    Spend enough time at the end of your rope, and you'll make some bad choices--make enough of them, and your choices start making themselves. But when you're a nineteen year old boy living on the streets with no money for food, you find salvation anywhere you can. Maybe in a dumpster, or a brothel, or a gun. Or maybe in a creepy, cold pawn shop, in a broken down city at the edge of nowhere.

    “My mum had this party in Hawaii, and it was so, so amazing. Did you see my posts on Insta?” Leila heard Joanne say as she walked through the hallways. “Uhmmm, I definitely saw, and I was screaming at the top of my lungs cos those pictures were cuteeeeee” Esther replied. “Did you check out Grace's page?” She replied. “They visited Venice Beach” “They? Who is they?” Esther raised an eyebrow. “You can’t mean?” “Who else? She and Jason. There was this picture where she had just a bikini on and Jason’s packs were fire. Sometimes, I wish Mac was more masculine,” Joanne said right before she slammed her locker door and walked towards Chemistry class. “Urghhhhhhh! Can these people go a day without talking about their silly pictures?” Leila said under her breadth with her hands clutching her backpack. As she walked through the hallway, her locker seemed farther away with every step closer. Slowly, the walls began to close in, and the grounds opened. Leila could see nothing but black. The purple paint now cold, black, the tiles the same, the people in the hall morphed into obsidian, gooey aliens and the entire hallway spiralled in circles. “Leila!” Stacy screamed and Leila jittered out of her...

    The next high concept horror novel from NYT bestselling author Christopher Golden. 
 
Across Italy there are many half-empty towns, nearly abandoned by those who migrate to the coast or to cities. The beautiful, crumbling hilltop town of Becchina is among them, but its mayor has taken drastic measures to rebuild―selling abandoned homes to anyone in the world for a single Euro, as long as the buyer promises to live there for at least five years. It’s a no-brainer for American couple Tommy and Kate Puglisi. Both work remotely, and Becchina is the home of Tommy’s grandparents, his closest living relatives. It feels like a romantic adventure, an opportunity the young couple would be crazy not to seize. But from the moment they move in, they both feel a shadow has fallen on them. Tommy’s grandmother is furious, even a little frightened, when she realizes which house they’ve bought. There are rooms in an annex at the back of the house that they didn’t know were there. The place makes strange noises at night, locked doors are suddenly open, and when they go to a family gathering, they’re certain people are whispering about them, and about their house, which one neighbor refers to as The House of Last Resort. Soon, they learn that the home was owned for generations by the Church, but the real secret, and the true dread, is unlocked when they finally learn what the priests were doing in this house for all those long years…and how many people died in the strange chapel inside. While down in the catacombs beneath Becchina…something stirs.
