After the death of his wife, Annika, Chester Lane is forced to pick up the pieces and start anew.
Trouble is, some of the pieces don't appear to fit.
There was much more to Chester's late wife than met the eye; her short life had been a troubled one, filled with frightening oddities-some of which may have had a hand in her untimely death.
Perishing under horrifying and mysterious circumstances, Annika's absence casts a long shadow across Chester's life. Hungry for answers in the wake of her death, he starts asking questions better left unasked.
How did his beloved meet her end? Why does the smell of her signature perfume begin to turn up everywhere in the weeks after her passing? Who is the shadowed figure that stalks around his home and peers into his windows as the sun sets? Has his wife truly returned from the dead, or is he being haunted by a dark presence from her terrifying past?
The deeper Chester digs into Annika's past, the closer he gets to unearthing a true nightmare-a nightmare that had been set in motion long before they'd said, 'I do.'
The Other Woman is a tale of supernatural horror and mystery by Ambrose Ibsen, the author of The Haunting of Beacon Hill and Asylum.
Sadie has a gift. And she'll do anything to keep from using it.
At sixteen, Sadie Young had a brush with death, and as a result she became more sensitive to the supernatural. Rather than embrace this gift, she spent years running from it, and from the darkness that once preyed upon her.
Now twenty-five and working as a librarian, Sadie is called upon by a desperate family friend to look into a strange series of events. A teenaged girl has entered a reputedly haunted house in town and has gone mad. Committed, the girl attempts suicide and claims to be terrorized at all hours by a horrific specter known as 'Mother Maggot.'
Despite having subdued her gift for the past nine years, Sadie wishes to assist the girl and reticently agrees to visit the site of the haunting. But upon entering the house on Beacon Hill, she discovers that Mother Maggot isn't merely a figment of a disturbed teen's imagination . . .
This collection contains the first three books in the Beckoning Dead series: The Haunting of Beacon Hill, The Haunting of Rainier Asylum, and The Haunting of Winslow Manor.

A FACE FROM THE PAST
Once upon a time, Jonathan West lost his best friend, Ansel, under horrific circumstances.
Or, at least, he thought he had.
On a warm summer night, he finds himself reunited with the dead man-and hunted by a hideous entity that occupies Ansel's body.
In his hour of need, Jonathan could have gone to the authorities, or hired an esteemed security service.
Instead, he winds up soliciting help from none other than Tanglewood's most curmudgeonly private eye.
Harlan Ulrich is on the case, for better or worse. The over-caffeinated eccentric will have to employ every tactic in his unorthodox playbook if he's to save the client-and himself.
Two roommates stumble upon a mysterious and disturbing videotape. After watching it, one of them vanishes . . .
A heart transplant recipient gets much more than he bargained for when he digs into his donor's sinister past . . .
Mourning the death of their son, a young couple is plunged into madness after encountering something otherworldly in the wilderness . . .
Dreams in Black Static is a collection of eight terrifying stories by Ambrose Ibsen, author of The Haunting of Beacon Hill and Asylum. The tales included are: 'Me and Mr. Ray,' 'Decatur Road,' 'Dreams in Black Static,' 'Distortional Addict,' 'Trim,' 'Subterrane Dream,' 'Orchard,' and 'The Uncanny.'
The house had not been lived in, but it had never been empty . . .
Fresh from their expedition into Rainier Asylum, librarians Sadie and August attempt to dig further into the past, uncovering hideous truths related to the noxious cult.
Their research into the diabolical sect dredges up more questions than answers, however-especially where Sadie's own history is concerned. She finds herself wondering just how much of what she's been told about her origins is true, and is assailed by doubts about her upbringing.
While grappling with her own angst, Sadie encounters a ghost from her past and soon finds herself steered to the doorstep of a lonesome manor house. This crumbling place, hidden amidst the pines, may prove to be the black heart at the very center of the diabolical conspiracy. The two librarians set out into the remote hillside to explore the shadowed property, but the house-and its nightmarish tenants-are not what they seem.
Whatever answers they stand to gain from their trip may come at too high a cost.
Having explored the shadowed ruin of Beacon Hill, Sadie and August are drawn deeper into a dark and winding history. It was at the infamous Rainier Asylum that local horrors were first conjured, and compelled by a mix of duty and guilt, the librarians begin to look into the institution's sordid past.
For years, locals have reported seeing something hideous stalking about the abandoned asylum-something with large eyes and twisted limbs. When a young farmhand meets this diabolical presence face-to-face and disappears, Sadie and August decide to visit the site to search for him, certain that his disappearance is linked to their investigation.
There, they find the nighted corners of the shuttered institution are astir with many terrible apparitions. The things that walk the halls of Rainier Asylum are horrific beyond imagining, and as she descends into the depths of the forsaken building, Sadie stumbles upon something most unexpected-something that connects her to the very horrors she seeks to overcome.

Something stirs in the town of Newsom's Landing . . .
Penny hates the outdoors, but when her boyfriend, Jared, plans a romantic weekend getaway in the woods, she decides to tag along.
The pair drive to a remote Kentucky campground with a strange and sordid history. Within the confines of the Swan Creek State Park are the ruins of a town abandoned under terrifying circumstances in the 19th century. The town of Newsom's Landing had been the site of the last-known witch trial in U.S. history, and the ghost of its defendant, the infamous Ellie Pomeroy, is said to still linger.
Arriving on the anniversary of Pomeory's murder, the pair find they have the entire park to themselves.
Or, nearly.
Something else is stalking the woods-watching in the night, wandering through the ruins. It brings a plague of hallucinatory terror wherever it goes, and before long, Penny and Jared can't parse reality from nightmare.
Lost in the woods, the pair are faced with a choice: Find a way to end the century-long curse, or be consumed by it-body and soul.
