favorite horror novels, SL Grey’s The Mall. There’s a surreal, not-right quality to that book that touched off a nerve in me that I just adored….I don’t at all mean this as an insult, as that’s a damn fun book- and so is this one! ….It’s almost like a grown up, more gory and violent horror version of Heir Apparent.” – Alexandra, Goodreads “This debut novel by author Ryan Leslie combines elements of science fiction and horror that at times reminded me of The Hike by Drew Magary and Off To Be The Wizard by Scott Meyer, all while being something distinctly different.” – Matt, Goodreads “It was a great mix of horror, sci-fi and adventure gaming!” – Stephanie, Goodreads
