  • You're travelling through another dimension, not only of sight and sound, but of mind:  a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of the imagination...The Twilight Zone:  where demonic tyrants of the past live again to terrorise a man who carries the seeds of their hate into the present; where evil perches on the wing of a plane taunting a psychic who dare not believe his eyes and hold onto his mind; where the power to control the world rests in the fantasy-fraught imagination of a lonely child; where the joys of eternal youth are offered to those who remember childhood and who are not too old to dream. With fabulous black and white photos from all four segments.

  • The day I died started out bad and got worse in a hurry... Betsy Taylor has just woken up in a morgue to discover she's a vampire. On the plus side, being undead does beat the alternative - she now has superhuman strength and an unnatural effect on the opposite sex. What Betsy can't handle is her new liquid diet. And whilst her mother is relieved to find out that being dead doesn't mean that Betsy can't visit, her new night-time friends have the ridiculous idea that Betsy is the prophesied vampire queen. The scrumptious Sinclair and his cohorts want her help in overthrowing the most obnoxious, power-hungry vampire for five centuries. Frankly, Betsy couldn't care less about vamp politics. But Sinclair and his friends have powerful methods of persuasion. Not the least of which is unlimited access to Manolo  Blahnik's Spring Collection...
  • On an entirely normal, beautiful autumn day in Chester’s Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. A planes crashes into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage; a gardener’s hand is severed as The Dome comes down on it; those running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families; cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away. The Army needs a man on the 'inside' and finds Dale Barbara, former Iraq veteran, now a short-order cook. He finds support with a few intrepid citizens - but against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a local politician who will stop at nothing - even murder - to cling to power and who sees The Dome as the answer to his political prayers. With Big Jim is his son, who is keeping a dreadful secret; and a bunch of Big Jim's renegade bully-boys who designate themselves as the new law and order. They have to find what created The Dome, fast. Because the children begin having dreams of a horrific Hallowe'en...electricity and the internet begin to fail...food and water is running short...air is limited...and time is running out...
  • Father John Rafferty is plunged into scandal when a young women he has been counselling is brutally murdered in his Greenwich Village church. This is no isolated act of violence, but a manifestation of a spiritual plague so deep and subtle it will tests all his faith and courage.  Beset by public scorn and private doubt, Father John is vulnerable.  His reputation is besmirched, his parish besieged by outside forces and betrayed from within by an evil as ancient as creation itself.  When he finally recognises the truth, he must overcome his horror and tap the ageless power of the priesthood if he is to fulfil his role as bulwark against the shadows that seek endlessly to engulf him.  The Devil walks among us every day and his face is far more familiar than we can bear to believe.
