SAM AND HEL ARE BACK! I can finally share that we have acquired the sequel to STRANGE BEASTS!!!

Introducing, the next volume in the Harker & Moriarty Series …

WAYWARD SOULS by Susan J. Morris (March 2026)

Six days before Samhain—the night when the veil between worlds is thinnest—Samantha Harker, daughter of Dracula’s killer, and Dr. Helena Moriarty, daughter of the famed criminal mastermind, are thrown into their next case: the mysterious disappearance of two Society field agents in Ireland. Only this time, the Royal Society is sending Jakob Van Helsing to keep an eye on them.

Their investigation takes them from the crumbling ruins of Ireland’s untamed wilds to the occult societies of the rich and powerful. The connection between the Sam and Hel is electric, but as they fall deeper into each other’s orbit, their secrets only multiply. For Hel, it’s the past sins she committed when she was her father's pawn. For Sam, it’s a plague of death omens, mysterious black feathers, and a siren song no one else can hear. And then, a chilling revelation that is poised to shatter everything: The agents who disappeared were each haunted by a ghost. And so, it seems, is Sam.

For all our readers and Bindery members who loved STRANGE BEASTS and begged for more: thank you! We simply wouldn’t be here without your passion and support. Let this be a testament to the power of community! 💥💥💥

Until then … beware!
