Synopsis

A collection of three horror novels by Mark L'Estrange, now in one volume!

Ghost Song: After bank manager Jonathan Ward inherits an old manor, strange things begin to happen. During his first night at the property, a beautiful young woman appears outside her door, pleading for help. Moments later, she has disappeared. Strange apparitions and unearthly sounds follow, as does the young woman seeking refuge. As the dark history of the manor slowly unfolds, Jonathan begins to realize the full extent of the horror to come. Is it too late to save those dearest to him... and himself?

The Creeper: Something evil lurks in the woods, on the outskirts of town. It lives in the shadows and strikes without warning, always with the same objective: to mutilate, kill and devour its victim. A monster with a cannibalistic craving for human flesh, and a sexual appetite which seemingly cannot be satiated. No victim is left alive, and the scattered remains divulge very little to the police pathologist. With the body count rising, the superintendent in charge of the investigation resorts to desperate measures. Soon, it becomes obvious that the police have woefully underestimated their suspect.

The Haunted House From Hell: When Catherine Porter murders her only son and takes her own life, no one can understand why. Vilified for her crimes, she becomes synonymous with everything evil and wicked amongst the locals. Soon after her death, reports begin to circulate that her ghost has been seen inside her old house. Over the years, the sightings continue, sending most of the house's occupants running from the property, screaming into the night. When the Jefferson family moves in, they decide to hold a séance to finally rid the property of its unwanted guest. But in doing so, they unleash something even more terrifying: a malevolent force that will stop at nothing to take back its domain.

Spider to the Fly - A Novel

J. H. Markert

A true crime author helps in a desperate hunt for a killer in this dark and twisted thriller from the deviously inventive horror author that Peter Farris calls the “clear heir to Stephen King.”Perfect for fans of cat and mouse serial killer thrillers like The Butcher and the Wren and The Jigsaw Man.Ellie Isles first became obsessed with the I-64 Strangler when she saw her own face on one of his victims. Identical to every detail, the woman wasn’t her, but she could have been. Unable to stop herself from obsessing over her doppelganger’s death, Ellie wrote a true crime book about the Strangler and became a bestselling author.     Four years and a dozen more victims later, the Strangler still hasn’t been caught, and many of his victims remain unidentified. Ellie has created an online true crime network with millions of followers and a massive database of people at risk of becoming Jane and John Does: the homeless, the drug-addicted and downtrodden, the unwanted and uncared-for, with the hopes that if they become victims, they might at least be identified.      Some people think Ellie is crazy. She’s convinced that the victim with her face was her own unknown long-lost twin, and her determination to build the Doe database borders on manic. But with multiple victims successfully identified from her database, the task force trying to catch the Strangler can’t deny her utility–and Ellie is more determined than ever to help catch the Strangler.     With striking prose and a horror flair, Spider to the Fly is an engrossing serial killer thriller perfect for fans of The Whisper Man.

The Consultant

Bentley Little

CompWare is in serious trouble after a promised merger falls through, so they do what other businesses have done to bolster their public image: they hire a consulting firm to review and streamline their business practices. 
But there’s something strange about the firm they hire—more specifically, the quirky gentleman who arrives to supervise the project: Mr. Patoff, tall and thin and wearing a bow tie and with an odd smile that never quite reaches his eyes. 
In his first interactions, the consultant asks inappropriate questions and generally seems a nuisance. Over time, Patoff gains power to the point where he seems to be running the whole company. He enacts arbitrary and invasive changes to office protocol; he places cameras all over the building, causing paranoia among the workers; he calls employees at all hours of the night; and he visits some of their homes and menaces their families. People who defy the consultant get fired … or worse. The employees of CompWare soon realize they’re not just fighting for their jobs: they’re fighting for their lives. 
The Consultant is a biting workplace satire with the horrific touches only Bentley Little could provide.
