About this listen
Welcome to New Orleans, Christmas Eve, 1946.
The Darkness of New Orleans dozed fitfully during the war years, waiting for its chance to play with its toys again.
It was a Darkness as carefully hidden as the gates to the small courtyards that lurk between buildings in the French Quarter.
In the Le Prete Mansion, a movie is just now wrapping up, having spawned madness in trying to film a seductive tale of death and mystery.
Disenfranchised spirits have been sent to the hell of their birth. One lost spirit has found a new home in the body of a French Quarter policewoman. Her lover has found the chance to renew a romance he thought lost forever.
But Cosmic Scales always demand balance.
Slamming one cosmic door jars opens another behind which impatient entities slither out to invoke vengeance and retribution…or just sate long starved bloodlust.
In the Ponchartrain Hotel another movie is being born, its cast and crew unaware that beings long dormant are walking the hallways and rooms in search of revenge. And if the original sinners are long dead, then they will just have to settle for the new ones that cross their paths.
So the Black Frog injects the venom into hapless victims that was spat upon it in life.
The fabled Moon Dial of Memphis grants the fondest wish of those who bask in its eerie light and only think they are willing to pay its price.
The Jade Christmas revisits the sins of the past upon the sinner, seeking a peace she will never find.
Welcome to the most Otherworldly Christmas Eve you will ever try to survive.
"There are dark shadows on the earth,
but its lights are stronger in the contrast."

Story
All I wanted was a burrito. My name is Brandon Ferryman. I went out one night to get a burrito. Who knew that such a simple thing would change my life, or end it? I woke up on the side of the road with some pumpkin-headed monster saying he was the god of death, fate, and justice. I was chosen to run a very special establishment. A place that lay between worlds. A place called the Coffin Hotel. Now I have to fight monsters, free spirits, and run a mystical hotel. I'm clearly not qualified, but when has that ever stopped anyone from doing anything.

A secret government unit is formed under the oversight of Adam Harrison, famed paranormal investigator. The case: In a historic mansion in New Orleans’ French Quarter, a senator’s wife falls to her death from a balcony. Most think she jumped, distraught over the loss of her young son. Some say she was pushed. And yet others believe she was beckoned by the ghostly spirits that inhabit the house - once the site of a serial killer’s grisly work.

Story
My name is Nate Temple, and I’m secretly a wizard. I ride a foul-mouthed unicorn, I drink with Achilles, and I’m pals with the Four Horsemen. I’ve even cow-tipped the Minotaur. I understand the theory of following the rules...I’m just not very good at the application. Because rules were meant to be broken, and St. Louis has a bit of a supernatural infestation these days. Someone should probably be keeping an eye on these things -and probably an eye on me, too. Before I blow up another building...or three.

Story
My name is Nate Temple, and I’m secretly a wizard. I ride a foul-mouthed unicorn, I drink with Achilles, and I’m pals with the Four Horsemen. I’ve even cow-tipped the Minotaur. I understand the theory of following the rules...I’m just not very good at the application. Because rules were meant to be broken, and St. Louis has a bit of a supernatural infestation these days. Someone should probably be keeping an eye on these things -and probably an eye on me, too. Before I blow up another building...or three.

Story
You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.
