HauntTV’s ‘Family Spirits’ Is the Paranormal Show That Hits Different

Leave a comment

Let’s be honest, the paranormal genre is full of filler. Screams, shaky cams, overused night vision. That’s why Family Spirits feels like a breath of fresh air.

Each episode focuses on people dealing with real loss. Real love. Real family stories. Yes, there’s the ghost stuff, but it’s treated with care, not as a gimmick.

Take Episode 110, A Violent Haunting. Two sisters revisit a childhood marked by terror and tragedy. What starts as a haunting becomes a reckoning. Or Episode 101, where a man believes his late grandfather, a decorated Air Force pilot, still guides his life path.

This show is personal. And that’s its power.

Family Spirits is now airing on HauntTV (available via Tubi, Roku, Sling TV FreeStream, Amazon Live) and streaming free on YouTube. You’ll come for the paranormal, but stay for the healing.

Hammer and Blood Shows What Happens When Survival Is the Only Option

Leave a comment

In Hammer and Blood, Viktor Bloodstone delivers a high-stakes narrative where every character is fighting to survive in a world that offers no mercy. This is a story about relentless pursuit, betrayal, and the harsh realities of violence.

Ptolemy Lindquist, one of the deadliest assassins, is ready to walk away from the life of killing to focus on his daughter Calista. His last mission to eliminate a small drug dealer turns into a battle against multiple armed adversaries who want him dead.

Zebadiah Seeley returns home after serving only five years in prison for horrific crimes. His property has been taken over by drug runners and he is determined to take it back at any cost.

Calista seeks a peaceful vacation with her friends at a lake house. Instead, she finds herself caught in a web of secrets and danger. The absence of the house owner and the suspicious behavior of her boyfriend only heighten the tension.

These three narratives intersect at a remote location where an unstoppable psychopath wearing a bear’s head waits. The fight to survive is brutal and unforgiving. In Hammer and Blood, no one escapes unscathed.

Behind the Red Nose: The Cosmic Insanity Driving The Killer of Devils: Clowns

Leave a comment

There’s a method to the madness in The Killer of Devils. As the clowns pile up and the bodies fall, it becomes clear that the face paint is more than a disguise — it’s a symptom. Of something older. Something spreading. Bloodstone weaves a layered mythology beneath the horror, hinting at cosmic dread and mental unraveling that goes far beyond the surface violence. The result is a book that’s as psychologically unnerving as it is action-packed — a rare balance, pulled off with expert control.

Synopsis

Calista “Cali” Lindquist is a final girl. She had to fight and destroy an unkillable beast. Now, she and her mother hunt monsters.

On a crusade to ensure no one else experiences such horror and loss, Cali and her mother travel to Philadelphia to track a depraved soul who uses face paints and magic tricks to prey on the innocent. While hunting that monster, they cross paths with Collin, a faithful and treacherous follower of the enigmatic figure, Master Poppie. Building an army using an insanity inducing powder that turns regular people into murderous lunatics with painted faces, Collin and Master Poppie have their sights set on a dangerous prize.

As the number of villainous clowns increases, as well as the number of brutal deaths by their hands, Cali puts herself directly in their path. Speeding on a collision course of terror and carnage, she is ready to pay any price to keep the streets from running red with the blood of unsuspecting victims. However, beyond the horde of bloodthirsty clowns, there is one factor that could derail Cali’s mission she never took into consideration – her past.

It’s monster hunter versus murder clowns in an all-out battle of madness and mayhem! 

“The Killer of Devils features mobs of psychotic clowns, a kick-clown-ass heroine, and enough bloody mayhem and dark humor to fill a shopping mall. I loved every crazy, twisted, f***ed-up word of it!”
SAWNEY HATTON, author of Everyone is a Moon

Leave a comment

A graphic novel of the enchanting prequel to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit—the classic fantasy that inspired Peter Jackson’s major motion picture trilogy.

