Carl Kolchak, whether he wants the mantle or not, is the world's
premier supernatural investigator. Vampires, werewolves, witches,
demons, he has seen it all. Or ... has he? Can even all the horrors
he has stumbled across prepare him for the monstrous denizens of
the Lovecraft Mythos, let alone its most damned volume, the
Necronomicon?
In Volume VI of C.J. Henderson's compelling Cabin Series, readers
will discover what happens to Patty, Tuesday, Annabelle and Aunt
Aggie as they struggle in the shadow of the menacing Jacob
McCallister. With plenty of gripping plot twists and turns, the
final installment provides a satisfying conclusion to this
harrowing tale of his greed, rage, and cruelty in the surrounding
remote area of Winding Ridge.
From C. J. Henderson, author of two previous books in the Cabin
series--a new novel set in the hills of West Virginia, a story
about men and women and the secrets they keep . . . (DAISY AND
AGGIE) started up the mountain, each carrying a bag with Aggie's
meager possessions, although these days she had more clothing than
she'd ever had. Joe was more thoughtful of the women's needs than
Jacob had ever been. Under Jacob's care she'd posesssed only a few
feedsack dresses. Now she had a few storebought ones and shoes that
fit properly, and Joe had bought her a hairbrush, hand mirror, and
comb. The mirror was the only one the women had ever seen except
for the old one Daisy had allways cherished. It was so old and
faded it gave a distorted view, revealing only a hazy image. They
opened the door--it had no lock on it when Booker had rentd it and
it had none now. Daisy gasped. "Look at this." The cabin was
spotlessly clean, and it looked more like a room pictured in a
magazine than Aggie's cabin. "I've done died an' gone to heaven, so
I have," Aggie said with her hand over her heart. "Tell me I'm not
dreamin'." Daisy walked around the one-room cabin and touched
everything, while Aggie stood and stared. The Bookers were
apparently gone for good, as thier personal items were gone. Even
though they had left the generator running, the best thing was they
had left the lovely furniture behind--maybe because they had
discarded the old homemade furniture Aggie had used all her life.
Professor Piers Knight is the Brooklyn Museum's very own Indiana
Jones. His specialties include lost civilizations, arcane cultures,
and more than a little bit of the history of magic and mysticism.
What his contemporaries don't know is that in addition to being a
scholar of all these topics, he is also proficient in the uses of
magical artifacts.
Knight receives a chilling message from Tian Lu, a former lover
and an agent for the Chinese government. Years ago, they made a
frightening discovery at an archeological dig when out of the
depths rose... a living, fire-breathing dragon. Now, the dragons
are waking from their slumber before their scheduled time. And one
particularly diabolical dragon is set on eliminating the others and
taking over the world.
As civilization plunges into panic, Knight, Lu, Knight's
seventeen-year-old techie intern George Rainert, and an
untrustworthy dragon ally must use all their resources-- magical
and otherwise--to stop the destruction before it's too late.

After being brought up in poverty on the mountains above Winding
Ridge, Patty is living an unaccustomed life of comfort and
prosperity in Tuesday's suburban home, but she cannot completely
relax, aware as she is of the looming menace of Jacob McCallister.
Her haunting dreams foretell the fulfillment of his threat to hold
Tuesday and her once again under his total control. The echo of his
warning hangs over their everyday lives. The stress of living under
the cloud of being taken back to the remote mountain cabin gives
fodder to Patty's dreams, and her night screams keep Tuesday in
constant dread. Patty's enjoyment of her time with Tuesday is short
lived. On a quiet night, McCallister steals into their home and
brings life as they know it to an end. Knowing that Detective Cliff
Moran could lead the authorities straight to his mountain home,
McCallister enlists Aunt Aggie as an accomplice and takes his
little, unwilling family to a place called Broad Run, where Patty
will meet her destiny. Neither Moran nor the authorities would
associate Broad Run with McCallister, who keeps his women and
children in a remote cabin nestled above the small town of Winding
Ridge, while he has been spending most of his time living
comfortably in a modern home, indulging himself with the large sums
of money he has gleaned from the diabolical use of his family. As
the story unfolds, Patty and Tuesday are reunited with Annabelle,
Rose, Daisy, Joe, Sara, and Aunt Aggie-the much -loved characters
who continue to keep the readers of The Cabin Series clamoring for
the next exciting installment.

PATTY COULDN'T TELL WHETHER THERE WERE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE house
or not, but it was definitely the house she was looking for and
obviously still under construction. The newness and grandeur of the
house itself seemed odd, as it had been restored over an old stone
foundation and built on grounds that had been neglected for years.
Ornate gothic gates, attached to a seven-foot, ancient wrought-iron
fence surrounding the property, stood one at each end of a brick
driveway with weeds that, sprouting along the entire expanse, made
it evident that the fence and gates had been put up in the distant
past and were rarely used now. The driveway met Route Seven at the
beginning and at the end, forming a horseshoe. Each of the gates,
wide enough to accommodate a car, was securely locked, but there
was a third one, a narrow opening to an overgrown footpath near one
end of the driveway, and it was invitingly ajar. Patty pulled to
the side of the road and climbed from the car. As she stood there
wondering what to do next, she realized that the scene around her
was hauntingly familiar. The hair stood up on the back of her neck
as she surveyed the abandoned road, aware that the wind was
whipping up, causing dead leaves to swirl around her feet in little
funnel clouds. Her breath caught in her throat. She was standing in
her own nightmare.
Already in its third printing, this popular novel tells the story
of people from two different cultures--mountain and city--drawn
together in a fight against the evil that stalks them all. Tuesday
and Annabelle live in the same state but in two different worlds.
Tuesday, educated and independent, lives in the city; Annabelle
knows only the harsh life of the mountain cabin, where she lives
with her husband and two other women he has taken as wives. Tuesday
never knew that life could change so drastically in just a short
time. When her car breaks down in sub-zero weather, she is faced
with the choice between freezing or accepting help from a stranger.
She chooses to trust the stranger named Jacob. Attracted to his
good looks and quiet ways, Tuesday agrees when he asks to see her
again. She tries to get to know Jacob and is both intrigued and put
off by his secretiveness. Her friend, Cora, is uneasy about Jacob
and asks Tuesday to be careful. Meanwhile, Cora continues an
ongoing search for her daughter, who was kidnapped two years
earlier. As this fascinating story unfolds, the lives of Tuesday
and Annabelle become shockingly entwined, and the horrific
activities of a baby-selling ring are exposed. Set in the beautiful
but treacherous mountains of West Virginia, The Cabin stories
reveal the best and worst of human nature.
