THE No1 ZOMBIE DETECTIVE AGENCY

Danny King

Synopsis

The world has been taken over by zombies. Small pockets of humanity remain. Cities lay in ruins. But none of this can stop Jake Trundle from solving the biggest case of his career because Jake Trundle is also a zombie. And somewhere deep within the recesses of his long dead brain flicker the embers of the last case he was working before the world turned to hell. And now he is compelled to solve it for all eternity, or at least until New Orleans falls down around his ears. He doesn't know why, he doesn't know how and he doesn't know much of anything when the smell of fresh meat is on the wind. But he's going to solve this case anyway. Even if it kills him all over again. Jake Trundle is a zombie. But he was a detective first. And nothing can take that away from him. Not even death.

The Demon from the Crypt

Karla Brandenburg

Mere weeks after tying up the haunting at Horned Owl Hollow, Elspeth Barclay receives a panicked call from her sister Laine, who is vacationing in Spain. Laine has seen a ghost whose appearance portends death. Hoping to avoid flying over an ocean, Elle downplays the danger, but when she hears the ghost shriek over the phone, rescuing her sister trumps her paralyzing fear of air travel. Elle invites the man she’s been dating to accompany her, as much for moral support as for psychic support.
In Sevilla, Laine’s boyfriend Gavin arranges a tour of the haunted crypt—the source of the ghostly screams—but this apparition is no ordinary ghost. According to local ghost hunters, it’s a demon desperate to escape the hallowed ground where it is entombed—a demon rumored to have killed a man in a recent possession and attempt at exorcism. Now, the demon has hijacked Gavin.
Disoriented in a foreign country, Elle searches out an exorcist, but the Spanish priest she approaches doesn't speak English. A mysterious stranger intervenes and advises her to rely on her espíritu amistoso—friendly spirit—instead. The one truth Elle knows is that calling on spirits can open the door to the wrong sort.
Can Elle banish the demon before it kills Gavin? She has to find him first.
In the second Elspeth Barclay novel, Elle has to rely on her paranormal gifts and battle with an aggressive spirit while learning to accept help from those around her, including friends who linger beyond the shadow of their own deaths.

Nancy Baker

A classic fairy tale gets a horrifying, adult twist, in this suspenseful romance by the author of The Night Inside. Twenty years ago, Simon Donovan, an antiquities scholar, wronged Sidonie Moreau, his former research assistant—and she has not forgotten.

Trapped by the vast wilderness all around them, Matthew has no choice but to submit to her terms. Although he vows to never surrender to Sidonie, Matthew cannot ignore her smile, her charm, or the sorrow in her eyes. Grappling with secrets within his heart, tempted by desire and despair, he knows one night he just might say yes . . .Praise for A Terrible Beauty “A polished and enchanting tale. . . . It is, in a word, breathtaking.” —Ottawa Citizen “Baker’s prose is lush and sensual . . . she has a real gift for making the fantastic seem plausible and investing the mundane with eerie significance.” —Sunday Sun (Toronto) “A Terrible Beauty is modern Canadian Gothic. . . . Nancy Baker shows her mastery of the form—the mysterious letter, the journey into the wilderness, the shadows that hide from the flickering firelight—and her real affection for a good ol’ fashioned vampire yarn.” —Telegraph-Journal “Baker’s narrative is seductive and compelling. Like Rice, she transcends the horror genre.” —The Province “Don’t hold your breath waiting for Disney to film this very adult and erotic version of Beauty and the Beast.” —Winnipeg Free Press
