The Haunt - A Horror Novel Collection

Mark L'Estrange

Sinossi

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.

Dream Walker - Episode 1 of the...

Shannan Sinclair

Dream Walker is a fast-paced, action-packed thriller that explores the power and possibilities of our limitless human consciousness within the trappings of a conspiracy thriller. For readers who loved Fringe, The OA, or movies such as Dr. Strange, Source Code, Inception, and the The Adjustment Bureau.
Do dreams really come true? Much to Aislen Walker’s dismay, they do.
Like most young women, she only wants a normal life—to finish school, become a nurse, maybe even travel the world someday. But one night she has a terrible nightmare and watches helplessly as a young boy executes a man in cold blood.
What she wants to believe is only a bad dream turns out to be an actual murder! Is this all for real? Is she just going crazy? Or is she, as her dead-beat dad tries to tell her, a “walker,” one with a special talent for crossing into different dimensions?
If she believes him, she stumbled into The Stratum, a dimension run by powerful organization that manipulates and controls the real-world through it. And they really don’t like strangers wandering in, fouling up their plans or exposing their nefarious deeds.
In the first episode of the Walker Saga, Aislen must decide what is true and what’s a lie, who she can trust and who she can’t and discover who and what she really is, in a reality where nothing and nobody is what they seem.
This. Is. Not. A. Dream.
Praise for Dream Walker: “This was an exciting story... definitely a page-turner! This is good visionary fiction, where elements of the paranormal were woven expertly into the story...” – Jodine T.
“It is a whirlwind of a story line with little lull time.” –Michele Tater, Review the Book
“Great book! Loved the concept and was in suspense until the very end.” –Margery M. P.

Concerned by the escalating threat, Cash races against the clock to figure out the truth of what happened in the farmhouse.

Over the course of his career, he wrote a mere 10 volumes of short stories, novels, poetry together with some occasional criticism. 
In 1909 his brother, who ran the company, entered its resources into some terribly mis-timed trades in coffee futures and ruin for both the company and the family quickly followed. 
From now until his death O’Sullivan was destitute, life was exceedingly difficult. 
Vincent O’Sullivan died on the 18th July 1940 in Paris.  He was 71.  He was buried in a paupers grave along with the remains of others.
