NOTHING TOO DANGEROUS, Christopher Ruz's collection of paranormal, horror and weird fiction, is a journey through dark corridors and darker hearts. Five stories, ranging from a claustrophobic apocalypse to a Lovecraftian jaunt through a girl's high-school, push the boundaries of literary horror and urban fantasy.

In AN UNKNOWN HUNGER, Officer Packer has a body lying on the street with no clear signs of death and no leads. Meanwhile, Con Stannis has woken up with another man's memories bubbling inside his head. Now the police are knocking on his door...

In NEVER OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW, the Fatespeaker arrives at St Werstan's School for Gifted Young Ladies to tell the girls what awaits them in life and death. But there are some questions better left unasked, and some fates better left unspoken...

In WHISPERS, one young man has stumbled onto a terrible truth. This world is changing, little by little, every time you turn your back. Your house isn't your house any more. These walls don't love you. And your wife is certainly not the woman you fell asleep next to last night... Is there any way out of this madness?

In OCCUPIED, young John finds a message tucked behind a public toilet. Little does he know that by answering the message, he summons Charlie, a ragged man who's been trapped in an inexplicable labyrinth of lavatories for decades upon decades. Can these two unlikely friends solve the mystery of the toilet maze, or is Charlie doomed to wander from bathroom to bathroom for the rest of his days?

And in BLACK RAIN, a young couple watch from inside their apartment as a storm rolls in - a storm so thick that it seems to swallow the world outside. Now there's no mobile signal, no power and no lights outside. The taps are running black and the rain keeps drumming...

Christopher Ruz's works, such as his ongoing horror serial RUST, are available through the Kindle, iBooks, Nook and Kobo stores.

As you begin to read this, you start to remember. That fateful day, you may have been eating dinner, on your phone, coming home from work or school, or watching TV, when the Emergency Broadcast System emerged on every media outlet available. "THIS IS NOT A TEST," the screen read. "Lock every entrance, gather necessities, DO NOT go outside, and remain calm. Further instructions will soon follow." Zombies are a fickle creature; they're always changing. These zombies... They're unlike anything you've ever seen. The reality of having seen something that gruesome makes your heart race again. You remember the way they looked at first and having to study them to keep your spot at the top of the chain. You look around. You've established yourself again, reading a book you found to kill some time. Making the zombie apocalypse, simply something that you've experienced, among many other things. Now, let's get to that book! October 30, 2015, 7:58 p.m. That's when it all began for everyone, the awful sounds of the emergency alarms filling the air with panic. No one had a certain plan, just hopes for the best and quick wits. Robert Duncan was on a farm where he worked, fixing machines. His regular life would instantly change, and the world would flip on itself. The things he would do, the people he would meet, and the items he would obtain were not in his imagination. This is his story, just as you would have one, and what became of him...

《 Highest Ranking: #5 in Vampire 》 "Is that Marcus? Marcus as in, from our High School Marcus!" Casey squeaked. I spun around, not quite believing her, but there he was. He strode through the school like he owned it and my god, he could've. He'd changed over the four years he'd been gone. It was like god himself had carved him from a statue. His cheekbones could cut a finger and a jaw that could slice a hand. He was taller, more muscular. He looked nothing like the boy that went away. He wore a blacket jacket and ripped jeans, his grey eyes studied the school as every female studied him. Suddenly, they slipped past every other person's eyes and landed on mine. No surprise etched his face, it was like he didn't recognise me. Until I saw the corner of his mouth lift up. ~~ Best friends, Diana and Marcus planned to do everything together. They would go to college and live in the same dorm room, they would always be best friends. But, Marcus went away. Without expecting him to return, Diana uses her heartbreak to change her life. She becomes popular in college.. Then one day, he shows up. But he's changed, he's darker, more silent and definitely a lot more hotter. He'd grown taller, his face sharper and he drew eyes from every woman on campus, even the guys. He spoke to no one and didn't even acknowledge her until she spoke to him. But something was very off. Very off, indeed. Cover Design: @newsies- Copyright @tavanalee No Rights Reserved 2018

Book 5.5! 19-year old Winter is on the hunt for vampires. Not any vampires, just one group in particular. After growing up in a family of vampire hunters and losing all contact with them, Winter makes it her life goal to track down every single vampire there the night her family home burned to the ground six years ago. With no family left, and nowhere to go, Winter searches for answers and revenge all in one. Her search sometimes leads to making vampire friends, and other times leads to eradicating an entire clan. Her one purpose is to find those responsible, get answers on her missing family's status- dead or simply missing- and kill any involved in her whole world burning falling apart. Thaddeus is one of the oldest vampires in the world, set on a mission to take over and replace The Elders, the supernatural government that has grossly overstepped their boundaries and operated on unethical means to maintain their power while losing sight of caring for their people. It isn't his first attempt at overthrowing the powerful force, but as his list of allies grow, so does his list of complications. Between maintaining relationships with his new allies, protecting the key pieces in his plan, and trying to coax a long lost supernatural out of hiding, he has no time for anything else. Especially not the vampire-hunting human his brother associates with. Winter and Thaddeus find their paths crossing more than either of them like. They butt heads, threaten and attempt to kill each other, and find through all their conflict that there is something underneath. An unwanted camaraderie, an unfortunate mutual understanding of the others motivations, and most inconveniently, a draw to each other that takes time away from their firm ambitions. On the matter of the greater good or love, both have to choose which means more to them.
