Heaven has been abandoned. The Kingdom has fallen into disrepair. Prayers are going unanswered. An eldritch being named Irene — her true name too dangerous to speak — and her sisters intend to fix it. To do so, they need a Warlock. Caspar Cartwright is a hapless hedge mage saved from the scaffold and sent back to the living with Irene's power at his fingertips and a mission branded into his heart: face the servants of the dead god, find the key, and open the gate to the Kingdom. A dark and unconventional romance between a mortal mage and something far older and stranger than humanity.

Octavia blames magical girls for the collateral damage that killed her parents and left her disabled. In the decades since the wall between the waking world and the Dreamlands came crashing down, no firepower can match divine favour — only young women chosen by the Dream-Gods of Earth can turn back the Nightmares that creep through the open wound in reality cutting through England's heart. Octavia's greatest wish is to go unnoticed, to swallow her rage and her desire, ignoring a hopeless love for her best friend as university parts them forever. But then a magical girl attacks another in a terrorist bombing, and Octavia finds herself arrested — both witness and suspect. The only way out is a contract with a Dream-God, but this divine trickster isn't from Earth. Fugitive and public enemy, she discovers there's a whole other type of magical girl — and now she's one of them. Freedom and revenge no longer seem impossible, but things worse than Nightmares are seeping through the ragged edges of reality, and Octavia knows she's a pawn in a cosmic game.

Jakob was only seven when he was summoned to Helmsgarten's sewers by the Fleshcrafter calling himself Grandfather. For seven painful years, Jakob studied the depraved craft of his monstrous mentor, before being let loose on the populace of the metropolis. With the vague task of creating the ultimate being to rival Grandfather's greatest creation, he is left with nothing but the flesh-stitched robes on his body and the loyal wight Heskel. Together, the pair explore a civilisation utterly alien to them, raised as they were in the dark and damp of the city's underbelly. Along his journey, Jakob constructs monsters and constructs, dodges the noose of the guards, joins the Adventurers' Guild in his voracious hunt for knowledge, and parleys with Demon Lords and Great Ones. Many who believe him a weak child suffer eternally for their arrogance. And in the end, even Grandfather must face the realisation that his creation is greater than he could ever have imagined.

Life was perfect: naps in sunbeams, stolen snacks, and expertly timed accidents to torment her favorite human.

Because the real horror was anything threatening her nap-snack-torment equilibrium.

Duke is offered $15,000 to paint a mural — with a catch. He must first see what his client wants painted, which means entering a private server: Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon, a survival horror full-immersion game where fantasy races clash with technology, giant monsters guard the gates of heaven, and players take the role of battlefield surgeons keeping those behemoths alive. But this server was not built for the game. It was built by the world's most sadistic minds as a place to bring victims, exploit the game's full-pain and realistic anatomy systems, and push them far beyond any normal breaking point — then bring them back and do it again. Trapped, Duke has one goal: survive, win the game, and become the most ruthless monster in the room.
