When it comes to choosing lovers, Heather Dixon does it all wrong. She chooses men with perversions and kinks, and her latest is a guy who just wants to control her. Heather's had enough, but she loves men too much to give them up entirely, so she decides to take matters into her own hands. Enter Mr. Wonderful, a very special pleasure aid who can do more than Heather ever imagined. "Some toys play by their own rules... Slippery When Wet is a humorously horrific tale about things that go bump (and grind) in the night." -Jared Anderson, author of Beautiful Monster "This cautionary fable is a muscle tale of love that penetrates the dark corners of horror fantasy and really drives home its blunt point. -Del Howison, Stoker Award-winning editor

FIVE NIGHTS IN A HAUNTED CABIN In 2013, bestselling horror authors Tamara Thorne and Alistair Cross were working on their first collaborative novel and had yet to meet in person. That all changed when they got together to investigate an allegedly haunted cabin in California’s Gold Country. The cabin’s owner and his family had fled the building on two occasions, beset by anomalies ranging from poltergeist phenomena to a darkly looming apparition. They wanted answers and were referred to author and long-time paranormal investigator Tamara Thorne. She and Alistair Cross decided that a few days and nights in a haunted cabin was the perfect setting for their first face-to-face meeting. They ended up spending five nights documenting the phenomena inside - and outside - the little log cabin tucked deep in the woods. By turns intrigued and terrorized, Thorne & Cross not only came away with great story ideas, they left the cabin with a new definition of horror.
