Horror
|
At the Mountains of Madness - H. P. Lovecraft
"This is a tale of terror unlike any other. The Barren, windswept
interior of the Antarctic plateau was lifeless—or so the expedition
from Miskatonic University thought. Then they found the strange
fossils of unheard-of creatures...and the carved stones tens of
millions of years old...and, finally, the mind-blasting terror of
the City of the Old Ones." |
 |
Dracula – Bram Stoker
"Mysterious, gloomy castles and open
graves at midnight are just two of the Gothic devices used to
chilling effect in this 19th-century horror classic that turned an
obscure figure from Eastern European folklore into a towering icon
of film and literature." |
 |
Frankenstein – Mary Shelley
"Shelley's classic hints in part at the possible
dangers inherent in the pursuit of pure science; it also portrays
the injustice of a society which persecutes outcasts such as the
"Monster." Disturbing and profoundly moving, Frankenstein has
become part of our own mythology." |
 |
Never Trust a Dead Man – Vivian Vande Velde
"Wrongly convicted of murder and
punished by being sealed in the tomb with the dead man,
seventeen-year-old Selwyn enlists the help of a witch and the
resurrected victim to find the true killer." |
 |
Something Wicked This Way Comes – Ray Bradbury
The
carnival rolls in sometime after midnight, ushering in Halloween a
week early. The shrill siren song of a calliope beckons to all with
a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. In this season of
dying, Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green
Town, Illinois, to destry every life touched by its strange and
sinistery mystery. And two boys will discover the secret of its
smoke, mazes, and mirrors; two friends who will soon know all to
weel the heavy cost of wishes... and the stuff of nightmare. |
|
Stranger With My Face – Lois Duncan
Have you ever been haunted by the
feeling that someone is spying on you, lurking around your house and
yard, even entering your bedroom? Are your friends plotting against
you when they say they've seen you do things you know you haven't
done? What's going on — and does Laurie really want to find out? |
|
Story Time – Edward Bloor
George and Kate are promised the best
education but instead face obsessed administrators, endless tests,
and evil spirits when they are transferred to Whittaker Magnet
School. |
