Now, Raeshaldis, Summer Concubine, and Pomegranate Woman, three uneducated and unskilled women, must band together and use their new powers to save both their country and themselves. Views: 58

Review This is a marvelous Halloween story that makes the adventures in Haddonfield pale in comparison. Put it on the shelf next to SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES and 'SALEMS LOT, but be sure to read it twice you don't want to miss anything. Cudos to Moore and Cemetery Dance for this years best Halloween read. --Barry Hunter Product Description You reap what you sow in Beldam Woods.Once upon a time there was a town called Beldam Woods, where all of the people lived happy, carefree lives and no one wanted for anything. All of the children at the schools studied hard and learned their lessons. All of the adults were true to their spouses and everyone was content.At least that's what the travel brochures say.They don't tell you about the puddle of blood found inside the local veterinary clinic, or about the old librarian found torn to pieces inside his house. They don't mention the troubles the police are having with their investigations into local crimes, or about the petty jealousies that have grown between the students attending the local public school and the kids going to the upper crust private academy.Those brochures fail to mention the odd vegetation growing in the woods not far from the town, or the reasons that everything in the Witch's Hollow is poisonous to eat or even to touch.None of the literature written about Beldam Woods talks of human sacrifices or the desecration of new graves; there's not a word written down about the monsters that allegedly lived there in the past, or what the townsfolk did to them.And most importantly, there's no mention of what happens when the monsters come back to put paid to some old debts...

The Green Mile tells the story of two men, a prison guard and his new death row inmate, and their suddenly intertwined lives. What would it be like to walk those last 40 yards to the electric chair, knowing you were going to die there? What would it be like to be the man who had to strap the condemned man in or pull the switch? What would such a job take out of you, or even add?
The Mouse on the Mile: Cold Mountain Penitentiary has been home to many troubled souls. E Block, where the electric chair waits for those who must pay the ultimate price, has been home to the most troubled of all. And here, not all the evil is behind bars. Sometimes it carries a gun and wears a badge. Views: 57
THEY BEGAN AS
STRANGERS -- FOUR TEENAGE GIRLS WITH NOTHING IN COMMON BUT THEIR
MISERABLE CHILDHOODS. SOON, THEY WOULD REALIZE THAT THEIR SECRET PASTS
HAD BOUND THEM TOGETHER FOREVER.... Misty, Star, Jade, and Cat
first came together in Dr. Marlowe's group therapy sessions. They
trusted no one but each other -- and even that bond was fragile at best.
One by one, each of the Wildflowers told her own story and bravely
unveiled the inner wounds inflicted by years of lies, deceit, and untold
family secrets; each revealed the shocking tales of how their parents
hurt them, used them, or simply abandoned them. And as they shared their
darkest feelings, they no longer felt like lost souls with nowhere to
turn. Finally, years of loneliness and pain gave way to the realization
that someone else in this world understood them. But then the
sessions ended, and the girls didn't know if they would ever see each
other again. Now they are coming together one more time. Jade
has sent out invitations to her parents' mansion -- the sprawling,
opulent home that served as a battleground for much of her young life.
There, the four will rekindle their bonds of friendship and trust. But
this time, away from Dr. Marlowe's watchful eye, it will be different.
Today, in the mansion's attic, Star, Jade, Cat, and Misty will take each
other's hands and swear to tell the real truth -- the
shattering secrets that lie deep within them like smoldering coals. And
once the darkest secret of all is spoken aloud, there will be no turning
back. For there may be some things the Wildflowers should leave buried
forever.... Views: 57
Just when you thought you’d accepted your own mortality… Everything Is Going to Kill Everybody is bringing panic back. Twenty illustrated, hilariously fear-inducing essays reveal the chilling and very real experiments, dangerous emerging technologies, and terrifying natural disasters that soon could— or very nearly already did —bring about the end of humanity. In short, everything in here will kill you and everyone you love. At any moment. And nobody’s told you about it— until now: • Experiments in green energy like the HiPER, which uses massive lasers to create a tiny “contained” sun; it’s an idea that could save the world if it doesn’t consume us all in a fiery fusion reaction first. • Global disasters like the hypercane—a hurricane so large it could cover all of North America and shoot trailer parks into space! • Terrifying new developments in robotics like the EATR, which powers itself on meat—an invention in the running for “Worst Decision Made by Anybody.” Views: 57
