Beschreibung

From the author who brought us the distinguished spy thriller Death of a Marionette and The Towering Inferno, one of the most popular films of the '70s, comes Waiting, an intense novel of contemporary menace, in the mode of Robinson's 1950s classic, The Power. There are people living among us, who look just like normal human beings. They've been here for a long time--waiting. But they aren't exactly like us at all. Some of them can read minds, and in subtle ways take over what your are thinking, control you for a while.They can make you love. They can make you die.One ordinary man in San Francisco, Arthur Banks, begins to find them out, and immediately his life and his family are in danger. It's a paranoid's worst nightmare. But that's just where it starts. He may well be fighting for the survival of the entire human race."I've always maintained that Frank M. Robinson's The Power was one of the best terror tales ever told. Waiting is even better, rich with character, suspense and constant surprise. This is one of the best chillers of the entire decade. It is guaranteed to give you nightmares. Reading this book was a pure pleasure."--Mystery SceneAt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

    In this clever reimagining of a classic tale, it's up to Captain Hook to rescue his crew, escape the strange island, and stop that spoiled blood-thirsty brat Peter! 
    “A masterpiece of horror, action, suspense, and high seas pirate ship battles.” JOE DAVISON, Stranger Things 
    Considered a buffoon by fellow pirates, Captain James Hook is determined to avoid the gallows by leading his crew to an uncharted and mythical island. The deal was supposed to be simple: pretend to be sailors, deliver the goods, and collect payment from a mysterious client. 
    But now they're on the run from a century-old vampire who looks no more than fourteen and his fang-toothed Lost Boys are hot on their trail. A voodoo priestess, zombies, and cannibalistic mermaids patrol the coast, and all are prepared to use their dark magic to keep James Hook and his crew from escaping alive. 
    The Captain may just be the only one who can finally end Peter's reign of violent playtime and bloodshed. The future of America, and possibly the world, rests in the hands of the Mighty Hook!

    ‘Carmilla’ is an 1872 Gothic novella by the Irish author Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. Predating Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) by 26 years, it is also one of the earliest works of vampire fiction. The story is narrated as part of the casebook of Dr Hesselius, an occult detective. Set in Styria in the then-Austrian Empire, a young girl, Laura, narrates the blood-curdling tale of the vampire Carmilla or Mircalla, the Countess Karnstein. Carmilla has often been adapted to film, opera and other media, and has inspired the author Anne Rice.

    For Dex Foray, con­vinc­ing Perry Palomino to open her­self to their bur­geon­ing rela­tion­ship has been more chal­leng­ing than hunt­ing ghosts, bat­tling demons, and stalk­ing Sasquatch com­bined. Add in the fact that the only way they can keep their Exper­i­ment in Ter­ror show run­ning is to take on a third part­ner in the form of the mys­te­ri­ous Max­imus Jacobs—all while inves­ti­gat­ing a sin­is­ter voodoo sect in New Orleans—and you've got the per­fect South­ern storm and a recipe for dis­as­ter. Luck­ily, Dex has never been one to back down, even when his life—and heart—are on the line.

    A witch with no power captured by four vicious, possessive, sinfully hot gargoyles… 
    Not exactly the makings of a happy ending. 
    Yet here in the arms of New York’s most brutal monsters, I’ve never felt so safe. So cherished.  
    As we work to obliterate our enemies and solve the mysteries of my past—a past that very well holds the key to unlocking my lost magic and breaking their curse—my gargoyles and I have grown impossibly close. 
    But with every enemy destroyed and clue uncovered, through every searing kiss and filthy, forbidden touch, something dark is awakening inside me.  
    Something... hungry. 
    The gargoyles told me that committing violence takes something from you—and they would know. 
    But for me? I’m pretty sure it’s giving something back. Something I’ve been missing for far too long. 
    And now that I’ve gotten a taste, I’m afraid my nights of blood and vengeance are just beginning… 
    Wicked Awakening is the second book in the Claimed by Gargoyles series, a scorching hot reverse harem paranormal mafia romance featuring a feisty witch coming into her power and four fiercely possessive gargoyle gangsters with horns, tails, oh-so-sensitive wings, and special “equipment” guaranteed to leave their woman—and their readers—begging for more.
