| The Devil Crept In: A Novel by Ania AhlbornThe residents of Deer Valley, Oregon have worried for years about the mysterious deaths and disappearances of animals, and -- even more disturbing -- the death of a young boy. Now 12-year-old Jude Brighton has also gone missing, and his ten-year-old cousin Stevie Clark fears that the woods harbor a monster. Jude suddenly returns, but Stevie senses that he's changed beyond recognition. Author Ania Ahlborn sensitively portrays her characters' emotions while deftly escalating the dread that emanates from the forest. Fans of Graham Masterton's Forest Ghost will appreciate The Devil Crept In for its portrayal of a child's apprehension of evil in the woods. |

| Little Heaven: A Novel by Nick Cutter; illustrated by Adam GorhamOpening in 1980, Little Heaven reunites three professional killers (Micah Shughrue, Minerva Atwater, and Ebenezer Elkins) who barely survived a rescue operation 15 years earlier in remote New Mexico, where a shape-shifting evil creature occupies the mountains. The gruesome, vividly described events of 1965 left its participants victorious but psychologically damaged. In 1980 the monster returns and snatches Micah's daughter, forcing him to call on his former comrades-in-arms to resume the battle. This intense adventure isn't for the faint of heart, but it will satisfy horror fans who crave gore along with unremitting dread. |

| The Burning World: A Novel by Isaac MarionAuthor Isaac Marion's Warm Bodies zombie series continues in The Burning World, where sentient zombie R and his living girlfriend Julie, along with several undead and living friends, flee a violent anti-zombie militia called Axiom.
