Book Description
Videogames are full of horrors – and of horror, a facet of the media that has been largely overlooked by the academic community in terms of lengthy studies in the fast-growing field of videogame scholarship. This book engages with the research of prominent scholars across the humanities to explore the presence, role and function of horror in videogames, and in doing so it demonstrates how videogames enter discussion on horror and offer a unique, radical space that horror is particularly suited to fill. The topics covered include the construction of stories in videogames, the role of the monster and, of course, how death is treated as a learning tool and as a facet of horror.

Twelve-year-old Atua's childhood didn't consist of video games, television shows, or computer time. He grew up on the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica and spent his days playing outdoors, participating in surfing competitions, and learning how to grow food. Now, as the rainy season drenches Costa Rica, Atua is off to visit his Grandpa Art in Upstate New York. But the flight attendants don't look well, and the other passengers on Atua's plane are acting strange. A fight breaks out, and the next thing he knows, Atua's waking up in the wreckage of the aircraft, miles from his final destination. And as if things weren't bad enough, the downed plane is surrounded by the flesh-eating living-dead! Tammy, a rugged girl of thirteen, has seen the plane go down and is determined to find and aid any survivors. Now Atua and Tammy team up in a race to Syracuse to find Atua's Grandpa, desperate to out-run hunger, exhaustion, and hordes of crazed, bloodthirsty Zombies.

Book Description
Blood moon rising...

Derrick Hernandez and Tess D'Ovidio have been best friends forever. There's nothing they wouldn't do for one another. But their childhood bond is put to the test when Tess shows up on Derrick's porch covered in blood...

Tess has no memory of what happened. She'd gone to a bush party with one of the football players. She remembers the bonfire...and then, nothing. Working backward, Tess and Derrick learn that she and seven other players were the only ones to make it back from the party alive.

During the next few weeks, each of the survivors is plagued with nightmares that reveal fragments of memories from the horrific night. But when the young men start dying under mysterious circumstances, Derrick can't figure out if Tess is next--or if she's somehow responsible. All he knows is that he has to save his best friend--or die trying...
