Monsters: We're All a Little Different
Monsters: We're All a Little DifferentMonsters and monster-killers come in all shapes and sizes in this collection of three horror novellas by Glenn Rolfe, Tom Deady, and Nick Kolakowski. <b>IT CAME FROM THE LAKE</b> by Glenn Rolfe: Owens Lake is protected by a reclusive war vet by the name of Francis Owens, but this man is not the only threat around. When Leilani runs away from the nicest foster home she’s ever known, she winds up two hours north in a town called Belgrade. It isn’t scary—boring, maybe—but the town appears peaceful and slow . Quincy appreciates that serene quiet, and has his own hideaway from life in one of the empty cabins surrounding Owens Lake. He knows about Francis, but facing a crazy vet is nothing compared to his old man. These two teens’ paths cross when they discover there’s something else to this particular body of water… <i>It Came from the Lake</i> is the latest horror from the imagination of Glenn Rolfe, author of <i>August’s Eyes</i> and <i>Blood and Rain</i>. <b>IN THE GLASTENBURY WOODS</b> by Tom Deady: It was supposed to be the road trip to end all road trips. The summer of 1986, a few weeks before Dave and his two friends went their separate ways to college and the military. One last hurrah to Toronto to see Hulk Hogan and the rest of the WWF in The Big Event. It all goes wrong when they take a detour through Vermont’s notorious Glastenbury Woods. There’s something in the forest, and it’s out for blood. But Dave has another reason for the trip, and he doesn’t plan on letting anyone, or anything, get in his way. <b>GROUNDHOG SLAY</b> by Nick Kolakowski: It’s the summer of 1987. Around Lake Legionnaire, locals whisper tales of an unstoppable monster rampaging through the night, killing everyone in its way. But what if the monster’s just trying to stop something far worse — a threat that could destroy all existence? <i>Groundhog Slay</i> shows that not all heroes wear sometimes they wear creepy masks, and they’re a little bit too skilled with a chainsaw…
The Essential Horror of Joe R. Lansdale
The Essential Horror of Joe R. LansdaleJoe R. Lansdale is known for his gritty mysteries (the Hap and Leonard series) and his eccentric horror (Bubba Ho-tep), for which he has won ten Bram Stoker Awards. He is also cited by many of horror's most acclaimed writers as a huge influence upon them: Stephen Graham Jones, Josh Malerman, Gabino Iglesias, Brian Keene, and Joe Hill, who contributes an original introduction to this collection. Lansdale's horror stories mash up crime, Southern Gothic, fantasy, and science fiction, filtered through a raw, violent world of dark humor and unique characters. He was one of the first horror writers to portray American racism not as abstract or impersonal, but as realistic, intimate, in-your-face, and impossible to ignore. In Lansdale's nightmarish visions, discover psychotic demon nuns, a god fueled by hatred, a psychopathic preacher, a weed-eater wielding blind man, cannibals, 80-year-old Elvis, undead strippers, flying ghost fish, elder gods, possessed cars, and the worst evil of all: man.
A Nest of Broken Bones
A Nest of Broken BonesCharlotte Mallory has all the things she thought she never would – a booming career as a romance novelist, a picturesque ranch home in West Texas, and a child that doctors told her she’d never be able to bear. But what happened that night Malachi was conceived is impossible for her to explain, and the ways in which it changed her life are not all for the better. Her son is different. His needs are different. To provide for him, Charlotte must do things that would make her a monster in the eyes of the world if anyone ever found out about them. But if Malachi ever finds out about the world outside the ranch where she keeps him hidden away, the carnage will be even more catastrophic.

Caitlín R. Kiernan's <i><b>In the Garden of Poisonous Flowers</i></b> is a wickedly delicious novella that tells us a bit more about Dancy Flammarion. Dancy, an albino orphan whose angels tell her what monsters to kill, was a pivotal character in the author's second novel <i><b>Threshold</b></i> (2001). In <b><i>Garden</i></b>'s 85 pages you'll also meet The Bailiff - a mysterious gentleman who travels with two vampires - and Miss Aramat Drawdes, the unspoken matriarch of the Stephens Ward Tea League and Society of Resurrectionists. Miss Aramat and her ladies are an elegant and decadent sisterhood of ghouls who live in a grand mansion in Savannah, Georgia to whom The Bailiff delivers Dancy for his own arcane reasons. <i><b>In the Garden of Poisonous Flowers</i></b> is award-winning fantasist Caitlin R. Kiernan's first-ever novella, giving us a glimpse into the life of Dancy Flammarion shortly before her appearance in Kiernan's critically-acclaimed second novel, <i><b>Threshold</b></i>. This gritty yet decadent story of ghouls, corruption, and talking bears, draws us deeply into a world of madness and betrayal, forbidden appetites and deadly intrigue, and the light that shines from the most unlikely of heroes.

A Deadly Education
A Deadly EducationEveryone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. As far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artefacts. I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, making myself the dark queen of the world. At least, that’s what the world expects. Most of the other students in here would be delighted if Orion killed me, like one more evil thing that’s crawled out of the drains. Sometimes I think they want me to turn into the evil witch they assume I am. The school certainly does. But the Scholomance isn’t getting what it wants from me. And neither is Orion Lake. I may not be anyone’s idea of the shining hero, but I’m going to make it out of this place alive, and I’m not going to slaughter thousands to do it, either. Although I’m giving serious consideration to just one.
It
It"They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made twenty-eight years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children. Now, children are being murdered again and their repressed memories of that terrifying summer return as they prepare to once again battle the monster lurking in Derry’s sewers."-- Provided by Amazon
Blood Oranges
Blood OrangesMy name’s Quinn. If you buy into my reputation, I’m the most notorious demon hunter in New England. But rumors of my badassery have been slightly exaggerated. Instead of having kung-fu skills and a closet full of medieval weapons, I’m an ex-junkie with a talent for being in the wrong place at the right time. Or the right place at the wrong time. Or…whatever. Wanted for crimes against inhumanity I (mostly) didn’t commit, I was nearly a midnight snack for a werewolf until I was “saved” by a vampire calling itself the Bride of Quiet. Already cursed by a werewolf bite, the vamp took a pint out of me too. So now…now, well, you wouldn’t think it could get worse, but you’d be dead wrong.
