On 12th June 1812,
Napoleon's Grande Armee
forded the River Niemen
and crossed the Rubicon -
its invasion of Russia
had begun. Charged with
delaying the enemy's
inexorable march on
Moscow, a group of
Russian officers summon
the help of the
oprichniki, a
band of mercenaries from
the outermost fringes of
Christian Europe.
As rumours of a
plague travelling west
from the Black Sea reach
the Russians, the
Oprichniki - twelve in
number - arrive.
Preferring to work alone,
and at night, they
prove brutally,
shockingly
effective against the
French. But one amongst
the Russians, Captain
Aleksei Ivanovich
Danilov, is unnerved by
the mercenaries'
ruthlessness...and as he
comes to understand the
true, horrific nature of
these strangers, he
wonders at the nightmare
they've unleashed in
their
midst...

Thomas Ligotti is often
cited as the most curious
and remarkable figure in
horror literature since
H. P. Lovecraft. His work
is noted by critics for
its display of an
exceptionally grotesque
imagination and
accomplished prose style.
In his stories, Ligotti
has followed a literary
tradition that began with
Edgar Allan Poe,
portraying characters
that are outside of
anything that might be
called normal life,
depicting strange locales
far off the beaten track,
and rendering a grim
vision of human existence
as a perpetual nightmare.
The stories collected in
Teatro Grottesco
feature tormented
individuals who play out
their doom in various odd
little towns, as well as
in dark sectors
frequented by sinister
and often blackly comical
eccentrics. The cycle of
narratives introduce
readers to a freakish
community of artists who
encounter demonic perils
that ultimately engulf
their lives.

It seems that renowned
zombie expert Dr Stanley
Blum kept a detailed
record of the vital work
that he and his crack
medical team conducted in
their desperate bid to
find a cure for the
epidemic that is
devastating the world.
This is his notebook and
it doesn't make
comfortable reading.
Here he documents
the unique biology of
zombie organisms for the
first time, Notes taken
during his dissection of
immobilized but still
functioning zombies
include graphic
depictions of the
internal workings of
these once-humans, and
reveal in grim detail the
zombie anatomy and offer
shocking insights into
how these creatures
function. This is not a
book for the
fainthearted. And what
soon becomes tragically
clear is that Blum and
his staff were caught up
in a race against
time...for they too start
to succumb to the zombie
plague.
We can
only guess at the fate of
Dr. Blum. But now that
his notebook has been
made available to the UN,
the WHO and the wider
world, we can only pray
that Blum's scientific
discoveries offer some
hope for humankind on
earth against the plague
of the living
dead...

When last the vampire
Lestat was seen, he was
rising from the dead in
present-day New Orleans
to walk again among Anne
Rice's unforgettable
undead. Now Lestat lives
again, but in a twilight
world of music and
memory.
His
charismatic friend Louis
de Pointe du Lac is
tortured by the memory of
the child vampire,
Claudia, whom he loved
and lost. He calls on
Merrick, young and
gorgeous mixed-race
by-blow of the rich New
Orleans Mayfair clan. To
save Louis' sanity,
Merrick must use her
black witchcraft to call
up the ghost of Claudia -
however dangerous this
may be. There are other
Mayfair spirits who will
not lie still, and her
search takes her close to
the edge, through blood
and terror, ritual and
violence.
Sweeping from New
Orleans to the Brazilian
jungle and the island of
Haiti, this is vampire
literature at its most
tantalising, sexy and
irresistible.

horrors are taking root.

Diary takes the form of a
'coma diary' kept by one
Misty Tracy Wilmot as her
husband lies senseless in
hospital after a suicide
attempt. Once she was an
art student dreaming of
creativity and freedom;
now, after marrying
Peter at art school and
being brought back to
once quaint, now
tourist-overrun Waytansea
Island, she's been
reduced to the condition
of a resort hotel maid.
Peter, it turns out,
has been hiding rooms in
houses he's refurbished
and scrawling vile
messages all over the
walls. Angry homeowners
are suing, and Misty's
dreams of artistic
greatness are in ashes.
But then, as if
possessed by the spirit
of Maura Kinkaid, a
fabled Waytansea artist
of the nineteenth
century, Misty begins
painting again,
compulsively. The
canvases are taken away
by her mother-in-law and
her doctor, who seem to
have a plan for Misty -
and for all those
annoying tourists...

Lestat is back, saviour
and demon, presiding
over a gothic story of
family greed and hatred
through generations, a
terrifying drama of blood
lust and betrayal,
possession and matricide.
Blackwood Farm
with its grand Southern
mansion, set among dark
cypress swamps in
Louisiana, harbours
terrible blood-stained
secrets and family
ghosts. Heir to them all
is Quinn Blackwood,
young, rash and
beautiful, himself a
'bloodhunter' whom Lestat
takes under his wing. But
Quinn is in thrall not
only to the past and his
own appetites but, even
more dangerously, to a
companion spirit, a
'goblin' succubus who
could destroy him and
others. Only the
unearthly power of Lestat
combined with the earthly
powers of the Mayfair
clan could hope to save
Quinn from himself and
his ghosts, or to rescue
the doomed girl Quinn
loves from her own
mortality- Shocking,
savage and richly erotic,
this novel with the
deceptively gentle title
bring us Anne Rice at her
most powerfully
disturbing. Here are
vampires and witches,
men and women, demons
and a doppelg-nger,
caught up in a maelstrom
of death and destruction,
blood and fire, cruelty

memories....
