Who is Joanna Rand? Alex Hunter hasn't come to Japan to fall in love. But Joanna Reed is the most beautiful, exciting woman he's ever met. Yet, Joanna is not who she thinks she is. Ten years earlier and halfway across the world, a brutally bizarre experiment recreated her mind; a violation so hideous that her dreams are filled with terror and her memories are a lie. If they are ever to be free, Alex and Joanna have to re-open the door into the nightmare past - they have to find the key to midnight.

A witty, modern married couple who live in urban England, while on a weekend holiday in Wales, explore a seemingly deserted village and find an ancient stone cottage, where an old woman with long white hair lies motionless on a pallet. They at first think she's dead but she slowly awakens...and turns out to be a long-lost relative. She offers no explanation for why she lives alone in a nearly empty, crumbling cottage next to a deserted village. Lacking other family, David and Joelle embrace Gwendolen, take her back to England with them and before long, the independent old lady has set up housekeeping near them...keeping a watchful eye on the young couple...maybe too watchful. Then their lives, and the lives of everyone who knows them, begin slowly and inexorably to fall apart as a plague of revelations sweeps through the lives of all... -
In the midst of a wartime evacuation, a British aeroplane, carrying evacuated schoolboys, crashes on an isolated island in a remote region of the Pacific Ocean. At first the boys are enchanted with their freedom from supervision and authority, but Ralph and a few of his friends recognise the need to learn and implement survival skills, such as fishing, hunting, shelter and maintaining a smoke signal for rescue. But it's not long before even this basic law and order deteriorates as the boys are more concerned with fun, lazing and the formation of a group of hunters and their rituals. And now the horror really begins....Labelled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies is perhaps the most memorable novel about the end of innocence...the darkness of man’s heart. -
