This audiobook examines some of the ways in which, beginning very early in their interactions with European-Americans, the Cherokee began to adopt white culture and make it their own.

Little is known about the ancient city of Troy, site of the infamous but largely unhistorical Trojan War. Much attention has been focused to finding out about the city-state itself.

The son of Juan Hernan Valdez de Araya and a Caribbean slave, Eduardo, learn that freedom always comes with a price, and that price must be paid by those most deprived of it, the most desirous to have it. Some will sacrifice their all for the sweet embrace of it and for that of those dear to them. Only those that have known true deprivation can appreciate its loving reward of ever-stripped-away choice.

After centuries of waiting, the ancient goddess Lamashtu has been reborn. But this isn't exactly what Temperance wants to be for her sweet 16. Now, she will unite the werewolf and vampire races that made her what she is, or they will all die in her wake, torn limb from limb and head from neck. All will know that she can rule the earth. But how many will bow to her?

Why not get two tales of pure terror for the low price of only one? If you are not frightened by the body-snatching of husband and wife by the long-forgotten spirits of the wife's great-great-grandfather and his "beloved" and their plan to wreak havoc and carnage upon mankind, surely, your mind will be twisted and left in shattered awe at the forlorn story of a woman driven mad by her own nightmare and its abrupt thrust into reality, tearing away everything that might have left her whole...or you.

What would you do if your great-great-grandfather wanted your body...so that he could make his beloved live again? Everyone thinks that Julia has gone insane, "just like her father". Unable to convince anyone, she takes matters into her own hands to stop the evil plans of the revenants haunting and taking over her life, before they can resurrect their spirits into bodies and wreak havoc on the world.

This work contains the same stories as Don't Go to Sleep: Tales to Keep You Up, but with four more stories of absolute horror. Don't go to sleep. These 12 tales of terror will surely haunt your dreams. No one awakens from their dark embrace. If your nightmares are not filled with a child murderer and a reanimated, murderous corpse, you will never find rest from the deadly secrets of the past, dismemberment, cannibalism, life after death, body-snatching spirits, or being buried alive. Sleep, if you dare. Run, if you can. You will never be safe again.

Two soldiers wander through a mist, into enemy hands, soon after, taken to an abandoned cabin, to be tortured for information about the whereabouts of a Union gold payroll shipment. The Confederate deserters seem to forget their history with the place and discover that old crimes live on with those that no longer do. The dead sometimes ache for revenge, and might just tear a man into shredded meat or worse.

Why not get two delightfully-frightening horror stories for the price of one? When Marion cut open the tree, all he found of his best friend was a finger, never again, in more than 70 years, any trace of him. Now, that finger is all that he can give to the only other person to ever search for Nunzio Calabrisi.

Imagine what lies beyond this world, where we might all find ourselves when we die. The veil between this world and the next is thin, but the path that leads from it to final rest is too appealing for most to continue than retrace and come back. Sometimes, only love can bring someone back from that place, can make them want more than what the path beyond the veil offers. One little girl must make that choice, must decide which life is worth living more than the other.

Don't go to sleep. These tales will surely haunt your dreams. No one awakens from their dark embrace. If your nightmares are not filled with a child murderer and a reanimated, murderous corpse, you will never find rest from the deadly secrets of the past, dismemberment, or being buried alive. Sleep if you dare. Run if you can. You will never be safe again.

Sometimes, an anniversary means something. Sometimes, it's part of a deal that the dead make to come back.

Targar Negary entombs his only surviving child in a sarcophagus, possibly, thinking her to be a victim of the Black Plague that is sweeping Europe. Poor Talis must endure agonizing and seemingly endless hours of torture within her tomb, wondering who emplaced her there and why, if it was her father, seeking some sort of punishment. With Talis' air running out, she does not believe that she can survive this entombment and find out the reason for it.

Nunzio Calabrisi is investigating the disappearance of his great-uncle 71 years later. He goes to the one man who was with his uncle when he went missing, while they were on leave during World War II. All that the man can give him is a ring and the skeletal remains of the finger that the ring was on at the time. Nothing makes any sense, and no concrete evidence seems possible to be found. The town where it all occurred seems to be one shrouded in great mystery and intrigue.

The Sins of the Past: Kevin Kendrick must come to terms with his grandfather not being who he's always been thought to be and that he killed Kevin's real grandfather decades ago. As times wears on, Kevin feels his mind slipping away, with each tick of the clock stealing something from him. Can he learn to forgive and put everything in the past, where it's always been, or can he, a mild-mannered man, bring justice full circle?

Beginning around World War I, due to so many problems at home and so much seeming to be offered in the North, scores of African-Americans left the South and headed to the big cities across the Mason-Dixon, among them, Chicago.
