Voodoo Arizona Immortal Gunslinger

Death is the one thing Voodoo Arizona can never have. For 150 years, Arizona has wandered the frontier, cursed with immortality by an ancient ritual that bound him to the spirits of the Loa. Outlaws fear him, legends surround him — but behind the gunfighter's infamous reputation lies a man crushed by a lifetime of grief, condemned to watch everyone he loves die. When his beloved wife passes, Arizona loses his last reason to endure eternity. But despair is cut short when a mysterious voodoo priestess, Mambo Mae, begs him to rescue her kidnapped son. The child possesses terrifying supernatural powers that, in the wrong hands, could alter the fate of the world. Hunted by bounty hunters, zealots and a shadowy figure known as The Corsican, Arizona must cross a brutal frontier where spirits walk beside gunslingers. As secrets emerge and the truth behind his curse unravels, he must decide whether immortality is a punishment — or the very reason he was chosen. Some curses refuse to be broken. Some legends refuse to die.

The Tallow Witch

Alice Devine fled Great Tallow fifteen years ago, convinced she'd never return. But after discovering her husband's betrayal destroys the life she'd built in Los Angeles, she has nowhere else to go. Home should be a place to heal. Instead, it feels like a place that has been waiting for her. The village hasn't changed. The pond still lies black beneath the willows. The church bell still tolls through the mist. And the old story everyone dismisses as folklore still lingers in whispered conversations. They say a woman was drowned there nearly two hundred years ago. They say she died cursing every faithless heart. Now Alice finds herself surrounded by secrets. Marriages built on lies. Lovers hiding in plain sight. People looking over their shoulders, convinced they're being watched. And with every broken promise, something ancient beneath the water seems to stir. Some curses never die. They simply wait for someone to come home.
