"It's easy to tell yourself there's no such thing as ghosts, at least until you meet one face-to-face. It becomes a matter of convincing yourself that you are not seeing what you think you are seeing. If you happen to be Jake, a barely school-age child who awakens one night to find an elongated abomination in female form floating by his bedside, there is no amount of daylight or parental soothing that can convince you that ghosts are not real.
The apparition arrives at a crucial time in Jake's family life. He's beginning to notice that his mommy and his daddy aren't getting along the way they once did. Daddy seems particularly stressed about his job at the hospital. In turn, that stress seems to be making him tired and nearly always irritable. Finally, his new visitor, the start of the school year, and the tension between his parents start to take their toll. Consequently, Jake decides to search for a way to rid himself of at least one of his triad of problems.
His schooling is required by law. His parents don't seem to be interested in continuing to get along. That leaves Jake with only one option. Can he determine what the ghost wants and send her on her way back to the realm of the dead?

"Joe Cannon is a good ol’ boy, a Southern Tennessee Democrat made good. He’s confident in who he is and he knows who he wants to be. All the personal failures and vices that might have once stood in the way of his climb up the political ladder are far in the past.
But Joe has a problem. He’s not sure he’s done a very good job of raising his daughter. Rachel not only disagrees with him politically but also has all the bad personal habits and vices he tried hard to leave behind. Joe often fears his daughter will harm his career.
One night, when he returns to his capitol building office to do some thinking about how to best ensure his daughter’s choices do not affect his own future, Joe is confronted by a dark figure. The man in the shadows seems to know far too much about his personal history for Joe’s comfort. More than that, he seems to be threatening Joe’s life.
Can Joe escape the shadows of his past and prevent himself from getting killed in the process?"
"It's easy to become overwhelmed to the point of paralysis these days. Just ask grade-schooler Tina. Better yet, ask Tina's granny. Her granny has had a rough time of late.
First, Tina's grandfather, the family decision-maker, died. Next, her granny was saddled with having to care for granddaughter Tina while Tina's mother went to work. That became especially burdensome after Tina's bus driver forgot to drop her off from school one day. But the worst day of her granny's life was yet to come.
One afternoon Tina finds herself helplessly captive in the backseat of her granny's Lincoln. She can only watch as the pressure of daily decision-making forces away the last of her granny's sanity. Meanwhile, the Lincoln speeds and careens wildly down the streets of Tina's hometown with Tina trapped in the backseat and her granny paralyzed behind the wheel.
Can Tina help her granny break free from her spiral in time to save both their lives? The decision is in her hands."
"Mike Bragg is a man you can trust. He'll fix your car up right. He might even drive it home himself, just to make sure it's running exactly the way he thinks it should before you get it back.
But when he accidentally runs over a small brown rabbit on his way home from work one day, Mike chalks up the incident as just another insignificant rodent casualty. 'Too many of them hoppers anyway,” he reasons. And maybe he's right because that very afternoon dozens of them begin to crowd outside the door of Mike's humble abode.
Watching.
Waiting.

"There are monsters of this world. They look like us. They behave like us. They even have dreams and ambitions like us. But they are not us. At least, we do not like to think so.
Sometimes, as is the case with traveling family man Reed Reese, we are confronted by these monsters. Usually when we are most vulnerable. They might not even view it as a confrontation, but we do. It ultimately leads to what all confrontations lead to: a fight or a flight.
Sometimes one of those options is forced upon us.
This is one of those times.

"In a near future of zero tolerance, Big Brother is not entirely born of the government. He is also your local news, your social media friends and followers, your neighbors. Everything you say and do is monitored—and judged. Almost overnight, the fabric of society has dissolved into a culture of carrions: a murder of crows. It was only a matter of time before someone found a way to capitalize on it.
Meet Internet, television, and radio sensation Nick Saint, a man who has built a media empire off the public shaming of both celebrities and average joes. Lately, Nick has noticed a disturbing trend emerging from the culture he's spent so many hard hours at work perpetuating. The crows are no longer interested in the food he's providing, and scavenging for the dirty deeds of others is getting more difficult now that all the world has learned to watch their Ps and Qs.
Can Nick continue to find fresh corpses for his starving flocks to feed on? Or will they finally turn on him instead?
