There's a time to run, and a time to pick up a gun. Especially in the City of Angels, where the police are at war with the Stay Ready Soldiers, a militant group based in South Central. Tonight, Geronimo and Kali must rely on each other as they traverse a perilous concrete wasteland, dodging bullets every step of the way.

There is a fine line between love and madness, between insanity and pure evil. This is Michael West at his terrifying best! From heart-stopping horror to the strangest of fantasies - these are tales from the darkest regions of his twisted imagination! All the usual tropes are here - vampires and shapeshifters, ghosts and witches, gods and monsters, mummies and zombies - but none of them are exactly what you would expect... A dream vacation takes a nightmarish turn when a couple finds they did not come home alone... A man agrees to a meeting with his estranged wife and learns the horrible, obscene truth of the old saying: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned..." An American platoon, cut off from the outside world, discovers an unbelievable enemy they were never trained to fight... And a man struggling with depression and grief receives text messages from beyond the grave, messages that push him to the edge of sanity...and beyond... Ten more reasons to say your prayers. Ten more reasons to check beneath your bed. Ten more reasons why you may never want to close your eyes again.

Brzy se ale má všechno změnit... O Štědrém dnu má Skruž podivnou vidinu, ve které ho navštíví jeho zemřelý společník Jakub Marley.

Ke Skružovi skutečně postupně přijdou záhadní návštěvníci - duch minulých Vánoc, duch letošních Vánoc a duch příštích Vánoc. Připomenou mu jeho dětství, zavedou ho do chudé rodiny jeho písaře a ukážou mu, jaké štěstí prožívá o svátcích jeho nemajetný synovec se svými dětmi. Poslední duch odhalí obchodníkovi děsivou budoucnost... Zlému lakomci spadnou klapky z očí a rozhodne se pro zásadní životní změnu...

Když angloirský spisovatel a kněz Jonathan Swift (30. 11. 1667 – 19. 10. 1745) vydal roku 1726 pod pseudonymem Lemuel Gulliver knihu Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, in Four Parts, by Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of several Ships (Cesty k několika vzdáleným národům světa ve čtyřech dílech, napsal Lemuel Gulliver, zprvu ranhojič a později kapitán na několikerých lodích), později zkráceně Gulliverovy cesty, byla během týdne vyprodaná.

There are some places in this world that go far beyond any normal definition of "haunted". These places are so evil and so diabolical that they become gateways to hell itself. The Fuller Farm is one such place. It is said that old man Fuller conducted unspeakable acts, blood rituals, and human sacrifices, all in an attempt to gain the ultimate knowledge, the ultimate power. And then, he was killed - horribly murdered on his own land, leaving the house to stand as a vacant monument to his wickedness. But once a door is opened, it can never really be closed. Now, the stars are right. The gateway is ready to once more unleash unspeakable horror upon the town of Harmony, Indiana. And this will be one Halloween that they will never forget! Spook House is Michael West's latest novel based in Harmony, Indiana, joining Cinema of Shadows, The Wide Game, and short stories such as "Goodnight" and "For the River is Wide and the Gods are Hungry".

A ruined city, where survivors of a natural disaster have become prey to something unnatural... An Indiana farmhouse, where a frightened child attempts to fool the Angel of Death... And the darkest regions of space, where a man fights to protect the woman he loves from invaders only he can see... Ten reasons to lock your doors. Ten reasons to keep the lights on. Ten reasons why you may never sleep again.
