About the book
A terrifying thriller that will crawl beneath your skin . . . and leave fresh blood on every page.
“Fraught with tension . . . Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets The Hot Zone.”—Rocky Mountain News
Across America a mysterious disease is turning ordinary people into raving, paranoid murderers who inflict brutal horrors on strangers, themselves, and even their own families.
Working under the government’s shroud of secrecy, CIA operative Dew Phillips crisscrosses the country trying in vain to capture a live victim. With only decomposing corpses for clues, CDC epidemiologist Margaret Montoya races to analyze the science behind this deadly contagion. She discovers that these killers all have one thing in common—they’ve been contaminated by a bioengineered parasite, shaped by a complexity far beyond the limits of known science.
Meanwhile Perry Dawsey—a hulking former football star now resigned to life as a cubicle-bound desk jockey—awakens one morning to find several mysterious welts growing on his body. Soon Perry finds himself acting and thinking strangely, hearing voices . . . he is infected.
The fate of the human race may well depend on the bloody war Perry must wage with his own body, because the parasites want something from him, something that goes beyond mere murder.

About the book
#1 New York Times bestselling author and master storyteller Stephen King’s classic tale of an evil car that brings hellish terror to its new owner.
It’s love at first sight for high school student Arnie Cunningham when he and his best friend Dennis Guilder spot the dilapidated 1958 red-and-white Plymouth Fury for sale—dubbed “Christine” by its original cantankerous owner—rusting away on a front lawn of their suburban Pennsylvania neighborhood. Dennis knows that Arnie’s never had much luck in the popularity department, or really taken an interest in owning a car…but Christine quickly changes all that.
Arnie suddenly has the newfound confidence to stick up for himself, going as far as dating the most beautiful girl at Libertyville High—transfer student Leigh Cabot—even as a mysteriously restored Christine systematically and terrifyingly consumes every aspect of Arnie’s life. Dennis and Leigh soon realize that they must uncover the awful truth behind a car with a horrifying and murderous history. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and heaven help anyone who gets in Christine’s way…

About the book
THE INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER
Seven authors enter the manor
Can they survive the story within?
When legendary horror author Mortimer Queen passes, a group of writers find themselves invited to his last will and testament reading expecting a piece of his massive fortune. Each have their own unique connection to the literary icon, some known, some soon to be discovered, and they've been waiting for their chance to step into the author's shoes for some time.
Instead, they arrive at his grand manor and are invited to play a game. The rules are simple, solve the riddle and progress to the next room. If they don't, the manor will take one of them for itself.
You see, the Queen estate was built on the bones of Mortimer's family, and like any true horror story, the house is still very, very hungry.
With the clever, locked-room thrills of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone with the ghostly horror of The Fall of the House of Usher, How to Survive a Horror Story is a bright, biting, thrill-ride that begs us to contemplate how the best horror stories come to be.

About the book
The influential masterpiece of one of the twentieth century’s most brilliant—and neglected—science fiction and horror writers, whom Stephen King called “the best writer of science fiction that England has ever produced.”—now in development as a miniseries directed by Johan Renck.
“[Wyndham] avoids easy allegories and instead questions the relative values of the civilisation that has been lost, the literally blind terror of humanity in the face of dominant nature. . . . Frightening and powerful, Wyndham’s vision remains an important allegory and a gripping story.”—The Guardian
What if a meteor shower left most of the world blind—and humanity at the mercy of mysterious carnivorous plants?
Bill Masen undergoes eye surgery and awakes the next morning in his hospital bed to find civilization collapsing.

About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The #1 bestselling author of The Island is back with another pulse-pounding, twisty read!
Haunted by the past . . . terrified of the present.
Penny knows she must forget about her ex, Nash. Ever since his father was revealed as the brutal serial killer who traumatized their small town last Halloween, Penny’s parents have forbidden her to have anything to do with Nash or his family. It’s hard not to think of him—but she’s trying.
That stops when she goes shopping with friends for a costume. What she finds instead is ripped from a horror movie: someone from school bleeding out on the floor of a dressing room. Stabbed.
People are quick to blame Nash and his sister, Grace, but as Halloween nears and the body count rises, Penny can’t help thinking this copycat killer is someone no one else suspects. . . .

