Pages : 280
Book Description
A wendigo, a werewolf, snake people, vampires; Harriet Cassidy has hunted them all, but she needs help. Too long has she wandered the west stumbling across the next monster or nasty critters. Hoping for some direction in her crusade, the red-haired gunslinger heads east in search of an old monster hunter who goes by the name Ebenezer Abel. With nothing to go on but a vague telegram from her sister she hunts down the mysterious stranger. Finding herself on a riverboat on a course to the big Mississippi, she stumbles upon the man she seeks. He is older than she thought, and learns that he is fueled by puritan fanaticism. Instead of imparting his wisdom to her, he tells her of an ancient book that he seeks. He says it is a book that will wipe the world of all supernatural creatures. Intrigued by his offer, Harriet helps the puritan in his search. They don't have to look far as the tome is hidden on the very vessel they're traveling on. Finding this book is no easy task, the book has a mind of it's own, and it draws others to it. Corrupting them and turning them into otherworldly horrors. Harriet and Ebenezer have a shaky alliance as they seek out the book. There is more to the puritan's agenda than the book. Reasons that seem to lay with one of the passengers aboard the riverboat. The one they call The Swamp Witch.

Monstrous Affections
Author: David Nickle
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504064305
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
“Rich characters and a love of unique twists top off a captivating and sometimes gruesome collection of nightmares” from the award-winning author of Volk (Corey Redekop, author of Husk). Winner of the Black Quill Reader’s Choice Award, Monstrous Affections heralded the appearance of a thrilling new writer on the horror scene, praised by the National Post as “a worthy heir to the mantle of Stephen King.” David Nickle’s debut collection features “13 terrifying tales of rural settings, complex and reticent characters and unexpected twists that question the fundamentals of reality. All are delivered with a certain grace, creating a sparse yet poetic tour of the horrors that exist just out of sight. Standout stories include ‘Janie and the Wind,’ where a battered, abandoned woman does what she needs to survive; ‘Other People’s Kids,’ a disturbing examination of the razor-thin moment dividing childhood from maturity and the hand holding that razor; and ‘The Pit Heads,’ a phenomenal story about the cold remnants of a Canadian mining town and the true cost of beauty. This ambitious collection firmly establishes Nickle as a writer to watch” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). “Brilliant . . . You’d think that you were reading a book full of what you had always expected a horror story to be, but Nickle takes a left turn and blindsides you with tales that are not of the norm, but are all the more horrific because of the surprise twists, darkness and raw emotion.” —January Magazine, “Best Books of 2009” “David Nickle writes ’em damned weird and damned good and damned dark. He is bourbon-rough, poetic and vivid. Don’t miss this one.” —Cory Doctorow, New York Times–bestselling author
