When Darkness Falls by Ken Hudnall

The Anunnaki are coming home. The battle of the gods of old come once again to Earth in Ken Hudnall's When Darkness Falls. The residents of a small New Mexico town are caught up in the fray as mortal meets immortal in possibly the final clash for universal domination. Will the Earth be engulfed by the schemes of Asmodeus or Romar, Prince of the Annunaki Empire save humanity or will darkness once again fall on the Earth?

History is silent regarding his race walking the face of the Earth. But Romar, Prince of the Annunaki Empire was proof that once Gods walked the face of the planet. But these were all too human Gods, driven by the same ambitions as we mere mortals.

The Great Lord of Hosts, Anu ruled wisely, but his brother Asmodeus plotted to take the throne by use of the darkest sorcery. Stories of the civil war that erupted between the two factions came down to us as legends of gods and goddesses who warred for the souls of men. Anu’s forces won, but the great Anu was sorely wounded his the treachery of his own sister.

As a last effort to help the races he loved, Anu banished his sister to the Annunaki Colony on Mars and imprisoned his brother in the far reaches of his Earthly Empire. As a sign of his love for the people of Earth, he charged his only son with the job of guarding the emerging races from the evil working of the imprisoned Asmodeus, God of Evil.

Anu and his Annunaki Legions withdrew from Earth to the Heavenly City of Avalon, a station in space orbiting the sun between Venus and Mercury. There he rests to regain his strength sorely sapped by his sister’s vicious attack. His son Romar, immortal as a gift from the Gods, destined to walk the earth until the return of his father for the last battle against Asmodeus, Prince of Evil.

When Darkness Falls is available in eBook format at fine online retails such as Amazon, Amazon UK, Barnes and Noble, Kobo eBooks, iBookstore, and Smashwords.

Occult Connection Volume 1 by Ken Hudnall

The Occult Connection: UFOs, Secret Societies and Ancient Gods was released to the reading public in 1989 and this represents a digital edition of Ken Hudnall’s classic work. Hudnall’s ideas have influenced a score of recent works on the subject of alien intervention in humanities’ affairs. Throughout human history there has been an invisible hand at work guiding our development to a very precise goal. Author Ken Hudnall uses the now infamous Majestic 12 (MJ-12) documents from the late 1940s as a starting point to uncover a web of deception running the length and breadth of humanity’s collective experience. Working from an ancient aliens theory base, Hudnall explores how the ancient gods of our myths and legends have remained among us in plain sight. Known only as "The Shning Ones", these aliens have traded in their flying chariots, described in ancient texts, for the flying saucers seen all over the world today. Furthermore, these shadowy figures loom in the cigar filled rooms of groups like the Bilderburgs, Council on Foreign Relations, and dozens of other front organizations. But this is just the public face of the insidious alien menace. Hudnall draws connections between these publicly known groups and secret societies operating as an “Oz behind the curtain.” The goal of the true alien driven secret society agenda is not only to obfuscate their presence, but to control humanity for their own nefarious ends. Utilizing the Illuminati as their spring board, these aliens use the legendary men in black as foot soldiers in their crusade of control.

Follow along as the text explores all of the aspects of the UFO phenomenon and their connection between abductions of human by alleged alien spaceships, secret societies, and the ancient gods of history. The Occult Connection: UFOs, Secret Societies and Ancient Gods will leave you questioning every aspect of our collective history and how this manipulation has shaped your life.

The Occult Connection: UFOs, Secret Societies and Ancient Gods title is available in eBook format at fine online retails such as Amazon, Amazon Canada, Amazon UK, Barnes and Noble, Scribd, and Smashwords.

A New World If You Can Take It by Ancient Aliens Guest Rev. Michael J. Carter

Author of Alien Scriptures: Extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible and frequent guest of History Channel’s Ancient Aliens series, Reverend Michael Carter, takes ancient astronaut theory to its next developmental step in his latest work, A New World If You Can Take It: God, Extraterrestrials, and the Evolution Of Human Consciousness. Drawing on the works of such giants as Erich von Däniken and Zecharia Sitchin, it is well established that many in the UFO community believe that our ancient ancestors mistook extraterrestrial visitors for all powerful deities. Reverend Carter builds on this outlook by reexamining religious and spiritual philosophies and demonstrating how off-world intelligences shaped early religious teachings.

The concepts presented in this book are not for the spiritually faint of heart or those with closed minds. Reverend Carter courageously asks, and answers, the next rational question: How can one reconcile spirituality and faith with a belief that ancient astronauts influenced the events depicted in humanity’s greatest holy texts? Expanding on this line of questioning, Reverend Carter explores how expanding one’s spiritual consciousness may actually lead to the next step in human evolution.

Are you searching for more out of life? Do you have questions about what you have been taught by organized religion? Do you feel that if the world’s diverse population recognized their shared singular tradition of extraterrestrial involvement in human affairs would foster peace and prosperity for all of humanity? Can the messages from present day Star Visitors to contactees hold the key to unlocking your spiritual potential? Reverend Michael Carter encourages his readers to ask these questions, research for answers, and embrace what resonates with your heart. Are you ready for a New World?

Caverns, Caldrons, and Concealed Creatures 3rd Edition by William Michael Mott on Kindle

Grave Distractions Publications is proud to announce the publication for Amazon's Kindle of the third edition of the cult classic Caverns, Cauldrons, and Concealed Creatures is the first book of its kind to examine the striking similarities between folklore, religious, mythic, "new age," fictional, and first-hand eyewitness and historical accounts of anomalous beings, entities, cryptids, hidden civilizations, and related anomalies. The expanded third edition includes hundreds of new pages, 4 new chapters, and dozens of new and additional images!

