Grady Hendrix Knihy

Přátelství Abby a Gretchen začalo na Abbyiných desátých narozeninách a trvalo až do střední školy. I když pocházely z různých poměrů, jejich pouto a blízkost zůstaly silné. Byly si navzájem oporou, bavily se, vymýšlely bláznivosti a užívaly si společné chvíle. Nic však nemohlo ohrozit jejich přátelství až do osudné noci před maturitou, kdy se Gretchen ztratila v lese. Abby a další dvě spolužačky prožívaly hrůzu během jejího celonočního hledání, obávajíc se, že ji už nenajdou živou. Když se Gretchen nakonec objeví, je otřesená, ale na první pohled v pořádku. Něco se však změnilo a Gretchen už není úplně stejná. Příběh se odehrává v malém americkém městečku na přelomu let 1988 a 1989, což dodává atmosféru bez moderních technologií. Temné síly, které se v příběhu objevují, zůstávají až do konce nejasné, což podtrhuje autorovy vypravěčské schopnosti. Celý příběh se soustředí na sílu a obětavost pravého přátelství, které čelí neznámým hrozbám.

Podivné věci se dějí… ve velkoobchodě s nábytkem Orsk v Clevelandu. Každé ráno vedoucí přijede do obchodu a zjistí, že police Kjërring jsou rozbité, ze sklenic Glans zbyly jen střepy a kdosi rozmlátil i šatní skříně Liripip! Je nadmíru jasné, že něco tu nehraje. Aby záhadu rozluštila, dohodne se trojice zaměstnanců, že bude v obchodě dobrovolně pracovat přesčas. A tak v brzkých ranních hodinách na podlaží s vystaveným nábytkem zaslechnou zvláštní zvuky a ocitnou se tváří v tvář něčemu, co by si nepředstavili ani v nejděsivějších snech. Horrorstör se dá charakterizovat jako tradiční příběh o strašidelném domě, ovšem ve zcela současném pojetí, a to nejen neotřelým výtvarným a grafickým zpracováním.

Celebrating the weird, gory, freaky, amazing horror fiction of the 70s and 80s. With vintage art, hilarious commentary, recommended reading, and poignant creator biographies.

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Book Club s Guide to Slaying Vampires comes a hard-rocking, spine-tingling horror novel about a washed-up guitarist of a 90s heavy metal band who embarks on an epic road-trip across America and deep into the web of a sinister conspiracy.

Fried Green Tomatoes and "Steel Magnolias" meet Dracula in this Southern-flavored supernatural thriller set in the '90s about a women's book club that must protect its suburban community from a mysterious and handsome stranger who turns out to be a blood-sucking fiend. Patricia Campbell had always planned for a big life, but after giving up her career as a nurse to marry an ambitious doctor and become a mother, Patricia's life has never felt smaller. The days are long, her kids are ungrateful, her husband is distant, and her to-do list is never really done. The one thing she has to look forward to is her book club, a group of Charleston mothers united only by their love for true-crime and suspenseful fiction. In these meetings, they're more likely to discuss the FBI's recent siege of Waco as much as the ups and downs of marriage and motherhood. But when an artistic and sensitive stranger moves into the neighborhood, the book club's meetings turn into speculation about the newcomer. Patricia is initially attracted to him, but when some local children go missing, she starts to suspect the newcomer is involved. She begins her own investigation, assuming that he's a Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy. What she uncovers is far more terrifying, and soon she—and her book club—are the only people standing between the monster they've invited into their homes and their unsuspecting community.
