Ghosts, werewolves, and intrepid heroines roam the moonlit pages of this magical collection of short novellas that arrives just in time to add its own passionate and supernatural touch to the October romance lineup.

This eclectic collection features veteran best-selling or Rita-winning authors, and while the quality definitely varies, most paranormal fans will find several that appeal.

Decadent Rome in the Dark Ages is mired in crumbling grandeur. Into the Eternal
City comes Regeane, a beautiful young woman distantly related, through her dead
mother, to Charlmagne. Reageana;s royal blood renders her an unwilling pawn
in the struggle for political power. But unknown to those plotting her destiny,
the blood she has inherited from her mudered father makes her more than a child
of royalty. Possessed of preternatural agility and strength, primal memories
extending back thousands of years, and senses so keen they can pierce the veil
of death itself, Regeane is a shapeshifter: woman and wolf, hunter and hunted.
Betrothed by Charlemagne's command to a barbarian lord she has never seen, Regeane
is surrounded by enemies. The most notorious, her depraved uncle and guardian,
will not scrupple to betray her to the Church unless hse aids him in his sinister
schemes. And if the Church discovers her secret, Regeane will burn at the stake.
Yet Regeane finds allies as well: Lucilla, rumored to be the courtesan to Pope
Hadrian himself; Antonius, a wise and gentle soul trapped within a body grotesquely
disfigured by disease; and the little Saxon girl Elfgifa, brave beyond her years,
with a tongue as sharp as a blade.
Outside the gates of Rome, baying on the moonlit expanses of the Ca,pagna, there
is a mysterious dark wolf whose scent makes the animal in Regeane tremble with
desire. Now, as an infamous stranger prepares to claim his bride, and deadly
plots and counterplots tighten like a noose around her neck, Regeane must fight
to live with dignity as the proud creature she is: civilized and savage, woman
and wolf, partaking of both yet in infinitely more than either…

On the eve of a brutal murder in contemporary Manhattan, Alexander Devoncroix
finally reveals to his son and heir a tightly guarded chapter in the family
history, which is known to no outsiders.
In a world in which a superioir race of werewolves holds the positions of power,
human and werewolf segregation had become the norm. But for the first time,
the leaders of the pack have accepted a human. In dazzling 19th century Paris,
we meet three pivotal players: the young human Tessa LeGuerre, who falls under
the spell of a very powerful, very sensual werewolf; Alexander Devoncroix, the
charismatic werewolf who adores humans too well, but whose ultime loyalty is
to the pack; and Elise, the imperial pack leader who lays claim to Alexander.
Beloved "pet" of select members of the pack, Tessa naively embraces all things
werewolf- an ambition that results in unspeakable tragedy.
For Karyn it was the howling... the howling that had heralded the nightmarein Drago... the nightmare that had joined her husband Roy to the shewolf Marcia and should have ended forever with the fire. But it hadn't. Roy and Marcia were still alive ... and deadly...and thirsty for the most horrifying vengeance imaginable....
A stirring story of Leo Buscaglia's travels from Japan and Hong Kong to Cambodia and Calcutta on his personal quest for discovery, searching for the bull--the Chinese symbol of life--in himself and all of us, the bull that must remain untethered and free to explore.
Keeper of a terrible secret and resigned to a fate some might regard as worse than death, Alice White lives alone, has no friends and permits herself human contact only in the arms of men she picks up for one-night stands. Once a month, at the full moon, Alice locks herself inside her basement and turns into a wolf. In this riveting debut, Danvers gives suspension of disbelief a whole new meaning. Never for an instant does the reader doubt Alice's plight nor fail to empathize with her dilemma: Should she , for the first time in her life, risk loving someone enough to share the secret with him? She wants desperately to end her self-imposed isolation but fears the awful truth will drive Erik Summers away. Wildlife biologist Summers, a man with a keen sensitivity to the anmial world, seems the ideal counterpart for the troubled Alice. Complicating these already dark matters still further are Summer's ex-wife, who wants him back, and Alice's psychiatrist, who has fallen in love with her. Human complications notwithstanding, it is when we are with Alice the wolf--prowling her den, pawing the floor, confined, condemned, yet unmistakably alive--that this provocative novel is at its sensuous, page-turning best.

Dickson's style of fantasy hearkens back to the era before both the glossy epic approach of Robert Jordan or Terry Brooks and the pseudo-postmodern slickness of Ellen Kushner or Pamela Dean, but it has its own special charms. In this new story about James and Angela Eckert (following The Dragon, the Earl, and the Troll), the author's meticulous historical research salvages what in the hands of a lesser talent could have been a pedestrian work. The Eckerts are 20th-century humans trapped in the 14th century, where Jim has discovered that he possesses magical powers. Here, Jim agrees to help his friend Sir Brian Neville-Smythe find the father of Brian's beloved Geronde, so that Brian and Geronde may wed. The father was last known to be in the Muslim land of Palmyra, and Dickson's fascination with the cultures of that area proves infectious. While the adventures here are cut from standard fantasy cloth?kidnappings, caravans and sorcery abound?the detailing is marvelous. Also appealing are Jim's pet hobgoblin, Hob, and the djinn named Kelb, who generally appears in the form of a small, mangy dog; both provide comic diversion.
Gordon R. Dickson continues his thrilling saga-the tale of a twentieth-century
American transformed into a Dragon Knight and transported into a fantastic medieval
adventure!
Serpent or dragon-which is the stronger? Raised from the deep and ready to fight,
the mighty serpents of the sea challenge Sir James, the Dragon Knight, in a