Drawing from scientific facts, folklore, comparative mythology and eyewitness/anecdotal sources, it is demonstrable that the structure of our planet, the history of our species, the underlying truths disguised as our myths, legends, folklore and " pop culture " imagery, are not quite what we have been led to believe. The Earth itself is much more complex in structure than we have realized, and our species has perhaps experienced, through the ages, encounters and conflicts with "others"— non-human intelligences or beings of various types who have seldom been our friends. Memories and accounts of these encounters have come down to us in the form of folklore and mythology, often viewed with superstitious terror or awe through the conditioned lenses of religions, religious interpretation or "folk traditions." Such encounters are continuing today.

The theories put forth in this book are based on two types of evidence: very strong circumstantial evidence based on folklore, mythology, religion, legends, archeology, geology, and related areas, and first-hand or witness accounts, both ancient and modern. Often these two areas of source material or even anecdotal evidence overlap.

It is possible that these various phenomena and beings are in fact modern representations of those who have traditionally been considered fairies, gnomes, trolls, nagas, djinn, "aliens" and their "magic" is a technology of such antiquity, advancement and complexity that it is, to our limited understanding, "magical." With UFOlogy, cryptozoology, Fortean phenomena, and all the rest, we are in fact seeing, perhaps even participating in, an ongoing contemporary " update of "folklore," which is in actuality the way our human minds attempt to gather, categorize, assimilate, comprehend and decipher (as well as "cover up" with terror-masking simplifications) the very REAL evidence for the existence of such beings and their ongoing yet seemingly inexplicable activities.

From ancient myths to modern experiences from credible witnesses, it is ALL folklore, and ancient folk traditions may contain much more truth than has previously been believed, just as "forteana" and related topics do today. Once we make the leap of understanding that the creation of folklore is part of the process of comprehending these mysteries, and even may be caused by them, the whole picture of our culture, literature, fairy-tales, Jungian archetypes, and so on takes on an entirely different light. The creation of folklore, based on very real " others " and their parasitical or otherwise peripheral activities, has become an instinctive, mind-protecting function for the collective human mind.

Throughout our oral and written history as a species, folktales and folk traditions have either hinted at or indicated the reality of this "hidden world" which surrounds us. The furtive and parasitical nature of this "alternate reality" leaves no doubt as to the intrinsic hostility of these "others," or at best, the indifference that some of their "racial types" or subspecies exhibit toward humankind.

This book has been previously published in a First Edition, an expanded Second Edition, and now is offered EXCLUSIVELY in a greatly-expanded, magnum opus 3rd Edition presentation by Grave Distractions Publications with introductions by Brad Steiger, Micha Hanks, Brian J Allen, and Dean de Lucia. Not only is this visually and textually stunning digital version more expansive and complete; it is considerably less costly than its printed predecessors. New chapters, artwork, photographs, maps, and introductions are joined by substantial data and observations added to each section of the book, as well as a greatly-expanded appendix featuring the possibly non-human-generated imagery discovered by Richard S. Shaver, recorded in solid rock, and evidence of an ancient civilization that once existed on our planet.

This text is available in other eBook formats. Visit the Caverns, Cauldrons, and Concealed Creatures page at the Grave Distractions Publications website for the availabilities.

New Relase by Brian J Allan: The Believers: A Reinterpretation of Mystical and Religious Phenomena

In our second eBook release this weekend for paranormal and esoteric author Brian J Allan, The Believers: A Reinterpretation of Mystical and Religious Phenomena we see the next step in a logical progression of research and inquiry: are the "spiritual" and "religious" matters that humanity espouses or embraces intimately connected to, or part of, the paranormal and anomalous realm?  Is this part of a greater reality which is not only quantum in the micro- and macro-level, but also a source of manipulative intelligences, some of which are greater than our own? Some people seem destined to be used by these manipulative forces for destructive ends; others seem doomed to be dupes. Brian examines all of this with his characteristically crisp insight and rapier wit, and as always, his research is factually impeccable. This is a very important book, and one that should reside on the shelves of every student of comparative religion, mythology, Forteanism, Ufology, and the paranormal.  Brian compares cults, religious practices, relics, and personalities to their paranormal counterparts. 

Grave Distractions Publications has converted this text from the original print to various eBook formats. As of today it is available on Smashwords and at Barnes and Noble's Nook store. Releases for Amazon's Kindle, the iBookstore, and Sony eReader will be in the upcoming weeks.

New Relase from Brian J Allan: The Barriers of Belief

Over the weekend, Grave Distractions Publications released the first of two books by paranormal and esoteric author Brian J Allan.  "The Barriers of Belief explores the hair-thin line separating supposed extraterrestrials from virtually all the supernatural creatures found in myth and legend. The difference, where it exists, is based solely upon the perceptions and beliefs of the individual and the context in which the encounter occurs. It should be made clear from the outset that while this is not a book concentrating solely on alien abductions, it does describe situations where ordinary human beings have been placed in situations where the lines separating objective reality and fantasy become permeable.

The Barriers of Belief, contains several first hand investigations conducted by the author, also suggests that the mind numbing horrors so graphically described in the works of HP Lovecraft may be founded in the multiverse that surrounds our own version of reality. While the possibility of extraterrestrial interference cannot of course be ruled out, traditional folklore is replete with accounts that, if left in their context, describe contact and interaction with trolls, bogarts, ogres, fairies, elves, the sidhe, goblins, demons and many other entities inhabiting the very fringes of perception."
