Summary
Dream Apeiron is an antique and art restorer who, for those in the know, specializes in cleansing cursed or haunted pieces. For years, he has buried himself in his work, avoiding all human connections outside of his clients and his business partner, Lucienne. That is until he is hired by a man named Roderick Burgess to stay at his abandoned family estate in Sussex and cleanse it of whatever has been killing Burgess men and forcing them to gouge out their own eyes.
Dream isn’t at Fawney Rig long before he begins to suspect the foundation of the manor is resting on an old, dark secret and that finishing the job will not only mean discovering its past, but confronting his own.

Summary
Deep in thought Hob entered his apartment and walked into his living room. Only decades of experience made him realize something was wrong and he snapped back to reality, just as someone came at him from behind. Hob moved out of the way and the person, a man, cursed as he smashed into the coffee table. But it had been too late for him to notice the second man and a strong man wrapped around his chest as a rag was held against his nose and mouth.

Or, Burgess may have found a way to get what he wants.

Summary
Mr. Robert Gadling may be tolerably handsome, of an amiable disposition and in possession of a good fortune (for a tradesman), but is it enough to tempt Morpheus, the 14th Viscount Amaranth? Will the months Mr. Gadling is to spend at the Amaranth country mansion as a result of a wager between the Lord Amaranth and his elder sister allow the unlikely pair to develop a friendship—or, perhaps, even a forbidden attachment?
A series of rousing events involving balls, duels, play readings and meddling suitors lie between the Amaranth household and their return to town come winter—events which may forever change the viscount’s opinion on the merits of life in the country and, more importantly, on the balance between duty and the pursuit of happiness.

It’s been said that a man’s word is as good as his bond. Back in 1789 Hob Gadling gave his word to his strange benefactor to be there, were the Stranger to ever need him. And to that word he’ll hold. Had it been up to him, Dream of the Endless would have never called for help, not from anyone. So perhaps it’s a good thing that it’s not up to him.

Summary
“You know why they called him the Demon King?”
“Is it because -”
“Because he summoned a fucking demon, Hob.” Matthew hisses, arms flailing so the torchlight bounces over the peeling wallpaper. “And you know what that demon did? That demon killed people. A lot of fucking people. Straight-up brained them. Trapped them in an eternal sleep so their souls were forever tied to this place. And now here we are walking around this creepy as shit house with these stupid flashlights like a bunch of god-damn idiots just asking to be next.”
“That happened over a hundred years ago. I think we’re safe.” Hob drawls. “If there were a demon here, we’d probably know by now.”
