  In the shadow-haunted streets of Salem, a writer named Carson rents a crumbling old house to finish his next novel. But the strange scratching in the cellar walls leads him to a hidden chamber—the fabled Witch Room of Abigail Prinn, a 17th-century sorceress whose name still chills the locals. Within its mosaic-lined floor and lightless black stone, something ancient stirs… something that whispers from beyond the gulf between matter and thought. As Carson’s nights become filled with unremembered dreams and his will begins to slip, an occultist named Michael Leigh warns of a cosmic horror known as Nyogtha—the Dweller in Darkness—straining to breach the world through Carson himself. 
  First published in Weird Tales in May 1937, Henry Kuttner’s pulp classic blends New England witchcraft, cosmic dread, and the fevered paranoia of Lovecraftian horror. This is a tale of an undead witch’s vengeance, an inhuman god’s awakening, and one man’s descent into a nightmare from which there may be no escape.

  "Was desire something like being possessed by a nightmare?" 
   
   
   
  Fernanda and Annelise are so close they are practically sisters: a double image, inseparable. So how does Fernanda end up bound on the floor of a deserted cabin, held hostage by one of her teachers and estranged from Annelise? 
   
   
   
  When Fernanda, Annelise, and their friends from the Delta Bilingual Academy convene after school, Annelise leads them in thrilling but increasingly dangerous rituals to a rhinestoned, Dior-scented, drag-queen god of her own invention. Even more perilous is the secret Annelise and Fernanda share, rooted in a dare in which violence meets love. Meanwhile, their literature teacher Miss Clara, who is obsessed with imitating her dead mother, struggles to preserve her deteriorating sanity. Each day she edges nearer to a total break with reality. 
   
   
   
  Interweaving pop culture references and horror concepts drawn from from Herman Melville, H. P. Lovecraft, and anonymous "creepypastas," Jawbone is an ominous, multivocal novel that explores the terror inherent in the pure potentiality of adolescence and the fine line between desire and fear.
