The Black Door - A Horror Novel Collection

Mark L'Estrange

Sinossi

A collection of three horror novels by Mark L'Estrange in one volume!
 
Dawn Of The Mummy: The small town of Clevedon has always been a place where residents look out for each other, and neighbors ensure a warm welcome is given to newcomers. But when an ancient, deadly power from thousands of years ago comes to life, can the people of the quaint village find a way to stop it, or will they succumb to the monster resurrected from its slumber?
 
Flesh Eaters: Thorndike is just like any other quaint Cornish village. Families have lived there for generations, and the village inn boasts the finest food and warmest welcome. Visitors and locals alike agree that old Thad Beanie makes the most delicious meat pies they have ever tasted, and like most chefs, Thad refuses to divulge the secret to his family recipe. The secret, which stretches back hundreds of years, is not how you cook the meat, but where the meat comes from.
 
Silver Bullet: Unsatisfied with the response from the local police force, Jenna Wilkinson arrives in the quaint market town of Huntly to search for her missing uncle, a Professor of Anthropology from a prestigious London university. Together with Detective Constable Alan Young, they set to uncover his disappearance. Unbeknownst to either of them, the town is in the grip of a powerful presence as old as time itself. As more victims follow, they'll have to put aside their beliefs and superstitions to save the town. But can they escape a fate worse than death?

Dark Shadows

Karla Brandenburg

In the year since her near-fatal accident, ghost whisperer Elspeth Barclay has actively avoided spiritual trouble. Her sister invites Elle to a Halloween tour at a music museum, where she encounters a mournful spirit in search of her recently dead husband. Another guest on the tour keys in on Elle’s interaction and hires her to identify an oddly protective ghost at her mansion.  
When this second spirit expresses concern about the same “missing ghost” from the Halloween tour, Elle becomes aware of a dark shadow similar to those that caused her accident continuing to play pranks on her. Elle is drawn into a web of haunted histories, mischievous shadows, and a ghost-hunting team that needs her skills. As she unravels family rifts echoing through time, Elle must confront both playful spirits and her own fears. Together, she and the team must locate the relic that will free the missing spirit from its oppressive legacy

A Discovery of Hexes

Kim Richardson

I’m pregnant. Yep, you heard that right. Pregnant. And while I’m trying really hard not to freak out about that, Hollow Cove is busy preparing for its Headless Horseman reenactment—a big deal around here, apparently. But just as the town is gearing up for spooky fun, events take a real-life terrifying twist. A body is discovered, and carved into it are the words: “Give it back.” 
Before I can even fully process the fact that I’ve got a tiny, magic-wielding bun in the oven, more bodies start showing up—the kind with creepy messages and a very dead vibe. Suddenly, Hollow Cove feels less like home and more like the set of a horror flick. 
My aunts, badass witches that they are, seem to know more than they’re letting on, and the pressure’s on to figure out who—or what—is behind the murders before the whole town goes into full-on panic mode. Oh, and did I mention my powers are acting up at the worst possible times? Perfect timing, as always. 
It’s a race against the clock to stop the killer, keep my baby safe, and maybe, just maybe, survive long enough to figure out how the hell I’m supposed to be a mom. Because in Hollow Cove, the monsters don’t wait—and neither does murder.

Dracula

Bram Stoker

Dracula is an 1897 Gothic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. Famous for introducing the character of the vampire Count Dracula, the novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England, and the battle between Dracula and a small group of men and women led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing. Dracula has been assigned to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. The novel touches on themes such as the role of women in Victorian culture, sexual conventions, immigration, colonialism, and post-colonialism. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, he defined its modern form, and the novel has spawned numerous theatrical, film and television interpretations. Characters: • Jonathan Harker: A solicitor sent to do business with Count Dracula; Mina's fiancé and prisoner in Dracula's castle. • Count Dracula: A Transylvanian noble who bought a house in London and asked Jonathan Harker to come to his castle to do business with him. • Wilhelmina "Mina" Harker (née Murray): A schoolteacher and Jonathan Harker's fiancée. • Lucy Westenra: A 19-year-old aristocrat; Mina's best friend; Arthur's fiancée and Dracula's first victim. • Arthur Holmwood: Lucy's suitor and later fiancé. • Jack Seward: A doctor; one of Lucy's suitors and a former student of Dr Abraham Van Helsing. • Abraham Van Helsing: A Dutch professor; Jack Seward's teacher and vampire hunter. • Quincey Morris: An American cowboy and explorer; and one of Lucy's suitors. • Renfield: A lawyer whom Dracula turned mad. • Brides of Dracula: Three siren-like vampire women who serve Dracula. Although they are popularly known as "The Brides of Dracula", the novel never calls them this.

MS Found in a Bottle

Edgar Allan Poe

"MS. Found in a Bottle" is an 1833 short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. The plot follows an unnamed narrator at sea who finds himself in a series of harrowing circumstances. As he nears his own disastrous death while his ship drives ever southward, he writes an "MS.", or manuscript, telling of his adventures which he casts into the sea. Some critics believe the story was meant as a satire of typical sea tales.
Poe submitted "MS. Found in a Bottle" as one of many entries to a writing contest offered by the weekly Baltimore Saturday Visiter. Each of the stories was well liked by the judges but they unanimously chose "MS. Found in a Bottle" as the contest's winner, earning Poe a $50 prize. The story was then published in the October 19, 1833, issue of the Visiter.
