But behind the soulless eyes lurked a burning intelligence - an animal cunning infinitely superior to anything on four legs. And he had come to Chicago...Homicide detective Jack Eichord had never known a psychopath like it. This was no run-of-the-mill killing machine; this was a butcher who believed in job satisfaction. A serial murderer so depraved that he devoured the hearts of his victims. There wasn't a killer on earth who took life so efficiently, so sadistically - or so often...and if he gets his way, there won't be enough lives left for anyone to try...Cover art by David O'Connor.

According to statistics, only 10% of the world's population has seen a ghost or experienced something supernatural. What lends substance to this small number is that it is 10% of each generation. Thus, over the millennia, many millions of people have encountered haunts of one sort or another, and it is this rather formidable number that makes the phenomenon believable. What makes them unbelievable is the sceptical 90% and it is between these two disparate hordes - living and dead - that the debate has raged for thousands of years. In this volume there are well known cases - Borley Rectory, the most haunted house in England, the Phantom Battle of Edgehill, the Drummer of Tedworth - but also lesser known occurrences, such as the late Nelly Butler and the Dark Lady of Bognor Regis. There are also chapters on poltergeists, non-human apparitions, spirit voices and demons. -

In a child's bedroom in a suburban Philadelphia home, Edward Benson is listening for footsteps on the stairs. The footfall Edward is waiting for will not be human. It could be someone's pet cat, or a stuffed teddy bear, or a smiling marionette doll. But whatever it is that comes creeping up the stairs will have two qualities: it will be animated by a terrifying, diabolical force, and it will have only one intention - murder. If Edward Benson wants his daughter back, he will have to fight a battle no human has ever fought before. And he must win, for only the victor will return with his life - and his soul from the realms of dark, unspeakable evil. -
