**Wattys 2016 Winner!** Fifteen-year-old Emmeline Jefferson doesn't have time away from the Demons. Not a minute to say goodbye to her family, not a moment to wonder "Why me?" Every second she's not possessed is spent begging stranger after stranger for help. But no one believes a sporadic girl who claims Demons have spent more time in her body than she has. No one until she finds Dumaine. Dumaine Chartres's whole life fits in his accordion case, his friends are nonexistent, and this fascinating girl is telling him Demons exist. These things all make perfect sense. What he doesn't understand is why humans have such outrageous issues with murder. Death is natural. If he wasn't supposed to kill anyone, they wouldn't have died. Nobody even noticed the bodies anyway. In return for a break from his internal demons, Dumaine offers Emmeline help, and she's willing to receive it from anyone. Maybe this boy can finally be the keeper she needs. Maybe chasing these Demons can explain why he's so different from everyone else. Maybe this friendship can work. With a wise but demented old man, and enough determination to perturb the Demons, Emmeline and Dumaine concoct a plan to unriddle their lives. The first step is to confront the Demon's creator. But something else seems to have found the creator first. And it only looks like an Angel. Human Spines is part one of a YA dark Urban Fantasy written in a style similar to Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me and Elana Johnson's Possession. It's the first of a series and told from the viewpoints of Emmeline, Dumaine, and their rambling but wise navigator, Hans. Through a diverse cast, it explores themes of learned distrust, fear of the unknown, and the battle against the evil inside us all, in a way similar to a Studio Ghibli film. Cover by ecclesia-

A brutal war. A girl raised as a proud soldier, all too willing to fight and die for her country. A man whose life has been shattered, remade into one of fear and rage and hate. A boy who is caught in the web of politics, who experiences horrible things not meant for anyone, much less a child as young as he. This is a tale of two countries at war, and the lives of the people who reside there. This is a tale of the consequences of hatred and love, of treachery and loyalty, and of evil and good. --------------------------- The story and its characters are my creation; any similarity to other works or to current events is not intended.

***First place winner for Paranormal category in the Tick Tock awards.*** Changed by an alchemist in the 1800s, Johem Hawke is now immortal. If he had not been in a blind rage at the time of his transformation, this may be a good thing. Unfortunately, the crystal placed within his chest cavity, not only gave him the ability to read a person's consciousness, have excessive speed, strength, and advanced intelligence, but also froze him in his current state of hatred. Johem loses his ability to feel. Changing his name to Draven Hawke, the statesman continues to hunt down men, like the ones who took his wife, for the next 200 years. Draven's only solace is to wipe out what he perceives as evil. Autumn is a kind woman who has a troubling life. Living on the streets leaves her open to many forms of trouble. When she sees Draven killing a man, who was trying to harm her, she cannot find any fear of him within her; only awe. Determined to know the man who saved her, Autumn follows and confronts him. When these two lives come together, Draven begins to remember some of the qualities that made him human. Still unable to feel emotion; he has an inexplicable need to try. Something about Autumn grips the crystal pulsing within him, her virtue reminding him that there is good in the world. Behind his confusion, he holds desire, and it is that desire that can destroy them both.

『 You should have deleted this game while you could. 』 There is an order to everything in the world-- that is the phrase that embodies my 'rare job' in this mobile game. But every fun game has a hidden route, a hidden adventure that is only unlocked when you reach the end of it. This game's hidden adventure takes place in real life, and it involves us slowing losing our minds, eventually killing each other until only one of us is left.