When Thorin Oakenshield and his band of dwarves embark upon a dangerous quest to reclaim the hoard of gold stolen from them by the evil dragon Smaug, Gandalf the wizard suggests an unlikely accomplice: Bilbo Baggins, an unassuming Hobbit dwelling in peaceful Hobbiton.

Along the way, the company faces trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and worse. But as they journey from the wonders of Rivendell to the terrors of Mirkwood and beyond, Bilbo will find that there is more to him than anyone—himself included—ever dreamed. Unexpected qualities of courage and cunning, and a love of adventure, propel Bilbo toward his great destiny . . . a destiny that waits in the dark caverns beneath the Misty Mountains, where a twisted creature known as Gollum jealously guards a precious magic ring.

This comprehensive edition collects the three-issue series originally published by Eclipse Comics and thereafter augmented with many pages of additional artwork and improvements. Carefully abridged from Tolkien’s classic novel, and brought thrillingly to life with striking, evocative art by David Wenzel, this graphic novel is a perennial delight to Hobbit fans old and new.

The Death King by Penelope Barsetti

Leave a comment

I was fifteen when the Death King came for us.

With a mighty black dragon and the ability to command the dead, he raised an army of our fallen soldiers to fight for him—and conquered us in the night. My father, King Laurier of Scorpion Valley, couldn’t stop him. I tried to flee but came face to face with the man in black armor, the man who looked more like a god than a human. Instead of killing me, he chose to show me mercy…but it didn’t feel like mercy.

Not when the next ten years of my life are spent as a slave in the Arid Sands, digging for Black Diamonds from sunrise to sunset. I’m also the personal slave of General Titan—a man who has grown obsessed with me. The work under the hot sun is unbearable—but I prefer it to his company any day. I’ve never tried to escape because there’s nowhere to run in the desert, but all of that changes when I hear the news—that the Death King is coming.

I sneak out in the middle of the night to steal his dragon, but that backfires in my face—because you can’t steal a dragon. Khazmuda is no mindless beast. He can speak directly into my mind and hear my thoughts in return. The Death King is about to kill me, but Khazmuda changes his mind—because I have the gift.

The ability to speak with dragons.

The Death King spares my life once again and takes me back to his castle. He has no idea who I am, has no idea what he did to my family ten years ago. He asks me to fight for his cause—but he won’t tell me exactly what that cause is. And then he tells me he wants more from me…desires me more than any other because, like him, I have the gift.

I can’t deny he’s the most handsome man I’ve ever seen, with eyes black like midnight, a jawline as sharp as his dragon’s talons, the height of a mountain, and shoulders as broad as a stream. But no amount of attraction will ever change the fact that he destroyed my life. The answer is no—and it’ll always be no.

But the Death King doesn’t accept that answer.

Trigger Warning: Contains dark themes including rape and suicide.

Claimed By Lucifer by Elizabeth Briggs

I made a deal with the devil. Now he claims I’m his fated mate.

When my best friend goes missing in Las Vegas, there’s only one man I can turn to for help.

Lucas Ifer. Billionaire playboy. CEO of Abaddon Inc. King of Sin City. And…the devil himself?

Lucas—aka Lucifer—agrees to help me, but in exchange he wants one thing: me.

He’s dark, dangerous, and wickedly handsome. Oh, and evil incarnate. I should say no, but I can’t. I’m that desperate.

But when you make a deal with the devil, there’s no escaping it. Now he owns my body for seven nights of sin.

Even worse, he says I’m his fated mate and that we have a past stretching back through time—but I don’t remember any of it.

I’m Persephone being claimed by Hades, and I have no choice but to enter his underworld and become his dark queen.

Is there any light left in that black heart? Or will his darkness consume me?

This collection contains all four books in the Claimed By Lucifer series: Demon King, Devilish Mate, Infernal God, and Death Lord. That’s over 800 pages featuring a sinfully sexy Hades and Persephone story with a Lucifer twist!
