Details: 'Buy my
stepfather's ghost' read
the e-mail. So Jude did.
He bought it, in the
shape of the dead man's
suit, delivered in a
heart-shaped box,
because he wanted it:
because his fans ate up
that kind of story. It
was perfect for his
collection: the genuine
skulls and the bones,
the real honest-to-God
snuff movie, the occult
books and all the rest of
the paraphanalia that
goes along with his kind
of hard/goth rock. But
the rest of his
collection doesn't make
the house feel cold. The
bones don't make the dogs
bark; the movie doesn't
make Jude feel as if he's
being watched. And none
of the artefacts bring a
vengeful old ghost with
black scribbles over his
eyes out of the shadows
to chase Jude out of his
home, and make him run
for his life... Ideal
for: Fans of horror and
ghost story fiction

After being shot in the
back and dying - again -
Harper's recovery has
been hard. She's lost
many of the powers she'd
acquired since first
becoming a Greywalker and
knows that if she dies
one more time, she won't
be coming back. Her only
respite from the chaos is
her work... until she
sees a ghostly car
accident for which there
are no records. Worse
still, the victim of the
fatal wreck insists he
was murdered, and that
the nearby community of
Sunset Lakes - called
'Blood Lake' by locals -
is to blame. The
picturesque area is an
unlikely a haven for
conspiracy but Harper
soon learns that the icy
waters of the lake hide a
terrible power and a host
of hellish beings. And
both are held under the
thrall of a sinister
cabal that will use the
darkest of arts to
achieve their fiendish
ends...

A chilling, haunting
ghost story that delves
into the dark past of the
16th century Essex witch
trials. Sadie Asquith has
been fascinated by the
dark past of Essex's
witch hunts for as long
as she can remember. And
for good reason: between
1560 and 1680, over 500
women were tried for
witchcraft in the county
of Essex. But as she
researches a book on the
subject, Sadie
experiences strange,
ghostly visions. She
hears noises at night, a
sobbing sound that
follows her, and black
moths appear from
nowhere. It's as if, by
digging up the truth
about the witch hunts,
she has opened an
unearthly connection to
the women treated so
cruelly and killed
centuries before. And
something else in the
modern world is after her
too: Sadie is sure she's
being followed, her flat
is burgled and she finds
clues that reveal her own
past isn't all that she
believed. Can she find
peace for the witches of
Essex's history and can
she find a safe path for
herself? For fans of
Christopher Ransom and
Susan Hill. So scary
you'll sleep with the
lights on...

DU FREAK Darren goes to a
banned freak show with

animal lover (who do
not). Darren begins to

blood...Suspicious of Mr
Crepsley's secretive
bahaviour, Darren and
Evra shadow him across
the city and confront a
creature of the night who
may be the end of them

Sookie doesn't have that
many relations, so she
hated to lose one - but
of all the people to go,
she didn't expect it to
be her cousin Hadley, a
consort of New Orleans'
vampire queen - after
all, Hadley was
technically already dead.
But she is gone, beyond
recall, and she's left
Sookie an inheritance -
one that comes with a bit
of a risk - not least
because someone doesn't
want Sookie digging too
deep into Hadley's past -
or her possessions.
Sookie's life is once
again on the line, and
this time the suspects
range from the rogue
werewolves who have
rejected Sookie as a
friend of the pack to her
first love, the vampire
Bill. Sookie's got a lot
to do if she's going to
keep herself alive. The
Sookie Stackhouse books
are delightful Southern
Gothic supernatural
mysteries, starring
Sookie, the telepathic
cocktail waitress, and a
cast of increasingly
colourful characters,
including vampires,
werewolves and things
that really do go bump in