Folklore, fairy tales and dream symbols are called on to help restore women's neglected intuitive and instinctive abilities in this earthy first book by a Jungian analyst. According to Estes, wolves and women share a psychic bond in their fierceness, grace and devotion to mate and community. This comparison defines the archetype of the Wild Woman, a female in touch with her primitive side and able to rely on gut feelings to make choices. The tales here, from various cultures, are not necessarily about wolves; instead, they illuminate fresh perspectives on relationships, self-image, even addiction. An African tale of twins who baffle a man represents the dual nature of woman; from the Middle East, a story about a threadbare but secretly magic carpet shows society's failure to look beyond appearances. Three brief, ribald stories advocate a playful, open sexuality; other examples suggest ways to deal with anger and jealousy. At times, Estes's commentary--in which she urges readers to draw upon and enjoy their Wild Woman aspects--is hyperbolic, but overall her widely researched study offers usable advice for modern women
Private investigator Herald Childe watches a snuff movie of his partner being brutally murdered. The subsequent pursuit of his killers takes him through the LA smog and into a waking nightmare of sexual brutality and supernatural bestiality: the most extreme and disturbing case of his career. Here presented with the sequel, Blown, The Image of the Beast is award-winning sci-fi writer, Philip Jose Farmer at his best.
How far the mighty have fallen. Lily Angelica DeLaVega was the werewolf queen until her powers were stolen. Now, she feels as if she is a shadow of herself, stalked by two different entities. The king of the lupine, Sebastian, has come to patiently wait, even years, to destroy his now mortal enemy. Tony White Hawk, who loathes all werewolves for murdering his wife five years ago, lures her to Ebony Canyon in order for an ancient prophecy to begin to take hold.
Where Lily goes, the other werewolves will follow even though to do so brings with it the possibility of destroying the People. However, the Shaman knows that the prophesy must be fulfilled even though it means a great war between good and evil. As the fight gets nearer, Tony and Lily fall in love, but he is not sure whether to trust her to fight on his side when the debacle begins. Even if they survive the fight, unless, he can learn to trust her, this couple has no long term future together.
Applauded for her unique ability to blend romance, history, and the wonders of the paranormal into unforgettable novels, Tracy Fobes has taken her flair for the otherworldly to the Scottish Highlands, where a mysterious beauty discovers her true identity.
The villagers think her one of the fairy-folk, for she was found wandering the Highlands at the age of four, able to communicate with the creatures of the moors. Now eighteen, Sarah quietly uses her gift to heal wounded animals. But when word of the lovely changeling spreads, her peaceful existence is shattered.
Convinced Sarah is his long-lost daughter, the powerful Duke of Argyll offers to bequeath her his estate if she will but take her place in society. Her first duty is to become a lady -- under the tutelage of the duke's erstwhile heir, the dangerously provocative Earl of Cawdor. Sarah savors the simmering passions the cynical earl arouses in her even as she suspects he is merely using seduction to secure his birthright. In this civilized world where desire and deception are one and the same, how can she ever trust in love?
After dancing with, and somehow insulting Lady Catherine MacClelland, Nicholas, duke of Effington goes to her home to apologize. Instead he winds up drinking whiskey and helping her father, Iain, deliver a foal. After expressing a keen interest in his father's ring, Iain informs Nicholas that he will marry Catherine. Rather put out by the old mans demand, he refuses - until he reads a letter that Iain sent to his mother. The MacClellands return to Scotland and before he dies, Iain arranges for Catherine's marriage, hoping that she and Nicholas will fall in love and thereby break the curse of the grimalkin. Catherine is horrified by Iain's traitorous action for she fears that Nicholas will discover her beastly secret if they marry. Yet Nicholas, unsure if Catherine and her father were in cahoots, marries her immediately to assure that his secret stays safe. Nicholas learns firsthand that the grimalkin legend is actually true, and it pleases Catherine that he is protective of the beast. But will they fall in love and be free of the curse? Every time they seem to get closer, someone or something thwarts their progress. Ultimately it is the legend itself that holds the final key to their happiness and freedom. But can Nicholas decipher it and convince Catherine to agree to its terms?
A near-sighted holy man, cast upon an island some-where off the Breton coast, proceeds to baptize the population. Unfortunately, this population consists entirely of penguins. However, when through Divine Grace all are granted the dubious privilege of becoming human, their history begins-and one of the most devastating satiric allegories ever conceived is set in motion. Written with the singular combination of elegant style and uncompromising irony of which Anatole France was a master, Penguin Island is a scalpel-like dissection of human stupidity, hypocrisy, sham and fraud. Sex, war, religion, business and politics, all are delineated by a pen dipped in acid. Though events in this extraordinary work correspond to the course of French history, the reader will have no difficulty in relating the author's concerns-whether they be reforming politicians who turn conservative at the first taste of power, or generals who climb to glory upon the corpses of soldiers-with contemporary realities. For, as David Caute writes in his keenly observed Introduction, "the target of Anatole France's sharp and destruc-tive wit is in reality the whole of Western civilization."

