Synopsis

<b>One cave. One lost soul. Now everything is rotting...</b> The Burdens are known throughout Oracle Springs for consorting with the devil. And for as long as anyone can remember, they've been outcasts — ignored, bullied, and run out of town. Until now. Jaelynn Burden left Oracle Springs years ago after an assault left her carrying the child of the town's most prominent golden boy. But after her unexpected death, her father, Jodie Burden, has brought her son back to the family homestead on the mountain. And with him comes something that shapeshifts, that slithers in the shadows, that brings rot and decay and putrid flesh. It promises the Burden clan retribution, revenge... But it also promises death. <b>Will anyone in Oracle Springs escape what's to come?</b>

Finders Keepers
Finders KeepersOverview: Wake up, genius. So announces deranged fan Morris Bellamy to iconic author John Rothstein, who once created the famous character Jimmy Gold and hasn't released anything since. Morris is livid, not just because his favorite writer has stopped publishing, but because Jimmy Gold ended up as a sellout. Morris kills his idol and empties his safe of cash, but the real haul is a collection of notebooks containing John Rothstein's unpublished work - including at least one more Jimmy Gold novel. Morris hides everything away before being locked up for another horrific crime. But upon Morris's release thirty-five years later, he's about to discover that teenager Pete Saubers has already found the stolen treasure-and no one but former police detective Bill Hodges, along with his trusted associates Holly Gibney and Jerome Robinson, stands in the way of his vengeance.

That’s the way Odd sees it, and that’s why he has already won over hearts on both sides of the great divide.

In the battle to come, there can be no innocent bystanders …

They prowl the halls, suggesting terror to come. But what form will it take? And how will Odd defeat an enemy that eclipses any he has met before?
The Green Mile
The Green MileSet in the 1930s at the Cold Mountain Penitentiary's death-row facility, The Green Mile is the riveting and tragic story of John Coffey, a giant, preternaturally gentle inmate condemned to death for the rape and murder of twin nine-year-old girls. It is a story narrated years later by Paul Edgecomb, the ward superintendent compelled to help every prisoner spend his last days peacefully and every man walk the green mile to execution with his humanity intact. Edgecomb has sent seventy-eight inmates to their date with "old sparky," but he's never encountered one like Coffey -- a man who wants to die, yet has the power to heal. And in this place of ultimate retribution, Edgecomb discovers the terrible truth about Coffey's gift, a truth that challenges his most cherished beliefs -- and ours. Originally published in 1996 in six self-contained monthly installments, The Green Mile is an astonishingly rich and complex novel that delivers over and over again. Each individual volume became a huge success when first published, and all six were on the New York Times bestseller list simultaneously. Three years later, when Frank Darabont made The Green Mile into an award-winning movie starring Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan, the book returned to the bestseller list -- and stayed there for months.
