SILVER NITRATE by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Montserrat has always been overlooked. She’s a talented sound editor, but she’s left out of the boys’ club running the film industry in ’90s Mexico City. And she’s all but invisible to her best friend, Tristán, a charming if faded soap opera star, though she’s been in love with him since childhood.
Then Tristán discovers his new neighbor is the cult horror director Abel Urueta, and the legendary auteur claims he can change their lives—even if his tale of a Nazi occultist imbuing magic into highly volatile silver nitrate stock sounds like sheer fantasy. The magic film was never finished, which is why, Urueta swears, his career vanished overnight. He is cursed.
Now the director wants Montserrat and Tristán to help him shoot the missing scene and lift the curse . . . but Montserrat soon notices a dark presence following her, and Tristán begins seeing the ghost of his ex-girlfriend.
As they work together to unravel the mystery of the film and the obscure occultist who once roamed their city, Montserrat and Tristán may find that sorcerers and magic are not only the stuff of movies.

DEAD RIVER by Brian J. Smith
THE DEAD HAVE RISEN!
Colin McCoy coasts through southeastern Ohio on his pontoon boat named ALICIA to avoid the walking dead. He’s not just looking for a way out of a danger zone but he’s carrying a tremendous weight on his shoulders that he could never shake off. To pay the price for his guilt, he will remain a shadow of his former self.
When he bumps into a teenage girl named Stacey, her little brother Jason and her baby sister Rosie in an abandoned restaurant, they ask him for safe passage out of Ohio and into a safe zone inside the heart of Texas. After he is left stranded, he must lead the stranded kids along with a local cop, a cook and a gangster’s girlfriend across a dead and empty city where the stakes have never been higher.
