  Ever since man first began to tell stories - often crouched around a campfire late at night - storytellers have tried to send a chill up the spine of their listeners; to delight, thrill and even terrify their audience with stories of ghosts, ghouls and things that go bump in the night. To this day, some of the most popular stories ever written were created to give readers a sense of dread, excitement and wonder at the unknown.   
  Collected here are four of the world's best-known and beloved tales of horror, suspense and terror: H.G. Wells' "The Island of Doctor Moreau," Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu," and Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart."   
  We begin on a lonely island where a shipwrecked young seaman discovers that the doctor in charge of this strange land has been performing unspeakable experiments on the jungle animals...transforming them into something almost human. Almost. H.G. Wells' tale of a mad doctor run amok begins this journey of horror and intrigue.   
  Next we move to London, where we find the kindly Dr. Jekyll - a brilliant man of science - who has been experimenting with a mood-altering drug that causes him to transform into a murderous brute. Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of tapping into our dark, inner selves has become a favorite of the genre.   
  Then, a truly bizarre story of an underwater leviathan; a massive, mythical beast whose ascension from the depths could mean the end of life as we know it. The one-and-only H.P. Lovecraft brings us the twisted tale of Cthulhu, terror of the ancient world.   
  And finally, we find ourselves in the world of Edgar Allan Poe, the Master of Horror, as he spins the tale of a late night murder, an ingenious cover-up of the crime...and an unexpected and horrifying revelation!   
  Collected together for the first time, here are four stories of murder, mayhem and malevolence, all presented in their original format.

  When no one is left to save you, save yourself or die trying.
   
  
   
  The one constant in Jules’ life is family—the plentiful Martin clan. Domestic terrorism brought the Martins together under one roof to endure food scarcity, punishing Gulf Coast heat, no electricity, and no indoor plumbing.
   
  
   
  One outhouse for twelve people is no way to live, but at least they are safe. For now.
   
  
   
  With every setback and stolen dignity, Jules questions whether she wants to survive at all. She keeps the family fed, hunting and fishing along the shores of Mobile Bay while avoiding both US Army patrols and The Knights, a homegrown militia group determined to convert all of Bellefontaine to their radical ideology and rid the seaside community of anyone who stands in their way.
   
  
   
  When two members of The Knights set their sights on Jules, violence lands on the Martins’ doorstep, threatening everyone connected to the family.
   
  
   
  The one bright spot Jules finds is in a chance meeting with an 11-year-old looter who gives her a new sense of purpose and a reason to survive. She sees herself in the rebel-boy—independent, foolishly fearless, and capable of making costly mistakes.
   
  
   
  Will she be able to protect the boy from rising violence? Or will they both become victims?
   
  
   
  Deliciously Southern and with a break-neck pace, Splintered Reeds is a timely domestic terrorism thriller that explores the fallout of a divided nation, the strength of family, and the journey through the complexities of grief, and the fight for autonomy in a world turned upside down.

  The New York Times bestselling author returns with a mystery with a touch of magical realism and a strong, female bookstore owner and bibliotherapist at its heart. 
   
    
   
  Miracle Springs, North Carolina, is famed for its healing springs. But bookstore owner Nora Pennington has a tendency to land in a different kind of hot water. Though she loves to practice bibliotherapy by finding the perfect books for her customers while listening to their secrets, she also likes to bury her nose in the occasional local crime . . . 
   
   
   
  Nora escaped her past a decade ago. So it feels like a visit from another world when Kelly Walsh—the woman her ex-husband left her for—walks through the door of Miracle Books along with her son, a sweet, serious boy with a talent for origami. Kelly hasn't come to gloat, though. As it turns out, she's been dumped too. She's also terribly ill, and all she wants from Nora is forgiveness. 
   
   
    
  Shockingly, however, this woman who's been the victim of so much misfortune is about to become a murder victim. Who would do such a thing? Certainly not Nora, but that doesn't stop the gossip and suspicion—especially after Kelly's brother claims that he saw the two women arguing. 
   
   
    
  In seeking justice for Kelly, The Secret, Book, and Scone Society joins forces with the sheriff's department, but they've barely begun their probe when life throws another wrench. After serving a twenty-year sentence, Estella's father returns to Miracle Springs. And when his past comes back to haunt him, it might be more than the four friends can handle.
