  The Great God Pan

  Horror master Stephen King has called Arthur Machen's Gothic horror story The Great God Pan "one of the best horror stories ever written. Maybe the best in the English language." Its influence extends from Bram Stoker's Dracula to H.P. Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror to Guillermo Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth. Fans of Stuart Gordon's From Beyond will be able to spot the story's vile fingerprints on that cult classic, and classicists of another sort will recognize a twisted version of Cupid and Psyche from The Golden Ass. It tells the story of Helen Vaughan — or rather, of the men whose lives she touches, in various (but always significant) ways. But more than that, it tells the story of what happens when man delves beyond his depth, heedless of what he may find in the shadowy deep. It shows how fragile are his edifices of civilization and morality when tested by forces beyond his comprehension. And it investigates these lofty matters in the most mundane way imaginable: through good old-fashioned detective work, undertaken by those alert enough to pay attention to the news of the day and do a little digging in the world's more unsavory corners. By turns suspenseful, horrifying, tragic, and moving, it is a compact classic of the form.

  So when the strange old house on the other side of town goes on sale, she’s the first one to snatch it up. Complete with ghosts in the walls, a murderous history, and a basement filled with impossible things, like a jar of human fingers . . . and its very own demon. 
   
  Deegie’s going to need all her magical skills and inspired spell-casting—and some help from her slightly mad friends—to satisfy the ghosts and send the demon back where it belongs.

  Darkmans - A Novel

  “Hilarious and erudite, spooky and unconventional, Darkmans is a dazzling achievement.” — Washington PostShortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, Darkmans is an exhilarating, extraordinary examination of the ways in which history can play jokes on us all... If History is just a sick joke which keeps on repeating itself, then who exactly might be telling it, and why? Could it be John Scogin, Edward IV's infamous court jester, whose favorite pastime was to burn people alive—for a laugh? Or could it be Andrew Boarde, Henry VIII's physician, who kindly wrote John Scogin's biography? Or could it be a tiny Kurd called Gaffar whose days are blighted by an unspeakable terror of–uh–salad? Or a beautiful, bulimic harpy with ridiculously weak bones? Or a man who guards Beckley Woods with a Samurai sword and a pregnant terrier?Darkmans is a very modern book, set in Ashford [a ridiculously modern town], about two very old-fashioned subjects: love and jealousy. It's also a book about invasion, obsession, displacement and possession, about comedy, art, prescription drugs and chiropody. And the main character? The past, which creeps up on the present and whispers something quite dark—quite unspeakable—into its ear.The third of Nicola Barker's narratives of the Thames Gateway, Darkmans is an epic novel of startling originality.

  Charlene's parents are in town for Christmas, and her mother is driving her up a tree. Her bed-and-breakfast's resident ghost, Jack, isn't fond of her either—and he's showing it with some haunting high jinks.

And they're only a few on the long list of potential suspects when David runs into the road and is mowed down by a fleeing motorist. Now it looks like it's going to be homicide for the holidays . . .
