Sinopse

“Even angels have to make a living these days.”
 
With this dry observance Peter Darbyshire introduces us to Cross, a man who has lived thousands of years, though he’d prefer not to have, and who is now hunting angels in a Barcelona filled with tourists, phone cameras and deep mystery. The Mona Lisa Sacrifice is a layered supernatural thriller, filled with history, magic and beloved characters. When an angel promises to deliver Judas, a forgotten god of a forgotten people, to Cross for revenge if he can find the real Mona Lisa, a cascading set of mysteries involving a sisterhood of gorgons, Alice from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Morgana le Fay and renegade angels is set in motion. Everything hangs in the balance. Even the fate of the world.

    New York Times Bestseller: A young girl’s visions offer the last hope in a postapocalyptic wasteland in this “grand and disturbing adventure” (Dean Koontz).A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick   Swan is a nine-year-old Kansas girl following her struggling mother from one trailer park to the next when she receives visions of doom—something far wider than the narrow scope of her own beleaguered life. In a blinding flash, nuclear bombs annihilate civilization, leaving only a few buried survivors to crawl onto a scorched landscape that was once America.   In Manhattan, a homeless woman stumbles from the sewers, guided by the prophecies of a mysterious amulet, and pursued by something wicked; on Idaho’s Blue Dome Mountain, an orphaned boy falls under the influence of depraved survivalists and discovers the value of a killer instinct; and amid the devastating dust storms on the Great Plains of Nebraska, Swan forms a heart-and-soul bond with an unlikely new companion. Soon they will cross paths. But only Swan knows that they must endure more than just a trek across an irradiated country of mutated animals, starvation, madmen, and wasteland warriors.   Swan’s visions tell of a coming malevolent force. It’s a shape-shifting embodiment of the apocalypse, and of all that is evil and despairing. And it’s hell-bent on destroying the last hope of goodness and purity in the world. Swan is that hope. Now, she must fight not only for her own survival, but for that of all mankind.   A winner of the Bram Stoker Award and a finalist for the World Fantasy Award, Swan Song has become a modern classic, called “a chilling vision that keeps you turning pages to the shocking end” by John Saul and “a long, satisfying look at hell and salvation” by Publishers Weekly.

    Some dares are deadly. 
     Some houses never forget. 
    High on a lonely hill, a crumbling mansion waits. Haunted Hill House has watched for generations—its windows glowing like eyes, its doors scarred with claw marks, its halls frozen at three fifteen in the morning. The locals whisper the same warning: The house remembers. 
    Five friends thought it was just a legend. Arjun, reckless and fearless. Meera, the storyteller chasing myths. Kabir, the skeptic who laughs at fear. Sanya, who follows loyalty into danger. And Ravi, the dreamer with his ever-ready camera. Together, they make a single mistake: they accept the dare to spend one night inside. 
    But once the door slams shut, the night does not end. 
     Time fractures. 
     The walls whisper their names. 
     And one by one, the house begins to claim them. 
    Terrifying, atmospheric, and impossible to put down, Haunting Nights of Haunted Hill House is Rowan Graves’ chilling masterpiece of supernatural horror. Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, and haunted house tales that leave you sleeping with the lights on. 
    Step inside if you dare. But remember—Haunted Hill House does not simply haunt. It hungers. And once it remembers you… it will never let you go.