About the book
“If you've been looking for your newest horror obsession after The Haunting of Hill House, read this one next.”—BuzzFeed
She didn't run from her dark past. She moved in
For the lucky among us, life is what you make of it; but for Dixie Wheeler, the theme music for her story was chosen by another long ago, on the day her father butchered her mother and brothers and then slashed a knife across his own throat. Only one-year-old Dixie was spared, becoming infamously known as Baby Blue for the song left playing in the aftermath of the slaughter.
Twenty-five years later, Dixie is still desperate for a connection to the family she can’t remember. So when her childhood home goes up for sale, Dixie sets aside all reason and moves in. But as the ghosts of her family seemingly begin to take up residence in the house that was once theirs, Dixie starts to question her sanity and wonders if the evil force menacing her is that of her father or a demon of her own making.
In order to make sense of her present, Dixie becomes determined to unravel the truth of her past and seeks out the detective who originally investigated the murders. But the more she learns, the more she opens up the uncomfortable possibility that the sins of her father may belong to another. As bodies begin to pile up around her, Dixie must find a way to expose the lunacy behind her family’s massacre to save her few loved ones who are still alive—and whatever scrap of sanity she has left.

About the book
Not all monsters come from the movies…
In the fall of 2008, John Carver’s older brother, Owen, goes missing. He is found dead a few days later, his body torn apart by the local wildlife. Despite reports of strange noises heard at the time of Owen’s disappearance, the police rule the tragedy as “a death by misadventure.”
Fast forward to the summer of 2009.
To cope with his brother’s passing, John dives into the art of filmmaking. Armed with a camcorder and his two closest friends, Ali and Becca, he begins work on a horror movie with the hopes of winning the local Harvest Festival Short Film Contest and a prize of a thousand dollars. The work proves difficult but rewarding.
Until, while gathering footage one night, the trio crosses paths with something inhuman.
And a new question now burns in John’s mind: Is this the creature responsible for his brother’s death? He doesn’t know for certain, but he won’t stop until he finds out the truth.
Even if it kills him.
This page-turning horror novel is perfect for fans of monster stories, characters with unbreakable bonds, and coming-of-age horror classics like IT, A BOY’S LIFE, and SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES.

About the book
A century-old mystery—and a desperate battle to survive—unfold in this standalone thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter and Recursion.
On Christmas Day in 1893, every man, woman, and child in a remote mining town disappeared, belongings forsaken, meals left to freeze in vacant cabins, and not a single bone found.
Now, journalist Abigail Foster and her historian father have set out to explore the long-abandoned town and learn what happened. With them are two backcountry guides—along with a psychic and a paranormal photographer who are there to investigate rumors that the town is haunted.
But Abigail and her companions are about to learn that the town’s ghosts are the least of their worries. Twenty miles from civilization, with a blizzard bearing down, they realize they are not alone.
The ordeal that follows will test this small team past the breaking point as they battle the elements and human foes alike—and discover that the town’s secrets still have the power to kill.
Part journey into old-West history, part nail-biting survival thriller, Abandon is a bloody, darkly surprising tale as only Blake Crouch could deliver.

About the book
Our final reckoning; Earth's introduction to the alien race we have always feared would find us. They are bent on our complete enslavement through brutal conquest, and they seem unstoppable. The violent end of all humanity begins at a Widespread Panic concert at Red Rocks. Thousands of humans are suddenly transported to an enormous alien vessel where they are pitted against each other in gladiatorial death matches for the entertainment of a Master Race of reptilian monsters.
Those that are not worthy of battle are eaten.
Enter our unlikely hero, Michael Talbot, a college student taken hostage from Red Rocks. Through nerve, wit, and blind luck, he rises to the top of the Arena Match Rankings, scoring better accommodations and collecting prizes—human women given as "spoils" to the victor of each match.
Meanwhile, on Earth, the U.S. Government cautiously approaches the spacecraft orbiting Jupiter, hoping for a diplomatic solution. But Paul Ginson, Mike's childhood friend, has other plans. He is building a militia, certain that an all-out alien invasion is the more likely outcome.
A great place to enter the Tufo universe, this is the introduction to some of Mark's most endearing characters and one of his best-loved series. The reader is transported through candid, personal anecdote then held spellbound by incredibly heroic, often graphic scenarios. Written with humor and courage, deeply insightful and terrifying, this sweeping epic explores all it means to be human.
