"Tom Brandner provides horror fans with a wild ride into a
hellish past - 5 stars."
-Harriet Klausner, Amazon's #1 Book reviewer
"Stephen King has a new rival for the title of Master of Horror.
Fans of horror, put this one on the top of your list."
-ReviewYourBook.com
"Tom Brander has your requisite things that go bump in the
basement, shadows that pass across your line of sight, the crawly
things that come up out of the river and variety of other worldy
beings . . . reminding me a lot of Dean Koontz's earlier novels.
Sign me up to read this author's work any time."
-The Printed Page
""The Ride" is a thrilling and imaginative horror story."
-Bookfinds.comU.S.
A horrific accident, a dead man, and an extraordinary red truck
set the stage for this thrilling ride into the unknown world of the
lost and wicked. After a terrible car accident, a dying man hands
body shop owner Carl Lee a mysterious envelope containing a gold
key. Carl takes it, unaware that both his life and the life of his
seventy-four-year-old grandfather, Thaddeus James, will be forever
changed.
Carl restores the man's red truck and gives it to his
grandfather as a birth-day present. Thaddeus quickly discovers,
however, that the truck is no ordinarily vehicle; it blurs the
boundaries between life and death. More than that, Thaddeus and
Carl now find themselves encountering sinister forces and
otherworldly beings.
"The Ride" breaks the barriers of time and space and delves into
the nether world of the damned. It is a love-inspired quest to save
a life from the past, with the menacing, mysterious villain and a
host of strange creatures stand-ing in the way. It's a chilling
chase to reshape the past, and those who try must accept the dire
consequences of daring to take the ride.
A milestone of American supernatural fiction, The King in Yellow
created a sensation upon its 1895 publication. Since then, it has
markedly influenced writers in the genre, most famously, H. P.
Lovecraft. Author Robert W. Chambers has been hailed as a writer of
remarkable imaginative powers and the historic link between Edgar
Allan Poe and Stephen King. This edition features the original 10
gripping stories. The book is named after a fictional play with the
same title which recurs as a motif through some of the stories. The
first half of the book features highly esteemed weird stories, and
the book is described by S.T. Joshi as a classic in the field of
the supernatural. There are ten stories, the first four of which,
"The Repairer of Reputations", "The Mask", "In the Court of the
Dragon" and "The Yellow Sign", mention The King in Yellow, a
forbidden play which induces despair or madness in those who read
it.

The Mountain View Hotel and Resort was a six-storey hotel nestled
in the Adirondack Mountains in central Pennsylvania, which had its
heyday in the 1930's and 1940's with guests that included famous
personalities, but also had some shady characters.Then, in 2025,
the Smith family gets lost while trying to travel to New York for
the matriarch, Kristen's niece's christening.They take refuge in
The Mountain View, where they discover that both the hotel staff
and its guests are more than what they seem and eventually the
Smith family races against time to escape with their very l
A mariner inherits a skull that screams incessantly along with the
roar of the sea; a phantom hare stalks the moors to deliver justice
for a crime long dead; a man witnesses a murder in the woods near
St. Ives, only to wonder whether it was he himself who committed
the crime. Offering a bounty of lost or forgotten strange and
Gothic tales set in Cornwall, Cornish Horrors explores the rich
folklore and traditions of the region in a journey through mines,
local mythology, shipwrecks, seascapes, and the coming of the
railway and tourism. With stories by Gothic luminaries such as Bram
Stoker and Edgar Allan Poe, this new collection also features
chilling yarns of the haunted peninsula from a host of
underappreciated writers from the past two centuries.
In a world where pop-culture is saturated with zombie mania
comes... another zombie book... where the word Zombie is only used
once. The reader will follow Parker, an ex World War III army medic
who must deal with annoying hallucination ghosts, neo government
corruption, hot deserts, hords of not-zombies that are totally
zombies, and an angry Mexican who is friend but almost kills him.
