Synopsis

This instant New York Times bestseller is a visceral Victorian gothic horror of a young autistic trans boy who can commune with spirits, forced into a haunted sanitorium.
Mors vincit omnia. Death conquers all.
London, 1883. The Veil between the living and dead has thinned. Violet-eyed mediums commune with spirits under the watchful eye of the Royal Speaker Society, and sixteen-year-old Silas Bell would rather rip out his violet eyes than become an obedient Speaker wife. According to Mother, he'll be married by the end of the year. It doesn't matter that he's needed a decade of tutors to hide his autism; that he practices surgery on slaughtered pigs; that he is a boy, not the girl the world insists on seeing.
After a failed attempt to escape an arranged marriage, Silas is diagnosed with Veil sickness—a mysterious disease sending violet-eyed women into madness—and shipped away to Braxton's Sanitorium and Finishing School. The facility is cold, the instructors merciless, and the students either bloom into eligible wives or disappear. So when the ghosts of missing students start begging Silas for help, he decides to reach into Braxton's innards and expose its rotten guts to the world—as long as the school doesn't break him first.

    The time is near.  
    The last thing Special Forces operator John Sunday expected to find, taped to the body of a dead terrorist, was a woman's portrait. 
    The last thing Kat Devier expected to find beneath the paint was a lost gospel, claiming the body of Jesus Christ to be in a cave in Jordan.  
    The clues lead to a cold, clay jar, sealed in mud, and kept hidden in darkness for thousands of years. But what’s inside?  
    And why does a man who cannot die walk the earth in search of it?  
    The Last Disciple is a terrifying hunt across the sands of time, for the hidden plans of gods and devils. Once revealed, John Sunday’s demons, and yours, will become real. And the great day of wrath shall come. For us all.  
    Sometimes darkness is better than light.

    The themes that thread through these nine accomplished stories are drawn from the great tradition of the twentieth-century weird tale, and they are suffused with a distinctly cosmopolitan, European feel. Mark Samuels writes about the fundamental fears of modern life, especially the effects of isolation and the dislocation that city dwellers can experience in their inhospitable, man-made environment.
    The Search for Kruptos: The man who writes these lines bears only an infinitesimal resemblance to the bespectacled student of the waking world who left Dublin æons ago clad in his father's three-piece suit.

    Not all monsters belong to the movies . . . 
     
    In the fall of 2008, John Carver's older brother, Owen, goes missing. He is found dead a few days later, his body torn apart by the local wildlife. Despite reports of strange noises heard at the time of Owen's disappearance, the police rule the tragedy as "a death by misadventure." 
     
    Fast forward to the summer of 2009. 
     
    To cope with his brother's passing, John dives into the art of filmmaking. Armed with a camcorder and his two closest friends, Ali and Becca, he begins work on a horror movie with the hopes of winning the local Harvest Festival Short Film Contest and a prize of a thousand dollars. The work proves difficult but rewarding. 
     
    Until, while gathering footage one night, the trio cross paths with something inhuman. 
     
    And a new question now burns in John's mind: Is this the creature responsible for his brother's death? He doesn't know for certain, but he won't stop until he finds out the truth. 
     
    Even if it kills him.

    Previously published as a Pinnacle Book under the pseudonym J. Knight. 
    Synopsis: The residents of a small town find that the secret to immortality is murder. 
    Welcome to Anderson. It's quiet here and that's how we like it. Except.... 
    Madge Duffy sliced her husband's throat last week. Thought she killed him, but then John walked out of the morgue none the worse for wear. The new preacher's calling it a "miracle," but I don't know. It isn't right. 
    I think there might be other people coming back, too. Like Deputy Haws, for one. He's got a bullet hole in his one good shirt and he won't talk about it. 
    You know Peg Culler down at the diner...the one with the little girl on life support? Well, she's talking about pulling the plug, and nobody ever thought she'd do that, not in a million years. She thinks it might be the only way to get her back. 
    Then there's that gang of kids that hangs around the reservoir...not one of them can look you in the eye without breaking into a cold sweat. They're keeping a secret, and it's got them all on edge. 
    Something's going on in this town of ours, something that makes your skin crawl and your teeth grind in the night. I don't know what it is, but I know this: 
    It scares me.

    Enforcer and drug dealer Fernando has seen better days. On his way home from work, some heavily-tattooed gangsters throw him in the back of a car and take him to an abandoned house, where they saw off his friend's head and feed the kid's fingers to...something. Their message is clear: this is their territory, now. But Fernando isn't put down that easily. Using the assistance of a Santeria priestess, an insane Puerto Rican pop sensation, a very human dog, and a Russian hitman, he'll build the courage (and firepower) he'll need to fight a gangbanger who's a bit more than human...
