  A talisman of darkness, an emblem of death.
  Warwickshire, 1891. Recently orphaned and left destitute, Briar Monroe accepts the protection of Lord Danville and the shadowed sanctuary of Thornby Manor. The great house looms above a mist-shrouded lake, its corridors heavy with secrets – not least the mysterious death of Lady Elizabeth Danville, and the unspoken tensions between her formidable widower and his magnetic son, Gabriel.
  As Briar navigates the undercurrents of a household ruled by watchful servants and locked doors, she is drawn ever deeper into a web of suspicion, desire and fear. Whispers in the night, figures at windows, and a constant sense of being watched leave her questioning not only the truth about Thornby, but her own safety within its walls.
  Atmospheric, intoxicating and laced with peril, Thornby Manor is a gothic tale of betrayal, obsession and a house that never forgets.

  Spencer Charnas is dead. That's the bold claim detailed by Roy Merkin in Welcome to Horrorwood, written in the maverick journalist's courageous and virile prose. This is a forbidden chronicle ripped from the controversial manuscript of District Attorney Marcie Kent, the very woman who put Spencer Charnas on trial and then put him in the ground. The people and organizations who want the world to believe that the person, thing, or artificial intelligence masquerading as Spencer at concerts, conventions, and correctional facilities around the globe is the real deal have fought mercilessly to keep this book from publication. Welcome to Horrorwood unpacks the trial of the century with a first-person view as Merkin's razor-sharp annotations guide readers through Kent's obsessive psyche to reveal deep layers of conspiracy, collusion, and cavalier con jobs. Welcome to Horrorwood is the book they don't want you to read. Coverage you can count on, from the Merkin you can trust.
