    ★★★★★ "HIGH TENSION, INTENSE DRAMA, AND GREAT MILITARY ACTION!" 
    Delta Force operator Vann Jackson has brought something far deadlier than his guns back to the US embassy in Baghdad. He’s carrying a gruesome virus, and when he launches a savage attack in the embassy chow hall, it doesn’t take long before the infection spreads and things go to hell. 
    As the death toll climbs faster than a Baghdad thermometer, desperate diplomats beg Washington DC for help, but Secretary of State Amy Coffman has other plans for the embassy… 
    And they don’t include saving her fellow Americans. 
    Abandoned by their political masters and cut off from the outside world, the survivors must fight their way out of the fortified compound before the growing army of infected can get to them. 
    And before a ruthless cabal can implement their final, terrible solution.

    The eerie, disturbing story of one of our perennial fascinations—witchcraft in colonial America—wrapped up in a lyrical novel of psychological suspense. 
    "Once upon a time there was and there wasn't a woman who went to the woods." 
    In this horror story set in colonial New England, a law-abiding Puritan woman goes missing. Or perhaps she has fled or abandoned her family. Or perhaps she's been kidnapped, and set loose to wander in the dense woods of the north. Alone and possibly lost, she meets another woman in the forest. Then everything changes. 
    On a journey that will take her through dark woods full of almost-human wolves, through a deep well wet with the screams of men, and on a living ship made of human bones, our heroine may find that the evil she flees has been inside her all along. In the House in the Dark of the Woods is a novel of psychological horror and suspense told in Laird Hunt's characteristically lyrical prose style. It is the story of a bewitching, a betrayal, a master huntress and her quarry. It is a story of anger, of evil, of hatred and of redemption. It is the story of a haunting, a story that makes up the bedrock of American mythology, but told in a vivid way you will never forget.
