"Mit dem Mondlicht kam ein wildes Säuseln des Sturms, der mit einem langen, tiefen Heulen wie von unzähligen Hunden oder Wölfen wieder anzuschwellen schien. Ich war von Furcht erfüllt, wie erstarrt und konnte die Kälte spürbar zunehmen fühlen, bis sie in mein Herz eingedrungen zu sein schien." Von schaurigen Friedhofsbegegnungen über dramatischen Verfolgungsjagden bis zu unheimlichen Mördern und mysteriösen Todesfällen ist in dieser Sammlung alles dabei. Gruselfans kommen auf ihre Kosten und streifen mit den Protagonisten der jeweiligen neun Geschichten durch scheinbar totenstille Städte und zwielichtige Gassen.

Heutzutage gilt Bram Stoker als Gründer des modernen Vampirmythos.

He is suffering from the effects of a terminal illness and lives with his wife Helena Rose, his only companion, who is a working nurse.

Das bis heute ungeloste Ratsel des Waldpropheten wird in diesem besturzenden Buch des Bestseller-Autors Wolfgang Johannes Bekh dargestellt. Bekh lat uns in seinen spannenden Exkursionen an der Welt und Zeit des Muhlhiasl teilnehmen und schildert farbig die Schauplatze. Sicher braucht man heute kein Hellseher mehr zu sein, um mit Unbehagen in die Zukunft zu blicken. Die Art und Weise, wie uns der Muhlhiasl das nahe Ende ankundigt, macht gleichwohl betroffen. Als Quintessenz bleibt uns Lesern des 20. Jahrhunderts die bange Frage: Hat uns die Zukunft schon erreicht?

It's hard to conjure up an optimistic view of the future. Only a few days have passed since first Top, then Amelie, and then DeeDee have been removed from my life (and theirs). I haven't spent the time doing much other than moping around the family property that now feels even bigger than when I was a child."e;How did it all go so wrong? We were a team. A group of survivors ready to take down anything that came our way. But in less than a day, they were all gone. Now it's just me and the dog. I'm left wondering about my future. What do I do now?

And no one will be able to predict what's coming.Time for round three.

THE CRAVING is a legendary adventure adapted from one of our most beloved children's tales, Hansel and Gretel. But this is no children's tale. Set in early fourteenth century Alsace during The Great Famine, when mass suffering and death led many to question their faith, when rampant theft heightened hostility and suspicion, this truly was the breeding ground that gave birth to the legend of the witch. As Guarin struggles to provide for his two starving children, Han and Greta, they are taken from him by force and led on a perilous journey deep into the forest, eventually arriving at the home of The Lady. Han soon suspects she may be harboring sinister intentions and fears the massive kiln lurking within her cellar has a more nefarious purpose: to satisfy some mysterious, inhuman craving building within her.
