Summoner of Sleep by A.I. Winters

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

Don’t Dream, Or the Summoner of Sleep Will Get You.

In the isolated mountain town of Marble Woods, the townspeople harbor a dangerous secret. It’s here, away from the civilized world, that they can experiment with human genetics that have the power to alter your mind and body. When Ryder Ashling, a down-on-his-luck longtime sufferer of nightmares, discovers the town, he thinks he’s found a cure, but bears witness to their research and its terrifying, inevitable unraveling.

In exploring the disturbing crossroads of genetic manipulation and lust for youth and control of the physical, Winters’ cautionary tale of the perversion of natural order and desire will entice and rattle readers in this thought-provoking tale of terror.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Some nights I would wake up after having a good dream and think to myself “why can’t I have those kinds of dreams all the time?” It would be SO MUCH better to have dreams of flying through the galaxy, hanging out with your favorite musicians, and eating all the donuts you want. I had the same thought when I woke up after a bad or boring dream. Who wants to dream about grocery shopping, falling, or being chased? This sparked the idea for Summoner of Sleep. I thought it would be a neat concept to have a character who tries to perfect dreams using magic. I’ve always been interested in dreams, which is why they are prevalent in all my stories. Summoner of Sleep allowed me to really explore my own dreams and how they impact me on a day-to-day basis. I love that a lot of my readers have shared their dreams with me and how this book has impacted them.

Steel, Blood & Fire by Allan Batchelder

On the march, around the campfire, and in the taverns, they tell incredible stories about Tarmun Vykers, the Reaper – how he’s never been cut in battle, how he once defeated hundreds of men by himself, how he exterminated an entire people over an insult. These stories make Vykers seem like a god, but he is a man, an arrogant, ruthless and bloodthirsty man. For all that, he may be the only thing standing between the human race and utter annihilation at the hands of the mad wizard who calls himself the End-of-All-Things. Against this backdrop, smaller, lesser folks struggle to fulfill their own destinies, folks like Aoife, burdened with a secret so dark she is driven to do the unimaginable and seek an alliance with fey powers no mortal has ever encountered.

Shadow of Wolves by J.R. White

A tortured gunfighter. A Navajo outcast. – And the Creature whose claws would stain the stones of the Mojave red.
Flush with raw silver and ruled by a baron with an iron fist, the tiny mining outpost of Shank’s Point is under siege by a sinister evil.
When the rising sun reveals the claw-torn bodies littered among the rocks, John Swift-Runner calls on his old friend, a vagabond gunfighter, to stand with him against the slaughter he knows will come.
But as their band of misfits hunts for the creature on the burning sands of the Mojave, they stumble into a generations old mystery that goes beyond shamanic curses and into the bloodstained pages of legend.
Can the killing be stopped?
And can a tortured gunman like Kit Barker – with a terrible secret of his own – prevail against something as savage and eternal as the Beast?

Immortality comes at a high price; her sanity.
  Known simply as subject 336, she was the unwilling subject of sinister and brutal experiments designed to replicate her enormous strength, healing powers, and apparent immortality. It didn’t work out that way. Instead, they unleashed her primal nature. Now they’re dead, and she’s lost.  From the sweltering heat of the Mexican desert, her journey leads her to the tropical jungle of the Columbian Amazon. 
Against the backdrop of the Third World War, she fights her own gruelling battle to come to terms with what she is: a killer, a monster, or maybe worse.  The world is at war, and she is caught up in the middle. Joining the revolution, her newfound talents sway the balance of war in their favour. But is she a blessing, or a curse.   From International Bestselling Author Monique Singleton, Primal Nature captivates you from the first page and plunges you deep into the struggles and terrors of a random woman cursed with immortality.
It is the first book in the now completed Primal Series. Warning: 18+ Adult content.

Imagine being invaded by the Chinese and they want something only you have. However, giving it to them would mean the death of someone you love.

Sinful Cinderella by Anita Valle

I’m not who they think I am. A docile girl who meekly obeys her stepmother and stepsisters. Some kind of sick angel who cheerfully bears their mistreatment. That’s what I WANT them to think. Because then they won’t suspect what I’m really up to.

The ball, the prince – it’s all part of my plan to come out on top. Stepmother and her demented daughters will pay for every floor I have scoured, every sneer I have borne. They don’t know about the white magic, how I use it to enhance myself. They can’t see that my heart is black as midnight, rotten as a poisoned apple.

They’re about to find out.
