Messages From The Dead by Sandy DeLuca

Donna had never been like other girls.

She was raised by her enigmatic grandmother, who held séances in her parlor, mystifying strangers who came to their home on smoky summer nights seeking messages from deceased loved ones.

Year later, she's settled into a normal life with her husband Joe, and attending art school at Castell Community College in the evenings with her best friend Andrea. But Castell is much more than a school.

Once home to a children's hospital, the ghosts of the restless dead still roam the darkened hallways, and now they want something from Donna…and they'll stop at nothing to get it…

The New Flesh by Keith Deininger
Details: ebook
Expected publication: June 25th 2013 by DarkFuse

When Jake, a shy fourth grader, starts a fire in the woods behind his school that gets away from him, he's punished and forgiven. But his life is never the same. Three years after the incident, the dreams begin. Dreams of flames and a strange creature Jake calls The Melting Man. Waiting and watching with an insidious grin, it lures him deeper and deeper into his darkest fears, and closer to an otherworld of fire and torment. And then, Jake begins to see The Melting Man wherever he goes.

Come with me, Jake…Come and see…

As his dreams bleed into waking life, Jake realizes he's being dragged toward a very real apocalypse, and that The Melting Man's powers are growing stronger. Asleep, awake, or trapped between the two, Jake must fight to understand not only who and what The Melting Man is and what the dreams mean, but how this creature and Jake's mysterious family legacy ties into a disturbing, violent and enigmatic film associated with his father, a failed screenwriter.

But there may be no way to stop what has already begun…because this is a new nightmare…a new terror…a new Flesh…



F9 by Michael McBride
Details: ebook
Expected publication: June 25th 2013 by DarkFuse

The rate of violent crime is on the rise, and nowhere is this more evident than in the state of Colorado.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me...

It's called Acute High-Altitude Neuropathic Dissociation—or, more commonly, Mile High Syndrome—and Dr. Ellis Randall Harding, a neurologist, is determined to understand why. For him, it's personal. He was there on September 24th, 1994 when a gunman walked into the library and started shooting.

I once was lost, but now I'm found…

The answer is locked inside the mind of a monster who shot and killed nine people in 1968. The problem is he's in a vegetative state and incapable of communicating with anyone, except for Dr. Harding, who has figured out how to utilize medical imaging technology to amplify and interpret the killer's brain activity.

Was blind but now I see…

But as Dr. Harding learns, there are some things that mankind was never meant to understand. Chief among them, the true nature of evil.

So I actually already have this book, but when I came across a used copy of it (with a different cover than the one I have) and my Mom said she would buy it for me, I just couldn't pass it up. Now I can re-read it as many times as I want without worrying about it falling apart on me. lol It is one of my favourite King books.


Pet Sematary by Stephen King

The Creeds have just moved to a new house in the countryside. Their house is perfect, except for two things: the semi trailers that roar past on the narrow road, and the mysterious cemetery in the woods behind the house. The Creed's neighbors are reluctant to talk about the cemetery, and for good reason too.
