| 301. Practical Demonkeeping low price | |
|
by: Christopher Moore Amazon.com's Price: $9.95 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I read an interview where Christopher Moore said that, with this novel, he wanted "to do for horror what Douglas Adams did for science-fiction." He hasn't come far off the mark, although the Hitchhiker series was palpably science-fiction whereas this is hardly horror. It has all of the trappings but never produces a real scare. That is my only complaint. The other author I kept thinking of while reading this was Terry Pratchett, whose work I prefer over Adams'. In Adams' work, you could ...

| 302. Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror | |
|
by: Steve Alten Amazon.com's Price: $22.95 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This book is great. I read it all in one day! It's about a sixty foot long shark that comes out of it's hiding place deep in the Challenger's Deep and starts wreaking havoc on sharks, whales, and-you guessed it-people! This book has been getting alot of negative reviews which it totally doesn't deserve. Suspense, a few laughs, action, and a great monster make this book a must read for fans of sci-fi and adventure. Ok, so some of the things in the book were far fetched, like the part when the Meg jumps ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Amy Kelley Amazon.com's Price: $7.95 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description My middle-school son has been taking this little book along to camp and on camping trips for several years now, and delights in scaring his tentmates with different stories every night. While a couple of the stories may be TOO frightening for the younger set, most are really terrific read-alouds for nature loving campers of all ages. Read Reviews and Description

| 304. Ghost Story | |
|
by: Peter Straub Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I have read every Peter Straub book ever written (excluding Marriages, of course), and this is the best of them all (with Shadowland and If You Could See Me Now running close seconds). Granted, the story is not about ghosts, but what it IS about is even worse than mere spooks. The horror is slow and brooding, almost Gothic in it's telling, giving the reader the feeling of inexorable descent into madness, and the mystery of Eva Galli - a.k.a Alma Mobley, Anne-Veronica Moore, Angie Maule, and Anna Mostyn ...

by: F. Paul Wilson List Price: $15.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.17 You Save: $4.78 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Author F. Paul Wilson made a fan out of me with his stunningly original novel The Keep, a tale of Nazis facing Lovecraftian horror in a Romanian castle. I became a fan of his Repairman Jack character in The Tomb, a sequel to The Keep, and that led me to The Barrens and Others, where Jack makes a belated return in the story A Day In The Life. It's rare to find a really good short story collection, and this is Wilson's second; The first was the amazing collection Soft and Others. The stories here include: Read More Read Reviews and Description

|
by: Stephen King Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description With the ``Last Castle Rock Story'' King bids a magnificent farewell to the fictional Maine town where much of his previous work has been set. Of grand proportion, the novel ranks with King's best, in both plot and characterization. A new store, Needful Things, opens in town, and its proprietor, Leland Gaunt, offers seemingly unbeatable (read: Faustian) bargains to Castle Rock's troubled citizens. Among them are Polly Chalmers, lonely seamstress whose arthritis is only one of the physical and psychic pains she must bear; ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

From the battle in the desert between the Saint of Killers with Starr and his men to Jesse falling out of an airplane, this truly is an exciting story, and of course is filled with all the violence and humour the series is known for. This is definately recommended reading for anyone who is either a fan of the series of is juist getting into it as it realy gives a feal of what ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 310. The Haunted Air (Repairman Jack) | |

by: F. Paul Wilson Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Take, for example, Lyle and Charlie--two con artists (although Charlie's a born-again Catholic) trying to make a few bucks. They've made some enemies since their move to New York. Enemies that may want them dead. And then there's the earthquake that occurs beneath the brothers' house. It creates a giant crevice in the floor of their basement...and releases something into this world that maybe should've stayed below. And then there's Jack's girlfriend, Gia. She's worried...because she's pregnant. And that means that ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
