Werewolves, witches and vampires inhabit these scary stories and frightening folk tales told by Grammy-nominated storyteller and performer Milbre Burch. Featuring stories from Jane Yolen, Richard Matheson, Joseph Jacobs, Ursula K. LeGuin, and Helen Eustis. Recommended for ages 13+.

After a training accident, Tyler Armstrong is so certain he’ll recover that he requests his emergency contacts not be notified. His SEAL team deploys in a few days anyway, and while his family thinks he’s out of the country, his broken body will have time to mend. After his injuries force him to retire, Tyler must face the truth—his Navy career is over. When Amanda discovers he suffers from PTSD as well as physical limitations from his accident, will she even want him? If she does, how can he ask her to marry a man with such an uncertain future?

Will one woman's deception forever change the course of three lives? Phoebe Garrison will stop at nothing to steer her niece, Amanda Jarvis, away from the newly discovered affections of her childhood friend, Tyler Armstrong. His Navy SEAL career path falls far short of the high-society lifestyle Phoebe envisions for Amanda. When billionaire J.E. Bridwell tries to protect Amanda from her aunt's controlling nature, Phoebe uses his interference to her advantage.

Memories of his abusive father fuel Tyler Armstrong's desire to make the world a safer place, so Tyler will do whatever it takes to become a Navy SEAL. Falling in love with his best friend, Amanda Jarvis, though, wasn't part of his plans.
