Welcome to the Rabbit Hole. On our fifth excursion into the warren of the odd, 37 authors lead us down their own little burrows of strangeness : an army of penguins, music that cures, aliens that communicate through old cartoons, images of the future that save, unwanted visions of the now, and, oh yes, it is raining lawyers. All have one thing in common, they are just.plain.weird. Weird can be funny, weird can be sad, weird can be thoughtful, weird can be mad, but the one thing in common is that weird shares experiences you have, thankfully, never had. Just be careful, all little bunnies are not nice, but they are memorable. A Writers Co-op ProductionCover image adapted from an original design by Ian Bristow

The Rabbit Hole - Weird Stories, #3

"Life is a journey, not a destination." - Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson's point has been echoed by many, but in the Land of the Weird the question arises, "A journey to what destination?"  At the same time, you might ask, "Is the journey therefore the destination?"  The journey may well be an individual's destination, because it will define them physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  And in the Land of the Weird, that journey can take twists and turns that amuse, sadden, or horrify.        This trip into the Land of the Weird offers you 39 unique trails to follow, assisted by 35 different guides, each leading you down their own singular paths, manifesting their own view of journey as destination, some laughing, some weeping, and some, eyes wide with fear, shaking as they point out the spectral footpath for you to follow on your way down The Rabbit Hole.   A Writers Co-op Production Stories by: Chere Taylor, Brian R.

That too can be arranged - at a cost. All this and more in 29 stories to leave you pondering realms beyond our perception. Unless, perhaps, they've been there all along but we just weren't looking the right way.29 writers, 29 ways into weird.

The Rabbit Hole - Weird Stories, #2

A house deep in the country. Shutters closed, surrounded by a 12-foot fence. Cameras inside. And food. Mountains of food.

Communication with the outside world.'Five missing teenagers.'Don't worry, they'll be back soon. They must have just run away.'Or is it something more sinister? What is going on in Mystery Manor?As the clock runs down, Magali and Charlotte hunt for clues all over France in a desperate attempt to find out. Are you ready to join them?It's a journey you won't forget.

Mystery Manor - Magali Rousseau mystery series, #4

"I'd like you to find the person who killed my son."The tone is set with Charlotte Perle's first words to Magali Rousseau. No ordinary request, this - it's one that calls for empathy, tenacity, thoroughness. Qualities which Magali has in abundance. And the bond between the two women grow into something far beyond the search for a murderer. Friendship, love, a deep and lasting complicity - Magali's life is utterly changed by the arrival of Charlotte. Which is all to the good, except for one serious drawback - the risk of losing it. A risk which, in this line of work, can become reality any time. One Green Bottle, Cash in Carry, Perfume Island, Mystery Manor - the four novels in this box set highlight Magali and Charlotte in four different investigations, spread over two years. From the hunt for a serial killer to a devastating journey into horror, these books form an unforgettable exploration of darkness. But one in which, with a friendship like theirs, there is always a place for laughter, always the possibility of light.
