THE GREATEST ROCK 'N' ROLL SWINDLE!
It's 1977, and crime on the once-swinging streets of London is as soft and flabby as an overfed corgi. Nearly a decade has gone by since the brothers Kray were locked away, and it's high time for the torch to be passed-preferably straight through a bank window. Luckily, a new generation of snot-nosed Robin Hoods filled with attitude, alcohol and anarchy are ready to burst onto the scene. Now, as Great Britain prepares to celebrate its glorious monarch's Silver Jubilee, a rising gangland queen and her punk-rock robbers are about to pull off the heist of the century-and breaking into Buckingham Palace is only the start!

The power stops at the county line, but inside the afflicted area, something ancient and malevolent stirs as new monsters arise.

A dry county in rural Kentucky, however, isn't an easy place to make a living. To provide for his loved ones, he's fallen back on an old family tradition: moonshine.
Breaking the local liquor laws isn't what's keeping Iris awake at night, though. Something very bad happened in Iraq-something that not even the strongest white lightning can erase from his memory.
As soldiers, Iris and his squad sowed the wind. Now, the whirlwind has come for them-and, as always, the innocent and guilty alike will suffer in the reaping.

The Oscar-winning screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave returns for an all-new chapter in his alternate history of The American Way!
In 1962 Jason Fisher was given astonishing powers by the United States government - powers he used to defend the nation as the New American. He and his teammates in the Civil Defense Corps were real-life superheroes.
Except that it was all a fraud. A conspiracy. And now, 10 years after the CDC was torn apart by racism, infighting and murder, the Corps' surviving members find themselves pulled in very different directions. Missy Devereaux - a.k.a. Ole Miss - is transitioning from the First Lady of Mississippi into a candidate for governor and defender of a vanishing and hateful way of life. Amber Eaton - formerly known as Amber Waves - has become a domestic terrorist, using her powers to infiltrate and destroy the country's centers of power.
Somewhere in the middle stands Jason Fisher, who has remained a crime-fighter even as evidence mounts that he is accomplishing nothing besides propping up a system that's rigged against him as a black man in America.
In a nation being torn apart, what does it mean to fight for the American way?

But when the spotlight-shunning, straitlaced tracer known as Tab finds herself in an ultra-violent race for her greatest prize yet, she's forced to work with her greatest enemy, the only person capable of IDing him: her own elderly, overbearing and hypercritical mother, who was once the most fabulous and celebrated bounty hunter of them all.

ISN'T IT BYRONIC?
He lived fast, died young, and left a good-looking (if a bit bloody) corpse - not to mention an incredible wealth of poetry and an immortal reputation for romance. He was the 6th Baron Byron of Rochdale, better known as Lord Byron - the original bad boy of British literature.
She is a 24-year-old computer genius with a serious fixation on old authors - Lord Byron in particular. Her name is Alexia Ryan, and her singular upbringing has molded her into the perfect coder to bring the struggling New Romancer dating site into the big leagues. But like a modern-day Prometheus, Lexy's revolutionary software is built with stolen parts - and bringing it to life will have some very unintended consequences.
To wit: a reanimated Lord Byron, suave and randy as ever, walking the streets of Silicon Valley some 200 years after his celebrated death. Will Lexy find a new love for the ages with this preternatural poet? Or will the forces she has unwittingly unleashed consign them both to the ash-heap of history?

Welcome to scenic Santa Carla, California. Great beaches. Colorful characters. Killer nightlife. And, of course, all the damn vampires.
The Emerson brothers (Sam and Michael) and the Frog brothers (Edgar and Alan) learned that last part the hard way - these underage slayers took on the vampire master Max and his pack of punked-out minions, and drove a stake right through their plans to suck Santa Carla dry. After scraping the undead goo off their shoes, they figured everything was back to normal.
But now there are new vamps in town.
A coven of female undead called the Blood Belles has moved in, and they've targeted Sam, Michael, the Frog Brothers, and every other vampire hunter in Santa Carla for bloody vengeance.
