While most patrons strive to be strip club veterans, there are a chosen few who see beyond the bells and whistles, and focus mainly on intrinsic value and getting the most bang for their buck. Those strategic and resourceful patrons are the economists of the jungle. And they have a PhD in strip club economics. Written in the spirit of 18th-century political economist and philosopher, Adam Smith, Darius Allen aims to present the first comprehensive text on a field of study that is alive and bubbling, and extremely relevant in mainstream society.

Agents of the Arkana and the Nephilim leave no stone unturned on the island of Malta in their search for lost artifacts. The Arkana team frantically scavenges for clues among the ruined temples of the archipelago before their foes arrive to comb the same terrain. Matters come to a head in an isolated mountaintop cave when the relic hunters learn that their prize can only be discovered if they "keep true to the dragon's wing". With Nephilim operatives blocking their escape route, will they live long enough to solve the riddle?

The town sits alone. Empty. Overgrown. It’s like any southern town that residents desert and leave to fall to ruins. What isn’t like any usual small, abandoned town is that every 20-odd years, anyone in this town falls prey to a strange horde of monsters that enjoys nothing more than hurting humans. When a group of urban explorers discover the ruins of an old school building, they face the monsters, and they will endure more than they could ever imagine.

Beside the still water...the zombies roam. A slightly different take on the zombie genre, Smooth asks if the world be better if we were all neutral and complacent (without violence, greed, hatred, and yes, love, and compassion) in our personalities? The road to absolute peace is filled with more than just bumps and gravel when Catt Dahman tells it; heads will roll...literally. The town of Cold Springs is about to receive the gift of full serenity and some people intend to fight it (as well as the zombies) all the way to the end!

Jery Delvin had a most unusual talent. He could detect the flaws in any scheme almost on sight - even where they had eluded the best brains in the ad agency where he worked. So when the chief of World Security told him that he had been selected as the answer to the solar system's greatest mystery, Jery assumed that it was because of his mental agility. But when he got to Mars to find out why 15 boys had vanished from a spaceship in mid-space, he found out that even his quick mind needed time to pierce the maze of out-of-this-world double-dealing.

This delightfully humorous fantasy from the legendary 1950s Fantastic Stories pulp magazine begins with an ordinary Chicago librarian courting his beautiful (but insipid) fiancée. Shortly afterwards, she and her family are zapped into a parallel world by two real estate gangsters. Albert turns the table on the gangsters, but then finds that his own time has become warped. He meets two creatures from an alternate world and in short order crosses with them over into a horizon-less, magical realm.
