That notorious evening at Villa Diodati when Lord Byron challenged
his contemporaries to write a ghost story, his summons brought
forth a mad doctor intent on reanimation and a vampire drunk with
bloodlust. The night modern horror was born was notoriously dark
and stormy, as were the lives of those who wrote the most
fearsome--yet beloved--tales in literature, for those so gifted
were also cursed. Horrors, a graphic novel, reveals in gruesome
detail how Mary Wollstonecraft, Bram Stoker, Edgar Allan Poe and
other masters of the genre were haunted by their monstrous
creations.

Tom and Huck have reincarnated as twin white cats, and they're now
familiars for a modern-day witch-and, of course, they want to be
boys again This whimsical novel by Lisa Mannetti captures the
flavor of Twain's writing, yet brings Tom and Huck to life in a
contemporary framework that is utterly delightful "Huck always said
it was a powerful lot of trouble to write a book, and if he'd a
known it ahead of time, he wouldn't have gone through with it.
That's his version of the truth, anyhow. And it's a lot more work
than anyone bargains for when they sit down to write-but you add
writin along with me and Huck comin back as twin brothers and the
feline familiars of a twenty-first century witch-and you got even
more trouble. A whole cauldron-full more. Anyhow, this time I guess
it's me that has got to tell our story." The Introduction was
written by NY Times best-selling author Jonathan Maberry. The cover
illustration is by popular artist Glenn Chadbourne, with cover
design by Amy York. THIS IS THE ADULT EDITION. A Young Adult (YA)
edition has also been written that is more suitable for a younger
audience. "With charming Twain-like wit and style, Lisa Mannetti
brings to life an engaging tale that will capture readers'
imaginations and take them on the magical ride of their lives. Who
wouldn't love feline familiars such as Huck and Tom? I can't
recommend this book enough " -Elizabeth Massie, Bram Stoker-winning
author of Sineater, Playback, and Homegrown "Lisa doesn't merely
throw some witches and werewolves into some of Twain's old lore.
She crafts her own story by absconding with two literary icons and
dropping them quite unceremoniously in her world. And the way she
does it is both mischievous and charming." -Gef Fox, reviewer for
Wag the Fox "Mannetti weaves a beautiful, heartwarming, and
humorous fantasy with the delectable Tom and Huck, but resurrects
them with the love and care only a true fan and scholar of Twain
could." -Meli Hooker, reviewer for Dreadful Tales
A horror novel set in York, Maine, GHOST TRAP is the story of
renovations of an old sea captain's house turned eerily frightful,
when the fireplace is unsealed, releasing spirits of past owners.
Bizarre artifacts are discovered in its age-old walls, revealing a
chilly history of piracy and murder. The only way to end the
madness is to trap the spirits back into the shaft where they have
been held captive for years. But how do you trap ghosts? Especially
ones so evil?
