Junk (Sexy Stranger Standalones #1)
by DR LoveThe old abandoned airplane hangar at the end of town near my parents' farm has a new owner. He's a big guy. Tall, blond, light blue eyes, almost grey, rimmed by black; and the most muscular tanned body I've seen up close without a shirt. Ran into him when I was delivering groceries to my parents one day. What could a man like him want with a huge hangar like that one? My parents said he's remodeling it into some kind of factory. But I'm suspecting something else. Maybe I've read too many mystery novels and watched too many spy films, but this man is not what my parents think he is. I know because when I accidentally ran into him coming out of the hangar, with his shirt off, dripping in sweat and looking like a giant Adonis in the sunlight, I caught a glimpse of what was in the hangar, and it wasn't machinery. It was something else. Parts, even whole ones. Planes, ships, and even rockets. A sea of old junk. He drives a new Bentley, wears a Cartier on his wrist, and seems to have an European accent. What was a man like him doing with a hangar full of junk, near my parents' house, I don't know. But I'm about to find out. Because not only did I see old planes, ships, and rockets; I saw a few tanks, cannons, and even missiles. Having missiles like that near my parents is too close for comfort, and I plan on getting close to Mr. Junk to find out.

To outsiders, the Crenshaw Six appear to be led by a man named Garcia . . . but what no one has figured out is that the gang's real leader (and secret weapon) is Garcia's girlfriend, a brilliant young woman named Lola. Lola has mastered playing the role of submissive girlfriend, and in the man's world she inhabits she is consistently underestimated.

A la Orilla del Río: Secuela de la Novela Pozo Azul
by Rolland LoveA la Orilla del Río es la secuela de Pozo Azul. Han pasado 50 años y ahora Dub (antes 12) y Tommy (antes 15) ya son abuelos y llevan a sus nietos al lugar donde ocurrieron los asesinatos en 1949, la última vez que ellos estuvieron allí. Ellos se convierten en una familia detectivesca de casos sin resolver. Después de escribir Pozo Azul y ver tantas excelentes críticas, me di cuenta que algunas personas estaban decepcionadas porque no resolví los crímenes que presenciaron los hermanos Dub (12) y Tommy (15). Eso me inspiró a escribir la secuela, “A la Orilla del Río” y darle un giro bizarro. Ahora han pasado 50 años y los hermanos son dos abuelos que llevan a sus nietos al Pozo Azul, allí donde ocurrieron los crímenes la última vez que ellos acamparon allí en 1949. Se convirtieron en una familia de detectives intentando descubrir un caso sin resolver. No es fácil resolver un crimen que ocurrió hace 50 años, pero ellos están listos para la tarea. Tanto Pozo Azul como A la Orilla de Río están ambientadas en un área remota de las Montañas Ozark, en el Río Jacks Fork. Un río alimentado por agua de manantial, señalado por la revista Life como el escenario fluvial más pintoresco del mundo. (Mi serie de historias sobre las Montañas Ozark es una gran forma de experimentar una aventura rural sin tener que ir allí)
Pozo Azul
by Rolland LovePozo Azul es un recordatorio de los días del pasado. Los lectores suelen decir que es como leer a Mark Twain. La historia está basa en un cuento que el padre de Love le contó sobre un asesinato en el que se encontró un cuerpo flotando boca abajo en un pozo en las montañas Ozark. El actor Burt Reynolds compró los derechos de la película "Pozo Azul". Le encantaron las aventuras de estos dos hermanos. Doc ha desaparecido y depende de Tommy (15) y Dub (13) ir al Pozo Azul y ver si pueden encontrarlo. Esta es una historia sobre el crecimiento. Acerca de encarar tus miedos, enfrentándolos y de hacer lo correcto incluso cuando por dentro solo quieras dar la vuelta y salir corriendo. Pozo Azul lo tiene todo, los temidos hermanos Conner, Buzzard Thompson - un hombre acusado de asesinato que vive en el profundo bosque, fantasmas, serpientes, cuevas, murciélagos, escuchar el crujido de las ramas cuando alguien te persigue y los sonidos de los pájaros y animales salvajes, pescar en una orilla cuando la niebla es demasiado espesa para ver al otro lado del río y asesinatos misteriosos. Son demasiadas cosas momento a momento, suficiente como para hacer vibrar, incluso al lector de misterios más duro, hasta los huesos. Muchos opinan que han disfrutado cada página de esta historia magistralmente construida.

Supernatural Horror in Literature (Classics To Go)
by Howard Phillips LovecraftH. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937), the most important American supernaturalist since Poe, has had an incalculable influence on all the horror-story writing of recent decades. Although his supernatural fiction has of late been enjoying an unprecedented fame, it is still not widely known that he wrote a critical history of supernatural horror in literature that has yet to be superseded as the finest historical discussion of the genre. This extraordinary work is presented in this volume in its final, revised text.With incisive penetration and power, Lovecraft here formulates the aesthetics of supernatural horror, and summarizes in masterful fashion the range of its literary expression from primitive folklore to the tales of his own 20th-century masters. Following a discussion of terror-literature in ancient, medieval and renaissance culture, he launches on a critical survey of the whole history of horror fiction from the Gothic school of the 18th century (when supernatural horror finally found its own genre) to the time of De la Mare and M. R. James. The Castle of Otranto, Radcliffe, "Monk" Lewis, Fathek, Charles Brockden Brown, Melmoth the Wanderer, Frankenstein, Bulwer-Lytton, Fongué's Undine, Wuthering Heights, Poe (an entire chapter), The House of the Seven Gables, de Maupassant's Horla, Bierce, The Turn of the Screw, M. P. Shiel, W. H. Hodgson, Machen, Blackwood, and Dunsany are among the authors and works discussed in depth. Lovecraft also notices a host of lesser supernatural writers — enough to draw up an extensive reading list.By charting so completely the background for his own concepts of horror and literary techniques, Lovecraft throws light on his own fiction as well as on the horror literature which has followed in his influential wake. For this reason this book will be especially intriguing to those who have read and enjoyed Lovecraft's fiction as an isolated phenomenon. These and other readers, searching for a guide through the inadequately marked region of literary horror, need search no further. New introduction by E. F. Bleiler.
