Eight Legged Deadly Sin A season after Sharkantula devastated Shark World, the park reopens with a new feature attraction's arrival, a feisty sloth. As Peyton and Stephanie help Trey, the newest park staff member, prep the sloth for its release in the forest exhibit alongside the existing female sloth, the genetically modified tarantula that created the Sharkantula pays a visit. While the new sloth gains comfort in its surroundings, the gates open to thousands of visitors anxious to check out the Dolphantula show and get a peek at the majestic animals. However, not everyone is excited as a group of bible-thumping activists have devious plans in mind. As the day progresses, the day's extreme heat casts its toll on the visitors and forces the park's closure, leaving a small number of park staff to close the place down, unaware that the activists have remained behind to kill the Dolphantulas. All are oblivious of the new beast that lurks in the shadows, the SLOTHANTULA!

The Gap in the Curtain John Buchan is remembered for his spy thrillers like "The 39 Steps" but he also wrote tales of the supernatural. Whether The Gap in the Curtain is a supernatural tale, or science fiction, or horror, is difficult to say. A brilliant but possibly slightly unbalanced scientist discovers a means of lifting the curtain for a moment and gaining a glimpse of the future. This discovery allows six guests in his country house to see, for a brief instant of time, a page from a newspaper from one year in the future. The book then follows the life of each of the six people up to that date a year in the future, and examines the way they deal with the knowledge they have gained. The trick to it is that what they each see is an isolated fact, taken out of context. It can enlighten, but it can just as easily mislead. They know one thing that is going to happen, but they don't know how and why it will happen. The knowledge turns out to be surprisingly dangerous.

Set in a small town in the northernmost part of the Pioneer Valley area of western Massachusetts, Wilson Roberts' third novel, Incident on Tuckerman Court is a tale of love confounded by bizarre forms of betrayal and friendship. One morning at breakfast, University of Massachusetts professor Thomas Rutherford's physician wife, Jan Travis, changes the course of their lives by revealing a profound change of heart. Frightened and disoriented by this revelation, Rutherford walks outside to gather his wits and is attacked on the street in front of his home by two men who beat him mercilessly, leaving him blind in one eye. The ground of his marriage dropping away beneath him, Rutherford is forced to live in a suddenly two-dimensional world where everything he holds dear is vulnerable. His marriage, his daughter Miriam's safety, his job, the security of life in his small shire town and his grasp on reality are threatened when one of his attackers returns. The mysterious Joseph speaks of remorse for the attack and vows an undying friendship that drives Rutherford to the edge of desperation as he fends off Joseph's many poses and varying personalities. Readers will be amused by Roberts' picture of small town life in the midst of economic recession as they follow Thomas Rutherford's fear and confusion right up to the story's final words. Incident on Tuckerman Court gives a perverse twist to Flannery O'Connor's use of the grotesque in the service of faith. Wilson Roberts' previous novels published by Fantastic Books are, The Cold Dark Heart of the World, a supernatural thriller, and The Serpent and the Hummingbird, a story about the conflict between faith and reason set among Pentecostal serpent handlers in the Carolina Mountains. All three novels are available in hardcover and paperback and available from local and on-line booksellers.
