FROM THE PUBLISHER Horror combines with noir motifs and a fast-moving plot in this tale of four college students who run over a pedestrian while driving at night in the Smoky Mountains. Finding a sheaf of hundred dollar bills and a mysterious key in the pockets of the dead man's coat, their curiosity is piqued and the friends follow clues to a bus station locker and a homemade video depicting the rape and murder of a missing teenage girl. In the hours that follow, the students find themselves under pressure from both a private detective who claims to represent the father of the missing girl and a state trooper who has connected them with the man they left for dead on the fog-shrouded mountain. Suddenly, into their nightmare of guilt and confusion, a shadowy underworld figure known as the Pachyderm appears, vehemently demanding his money and video back. Inexperienced young people battle both criminals and their own flawed instincts in this disturbing lesson about greed, excess, and cultural corruption."

	"Campbell, Ramsey - Secret Story - HCN" Code:0765316161HCN Price: $19.46 Rating: none Quantity in Basket: none
Add to wish list? "Hardcover. New. List $ 25.95. [Tor Books] 400 pages. FROM THE PUBLISHER An aspiring writer gets the chance of a lifetime -- his first published story, a gripping, nasty tale of murder on the underground, is to be adapted for film. There's only one problem: the director wants a few changes, since the story as written is a little too close to actual events. The dead woman's parents are threatening to sue. Surely as talented an author as Dudley Smith can easily revise his tale? Except Dudley isn't a talented writer at all. He can imagine plenty of nasty things to do to women, but he can't bring them to life on paper. Not until he's done them for real. And the more changes the director wants -- the more women he'll have to kill. "

	"Crowley, John - Lord Byron's Novel: The Evening Land - PTN" Code:0060556595PTN Price: $11.96 Rating: none Quantity in Basket: none
Add to wish list? "Paperback. New. List $ 15.95. [HarperCollins Publishers] 496 pages. FROM THE PUBLISHER ""John Crowley turns his unique genius in a different direction to imagine the novel the great, haunted, and enigmatic Romantic poet Lord Byron never penned ... but very well might have."" ""Documents discovered in a rotting old trunk in an English storage room prove that the manuscript of a novel by Byron once existed, and that it was saved from destruction, read, and annotated by Ada, Countess of Lovelace, a brilliant mathematician and Byron's abandoned daughter, during the final, agonizing months of her young life. While the curious mystery of what became of the manuscript itself is explored, we are permitted to read it - the whole of Byron's only novel - beginning to end."" ""And what a novel it is - a thrilling romance chock-full of treacheries and deceits, loves and fortunes gloriously gained and tragically lost; a tale of blood, vengeance, and mystery, of thrilling escapes and ruthless murder. Yet in the story of Ali - the bastard son of the demonic Lord Sane, torn from his life in high Albania to be raised a proper, if penniless, English gentleman - Ada finds gripping revelations of its author's hidden character, and glimpses into the secrets of his soul."" Lord Byron's Novel weaves strands from different centuries into an extraordinary tapestry of loss and discovery, and the powerful, invisible threads that eternally bind parent to child. It is the story of a dying daughter's poignant attempt to understand the famous absent father she longed for to her last day, and the contemporary tale of the determined young woman who, by learning the secret of Byron's manuscript and Ada's devotion, reconnects with her own father, who was driven from her life by a crime as terrible as any Byron was accused of.

	"Fanu, Joseph Sheridan Le - Uncle Silas: A Tale of Bartram-Haugh - PBN" Code:0140437460PBN Price: $8.25 Rating: none Quantity in Basket: none
Add to wish list? "Paperback. New. List $ 11. [Penguin Group (USA)] 477 pages. From the Publisher Silas Rutvyn is something of a riddle. To some, including his niece, he is something of a ghost. As Le Fanu gradually unfolds the layers of this story, we are irresistibly drawn into his world. There are, however, no simple answers. From the writer of such works as Through a Glass Darkly, and The House by the Churchyard, this eerie and chilling tale is one of the finest examples of his art. About the Author: Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, the renowned gothic novelist, was born in Dublin in 1873. His vampire novella Carmella is known to have directly influenced Barm Stoker's Dracula, among others. Likewise, Le Fanu's A Chapter in the History of the Tyrone Family is thought to have been a source of inspiration for Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights. It is, however, his tales of the supernatural for which he is best remembered."
