The Great Northern Sweet Water Raid

In the latest tale from the acclaimed Cal Wild mythos, the San Jo Kid is released by The Company after serving nearly three years frozen and lifeless for smuggling. He soon learns that his freedom will come with some strings...

After being reunited with his enhanced animal companions — the crazy mastiff, All-American boy and the talking steed, Crazy Horse — Kid assembles a motley team of outlaw specialists to pull the biggest heist of his career. In the tradition of great westerns, Jo and his team will make what may prove to be a final stand as the mystery of the Great Northern Sweet Water Raid is revealed.

Brood XIX
by Michael McBride

Two years after the disappearance of her young daughter, Vanessa is living a solitary, hollow life. Refusing to accept that her child is gone, she lives alone, an enshrined mud teddy bear — the last thing given to her by her daughter — serving as a constant reminder of her loss.

The discovery of the remains of a young girl in a local swamp seems to bring the search to a tragic end. But hope can be found in the strangest of places... When the teddy bear suddenly erupts with insect life after years of dormancy, Vanessa sees it as a sign. With help from her deputy brother, she will discover the secret behind her daughter’s disappearance... and Brood XIX.

Crowley’s Window
by Gord Rollo

Abby Hawkins was never normal. Born with a birth cowl — a rare birth defect thought to predict psychic abilities — she is haunted by horrible visions. Shortly after her 13th birthday, Abby’s parents call in the mysterious Crowley to help their daughter. His interventions rid her of the visions... and her eyes.

Now a beautiful young lady, Abby Hawkins works as a fortune teller in a traveling Carnival. When, she receives a powerful vision — one depicting the abduction of a little girl, she becomes the sole witness to the crime. Only a young police officer believes her bizarre story, and with his help she embarks upon an investigation that will ultimately reunite her with ghost from her past and bring her to the hellish threshold of Crowley’s Window.
