From the author of You Must Not Miss comes a haunting contemporary
horror novel that explores themes of mental illness, rage, and
grief, twisted with spine-chilling elements of Stephen King and
Agatha Christie, now as a paperback. Following her father's death,
Jane North-Robinson and her mom move from sunny California to the
dreary, dilapidated old house in Maine where her mother grew up.
All they want is a fresh start, but behind North Manor's doors
lurks a history that leaves them feeling more alone...and more
tormented. As the cold New England autumn arrives, and Jane settles
in to her new home, she finds solace in old books and memories of
her dad. She steadily begins making new friends, but also faces
bullying from the resident "bad seed," struggling to tamp down her
own worst nature in response. Jane's mom also seems to be spiraling
with the return of her childhood home, but she won't reveal why.
Then Jane discovers that the "storage room" her mom has kept locked
isn't for storage at all--it's a little girl's bedroom, left
untouched for years and not quite as empty of inhabitants as it
appears.... Is it grief? Mental illness? Or something
more...horrid?
In the third instalment in the creepy, captivating Larten Crepsley
series, Larten finds out what it means to love... but is he also
damned to find out what it means to lose? Lost in the arctic waste,
carrying a baby whose love he could never deserve, Larten faces the
darkest time he has ever known. But hope has a way of shining
through even the smallest of cracks, and just as Larten reaches the
end, a new beginning presents itself. The trouble is, for Larten,
the violence of his youth is never far from the surface... and
those he loves are the ones he hurts the most. As Larten
experiences heaven and hell, and tries to save the soul of a child,
the question is: can he save his own?
What happens when a horror movie becomes reality? Karen M. McManus
meets Scream in this spine-tingling YA horror thriller that cleverly
explores themes of race and class.
Devon Harris doesn't have much planned for the summer - until her
sister, Drew, invites Devon to a very exclusive private school party.
Out of her element, Devon commits to being game at everything. Even
when the private school kids ask her if there are fights at her school.
Even when they ask her if her box braids are her real hair. Even when
those weird ass kids pull out a Ouija board.
But this seemingly harmless bit of fun has terrible consequences.
Something has been released, and only a week later it's hunting Devon,
Drew and their friends. Hunting them in an eerily familiar way . . .
The real-life horror movie has begun. The blonde is up first, then the
asshole - right up to the Final Girl. Unless the murderous cycle can be
broken, they're all going to be next.

masterminded some of their best work. But when he sets his sights
on one of the most hated teachers at their school, the group
finally goes too far...and the consequences are deadly. And on Fear
Street, even death can't stop people from getting their revenge.
