They say that people go there when they're ready to die. They say Death himself is a patron. That's where the tavern gets its name. Azrael's Stop. Watering hole for the Angel of Death. But that's just rumour. Ceph doesn't trade in rumour. He just serves drinks. Except, of course, that every couple of weeks, someone dies at Azrael's Stop. Azrael’s Stop is an experimental fiction and music project, about life, death, and friendship. It is the story of a mystical tavern and how the people who go there develop over the course of a year: Ceph, the seventeen-year-old bartender who has seen all his loved ones die; Tom, the depressed old man, whom death will not take; Rye, who visits every day, though he died a year ago; Nael, the blind minstrel who saw war too young; Lona, the mysterious hunter of the dead; Trin, the girl who refuses to deal with her past; and the crow who watches over it all, cawing only when someone dies in Azrael's Stop. Azrael's Stop is part of a larger storytelling project by Silverstring Media, Inc., and is best enjoyed accompanied by the Azrael's Stop Official Soundtrack, which includes music referenced in this story.

Craitol and Renuih, two empires a world apart, divided by the desert that lies between them, a desert ruled by the Shadow Men. An uneasy peace holds sway in both realms, the calm hiding longstanding feuds and bitter rivalries that burst to the surface following a Shadow Men raid on the capital of Renuih. Masiph id Ezern, the unfavored son of the Imperial Vazeir, is wounded during the raid. As he recovers from his injuries, his dissatisfaction with his place, and his desire to forge a different path for himself, lead him into the arms of a conspiracy to overthrow the empire. In Craitol, Vyissan, a mysterious alkemycal practitioner begins a journey to Renuih, the latest strike in a long war over who shall control the secrets of alkemya and the realm itself. He carries with him a secret that, once revealed, will reverberate across all realms. But first he has to cross the desert. Realm of Shadows is the first volume in The Shadow Men, a richly imagined epic fantasy. The second volume, A Council of Shadows will be available in June, 2014.

“The most startling discovery to never be made.” Some conspiracies remain theories. Others become obsessions. Exhumed 100 years after their penning, the Lost DMB Files will reinterpret the way you see the world, or the way it sees you. Product Description: Dime novelist and pulp fiction writer, David Mark Brown, mysteriously disappeared during the 1930’s. Until recently, his obscure writings had all but been forgotten.
