Who Killed Clive Peterson? Bass guitarist Paul Kingston is happy to take a last-minute job playing with Milwaukee’s greatest jazz band.

Can he find and stop the killer before more lives are lost, including his own?

Armed with his father's knife, a riddling notebook, and a bracelet with a green stone, Astreya sails south with an adventurous fisherman, hoping that in the world beyond, he can find his father and discover the mystery of his enigmatic gifts. They voyage to a village where all the inhabitants have met a grisly end, and fearing this may be the work of the legendary sailors cursed to sail forever, they dare the open ocean. The journey is dangerous, and Astreya must navigate through betrayal and an escape from slavery before he finds companions he can learn to trust: Gar, an itinerant painter, and his assistant, Lindey, who can take care of herself with the occasional shrewd blow from her quarterstaff. Astreya is just imagining a new destiny with Lindey when an unknown man from the past alters the course of his life, forcing Astreya out to the sea again. Praise for Astreya, The Voyage South “Hamilton has an intuitive grasp of story... Astreya is a work of great power, insight, and ferocious imagination... I recommend it unreservedly.” -- Spider Robinson, Nebula and Three-time Hugo Award Winner, Recipient of the Heinlein Lifetime Achievement Award "...a trilogy that will fascinate all those who have the sea in their blood and yearn for those days of sail. This is a sailor's yarn brilliantly told... I could not put this book down." -- Commander David Newing, LVO, Royal Navy retired.

A podcast for paranormal enthusiasts interested in mysteries,paranormal phenomena and social issues

A horror fiction podcast designed to provoke creeping dread, unease, and fear. Ghastly Tales episodes range from original pieces of fiction by Scottish writer Michael Whitehouse, to classic stories from Lovecraft, Poe, M. R. James, and many others. These tales span and push the limits of horror as a genre, covering weird fiction, cosmic horror, ghost stories, and many other dark corners of storytelling. Unlike most fiction podcasts, Ghastly Tales creates experimental formats, always aimed at keeping our listeners on their toes with their spines pleasingly tingling. You'll never know quite what to expect, other than having a chill run through your bones and a need to glance nervously over your shoulder to make certain that nothing is there. Come, stay a while... Stay forever...
