The 2nd Day of Horror...




From the fictional land of Carcosa that inspired the HBO show True Detective this collection features some of the most legendary landscapes of the cosmic horror genre. 
The collection includes the following authors: 
Edgar Allan Poe,  Bram Stoker, Ambrose Bierce,  
R. W. Chambers,  M. P. Shiel,  Arthur Machen, 
Algernon Blackwood, Henry James, 
Walter de la Mare, H. P. Lovecraft.
Masters ALL!

 "The true weird tale has something more than a secret murder, bloody bones, or a sheeted form clanking chains. An atmosphere of breathless and unexplainable dread of outer, unknown forces must be present; a hint of that most terrible conception of the human brain--a malign and particular suspension or defeat of those fixed laws of Nature which are our only safeguard against the assaults of chaos and the daemons of unplumbed space."--H. P. Lovecraft"

Are you counting with us? The 4th day of horror features this:


From one of our most important contemporary writers, The Doll-Master and Other Tales of Terror is a bold, haunting collection of six stories.

In the title story, a young boy becomes obsessed with his cousin’s doll after she tragically passes away, from leukemia.  In “Gun Accident,” a teenage girl is thrilled when her favorite teacher asks her to house-sit, even on short notice. In “Equatorial,” set in the exotic Galapagos, an affluent American wife experiences disorienting assaults upon her sense of who her charismatic husband really is, and what his plans may be for her.

In The Doll-Master and Other Tales of Terror, Joyce Carol Oates evokes the “fascination of the abomination” that is at the core of the most profound, the most unsettling, and the most memorable of dark mystery fiction.


Put it on reserve here!

Day 5 of Horror































After moving to a new apartment complex next to a cemetery, a young Japanese family experiences strange and terrifying occurrences that send the other residents fleeing their homes, ultimately leaving them alone with a dark, evil something, or someone, residing in the basement.   Yeah. So, there's that. 

"Mariko Koike is one of the most popular writers working in Japan today.  Koike is a recognized master of detective fiction and horror writing. Known in particular for her hybrid works that blend these styles with elements of romance, this title is arguably Koike’s masterpiece. This title was originally published in Japan in 1986." - from the publisher.
