The Ugly Birds: Only one thing could save Carmin Darabon's comics magazine from going under: publishing the next chapter of the hit series "The Otherworlders." But what dark secret drives its creator --Carmine's ex-finance' -- to refuse to deliver it?

The Hidden Room: At the height of the Cold War, Doctor Calvin Lenox is a member of the Nuclear Emergency Search Team. With his life spiraling into despair, he confronts the mystery of a runaway Soviet defector and the death of three men, only to find himself at the mercy of...the Faceless God.
