Torn from the embrace
of her poor but loving family, Rain Arnold now lives surrounded by
opulent riches but feels more like an outsider than ever before. Her
heart's true passion—the theatre—may prove to be her salvation, as she
embarks on a journey to unmask a legacy of long-buried family secrets.
Enrolled in one of England's most prestigious drama schools,
Rain is sent to London to live with her great-aunt, Lenora, of the
renowned Endfield family. Their estate is breathtakingly austere,
filled with antiques and a long, storied history. But something isn't
right. Rain hears footsteps at night, and the high-pitched laughter of a
little girl. She sees strange lights in rooms that are supposed to be
closed off. And everything about the place—the air, the silence, even
the somber household staff—is as cold and soulless as a museum. Behind
the icy sheen of wealth and privilege lies something unpseakable.
Something that could turn Rain's most precious dreams into an
inescapable nightmare... Views: 59

As storms hover in their wake, our intrepid trio (and one ape) make their way to a Godforsaken hole named Mud Creek, an East Texas town where the dark cloud of fate hovers and violence looms in the shadows... Written With a Razor:A long time ago, in this very galaxy, Joe R. Lansdale created a character named The God of the Razor. The God lives in another dimension, most of the time. Certain symbols, certain acts of bloodletting and violence, certain blades - one razor in particular - can open those doors. In this volume you will find a screenplay based on Joe R. Lansdale's novel NIGHTRUNNERS. The screenplay is written with Neal Barrett Jr., and though it was bought for Master of Terror - the series was canceled, and the movie was never filmed. Still - there is the screenplay - written in a style intended to play like a movie in your head.Along with that screenplay, you'll find three short stories with intros by the author, explaining bits and pieces of the evolution of The God of the Razor...you'll never look at a razor blade the same way again...
