A horror story from Tor.com set in the same dark world as Jonathan L. Howard's Johannes Cabal: The Necromancer Johannes Cabal, a necromancer of some little infamy, has this much in common with Emily Dickinson; because he could not stop for Death, she kindly stopped for him. Well, perhaps not that kindly. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
A short story about a small city with a deep and dangerous past. The oddest little things can hide the darkest secrets. There's a little oddity along the path that runs between the river and the road. Nothing major, but interesting. Just the sort of thing you'd mention while chatting. But, whatever you do, don't go back there. Don't look again. Bad things might happen. Bad things WILL happen. "Between the River and the Road" was the first professionally published story by Jonathan L. Howard, author of the Russalka Chronicles and the Johannes Cabal stories. It has been out of print for over a decade.
Making a movie on a small budget is a labour of love. "The Ghost" is one such production. It has a brilliant script, and a dedicated cast and crew. It also has a producer who has little love for film. Despite all the obstacles, the movie is coming together. But the script is based on actual historical characters, there is unfinished business casting a shadow down the centuries, and -- as the film's tag line says -- "Vengeance Never Dies." "Filming the Ghost" is an atmospheric tale of creativity under pressure, a love of the cinema, and how some sins cannot be forgiven or forgotten. Jonathan L. Howard is the author of the Johannes Cabal series and the YA SF Russalka Chronicles.
There’s nothing the police like more than an open and shut case. Unfortunately, the Cresswill case was anything but. It started as a suicide, but then it was a murder pretending to be a suicide. Then it appeared that it was a suicide masquerading as a murder pretending to be a suicide. It was all so ridiculous, but the only thing a jury needs to acquit is a reasonable doubt, even when it seems quite unreasonable. Or is it? Or not? Perhaps to find the truth, the police need help that is every bit as unhinged as the case…
