Sinopse

A pair of chilling horror novels from the international bestselling author who “writes much better than King or Straub” (The Village Voice).   Writing as Campbell Black, international bestselling author Campbell Armstrong proves he’s as adept at evoking horror as he is at plotting heart-stopping thrillers.  The Wanting: When Max and Louise Untermeyer rent a house in a California vacation town, they figure it will be a perfect escape from the city, especially for their twelve-year-old son, Denny. Their neighbors, Dick and Charlotte Summer, are a nice elderly couple who dote on Denny with sweets and gifts. But as the days go by, Louise begins to notice a disturbing change in her son. His innocence seems to be draining away, replaced by something unhealthy, even perverse. As Louise tries to reach her son, she’s about to discover this town holds a terrible secret . . .   “A superb storyteller, obviously every bit as talented as Stephen King.” —Times Record News  Letters from the Dead: A battered Ouija board promises entertainment for the renters of a broken-down beach house on the Virginia shore. But when they play, thirteen-year-olds Lindy and Tommy receive sinister messages—and their mothers encounter even more disturbing visions in the tiny, gloomy town nearby. Something evil happened here long ago, and one of the vacationers is about to be drawn into the grip of possession by a frightening force that may prevent them all from ever returning home . . .   “A satisfying dank and creepy chiller, about a haunting and possession . . . in and around an isolated beach house.” —Kirkus Reviews

    The legacy of Edgar Allan Poe continues through his ongoing popularity as a writer. ‘Hop-Frog’, like many of his best stories, carries the force of parable. It is a curious mixture of revenge, horror, and spectacle, It's all about a king’s jester- a dwarf-  who exacts spectacular brutal vengeance on the cruel monarch. The story was first published in March 1849. It’s a  tale about the “little man” triumphing over his evil oppressors and earning his freedom in a literal blaze of glory. ‘Hop-Frog’ can be analyzed as a story about tyranny, slavery, and revolution.  It’s not Poe’s most famous or best-loved story, but it’s an enjoyable tale. Listen to the sample performance reading by  Oscar nominee and Emmy Award winning Special Effects Makeup Artist Edward E. French .
