About the book
It was a steal of a deal. Until the house started watching them sleep.
After a string of bad luck, siblings Michael and Ellery Lisbon take a chance on a too-cheap house in the eerie town of Plum Hollow. It’s a fresh start, or it should be. Except two years ago, the family who lived there was brutally murdered.
The locals hate the house. They’re not too fond of its new occupants either.
Soon, Ellery is seeing things. Shadows that move. Laughter where no one stands. Flashbacks that don’t belong to her. As the siblings unravel the dark truth behind the massacre, something ancient and hungry stirs.
The house doesn’t want guests. It wants victims.
And once it opens the door, it never lets you leave.

About the book
An unforgettable contemporary ghost story in the tradition of Henry James's The Turn of the Screw from the award-winning author of October.
Rising from the fog over the waters of Devil's Lake, Blackmore Island is home to the infamous summerhouse called Wild Fell. A sinister past lies within its walls, and rumors of teenagers disappearing nearby have become the stuff of local legend. The townspeople do their best to avoid the place, and no one has lived there for over fifty years—until now.
Jameson Browning is ready for a break from all the drama in his life when he discovers an ad in the newspaper for a turn-of-the-century estate on a private island in Georgian Bay. It's a good location, and the price is a steal. How could he say no?
Except something is waiting inside the house for Jameson, ready to show him his senses can't always be trusted and the past isn't always gone forever . . .
"A novel for lovers of fine storytelling; a book that evokes terrors both ancient and modern . . . Wild Fell is supernatural fiction of the highest order." —Clive Barker, author of The Scarlet Gospels
"Deeply textured, richly imagined, and with characters that leap from the book, Wild Fell is an atmospheric ghost story that grips from the first page. A fine novel that is destined to become a classic." —Tim Lebbon, New York Times–bestselling author of the Relics series

Our take
A forgotten train tunnel becomes the doorway to something that feeds on sleep. When a boy falls into a coma and whispers of a nightmare world called Lalaland, Deputy Beth Gardner uncovers ritualistic murders tied to old lullabies and a man driven to kill the comatose.

Choose your retailer
About the book
From J. H. Markert, the author Peter Farris calls the "clear heir to Stephen King," Mister Lullaby brings our darkest dreams and nightmares to life.
In the vein of T. Kingfisher and Christopher Golden, the boundary protecting our world from the monsters on the other side is weakening—and Mister Lullaby is about to break through.
The small town of Harrod’s Reach has seen its fair share of the macabre, especially inside the decrepit old train tunnel around which the town was built. After a young boy, Sully Dupree, is injured in the abandoned tunnel and left in a coma, the townspeople are determined to wall it up. Deputy sheriff Beth Gardner is reluctant to buy into the superstitions until she finds two corpses at the tunnel’s entrance, each left with strange calling cards inscribed with old lullabies. Soon after, Sully Dupree briefly awakens from his coma.
Before falling back into his slumber, Sully manages to give his older brother a message. Sully's mind, since the accident, has been imprisoned on the other side of the tunnel in Lalaland, a grotesque and unfamiliar world inhabited by evil mythical creatures of sleep. Sully is trapped there with hundreds of other coma patients, all desperately fighting to keep the evils of the dream world from escaping into the waking world.
Elsewhere, a man troubled by his painful youth has for years been hearing a voice in his head he calls Mr. Lullaby, and he has finally started to act on what that voice is telling him—to kill any coma patient he can find, quickly.
Something is waking up in the tunnel—something is trying to get through. And Mr. Lullaby is coming.

About the book
Three sisters. Three keys. One house that never let go.
As children, the Finch sisters discovered a decaying mansion with endless doors—and one key for each of them. What they found behind those doors changed them forever. They never spoke of it again.
Now, the youngest, Claire, is dead—found inside that same house.
Meg and Esther are pulled back to the place that shattered their childhood, facing not just the bitter fallout of their broken relationship, but something darker. Something waiting. The keys still fit. The rooms are still there. And the truth they've tried to bury is clawing its way back.
Part ghost story, part emotional reckoning, Through the Midnight Door is a chilling tale of generational trauma, sisterhood, and the horrors we inherit—and the ones we invite in.

"A masterwork of horror."—Time
Victoria McQueen has an uncanny knack for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. When she rides her bicycle over the rickety old covered bridge in the woods near her house, she always emerges in the places she needs to be.
Charles Talent Manx has a gift of his own. He likes to take children for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the vanity plate NOS4A2. In the Wraith, he and his innocent guests can slip out of the everyday world and onto hidden roads that lead to an astonishing playground of amusements he calls Christmasland. The journey across the highway of Charlie's twisted imagination transforms his precious passengers, leaving them as terrifying and unstoppable as their benefactor.
Then comes the day when Vic goes looking for trouble...and finds her way to Charlie. That was a lifetime ago. Now, the only kid ever to escape Charlie's evil is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx hasn't stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. On the road again, he won't slow down until he's taken his revenge. He's after something very special—something Vic can never replace.
As a life-and-death battle of wills builds, Vic McQueen prepares to destroy Charlie once and for all—or die trying.
