"Nine haunted houses. Nine stories, settled all by dawn.
In the shadows of Bloomstone Manor, a dilapidated estate hauntingly set on 'Lily Lane', the veil between the living and the dead is impossibly thin. This collection of nine paranormal mystery stories explores inheritances, dark family legacies, and spectral demands, all bound by a houses enduring, dark influence.
This Halloween, meet the three students who dare to knock on the door of 'The 13th House'—a black, unnumbered prison that holds the sinister secrets of the past. Their trick-or-treating leads them to a terrifying collection of artifacts: a bent spoon, a rusted key, and a doll's eye. Every artifact is a clue left by a child who vanished, whispering pleas for help from beyond the grave. The teens must solve the mystery and free the spirits before the night's magic fades, or they might become the next secret the old house keeps.
Uncover the restless spirits and broken promises that demand attention and resolution. When the clock strikes dawn, the secrets settle back into the dust and lilies—and it may be too late."
"Stopping the unstoppable is what Rose Cortez does best.
The lightning of the past has returned to haunt the present. Terra, the former bride of Frankenstein, has claimed the old electric machine for her own twisted games. To her, bringing the dead back is mere sport—but to the living, it is a waking nightmare. As a wave of lurking zombies begins to overflow from the shadows, Rose Cortez, a legendary psychic detective and ghost hunter, realizes she is the only one standing between the world and a permanent graveyard.
Rose is no stranger to loss. One year ago, her husband was taken from her, leaving a void that only justice can fill. But the stakes have just turned personal again. When one of her own band of psychics is found dead, the time for investigation is over. The time for revenge has begun.
Terra believes her second life is untouchable, but Rose has had enough. Alongside her surviving comrades, Rose must find a way to tear the machine from the Bride's cold, electrified grip. The path to stopping Terra is paved with terror and ancient science, and as the undead close in, Rose will have to use every ounce of her psychic power to ensure that Terra’s second life is her last.
In a battle of spirits versus science, can Rose Cortez pull the plug before the world loses its pulse?"
