Summary

With an Introduction by David Stuart Davies.
 
 
‘The worst parts were the great masses of flesh of the monstrous Worm, in all its red and sickening aspect… The sight was horrible enough, but, with the awful smell added, was simply unbearable. The Worm's hole appeared to breathe forth death in its most repulsive forms.’
 
 
Here are two great, neglected horror novels by Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, together in one volume for the first time. It is a double treat for lovers of blood-curdling fantasy fiction.
 
 
The Lady of the Shroud, published here in its full and unabridged form, is a fascinating and engrossing concoction of a vampire tale, Ruritanian adventure story and science fiction romance. The novel fully demonstrates the breadth and ingenuity of Stoker's imagination.
 
 
The spine-chilling The Lair of the White Worm features a monstrous worm secreted for thousands of years in a bottomless well and able to metamorphose into a seductive woman of a reptilian beauty who survives on her victim's life blood. The novel contains some of Stoker's most graphic and grisly moments of horror.
Available since: 05/01/2012.

    A U.S. soldier in Iraq faces unimaginable horrors when the war-torn country is overrun by zombies in this apocalyptic military thriller. 
 
When Cale was sent to Iraq, he had the typical feelings of any soldier going to war: missing his family, unease about taking a human life, and the fear of never returning home. But of all the concerns that crossed Cale’s mind, he never thought he’d face a zombie apocalypse.  
 
After a massive zombie attack on their base, Cale and a few other soldiers desert their posts and begin the long journey home through the harsh terrain of the desert; a barren landscape swarming with not only undead cannibals, but also the enemy they were sent to fight. 
 
Inspired by the author’s own experiences as a U.S. Army Soldier in Iraq, Blood on the Sand delves into the idea of not just surviving a zombie apocalypse but making the seemingly impossible trek home.