I'm Anita Blake, expert on creatures of the night. Vampires call me The Executioner.
What I call them isn't repeatable.
Ever since the Supreme Court granted the undead equal rights, most people think
vampires are just ordinary folks with fangs. I know better. I've seen their
victims. I carry the scars…
In my job- I'm an animator; I raise the dead - I've seen just about everything.
I've dined with shapeshifters, danced with werewolves and been wooed, but not
won, by Jean-Claude, the most powerful bloodsucker in St. Louis. When a serial
killer started murdering vampires, it was Jean-Claude who wanted me to
find the killer.
Later, a rogue vamp named Alejandro hit town and wanted to make me his human
servant. A war of the undead had begun. Over me. I'd have been flattered, if
my life weren't at stake.
Speaking of life…and death… every animator worth her salt knows that the odler
the zombie, the bigger the death needed to raise it. After a few centuries,
the only death "big enough" is a human sacrifice. Now I'm no assassin - sure
I kill vampires - and I don't do it for the money - but I don't kill
people. Like I said, working for Animators, Inc. is just a job, like
selling insurance. But all the money in the world wasn't enough for me to take
the job Harold Gaynor was offering. Somebody else did, though- an insane animator.
And he wasn't just raising the dead… he was raising Hell.
And it was up to me to stop it…
Cooper Falls is a small, quiet New Hampshire town, the kind you'd miss if you blinked an eye. But when darkness falls and the full moon rises, an uneasy feeling filters through the air; an unnerving foreboding that causes the skin to prickle and the body to tense.Because faintly, from across the water, a low moaning howl begins to rise and a massive black shadow with burning green eyes stalks the night. It is part man, part beast-a victim of the past, a creature of evil-who hungers for flesh, thirsts for blood and lives to kill ...again and again and again...

Front cover blurb: From the primeval rain forests an uncontrolled substance- never intended for consumption by the civilized mind
back cover synopsis:
The jungle has its own truth: lyric, violent, erotic, primeval
To the warroir-priests of the Venezuelan forest people, the drug is a sacred
substance: part pain, part pleasure. Skullflush is psychic whiplash, an exhilerating
gateway to an advanced conciousness beyond time and species. For millenia the
primitive tribe has kept its secret safe from civilization. Until a ruthless
drug lord skips with a stolen six-kilo stash- intending to peddle his prize
in the nighclubs of Florida.
Tampa's thrill seekers are eager to sample the pale green powder. But generations
of urbanized decadence have left them jaded, shallow, and weak…too weak to handle
the drug's mystic high. The ancient rain forest chemistry warps bone, muscle,
and sinew in their city-soft bodies, setting free the fierce power of man's
basic nature.
In summer, magic is warmly borne on the gentle, wafting breeze.
It is a season of many wonders, with many secrets ripe for discovering ...and
some best left in shadow, unexplored. Summer has come to Sauterelle Lake. And
inquisitive young Nick is discovering many things he doesn't want to know: About
a pretty girl with hypnotic eyes who talks to his soul...
About a wild creature-a wolf-whose features shine with an intelligent, un-lupine
knowing... About a strange, inhospitable family occupying a cabin that is meant
to be empty.
This summer, nature's magic is not the only sorcery traveling on the wind.
And the real trick will be surviving until the autumn.

"He was Galen Sword by day...but who was he by night...?
Galen Sword was known as a rich New York playboy. The public didn't know that
his Porsche contained state of the art equipment designed to track down an extraordinary
creature, or that Galen was actually on a dangerous quest to find another world...his
world. Shadowy memories of being sent away from his beloved parents had given
Galen an obsession: to get back to a parallel universe where he had been heir
to a powerful dynasty- but had been born unacountably and unacceptably human.
To find his way home now, he had to capture a beast that corssed over from that
world into the city's dark streets looking for prey: a werewolf...alive deadly,
and very real. But trying to stop Galen was a race of brutal magical beings,
armed with a power that was terrifying and perhaps unbeatable..."

part in the Firstborn's prophesy. Yet Keely,a true daughter of the Lion, is
no weak pawn to be used in men's games of power and diplomacy. Trained alongside
her brothers in the art of war, gifted with more of the old magic than most
of her close kin, she will not easily give way even to Niall's commands, nor
be forced against her will into an arranged marriage.
But others besides keely's father have plans for her future. Strahan, the most
powerful Ihlini sorceror, is already preparing a trap from which even one as
magic gifted as Keely may find no escape. And in the deepwood, another waits
to challenge Keely, an outlaw fully as dangerous to her future freedom as Strahan
is to her life…

tyrant Bellam and his villanous magicians, restore the Cheysuli to their rightful
