| Meddling Kids by Edgar CanteroIn Meddling Kids, Catalonian author Edgar Cantero portrays a reunion of old friends who decide to complete some unfinished business in the resort town where they spent their summers as kids. While pitting good against evil, Cantero pays homage to H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos, the bumbling but resourceful gang in Scooby-Doo (yes, there are four kids and a dog), and a full range of road trip, haunted house, and reclusive wizard tropes. This gripping escapade (with touches of quirky humor) will have you rooting for the sympathetic, well-drawn kids -- now adults -- as your knuckles all turn white. |

| High Crime Area: Tales of Darkness and Dread by Joyce Carol OatesBram Stoker Award-winning author Joyce Carol Oates, who's skilled at literary fiction as well as horror, explores the heights and depths of human character in these disturbing stories. The narrator of "The Home at Craigmillnar" wonders if an elderly nun's death was from her heart condition...or something else. Several tales, including "The Rescuer" and "Demon," portray extremes of family dysfunction, while some (especially the title story "High Crime Area") reveal the risks that come from total strangers. Favoring ambiguous conclusions, Oates ruffles the previously serene seas of our consciousness. |
