Its title taken from the classic Dr. Know song written by the author, Kyle Toucher’s short novella Life Returns offers a look into domestic strife complicated by occult interference.

After the sudden death of their parents, Ian Emerson and his young sister Annie begin a new life with their Aunt Mary and Uncle John in mysterious Walpurgis County. It soon becomes evident that Aunt Mary who had shunned the children for years harbors a valid reason for such prolonged detachment. Uncle John, a man dedicated to his obsessions, has laid a nefarious plan for their future, one of servitude and agony.

On the windblown threshold of winter, a final confrontation takes place in the benighted, freezing basement of the house on Gethsemane Lane. With Annie in one hand and the power of The Shadowless Ones in the other, Uncle John revels as a tear in reality, the Shimmer opens, and an ancient, throbbing mechanism, The Machine, asserts its will…

But aunt Mary has had enough.
And Uncle John won’t stay dead… $0.00 on Kindle.

In 1987, Ollie, his children from a previous marriage, Sam and Jodi Lee, and his romantic partner Dwayne start anew on a farm near a small and quiet farming community tucked deep in rural and open country. Ollie takes employment as a deputy with the local Sheriff’s Department, leaving Dwayne home to help with toddler Sam and teen Jodi Lee. Dwayne adjusts to his new role and struggles to balance AA support, his own medical illness, and tending Ollie’s children. He is met, also, with harsh homophobic attitudes from locals, most notably from the local pharmacist who refuses to fill his prescription outright, worsening his condition and allowing Ollie’s children to wear him to his breaking point. Headlines explode when a high school girl is found murdered and Ollie works tirelessly in catching the murderer named The Visitor, for his hiding in the guest room closet until dark. Ollie’s eagerness and his drive keep him too busy to notice his family spinning apart. Thus unravels a tense and unsettling queer character study that examines narcissism, codependency, and self-worth, and explores if we are truly capable of escaping the worst parts of ourselves or are we prisoner to our self-destructive cycles? $0.99 on Kindle.

Jordan Peele’s Get Out meets Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes.

Abandoned at birth on Chicago’s South Side, Henry Lewis’s life could have easily become a cautionary tale. But the good nuns at St. Vincent’s Orphanage prepared him for a life outside their walls. . . even if he was Black.

Twenty-five years later, Henry is still plagued by the questions of the past and his prospects for the future. With the White soldiers coming home from the war and more Southern Blacks heading north in search of a better life, his prospects for the future seem bleak. His job, home, and family have become the shackles that bind him in the prison of his mind. He longs to be free of it. . . for at least a little while.

When Henry learns the circus has arrived in his Bronzeville neighborhood, he sneaks away in the night, hoping to find a brief escape from his troubles. When he arrives, he discovers all the circus performers and patrons are White. Stranger still, they couldn’t have been more welcoming. With a world of distractions all around him, he finally feels free. Madam Calista draws the Tarot cards, answering the questions that plague his mind. John Daily, the charismatic Ringleader, introduces him to a world of wonder and offers opportunities he could have never imagined. He can have it all, so long as he abandons everything and everyone he’s ever known.

But the circus paints a bright facade over a dark past, and the freer he feels, the more bound he becomes. It isn’t until his life goes into a downward spiral of alcoholism, theft, and murder that he realizes the circus had set out to destroy him. What he can’t seem to understand is why? He needs to break away. But before he can save his future, he’ll have to discover the sinister truth about his past. The stakes are high, and time is running out.
