Being a nobody isn't Duncan Alexander's life goal, but it's worked for him. He has a nondescript job, a few good friends, and overall he's content. That's until one fateful trip to San Jose, California, where he is "Called" to meet the mysterious Juliet de Exter. Juliet is a beautiful, wealthy, powerful Immortal who is undertaking The Calling--a search for a human to join her world of Immortals. Inexplicably, Duncan's calling is more dangerous than any of the Immortals, even Juliet, ever thought it would be. There is more to this nobody, this only child of long-deceased parents, than anyone thought. When Duncan experiences uncontrollable dreams of people he doesn't know and places he hasn't been, Juliet and the other Immortals worry. Soon, his visions point to a coven of long-dead witches. The dreams also lead Duncan to his one true love. How will Duncan navigate a forbidden romance with an outcast Immortal? How will he and the others keep the balance between the Light and Dark, survive vicious attacks, and keep the humans from learning who they truly are? More importantly, who is this implacable foe Duncan keeps seeing in his dreams?

Curl up with your favorite warm beverage this fall and leave a light on. It's time for Horror Show 2021. The Bay Area Queer Writers Association is proud to present this inaugural collection of spooky tales featuring authors Wayne Goodman, M.D. Neu, Richard May, Liz Faraim, and R.L. Merrill. Sometimes writing about the things that frighten us helps us cope with real-life terror, and these stories are all a product of a scary time. **All proceeds from this limited-time anthology will be donated to the Billy DeFrank Center in San Jose, California. The Bay Area Queer Writers Association is a group of local writers who support and encourage each other. The goal of the group is to create a strong visible writing community here in the Bay Area. They are based in Silicon Valley, but they have members from all over the Bay Area. This group is open to anyone who loves to read and wants to help support area authors. You don't have to live in the Bay Area to be a member, you just have to love Queer books and enjoy reading. Please visit https: //baqwawriters.wixsite.com/books for more information.
