Customer Reviews and Description The fictional book The Skeleton Man by Joseph Bruchac is a mystery that is very good in my opinion and when you start reading you will not want to put the book down.

by: Neil Gaiman, Tori Amos List Price: $12.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.36 You Save: $2.59 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Forget Neil Gaiman. Forget the Sandman. Death: The High Cost of Living stands on its own. It is a story, foremost, and it lives up to :that: ideal more powerfully than any story yet written. But it's hard to explain why. It doesn't have the great literary pretensions of some authors. But it leaves this complex :feeling: inside you that doesn't go away. Ever. "One day in every century Death takes on mortal form, better to understand what the lives she takes must feel like, to taste the bitter tang of mortality." ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 145. Bone Cold | |
|
by: Erica Spindler Amazon.com's Price: $6.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Erica Spindler has written a fast-paced, enjoyable thriller with a several "neat" plot twists! One of the factors that adds to the charm of the book is the New Orleans setting. The reader is encouraged to take note of what are some of the author's obviously favorite haunts in the city. An added bonus is that it makes me want to go back to the Big Easy and make sure to see the sites as she sees them. Anna North is an engaging heroine, easy to believe in. It is evident why the cast of supporting ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 146. Different Seasons (Signet) | |
|
by: Stephen King Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description There are so many good things about this book, but what made the difference for me between giving this book 3 stars and 4 stars, was the novella "The Body." The only story I really didn't like in this book was "Apt Pupil," just because I found it really disturbing. "Shawshank" and "Breathing" were both entertaining reads, but "The Body" really stood out for me. Maybe it's just because I'm kind of undergoing a transitional stage of my life right now, and I'm particularly emotional these days that I liked this story so much. Even ...

|
by: F. Paul Wilson List Price: $25.95 Amazon.com's Price: $18.16 You Save: $7.79 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description In his introduction to Midnight Mass, F. Paul Wilson explains that this story came to him in order to bring the vampire genre back to its horror roots (ie, away from the Anne Rice type and closer to King's Salems' Lot). But is the novel worth reading? I really had to trudge through this one. The story is filled with unsympathetic characters, predictable plot lines and pages after pages of boring exposition. In the end, Midnight Mass doesn't rejuvenate the vampire genre, it just makes it feel even more tired. Father Joe Cahill ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Gene Wolfe List Price: $25.95 Amazon.com's Price: $18.16 You Save: $7.79 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description The stories in 'Innocents Aboard' are very well written, as has been all of Gene Wolfe's work that I have read so far. What I like most about this collection is how closely each of the stories tie together - not by plot or characters, but by the type of stories they are. Most of the stories deal with some kind of supernatural presence, whether it be a god, deity, element, or just the area in which one of these was worshipped. Whether it be an indigenous god of an island people or the holographic projections of an automated house, every motion, ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

He wonders why she didn't tell him she was pregnant and the mystery starts. Mike is suddenly interested in why his wife was coming down to their summer home interviewing the town folks and not letting on to what she was doing. His investigating leds him to saving a child (Kyra) and falling in love with her mom ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 150. The Regulators | |
|
by: Stephen King, Richard Bachman Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I came in to reading The Regulators having no idea what to expect. I come away amazed, thrilled, and glad to have made a good purchase. The plot twists, great character developments, surprises, and the odd format kept me reading, and hanging on every word. The details come pouring in, and the story unfolds. It takes place in Wentworth, Ohio, as a massacre occurs in the middle of a beautiful summer day. Poplar Street begins to look like Main Street, Desperation, Nevada, circa 100 years ago...but one house, that of one Audrey Wyler, remains untouched, her ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
