A killing like no other. A killer more twisted than he's ever seen
before. A case that will test him to the limit. Has Robert Hunter
finally met his match? 'Do you believe the Devil exists,
Detective?' the officer at the end of the line asks. 'Because if
you don't . . . I'm sure you will once you get here.' Robert Hunter
is called to the most vicious crime scene he has ever attended. It
is made even more disturbing when the autopsy reveals a poem, left
by the killer, inside the body of their victim. Soon, another body
is found. The methods and signature of the murder differs, but the
level of violence used suggests that the same person is behind both
crimes. Hunter's fears are confirmed when a second part of the poem
is found. But this discovery does more than just link the two
killings - it suggests that this is the work of a serial murderer.
With no forensic evidence to go on, Robert Hunter must catch the
most disciplined and systematic killer that he has ever
encountered, someone who thrives on the victims' fear, and to whom
death is a lesson that needs to be taught. From #1 Sunday Times and
multi-million copy bestselling author, Chris Carter, comes the most
compelling and ruthless Robert Hunter thriller yet. ***PRE-ORDER

Halloween, 1963. They call him the October Boy, or Ol' Hacksaw
Face, or Sawtooth Jack. Whatever the name, everybody in this small
Midwestern town knows who he is. How he rises from the cornfields
every Halloween, a butcher knife in his hand, and makes his way
toward town, where gangs of teenage boys eagerly await their chance
to confront the legendary nightmare. Both the hunter and the
hunted, the October Boy is the prize in an annual rite of life and
death.
Pete McCormick knows that killing the October Boy is his one chance
to escape a dead-end future in this one-horse town. He's willing to
risk everything, including his life, to be a winner for once. But
before the night is over, Pete will look into the saw-toothed face
of horror--and discover the terrifying true secret of the October
Boy . . .

Welcome to Buenos Aires, a place of nightmares and twisted
imaginings, where missing children come back from the dead and
unearthed bones carry terrible curses. Thrumming with murderous
intentions, family betrayals and morbid desires, these stories
shine a light on a violent city gripped by urban madness; giving
voice to the lost, the oppressed and the forgotten. Lucid and
darkly poetic, unsettling and otherworldly, these tales of revenge,
witchcraft and fetishes are a masterpiece of contemporary Gothic
and a bewitching exploration of the dark inclinations that threaten
to lead us over the edge. 'There is some serious power in this
writing' Daisy Johnson
