A disturbed presence may be sometimes sensed in the gracious Georgian Lamb House or its grounds. Author and diarist E.F. Benson actually saw the ghost. Henry James, novelist, felt it - not long after he moved in, he wrote The Turn Of The Screw. This is a story of what may have happened to cause the haunting; the first part being the imagined life of Toby Lamb, whose father built the house that stands at the top of Mermaid Street, Rye - an 18th century tragedy whose griefs and frustrations will reach far into the future. This is followed by what may have easily occurred during the occupancies of two famous literary tenants; Henry James, all hints and shades - and E.F. Benson, visited by a more robust and swinging spectre. The restless ghost pleads for a service to be performed - but what? Who was the dark stranger that E.F. Benson encountered in the gardens? And what agency set the fire that nearly destroyed Henry James' study? -
The old man's story was too crazy to be believed - it had to be a hoax, or the ramblings of a madman. Even the amazing photographs he claimed as proof could be fakes. But before they could be verified, the photos were stolen and the old man brutally murdered, his hand hacked off at the wrist. Investigative reporter Jason Van Cleve was onto the story of a lifetime, hotter than any in recorded history: the truth about the man called Jesus and the woman called Lael. But there were powerful men who had already killed to keep the secret from being revealed - and Van Cleve knew they would kill again...and again... -
One theory weaves like a constant thread of darkness through human history...the rumour of an ancient race, more powerful than we are: elusive, terrifying, offering sexual frenzy but bringing madness and death. These are the tales of the Weerde. They gather at the edges of our settlements; they appear nightly on TV. They are not werewolves...but they are the shape-shifting predators of which occult legend speaks. They are plausible, charming, different...and very very dangerous. In this volume, eleven chilling tales that expose the terrifying truth behind the conspiracy: The Lady And/Or The Tiger I, Neil Gaiman and Roz Kaveney; A Wolf To Man, Roz Kaveney; Sunflower Pump, Paul Cornell; Rain, Chris Amies (as by Christopher Amies); What God Abandoned, Mary Gentle; To The Bad, Brian Stableford; A Strange Sort Of Friend, Josephine Saxton; Railway Mania, Michael Fearn; Blind Fate, Liz Holliday; A Change Of Season, Storm Constantine; Going To The Black Bear, Colin Greenland; Ancient Of Days, Charles Stross; The Lady And/Or The Tiger II, Neil Gaiman and Roz Kaveney. -

Icebound: Dean Koontz
$25.00A widespread drought is causing murderous famine. There is one possible solution: giant masses of Arctic ice, split from the polar pack by high explosives, could be moved south to parched coastlines and melted for water. In an Arctic ice field, a special team of eight scientists has planted sixty powerful bombs that will detonate automatically at midnight. But before they can withdraw to the safety of their base camp - Edgeway Station - a shattering tidal wave breaks loose the ice on which they are working, leaving them hopelessly marooned on an iceberg during the worst winter storm in a decade. The bombs, buried irretrievably deep beneath them in the ice, are ticking...And in the midst of a desperate struggle for survival, the scientists discover that one of them is a ruthless killer on a strange mission of his own...Cover art by Chris Moore. Originally published under the pseudonym David Axton.
