Only The Stains Remain is the haunting story of Jude and Kyle, two brothers whose lives are destroyed when, following the death of their mother, their three abusive uncles Dwight, Lucius, and Lenny move in to the family home. But whilst Jude suffers to a degree, Kyle is the one who takes the brunt of their attention, submitting himself to preserve his younger brother's innocence. As a grown man, Jude's mind turns to vengeance for what they have endured. He has waited a long time, but now he is strong enough, and cold-hearted enough, to do the deed. Enacting one harrowing revenge after another, Jude's dark quest to punish the wrongs of the past will show that after all is said and done, only the stains of the past will remain.

Only The Stains Remain

Henry was burying his daughter: again, but the thing is...she just won't stay buried. Elsie, Henry's daughter was fourteen when she went missing and he's been burying pieces of her ever since, on the anniversary of her 'death day.' Each totem Henry places in the ground are memories of his daughter's life he's desperate to forget, attempting to do all he can to rid himself of his mistakes and his part in her disappearance and more than likely death. All is not lost though when a stranger appears at Henry's grief counseling group with a dark and disturbing proposition for him. "Have you ever tried to make contact your daughter, to see if she's passed?" What follows is a tale of deception and possession like no other. From the Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of 'Tome' and 'The Devil's Pocketbook' comes a new terrifying nightmare about the dangers and pitfalls of not seeing your child for the person they were born to be before it's too late and how grief can climb inside us and make our heart its home.

Lost Voices is a horror collection of tales left by the wayside: stories recorded on abandoned VHS tapes, horrors found in lifeless towns, voices silenced by the encroaching darkness. Born from a conversation about screwed up stories that?d been rejected from various anthologies, magazines, and callouts for being too weird, freaky, and dark, Lost Voices dredges these lost tales from a past better forgotten. Featuring twelve dark tales by Joseph Sale, Emily Harrison, Christa Wojciechowski and Ross Jeffery, Lost Voices promises to push the boundaries of what horror can be and do. Foreword by Steve Stred.

Lost Voices

Juniper is the first book in Ross Jeffery's proposed trilogy: a post-apocalyptic horror about an insane American town seemingly at the edge of reality. As Juniper suffers from scorching drought and medieval famine, the townsfolk are forced to rely on the ?new cattle? for food: monstrous interbred cats kept by the oppressed Janet Lehey. But there's a problem: Janet's prized ginger tom, Bucky, has gone missing, flown the coop. As Janet and her deranged ex-con husband Klein intensify their search for the hulking mongrel, Betty Davis, an old woman clinging to survival on the outskirts of Juniper, discovers something large and ginger and lying half-dead by the side of the road. She decides to take it home?

Software effort estimation is one of the oldest and most important problems in software project management, and thus today there are a large number of models, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses in general, and even more importantly, in relation to the environment and context in which it is to be applied. Trendowicz and Jeffery present a comprehensive look at the principles of software effort estimation and support software practitioners in systematically selecting and applying the most suitable effort estimation approach. Their book not only presents what approach to take and how to apply and improve it, but also explains why certain approaches should be used in specific project situations. Moreover, it explains popular estimation methods, summarizes estimation best-practices, and provides guidelines for continuously improving estimation capability. Additionally, the book offers invaluable insights into project management in general, discussing issues including project trade-offs, risk assessment, and organizational learning. Overall, the authors deliver an essential reference work for software practitioners responsible for software effort estimation and planning in their daily work and who want to improve their estimation skills. At the same time, for lecturers and students the book can serve as the basis of a course in software processes, software estimation, or project management.
