indulge your pretentious side and appreciate the book "the ninth gate" was based on. Even brings Dumas back a bit as a author.

Story
Working at a dead-end retail job in the middle of nowhere can be hard. The long hours. The helpless customers. The enormous eldritch horror living deep below the building. As the only full-time employee at the 24 hour gas station at the edge of town, Jack has pretty much seen it all. But when he decides to start an online journal documenting the bizarre day-to-day occurrences, he unwittingly attracts the attention of much more than just a few conspiracy theorists.

Story
The Unfolded World is a bitter and unfriendly place for Daniel Carter and Emily Lovecraft. In this world the Cold War never happened because the Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1941. In this world the Nazi Großdeutschland is the premier superpower and is not merely tolerated but indulged because, in this world, the Holocaust happened behind the ruins of the Iron Curtain and consumed only Bolsheviks, Communists, and others the West was glad to see gone. In this world there are monsters, and not all of them are human.

I'm very particular about my reading. this series might be a bit niche for most. But lots of fun. female protagonist like Zoe Kravitz. Just so happens to be my magic number.

If you have a live for history and social issues mixed with H.P Lovecraft this is well recommended. unusually well developed characters for speculative fiction. it's been a long time since encountering truly decent and good characters in a bad world.

Story
There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Fun romp through the super hero alternative universe. Plenty of saterical hijinks. Characters are funny, sexy, and endearing. possibly not for the comic book purist but made me smile.

Story
My name is Marten Mann. I work for the devil, or the prince of lies, as you people are so fond of calling him. Yes. You read that last line correctly. I am employed by the powers of evil as acquisitor ad infinitum. I did not seek out this job: I was chosen for the position. To put it in simpler terms, I am a broker of sorts - you know, the guy who finds out what it is that you want the most. I make it readily available to you for a price. I think we all know just how costly that one thing that you think you need so much can be.

very good story and so well done. some will have issues with the theology but beyond a superficial understanding one can move thru the story with minimal trouble and you might even like the thought experiment.
