ALIVE OR DEAD - Whatever happened to Jakob? is a novel of war and terror; persecution and helpfulness; sexual assault and love; revenge and murder; right and wrong. Vienna 1919: The Jewish family Nathan feels the growing hate for Jews and persecution of Jews in Austria. Culminating with Austria being annexed by Germany in 1938 and World War II. Is their fate sealed? Denmark 2006: The lawyer Daniel Danielsen from the town of Skive is given an old wardrobe. Underneath the drawer of the wardrobe he finds a parcel with a letter. Hidden and forgotten for more than 60 years. What is the content of the parcel? Who is it meant for? Who left it there and where is the person who wrote the letter? Daniel decides to begin investigating. It takes him to Vienna. Here he looks for traces. He visits the beastly concentration camp in Mauthausen. Is Nazism still an item in Vienna in the year of 2006? In Israel Daniel looks for information in the register of the holocaust museum Yad Vashem. Apparently a dead end. And then still... Back in Vienna Daniel gets closer to revealing the drama that happened before and during World War II. A drama of jealousy, revenge, envy and sexual assault. Reporting of Jews leading to oppression, forced labor and death in the KZ-camp Mauthausen. Here a very special kind of execution was used by the Nazis from a place named the Parachute Rock. Cheaper than shooting or the use of the gas chamber. And excellent entertainment the guards found. Some people think Daniel finds out too much and he is taken to a non-voluntary 'sightseeing' tour to Mauthausen. To the Parachute Rock.

No One Gets Out Alive
Author: Adam Nevill

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 641
Book Description
When Stephanie moves to the notoriously cheap Perry Bar neighborhood of Birmingham, she's just happy to find an affordable room for rent that's large enough not to deserve her previous room's nickname, "the cell." The eccentric — albeit slightly overly-friendly — landlord seems nice and welcoming enough, the ceilings are high, and all of the other tenants are also girls. Things aren't great, but they're stable. Or at least that's what she tells herself when she impulsively hands over enough money to cover the first month's rent and decides to give it a go. But soon after she becomes uneasy about her rash decision. She hears things in the night. Feels them. Things...or people...who aren't there in the light. Who couldn't be there, because after-all, her door is locked every night, and the key is still in place in the morning. Concern soon turns to terror when the voices she hears and presence she feels each night become hostile. It's clear that something very bad has happened in this house. And something even worse is happening now. Stephanie has to find a way out, before whatever's going on in the house finds her first. Adam Nevill's No One Gets Out Alive will chill you straight through to the core — a cold, merciless, fear-inducing nightmare to the last page. A word of caution, don't read this one in the dark.

Alive, she was worth a fortune . . . dead, she was a racketeer’s life insurance! Mona Ambler sat in the death house with a secret that not even a decent guy like Mike Duval could extract. Just home from Korea, Mike had to go about saving the gal the hard way. Maybe she really had shot and killed a jewelry salesman, maybe she had been the no-good thieving B-girl the papers had reported, but just the same she had also been the beloved wife of Mike’s only brother. The odds were a hundred-to-one that Mona would go to the chair without talking. But Mike Duval was willing to gamble against these odds. The thing he didn’t realize was that the boss of the city rackets was betting against him with every gunman, chiseler, and grafter on his side. Because Mona knew something that could blast the city wide open!

House of Leaves
Author: Mark Z. Danielewski
Publisher: Pantheon
ISBN: 0375420525
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 738
Book Description
“A novelistic mosaic that simultaneously reads like a thriller and like a strange, dreamlike excursion into the subconscious.” —The New York Times Years ago, when House of Leaves was first being passed around, it was nothing more than a badly bundled heap of paper, parts of which would occasionally surface on the Internet. No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command. Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youth -- musicians, tattoo artists, programmers, strippers, environmentalists, and adrenaline junkies -- the book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations, who not only found themselves in those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children. Now this astonishing novel is made available in book form, complete with the original colored words, vertical footnotes, and second and third appendices. The story remains unchanged, focusing on a young family that moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something is terribly wrong: their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Of course, neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of that impossibility, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story -- of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.
