The Gunslinger
The Gunslinger[The Dark Tower][1] I The Gunslinger is a dark-fantasy by American author Stephen King. It is the first volume in the Dark Tower series. The Gunslinger was first published in 1982 as a fix-up novel, joining five short stories that had been published between 1978 and 1981.

Roland meets several people along his journey, including a boy named Jake Chambers, who travels with him part of the way.

The D'Ark: The Beast Rises
The D'Ark: The Beast RisesOn a glorious summer morning, four university students head off for a leisurely day of fishing. Aboard their pint-sized vessel sweet, intuitive Hiroko; tough, argumentative Liv; the fiercely truth-seeking Ajay; and big, gentle Nick. As they break from the idyllic Australian coastline, they have no idea they’re sailing straight into the jaws of hell. In the tradition of Orwell, Lewis, Goethe and Dante, this truth-bomb novel explores the nature of evil at all its levels, from the spiritual, to the psychological, to the sociological, to the geopolitical. And how, as it imposes itself on this current era, it could conspire to tear our world apart. Unless Hiroko, Liv, Ajay and Nick can, somehow, stop it. This is urban fantasy at its most thrilling, its most provocative, and its most profound.

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.
