Book Worms

By W. G. Sweet (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

The gritty concrete pressed against my cheek, cold and unforgiving. A dull, throbbing ache pulsed behind my eyes, radiating outwards to claim every muscle, every fiber of my being. My body felt heavy, leaden, as if anchored to the ground by unseen chains. The air hung thick and cloying, a miasma of decay and something else… something feral, something primal. I coughed, the taste of blood metallic on my tongue, a coppery tang that clung to the back of my throat.

My eyes flickered open, focusing slowly on the blurry shapes around me. The first thing I registered was the stench – the overwhelming stench of rot and garbage, a symphony of decay that assaulted my nostrils. #Horror #SciFi #Epic #Thriller #Drama #Kindle #Audible

“I heard about this new Italian restaurant that opened up on the other side of town,” he continued, his voice still laced with that soft, hopeful tone. “Apparently, the pasta is supposed to be incredible. Handmade, authentic. I was… I was wondering if you might be interested in trying it with me sometime? Perhaps this coming weekend?” He offered a slightly self-conscious smile, a touch of vulnerability in his expression that made him all the more endearing. “It’s not exactly the gallery, but… it’s a different kind of experience. A chance to… well, to continue this conversation, perhaps, in a more relaxed setting?” #Romance #Readers #KU #Kindle #Amazon #LindseyRivers

Synopsis

The world exploded in a cacophony of pain. A throbbing in my skull, a dull roar in my ears, a nauseating stench that clung to the back of my throat – these were the first sensations that pierced the darkness. My eyes fluttered open, met not by the comforting glow of dawn but by a chaotic panorama of shattered concrete, twisted metal, and the horrifying tableau of broken bodies. I was trapped, bound tightly, my wrists and ankles secured by thick, rough rope that bit into my flesh.

Panic, sharp and icy, clawed its way up my throat. I tried to scream, but a choked gasp was all that escaped my lips, the pain in my head a relentless hammer against my skull. Dust, thick and gritty, coated my skin, filling my mouth and nostrils with the acrid taste of decay. The air itself was heavy, a suffocating blend of blood, vomit, and something else…something indescribably foul, the smell of death settling over everything like a shroud. #ApocalypticFiction #Horror #Readers #Kobo #Thriller #Drama

Charles Block has escaped his holding cell, and no one seems able or willing to find him…

The pattern of Block’s previous criminal activities revealed a clear progression. He started with smaller, albeit complex, financial crimes, gradually escalating to more ambitious heists that required intricate planning and the manipulation of multiple systems. The move towards physical logistics, as evidenced by his presumed involvement with the Crimson Syndicate, was a logical, albeit terrifying, evolution. It was the ultimate expression of his ability to control and manipulate the flow of resources, to operate with impunity in the arteries of global commerce. Corbin felt a chill crawl up his spine. Block wasn’t just a thief; he was a logistical architect of illicit trade, a man who could render entire borders invisible.

The email arrived on a Tuesday, nestled amongst press releases about a new city ordinance and a celebrity chef opening a pop-up restaurant. Its subject line, “Assignment: Blackwood Creek Disappearances,” was bland enough to be ignorable, but Clara’s editor, a man who subsisted on a diet of caffeine and sensationalism, had flagged it with a rare “URGENT” and a single, emphatic exclamation mark. Just another ghost story peddled by a town desperate for attention, or perhaps a clever cover for something far more mundane, yet equally grim, like serial killings or human trafficking… #Horror #Readers #KU #DellSweet #Thriller #Mystery #Kindle

The Trap

The air hung thick and heavy, a miasma of stale cigarette smoke, cheap weed, and something else… something indefinably rotten. It clung to the peeling wallpaper, to the stained mattress shoved against the wall, to the very fabric of the room itself. This wasn’t just a dilapidated apartment in Harlem; it was a tomb, a suffocating cage built from neglect and despair. Rose-Lee, her eyes sharp and assessing, took it all in, the grime, the shadows, the sense of impending doom that settled like a shroud. Across the room, Alice huddled beneath a threadbare blanket, her eyes wide and fearful, a stark contrast to Rose-Lee’s steely gaze… #Crime #Thriller #Psychological #Readers #Urban
