Doug Lamoreux

Sinopsis

A collection of four horror novels by Doug Lamoreux, now in one volume!

Saucy Jacky: Come into the East End of London, England, in the year 1888. Walk through the streets of Whitechapel and slums of Spitalfields, side by side with history's most notorious serial killer. Overhear his plans, and listen - or try not to - to his secret thoughts as he waits in the shadows. Keep pace, if you have the nerve, as he stalks his victims. Watch, if you have the stomach, as he commits his outrages. Run with him, if you're still upright, as he escapes the swarming forces of police desperate for his hide and head. These are the Whitechapel murders, as told by Jack the Ripper himself.

The Devil's Bed: While touring a ruined castle in France, Brandy Petracus is led to the unhallowed graveyard of Templar knights executed for practicing black magic. Long forgotten by the world, this ancient cemetery is known to the locals as the Devil's Bed, and its occupants do not rest in peace. Brandy soon finds herself the leader of an eclectic group besieged by resurrected Templar knights - craving their blood. Vampirism, madness, dark humor and flashbacks to 14th century Paris tell Brandy's story of commitment, trust and sacrifice, as she is forced to hole up in an ancient chapel with her friends and fight for survival. Even then, the Devil's Bed has yet to surrender all of its secrets.

The Melting Dead: Everything they grab catches fire. Everyone they touch dies. Everything they kill comes back from the dead. A secluded Mississippi River island is the perfect vacation getaway... until the space rocks land. An innocent family is killed by searing radiation. That same cosmic force returns Dad, sis, and the two boys from the grave. But they're deteriorating quickly; melting away. Only flesh and blood can save them. Oh, look. Here come the tourists! It's a B-movie between book covers; a roller-coaster ride of terror to burst your heart with fear and make your sides ache with laughter.

"...one of the best zombie stories I have read..." - Peter Schwotzer, Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine-

When The Tik-Tik Sings: In a sleepy historical Iowa town, the strangest serial killer the world has ever known is roaming at will. It begins with a mysterious house explosion, a severely burned man, and an unidentified female body. More victims follow, each killed under the oddest circumstances, each bearing an identical but unidentified wound, each attack accompanied by the most eerie, musical ticking. When the lead homicide investigator goes missing, Police Sergeant Erin Vanderjagt is forced into the fray and into a personal hell she could have never imagined. But what can Erin do, where can she go, how can she fight the horror... When The Tik-Tik Sings?

Colony (Unabridged)

Mark Samuel

The themes that thread through these nine accomplished stories are drawn from the great tradition of the twentieth-century weird tale, and they are suffused with a distinctly cosmopolitan, European feel. Mark Samuels writes about the fundamental fears of modern life, especially the effects of isolation and the dislocation that city dwellers can experience in their inhospitable, man-made environment.
Colony: There was also a telephone number. I made an appointment with
the gravel-voiced Mangan to view the flat the same evening. I had
been looking for somewhere new for months...
