Shadow Lab, Volume Two: A Blackstone Publishing Anthology

By Brendan Deneen

Just in time for Halloween 2025, it's Shadow Lab, Volume Two

In Katharyn Blair's "Deadlanders," the realm between life and death is guarded by mercenaries called Deadlanders. When a new recruit realizes that something is trying to break through from "the other side"--and that the threat is connected to her dead sister--she must risk everything to get answers.

In David Moody's "The Uninvited," when a group of high school kids throws a massive party in the penthouse of an unfinished high-rise, they're in for one hell of a night (literally) when one of them smuggles in the soul of a mass murderer--which can jump from person to person.

In Gemma Amor's "The Retreat," a troubled veteran gets an office job and soon catches the eye of the CEO after stopping a gunman in the building. When she's invited to the prestigious company wilderness retreat as a reward, she discovers the company is hiding a deadly and evil secret. Is she next in line for a promotion?

Find these and more horrifying tales in the second Shadow Lab anthology from Blackstone Publishing.
