Haunted Holiday

Sherry Walraven

Beschreibung

Eight cousins travel to the state of Louisiana to their annual vacation together with light hearts and hopes of fun and adventure. After arriving at their destination, the lady at the desk of the luxury resort told the cousins they were sorry, but they had overbooked, and could put them in the mansion at the edge of the property. The ladies were told they could still do all the activities at the resort, so it would be okay with them. The cousins were not disappointed, because they had never been in a mansion that big, and they would have fun no matter where they were. One thing they didn't know was it had been told the mansion was haunted. That didn't concern the cousins because they didn't believe in such things. They knew the staff at the mansion would have things set up to scare their guests, but they were tough and could take it. The new people they met were colorful and fun, and the activities they participated in were just what they needed. It was all going well until two people were shot and carried out on a stretcher from the dining room while eating dinner. This had happened two nights in a row, and no one knew who would be next. Could the mansion really be haunted?

Wild Rebel

Laurelin Paige

We were supposed to run away after high school graduation. When she didn't show up at our meeting place, I gathered my courage and went after her. 
 
It was a mistake. I left bloodied and bruised. My heart didn't fare half as well. I had no choice but to walk away. 
 
Years passed. A decade. More. I traveled the world, settled halfway around the world, made myself a name and enough money that I didn't have to look back. But I never got over her. 
 
And when my memories got the best of me, I went looking. Put all my effort behind the search. Even the best of the best private eyes couldn't find the woman I'd deeply loved. 
 
Then, out of the blue, she calls. And, what she asks for, the favor that she wants? I never thought I'd be willing to take a life. But the truth is, and always has been, I'd do anything for her. 
 
Book one of three in the final trilogy in the Dirty Universe.

The Turn of the Screw - An...

Henry James

Is the isolated country estate of Bly truly haunted, or is its new caretaker slowly losing her mind?
A young, inexperienced governess is hired to care for two seemingly angelic children, Miles and Flora, at a sprawling, remote English manor. At first, her idyllic new life feels like a dream, but the fragile illusion of peace is shattered by terrifying apparitions of a man and a woman stalking the grounds. As the governess uncovers the dark, forbidden history of her predecessors—the sinister valet Peter Quint and the tragic Miss Jessel—she begins to suspect the ghosts are not just haunting the house, but are explicitly targeting the children. What follows is a suffocating descent into paranoia, where the boundary between protective love and unhinged obsession dissolves entirely.
Why you will love this: If you are a fan of vintage supernatural mysteries and Gothic Horror, you will be utterly mesmerized by this eerie, atmospheric tale that revolutionized the psychological thriller genre. Rich with unspoken dread, unreliable narration, and the quintessential tropes of corrupted innocence and dark academia vibes, this story operates brilliantly on multiple levels of terror. The insidious ambiguity will leave you turning the facts over and over in your mind long after the final word is spoken.
Henry James was a towering figure of nineteenth and early twentieth-century literature, revered for his masterful psychological realism and intricate prose. The Turn of the Screw remains his most celebrated and hotly debated work, forever cementing his legendary status as an architect of modern literary suspense.
