Cruel Devices
Renowned horror writer Gavin Curtis is in a rut until he stumbles upon a mysterious typewriter, a forbidden antique that ignites boundless inspiration within him. But everything has its price, and he will soon discover that his talent, charm, wealth, and fame are no match for the ruthless evil that he's unleashed. Pitted against a destructive entity from another realm, he races against time to save himself and those he loves.
From author George Wright Padgett comes an unsettling story where dreams can come true, but so can the nightmares.

Absence of Mind
It’s 2034, and Phoebe Bernhart is a nurse in a neuro ward in Atlanta when her youngest brother becomes one of the first victims of a bizarre epidemic of aggression and paranoia.
When Phoebe suspects a technological cause, her strange, beautiful, antisocial new acquaintance, Mila Bremer, a software engineer, agrees to help.
In the end, Mila may be part of the cure—or she may be the cause. Or maybe she’ll just prove to be indifferent to the fates of thousands of people, including Phoebe's brother.
