BOOKS UNDER RE-BRANDING! (The stories and characters are still the same, just company change) Dear reader, My name is Hara Yokauchi Hiro, Sorry, this is crazy. I just talk into the camera? Okay. I, uh, live in Tokyo, and I'm an anime artist, an intern at Takeshi productions. I grew up Shenzhen, China, then moved to Hong Kong to explore and expand my artistic skills. I didn't move to Japan until I landed my dream job, as I mentioned earlier. I love to create. Anime brings life to my soul, loving every aspect of its culture and traditions. I have always been a dreamer, having this insane desire to lose myself in the magical worlds I create. One day I'd love to produce my very own featured film, hiring the best Asian actors, showcasing masterful martial arts, wowing the audience with my imagination. Oh yeah, I love Martial Arts, having practiced it for half my life. I have studied them all to precision, and it's a must when illustrating fight scenes through my art. I had to understand and know Aikido, Iaido, Judo, and the well-known Karate! (My hands are up in fighting position) I believe every creative person has a sense of sadness in them. I mean, when I manifest such imaginative things and epic scenarios, only to wake up in my small apartment to sounds of people yelling, cars honking, and banging on the walls, it's depressing. Then, I received a letter that seemed stranger than anything I could come up with. And, this man named Pierce asked me if I wanted to star in my own movie, only that this time there are no cameras. There will be no waking up to honking cars and my neighbors dumping rotten fish out her window. I said, where do I sign. -Hara Hiro.

[Completed] Elysia's life is turned upside-down when she's abducted by supernatural creatures with demonic eyes and threatening fangs. What's worse is she has no idea what it is they want from her, except that it has something to do with a side of her that she's never known. The chances of Elysia getting out alive are slim, but perhaps with a bit of luck and a lot of bravery she can escape with more than just her life. Excerpt: ''What trick is this?'' The creature asked, but it didn't sound like a vicious question. He sounded... confused. When I didn't answer, he appeared in front of me, snatching my face in his hand once more and growling. ''What is that on your back?'' ''I don't know,'' I blindly answered, but corrected myself quickly when his grip tightened dangerously, ''It's a birth mark, the doctors called it a... a Lichtenberg figure. My mother said I was born with it, I swear it, even though it's usually what happens when you survive being struck-'' ''-by lightning.''

"The Cask of Amontillado" (sometimes spelled "The Casque of Amontillado") is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in the November 1846 issue of Godey's Lady's Book. The story, set in an unnamed Italian city at carnival time in an unspecified year, is about a man taking fatal revenge on a friend who, he believes, has insulted him. Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative revolves around a person being buried alive - in this case, by immurement. As in "The Black Cat" and "The Tell-Tale Heart", Poe conveys the story from the murderer's perspective. Cover by the lovely @theygotnone

"The Tell-Tale Heart" is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1843. It is relayed by an unnamed narrator who endeavors to convince the reader of his sanity while simultaneously describing a murder he committed. The victim was an old man with a filmy "vulture-eye", as the narrator calls it. The narrator emphasizes the careful calculation of the murder, and he hides the body by dismembering it, and hiding it under the floorboards. Ultimately, the narrator's feelings of guilt, or a mental disturbance, result in him hearing a thumping sound, which he interprets as the dead man's beating heart. Cover by the lovely @FayLane.

"Annabel Lee" is the last complete poem composed by American author Edgar Allan Poe. Like many of Poe's poems, it explores the theme of the death of a beautiful woman. Cover by: @KatrinHollister

BOOKS UNDER RE-BRANDING! (The stories and characters are still the same, just company change) Dear Reader? ...nope. I'm not introducing myself. Ridiculous. This is an absolute mistake, and something I will take up with Pierce, and if I have to file a complaint with HR, I will. I have too much to deal with than this prank that was likely set up by the accounting department. Picture a bunch of nerds getting off by doing things that only geeks do, like forge fake FGI letters and deliver them to the staff, barely able to hold in their childish merit. I'm confused about why they're not letting me leave this confessional. So, I'm just going to sit here. I mean, it's not like I'm needed every waking second! When I find out who locked me in here, there will be hell to pay. I will unleash an unholy amount of pain and suffering upon the dork that thought this was funny. I'm not above grabbing one of them by the throat and shoving their head into a toilet. It's not enough that I get my underwear stolen daily?! I don't think anyone paid attention to the sexual harassment conference we all had to attend for a damn week. Another thing, everyone knows I have severe anger issues, and I don't see why it's funny always to antagonize me like this! The door is still locked? Someone's coming. Okay, this is hilarious. Now they are telling me that Pierce will be coming for my briefing? That's my job, I set up the presentations and make sure FGI shapeshifter-agents are certified and ready to go into the field. I have a screening I have to be at! The next mission is happening, I can't be in here, I'm needed. Someone is getting fired, and it's not me. Apparently, they won't let me out until I say my name to the camera. I will say my name, but that does not mean Nerdville on the 5th floor won't go up in flames. Hi, my name is Zoya Romanovna and I'm pissed. Now, get me the hell out of here.

BOOKS UNDER RE-BRANDING! (The stories and characters are still the same, just company change) I'm supposed to introduce myself, I guess. My name is Camila Mastos De Cruz, I rarely give out my real name, so this is a first. I have been experiencing a lot of firsts. Where should I begin? I live a life on the run, never in one spot for too long. It's too risky in my line of work; one mistake could mean a life behind bars. Or, worse, a bullet to the head. I grew up in a life of extreme luxury, my father owning almost everyone in Brazil. Carlos Monteiro Cruz ran the biggest underground drug operation in four decades, feared by many. That was my dad, the one I looked up too. I know now why he taught me everything he knew on about how to stay alive - training me since I could remember. My father was murdered when I was sixteen leaving me abandoned. But, I know what you're thinking, such a tragic story. But at that point, I was already numb and ready to live my life how I wanted, on my terms. I could do this better than my father did. I would never make the same silly mistakes. My father's first mistake was me. It made him vulnerable. I will never be vulnerable. Or, that was the plan until I fell in love with Lucas Fontes. We were partners with like minds, and a hunger for passion-passion for adventure, passion for stealing costly things from wealthy people in high places. But he betrayed me. I am after all, my father's daughter. And now I sit in a pool of my blood, a knife sticking out of my stomach. But It does not end here for me as I thought. Something happens, an extraordinary and charming man comes out of the shadows to kneel before me with an offer of a lifetime. As I bleed to death. Whatever he is offering I have no choice but to agree, because I am dying. Beggars can't be choosers. Camila
