Ghost
Radio: Leopoldo Gout
From the cramped bowels of a dimly lit radio station,
Ghost Radio is beamed onto the airwaves. More than a
call-in show to tell scary stories about vampires and
poltergeists, Ghost Radio is a sanctuary for those
sleepless denizens of the night, lost halfway between
this world and the next. Joaquin, the hip, melancholy
host, sits deep in a fog of cigarette smoke, fielding
calls from believers and detractors alike. He is joined
in the booth by his darkly beautiful girlfriend, Alondra,
and his engineer, Watts. Soon what began as an
underground cult sensation is primed to break out to
mainstream audiences. When a huge radio conglomerate
offers to syndicate the show and Ghost Radio becomes a
national hit with an expanding legion of hardcore fans,
neither Joaquin, Alondra, nor Watts is remotely prepared
for what is about to happen.

Dead
Men's Boots: Mike Carey
You might think that helping a friend's widow to stop a
lawyer from stealing her husband's corpse would be the
strangest thing on your To Do list. But life is rarely
that simple for Felix Castor. A brutal murder in the
heart of London bears all the hallmarks of a long-dead
American serial killer, and it takes more good sense
than Castor possesses not to get involved. He's also
fighting a legal battle over the body - if not the soul
- of his possessed friend, Rafi, and can't shake the
feeling that his three problems might be related. With
the help of the succubus Juliet and paranoid zombie
data-fence Nicky Heath, Castor just might have a chance
of fitting the pieces together before someone drops him
down an elevator shaft or rips his throat out.

Travails
for Teyuna: Nicholas Paschall
After a year trapped in a Chinese monastery,
world-traveling occult Professor Nickels and his
students escape, only to brave bigger and deadlier
challenges. A slumbering elder god known as the Brother
of Bone has gone missing. Meanwhile, sinister forces are
hard at work ferreting out the god's resting place,
seeking to claim its mighty powers for themselves.
Knowing the catastrophic danger that would ensue if the
Brother of Bone fell into the wrong hands, Nickels and
his students set off to find answers. All signs point to
Teyuna--an ancient city not on any map, inhabited solely
by vampires and the humans who serve as their livestock.
Finding a city that shouldn't exist is only half the
problem, because getting there alive is a completely
different matter. With their path beset by assassins,
deranged demonologists, undead hordes and mystical
serpent women with horrific powers, Nickels and his
group will need nothing short of a miracle to reach
Teyuna in one piece.

Unquiet
Spirits: Whisky, Ghosts, Murder: Bonnie MacBird
A beautiful client arrives with a tale of ghosts,
kidnapping and dynamite on a whisky estate in Scotland,
but brother Mycroft trumps all with an urgent assignment
in the South of France. On the fabled Riviera, Holmes
and Watson encounter treachery, explosions, rival French
Detective Jean Vidocq - and a terrible discovery. This
propels the duo northward to the snowy highlands. There,
in a "haunted" castle and among the copper
dinosaurs of a great whisky distillery, they and their
young client face mortal danger, and Holmes realizes all
three cases have blended into a single, deadly
conundrum. In order to solve the mystery, the ultimate
rational thinker must confront a ghost from his own
past. But Sherlock Holmes does not believe in ghosts -
or does he?
