About this series
The holidays have been anything but relaxing for Lazarus Kerrigan. Between planning a wedding and selling his house, he's barely had a moment to think about the supernatural.
When strange, Christmas-themed monsters begin attacking him in the open, it's time for the gloves to come off. Mask is making his move. Lazarus and company are determined to take the fight to him.
A battle with Mask means traveling back to the Nightlands, reading from a cursed book, and using a spell that could destroy reality as we know it. To pull it all off, he'll need help from an unlikely source, a detective with questionable origins himself.
One thing's for sure. They're in for anything but a silent night.

- Organ Grind
2
No guts, no glory. Being one of the four horsemen sucks. The hours are long, the pay is crap, and every god or monster you meet wants to kill you. For Lazarus Kerrigan, professional necromancer, even helping the police search for some missing internal organs is a welcome relief. That is, until his ex-girlfriend shows up in the employ of an ancient Egyptian deity, and a faerie queen makes him an offer he can't refuse. When Laz finds himself pulled into a criminal underworld where human souls are traded like currency, things just go from bad to worse. Unfortunately, his soul might just be worth its weight in gold.
- Shallow Grave
3
Dead men tell no tales . . . Unless you're a necromancer. Then they never shut up. Life is finally going right for Lazarus Kerrigan, necromancer and Pale Horseman. Business is booming, and no gods have tried to kill him for a whole month. But the past is catching up to him. There's a serial killer on the loose in New Orleans, one that targets children and leaves behind only bones. When the case develops eerie similarities to his sister's murder, Laz knows the police are in over their heads. They need help, and the dead aren't talking. Well, except for the ghost of a two-hundred-year-old pirate, and Laz doesn't like what he has to say. If he's right, the creature Laz is chasing is a monster way out of his league. If he's not careful, Laz might just end up in Davey Jones's Locker, or worse . . .
- Death Match
5
Gods run when a Horseman goes to war. Since being drafted into a position as the Pale Horseman, Lazarus Kerrigan has killed his fair share of gods and monsters. In New Orleans, a city steeped in voodoo and the supernatural, that's saying something. But when someone else starts killing gods in his city, he takes it personally. His search for the killer leads him to a deadly no holds barred tournament run by the gods themselves. The prize? The right to name the next Black Horseman, Famine. To find the killer, he'll have to enter the tournament and fight gods, monsters, and other Horsemen, eliminating his suspects one by one. May the best Horseman win.
- Knight Shift
4
Hunting ghouls bites. Literally, as Lazarus found out on his last job. Now, to keep from turning into a ghoul himself, he has no choice but to wait in Faerie while his friends work on a cure. Lucky for Laz, he's got friends in high places inside the Summer Court. Laz is barely settled in when he's caught up in an assassination plot against the Summer Princess, who just happens to be his ex-girlfriend. With the Summer Knight injured, who better to step in and take his place protecting the royal family than Lazarus himself? In a land with no death, however, the Pale Horseman finds himself at an extreme disadvantage. With his powers limited, and the clock ticking as the ghoul virus ravages his body, Laz had better find the assassins and cure himself fast, or he's dead meat.
- Death's Door
6
Hell hath no fury like a Horseman scorned. They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. For Lazarus Kerrigan, that couldn't be further from the truth. He's got no intention of playing nice once he gets there, not with Emma's soul on the line. To free her, he'll have to travel through not one Hell, but seven, cutting deals with ghosts, Titans, and gods who would rather crush the Pale Horseman than help him. Opening that many doors to the underworld is a dangerous plan, one that will require him to call in every favor. It still might not be enough to help him get there in time, since he's got only seven days before death's door slams shut to him forever. Time to raise a little Hell.
- Night Terror
7
Living nightmares. Dead relatives. And one really awkward turkey dinner . . . After an exhausting trek through seven hells, all Lazarus wants is to kick back and relax through the holidays. Unfortunately, the supernatural has other plans. Three murder-suicides in as many weeks has New Orleans on edge. The killers? All family men, loving fathers, and wizards. Two is a coincidence, but three is a pattern Lazarus can't ignore, especially since he fits the profile. Something is driving these men insane and making them murder their beloved families. Something that strikes only at night and leaves only nightmares behind. If Lazarus doesn't find whatever is behind these strange deaths and soon, his family might be next on the menu.
- Dark Horse
9
A storm is coming, and Lazarus is the only one who can stop it. Summer in New Orleans means hot days, humid nights, and the constant threat of hurricanes. Like most people in the Big Easy, Laz has weathered his fair share of storms, but the city is about to get hit by the biggest hurricane in recorded history, a hurricane with a supernatural source. As the people around him prepare to evacuate, Laz is pulled into a game of cat and mouse with the Norse god, Loki. To survive, he'll have to work with old enemies and make a few new friends. To win, he'll have to beat the trickster god at his own game. Even if he somehow survives Loki's traps, he's got the hurricane to deal with and the monster behind it, one not even gods know how to stop. Laz has always been good at thinking outside the box, but how do you tame a hurricane?
- Dark Revel
8
There's a new necromancer in town, and he wants to take out the competition. Permanently. Nothing says New Orleans more than Mardi Gras. Parades, booze, beads, and missing people turning into zombies. Zombies only another necromancer could have created. Taking him out should be no problem for the Pale Horseman, except this one seems to know everything about Laz's life, maybe even better than he knows himself. Nothing is sacred to a psychotic killer armed with necromancy, including Lazarus' family. Pulled into a deadly game of cat and mouse with a deranged killer, Laz must choose between becoming what he fears most or handing his life over to a madman. One with a disturbingly familiar face . . .
- Casting Shadows
10
Old sins cast long shadows even Death can't hide from. It's been a year since Lazarus went to Hell to free Emma's soul. With Loki gone, things are finally starting to settle down for the Pale Horseman. At least until a dangerous supernatural virus forces New Orleans to grind to a halt. With thousands of innocent people infected, Lazarus must find the source and shut it down before it becomes a global pandemic. Just when he thinks he's got it under control, refugees from Faerie arrive with dire news. If the creature behind the deadly virus isn't stopped, Earth could be decimated . . . just as Faerie was. The monster responsible is unlike any Lazarus has faced before, and this is just his opening gambit. But this new foe is about to find out there's nothing more dangerous than a man without a plan . . .
- Until Death
12
Deck the halls with eldritch monsters . . . The holidays have been anything but relaxing for Lazarus Kerrigan. Between planning a wedding and selling his house, he's barely had a moment to think about the supernatural. When strange, Christmas-themed monsters begin attacking him in the open, it's time for the gloves to come off. Mask is making his move. Lazarus and company are determined to take the fight to him. A battle with Mask means traveling back to the Nightlands, reading from a cursed book, and using a spell that could destroy reality as we know it. To pull it all off, he'll need help from an unlikely source, a detective with questionable origins himself. One thing's for sure. They're in for anything but a silent night.
- Lost Soul
11
Dying is easy. Coming back is the hard part. After shattering his soul during a spell, Lazarus has just six days to find the pieces and put them back together. Not an easy task when every reaper in the underworld is gunning to claim his soul, including the reaper king, Thanatos. To reclaim the lost fragments of his soul, he'll have to face old enemies, travel to Faerie to battle his most fearsome foe yet, and acquire a vast sum of sugary snack cakes. If he fails, more than his own life is on the line. Mask is amassing an army to retake Earth and snuff out all life forever. Can Lazarus pull himself together in time to save the world one more time?
