The new Weird Tales collection by author Lyn Murray (the best of Lyn Murray) capsulized in this 500 page compilation that is filled with eerie short stories that are based on real events (available now on Amazon.com) is a tribute to the original magazine first published in 1923 – and to all of the literary greats like Ray Bradbury, H. P. Lovecraft and Isaac Asimov, whose contributions made the magazine a huge success – and all of them a household name.In keeping with the original magazine’s creepy agenda – Lyn Murray’s nomadic mind takes readers on a wild ride into the paranormal world of supernatural beings called BEKs (Black Eyed Kids) who want in and take your soul when they gain access, strange cemeteries with clandestine itineraries, Bigfoot UFOs, ghostly apparitions on a mission, real Werewolves, the most haunted objects in the world, a streetlight for the dead, night shadows with eyes only for you, nightmares that refuse to leave at dawn, and forbidden places that innocently draw you in then refuse to let you leave. In a world with so many unexplained phenomena – Lyn Murray’s Weird Tales carries on a chilly tradition of cold drafts, goosebumps – and things that go bump in the night that will have you looking under your bed and burning closet lights all night – forever!Weird Tales by Lyn Murray is no respecter of persons – scaring young and old alike, with fast paced, fact-based stories you can’t put down. As one fan so aptly noted: “Murray has a fine hand with complicated and disturbing paranormal content, and this collection is unsettling and chilling! The hair on the nape of my neck is suitably raised, and Murray is to blame because she is such a skillful writer, bringing the worst imaginings to life with her perfect prose and clever way of pacing with both urgency and elaborate detail, everything from first-hand stories to case studies and research. She's really in command with these tales, like a reporter from the dark side of the paranormal mind.” Alex Prosper.A different kind of writer, Lyn Murray is a Documentarian Storyteller whose writing style puts you at ease – like enjoying coffee and conversation with an old friend, all the while looking over your shoulder for fear someone (some thing) is creeping up behind you – because somewhere in the back of your mind you know that this is more than just fiction – it’s REAL!

Morlen has never flown atop a great eagle. He's spent his whole life in the shadows. But now, he's about to embark on a thrilling adventure that leads him to the skies. In a land of eagle-riding knights, bloodthirsty beasts, and a ruthless tyrant, young Morlen retreats from thousands of snapping jaws with the stolen Goldshard in his grasp. Its power to bestow strength and invincibility is just a panicked whisper away, and he feels he'd be naked without it while he fights the sinister forces that follow him at every turn. A Facet for the Gem is a coming of age fantasy that brings Morlen from distant kingdoms to sprawling aerial battles, into the fiery breath of a stony dragon and side-by-side with a lady knight who is the last person to need rescuing. Fly with him as his epic adventures culminate in a final showdown against swords, fangs, and greatest of all: his own fear. Audiobook now available, narrated by Voice Arts Awards nominee James Foster, from award-winning Podium Publishing (Dawn of Wonder, King's Dark Tidings, and The Martian)

FYI . . . "When You Buy the Paperback Version -You Get the Kindle FREE"* * * Lyn is a different kind of author: she is an Anthological Documentarian Storyteller (check out her Bio on Amazon.com) which means she mixes fact with fiction, stories with historical documentation, to give you a thrilling read you won't soon forget - because you know in the back of your mind that this is more than just fiction. It's REAL!***First about the book - then some great reviews follow:One Dark Halloween Night (a book filled with more than just Halloween stories) first aired as an "audio book" before a live audience, and remains one of our best loved spooky shows - EVER!The Show Host's introduction follows: (don't miss it!):Before we begin, a bit of information you may find interesting, that is the basis for this story: while the story you are about to read is fiction, it is based upon actual, mysterious and unexplained sightings of something very strange in our Texas skies - that for lack of a better word, we'll call birds. Some people think they are throwbacks from the Cretaceous Period and are related to ancient Pterodactyls; while others believe they are the Thunderbird's of Native American Indian lore - which are often carved in their Totem Polls, and depicted in their Native American dances.The truth is - no one knows what they are. But (for one Texas farmer and his cow) there is little doubt of their existence. Lends new meaning to the term - When Cows Fly. Or, is that Pigs? Can never remember. Oh, well - I know I'm keeping one eye on the sky - how about you?! * * * This book is a compilation of short stories (original and classic) with the title story – One Dark Halloween Night - leading the way, and setting the stage, for some of the best ‘Spooky Literature’ ever committed to paper – keeping alive Lyn’s love of Classic Literature, which she brings to you just as it was written (except for occasional lite editing where needed). When you’ve finished reading, Lyn even feeds you – by including some of her favorite ghoulish recipes, picked especially for the trick-or-treat season . . . all year long!And if you’re not careful – you just might learn something you didn’t know . . . Lyn is known to hide little bits of wisdom between the pages. * * * Great REVIEWS:"After reading this book, I checked out YouTube and found that there have been sightings all over the world. Texas and Mexico are particular hotspots, but these things have showed up all over. Makes me wonder if that one reviewer might be right, and they show up over leylines? Maybe leylines are interdimesional doorway? Might be worth checking out. Loved the book!" Carter P., IN"What's going on in Texas? Makes me want to make the trip to find out. Like The Tuck (another true story by Lyn Murray) One Dark Halloween Night makes me wonder what the heck is going on in Texas?! Leylines, possibly interdimensional beings slipping through time? Holy Cow! Great read! Really enjoyed it" B. Maxwell, MD "Just to clear things up, the title story takes place on Hallowen, but this is not just a Halloween story; and it's not just one story, it's several, backed up with sightings by people who were there. One of them was a former president of the U.S.. Something ancient and dangerous is in our skies, and it's snatching people (and animals) right out of thin air! But don't get me wrong, this is a Great Halloween Story too! Loved it! I want the paperback." Jillian W., K.S.* * *You won't find witches or warlocks, vampires or werewolves, or magic in this creepy short story - just good old-fashioned scary fun! So come on in, prop up your feet, pop some popcorn, and prepare to be entertained.Enjoy!
