Markosia Spotlight On: Vehi-Kill – Volume One: Traffic Is Murder

Each week we turn the spotlight on one of the many quality books from our extensive back catalogue.

This week it’s the turn of Vehi-Kill – Volume One: Traffic Is Murder.

Once a month – for one hour only – in one random town, every vehicle comes alive. More than alive – these ‘Hell-cars’ are intent on killing everyone in their paths.

Into this chaos comes a band of escaped convicts and a small group of apparently scientific…priests?

Are the killer cars a sign of the end-times – a message from hell? Or is the whole event a technological fake orchestrated by a shadowy conspiracy?

Or is the truth even crazier?

Join our group of scientists, criminals and head-cases as they attempt to survive the carnage and work out what the hell is going on (or if hell is actually going on!).

Shadow’s Daughter Book 2 – OUT NOW!

In the pulse-pounding second volume of Shadow’s Daughter, Summer Rain has traded her independence for a badge. Now officially an Agent, Second Class, she’s backed by Blue and Teal, a pair of tech-savvy twins who are the only thing keeping her sane as the city’s shadows deepen.

But the trail to the mysterious Uriel leads to a nightmare: Telos, a withered, half-machine “inkmancer” with a terrifying revelation. Uriel isn’t just a rogue mancer; he is a pure-blooded entity of light from another realm.

As a rogue hellion assassin closes in and the ghosts of a drug-fueled past return to haunt her, Summer corners her prey at the decaying Greymaul Manor. There, the truth comes out. Summer isn’t just a shadowmancer—she is a primal specimen of the Demon Moon, carrying a volatile power that could level the city. To survive Uriel’s blinding etheric light, Summer must embrace the monster within.

Markosia Spotlight On: Urban Legends

Each week we turn the spotlight on one of the many quality books from our extensive back catalogue.

This week it’s the turn of Urban Legends.

We have always enjoyed being scared.  Tall tales of horror that pass down through the ages.  We take comfort in the knowledge they are only stories.  Except the urban legend has a history.

No one knows where they come from or why they persist.  Maybe it’s because they are true? 13 Urban Legends old & new will be told in “Urban Legends”.  They’re only stories…aren’t they?

Treading Down The Garden Path – OUT NOW!

Z is tired.

He is supposed to be just another faceless office worker who moved to the big city, a place that feels slightly off, but pays the bills. Then a voice finds him in his dreams. A god, imprisoned somewhere beneath reality, whispering a promise:

“Free me, and I’ll give you what you truly desire.”

Z tries to ignore it. Until a concert splits open into something impossible.

Reality tears. People vanish. And Z survives an encounter he should not have.

Thrown into a hidden game already in motion, he discovers other players have been chosen, and they are not all on the same side.
A mysterious woman named Yvy seems to know more than she lets on. A bass player from a local band begins taking an unsettling interest in him. Strange hands offer guidance. And something ancient watches from behind the cracks of the world, as if the city itself were a board game.

Z never wanted to matter.

Now he is staring into a mystery that should have stayed buried.
