The Bear - Caleb Watchman steps out of a building and into another time, 1918 at Fort Devens, Massachusetts, where he rides in a model T, samples absinthe, observes people under siege from influenza and gains dangerous knowledge about the future. He returns home to impart one thing: There is always a bear.

Curse of the Alastor - Angelo Merona is tired of waiting for Marti Zaroni to realize she loves him. Marti, devoted to science, is infuriated by the manly Angelo. Trouble is, a demon has plagued their families for centuries and while Angelo need not worry because of his rare green eyes, everyone else is fair game, including rich Uncle Zito, his ward Goran and the brave boy Lee who helps Marti escape cruel abductors.

The Crypt Thieves - Part time bouncer and grad student Park Massey is hired by club owner Silvano Blackman to guard the crypt of a dead relative. Park is betrayed by his sister Mina who blows it up and steals only part of what's in the coffin. She doesn't know about the other thing in the crypt, a dangerous piece of paper from WWII that every warring nation on the planet would kill for to have in their possession.

Darker Matters - Two grieving cousins discover much they did not know about their lost loved one and his role in keeping their town free of the horror that descends upon his death. Bad things, terrible things occur with escalating intensity and once Griffin and Flynn Littleton acknowledge their part they find themselves learning lessons only dreamed of in nightmares. With the help of a physicist and her reporter son they struggle to undo the damage done by the evil unleashed under their roof and in the history of their cursed Colorado home.

The Field, the Bones, the Pendant - After a chance breakdown on the road a decades old murder is uncovered, hidden, then revealed all over again by a working man with a chip on his shoulder and a wealthy landowner who drank too much wine at the spa that day and really doesn't want to ruin her nails.
