HORROR LOVERS TREAT! Far too frequently, compilations of classic horror stories reprint the same two dozen or so standards, until readers begin to believe no others were ever written. By now most horror readers are only too familiar with "The Upper Berth," "Mrs. Amsworth," "Markheim," "The Middle Toe of the Right Foot," "The Open Door," "The Mark of the Beast," and "Casting the Runes." The Horrors! series of classic reprints aims to correct this imbalance by searching out great masterpieces of terror that are harder to find and less frequently anthologized. In this volume you will discover such little-seen gems as Perceval London's "Thurnley Abbey," E. F. Benson's "The Confession of Charles Linkworth," Erickmann-Chatrain's "The Invisible Eye," Edith Nesbit's "Man-size in Marble," Hume Nisbet's "The Haunted Station," and John Metcalfe's "The Smoking Leg." How many have you read before? Views: 29

A novel about hope, redemption, and getting even, not necessarily in that orderJust out of prison for attacking the man who assaulted his sister, Ray Dokes heads back to the small Canadian town where he was raised. Vowing to lie low, he moves in with Pete Culpepper, a Texas cowboy who has always been a grounding influence on Ray, but whose debts are growing faster than his corn. Between roofing houses and watching Pete's nine-year-old gelding at the races, Ray soon crosses paths with just about everyone in town, including Pete's new jockey, Chrissie, a tough young woman whose ease with horses is equaled only by her mistrust of people, and Ray's former lover Etta, who views him with more skepticism than ever. Then there are the hired hands of the Stanton Stables: Dean, a wise guy who embodies the phrase "all hat and no cattle," and his sidekick, Paulie, a simple-hearted man who has a way with animals. And last but not least, there's Sonny Stanton, the vicious,... Views: 29
Several patients die each day at St. Paul 's Hospital, a sprawling complex in Buffalo, N.Y., that takes on the most high-risk cases, including victims of the SARS virus. A few more deaths a week would hardly even be noticed. But hospital vice-president Dr. Earl Garnet, star of Clement's enjoyable line of medical thrillers, perks up when he hears about a strange circumstance in the hospital's cancer wing: a few days before they died, many of the patients reported out-of-body near-death experiences. Someone, Garnet determines, has been taking cancer patients to the brink of death and tape-recording their observations before briefly bringing them back to life. Suspects include the hospital's chaplain, Jimmy Fitzpatrick, who has been lobbying for years to get St. Paul's to relax its policy on withholding pain medication to terminal patients; Monica Yablonsky, the head nurse on the cancer ward whose prickly, unhelpful demeanor makes Garnet wary; and Dr. Steward Deloram, St. Paul's critical care expert who has also done extensive research into near-death experiences. The action in Clement's sixth hospital-based thriller (Mortal Remains, etc.) moves briskly and without an overload of medical jargon. Despite several indistinguishable characters and a few dead-end plot lines-Clement does little with the SARS element after an initial buildup-this entry keeps the author on an ascending trajectory in the genre.

There’s a new “Man in the Moon”—and the corporations exploiting Mother Earth are in for an ugly surprise. Phil Hunter has just discovered the invention of the age—working antigravity—when he’s laid off from his job, the entire department shut down. Phil decides this is what he’s been waiting for—a chance to become fabulously wealthy with his own company, Anti-Gravity Unlimited. With anti-gravity, not only is space flight a cheap possibility, perpetual motion is also possible. With a couple of anti-gravity rods, it’s easy to hook up a generator and create unlimited electrical current. All of mankind’s environmental problems are solved—as are any issues with poverty. Phil sees a new utopia—until his house is blown up and all of his former co-workers are listed as killed in the paper. On the run, Phil heads for his best friend’s house, only to discover that his best friend has abandoned his long-time girlfriend (and clone)—where a hitman disguised as a bag lady tries to gun both of them down. Together, Phil and Nikki try to figure out how to stay alive for long enough to mass produce enough anti-gravity rods to allow him to start his business. Still, where on earth can they hide if the entire world corporate government is after them? Author Duncan Long creates an intriguing dystopic future where corporations have taken over the government and are gradually replacing workers with robots, forcing the masses into poverty. Views: 29
