Resurrection Dreams is a terrifying novel of small-town America and a recently released madman from much-loved horror writer, Richard Laymon. Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Dean Koontz.Melvin was definitely the biggest creep in Ellsworth High, and the other kids mercilessly taunted him for his odd looks and weird behaviour.

Year later, Vicki still has nightmares about Melvin and his stomach-churning 'joke'. And when she returns to Ellsworth to work in a local medical practice, she knows she's going to have to see him again. For Melvin, recently released from a mental institution, is back in town - and weirder than ever.Melvin hasn't forgotten Vicki either. Nor has he given up trying to bring the dead back to life.

What readers are saying about Resurrection Dreams: 'The unbelievable becomes believable - Richard Laymon is the best horror writer about!''Absolutely loved it''Five stars'
Resurrection Men
by T. K. WelshWelsh, author of The Unresolved, spins an intricate and chilling story of greed, malevolence, and redemption based on the body-snatcher trials that were held in London in 1831. [From the inside book flap:] "The body-matchers, they have come, And made a snatch at me, It's very hard them kind of men Won't let a baby be! London, 1830s, twelve-year-old Victor, an orphan, knows from experience that life is dangerous, and death by disease or accident is common. But to Mr. Tipple and Mr. Biggs, these streets--teeming with the poor and forgotten--are a paradise. They know that a child, once dead, is a commodity, and they are growing impatient.... In this tumultuous dark underworld, where a "fresh subject" can fetch as much as nine guineas--the yearly salary of a workingman--Victor must risk his life to uncover the identity of the ghoulish murderer who is at the very heart of London's furtive trade in human corpses." This is a gripping adventure story, based on fact of Victor, an orphan boy's desperate struggle to survive among the impoverished in the 1830's when children were kidnapped and used, both alive and dead for experimentation. Victor First as a cabin boy, then as a begging cripple, overcomes poverty. Contains graphic violence.

La percossero, le spararono, la impiccarono, ma niente funzionò. Quando infine tentarono di seppellirla viva, Thessaly scatenò il campo contro di loro.

Retratados
by Kirsten McKenzieEle observava de perto o retrato inacabado no cavalete. Era um esboço mal definido do rosto de uma mulher, os olhos ainda vazios. Apenas o contorno em forma de amêndoa e as sobrancelhas estavam feitas, esperando que o artista capturasse a parte mais difícil de qualquer mulher. Ele refletiu sobre a direção que deveria tomar. Dormindo ou desperta. A tranquilidade do sono ou o terror que ele viu envolvendo o rosto dela. Este era o ponto sem retorno, ele sempre poderia pintar por cima caso seu ponto de vista mudasse, mas queria gravar a essência dela, se ele pudesse definir o que era. Ele precisava de mais tempo. Sua sombra o observava preparar seus pincéis, seus pequenos pés enrolados debaixo dela enquanto se empoleirava no assento da janela, a tempestade uivante emoldurando seu rosto jovem. Seu pincel pêlo de marta dançava sobre a tela, criando bochechas coradas de juventude, lábios abertos. Fios de cabelo apareciam como mágica, soprados por um vento invisível. Fio após fio apareceu na tela esticada, seu pincel misturando uma sugestão de castanho avermelhado no cabelo enquanto atingia a sobrancelha. Escolhendo um pincel mais fino, ele mergulhou-o em uma tonalidade mais escura — um cinza indescritível e trabalhou no pescoço antes de definir os ombros. Com um pano úmido, ele manchou o óleo — dando a ilusão de que a pessoa foi flagrada no meio do movimento ao lançar um olhar para trás. A pintura manchada era etérea no crepúsculo da sala. A garotinha estendeu a mão e girou um de seus dedos pelo conteúdo na paleta. Com o dedo, ela manchou a pintura na tela, as cores em um contraste gritante aos tons cinza dos traços ágeis do artista. Juntos, eles admiraram seus esforços. "Não demorou muito, duas noites", ele disse, acariciando os cabelos dela. Soltos de sua fita branca, eles espalharam-se por seus ombros como as samambaias no corredor, vibrantes e vivas. Seu próprio sorriso sumindo enquanto
