Disappearance at Devil's Rock: A Novel
by Paul TremblayA family is shaken to its core after the mysterious disappearance of a teenage boy in this eerie tale, a blend of literary fiction, psychological suspense, and supernatural horror from the author of A Head Full of Ghosts."A Head Full of Ghosts scared the living hell out of me, and I'm pretty hard to scare," raved Stephen King about Paul Tremblay's previous novel. Now, Tremblay returns with another disturbing tale sure to unsettle readers.Late one summer night, Elizabeth Sanderson receives the devastating news that every mother fears: her thirteen-year-old son, Tommy, has vanished without a trace in the woods of a local park.The search isn't yielding any answers, and Elizabeth and her young daughter, Kate, struggle to comprehend Tommy's disappearance. Feeling helpless and alone, their sorrow is compounded by anger and frustration: the local and state police have uncovered no leads. Josh and Luis, the friends who were the last to see Tommy before he vanished, may not be telling the whole truth about that night in Borderland State Park, when they were supposedly hanging out a landmark the local teens have renamed Devil's Rock.Living in an all-too-real nightmare, riddled with worry, pain, and guilt, Elizabeth is wholly unprepared for the strange series of events that follow. She believes a ghostly shadow of Tommy materializes in her bedroom, while Kate and other local residents claim to see a shadow peering through their windows in the dead of night. Then, random pages torn from Tommy's journal begin to mysteriously appear--entries that reveal an introverted teenager obsessed with the phantasmagoric; the loss of his father, killed in a drunk-driving accident a decade earlier; a folktale involving the devil and the woods of Borderland; and a horrific incident that Tommy believed connects them.As the search grows more desperate, and the implications of what happened become more haunting and sinister, no one is prepared for the shocking truth about that night and Tommy's disappearance at Devil's Rock.

Disputed Passage
by Lloyd C. DouglasIt began that first day of John Wesley Beaven's medical course. He was a First Year man. Dr. Milton Forrester, called Tubby, was the great surgeon, addressing his new class at the start of his Anatomy lectures. The two strong men clashed. And for years Jack Beaven bore, as best he could, the dislike, the personal antagonism, of his professional superior. From his own 'disputed passage' Jack Beaven learned great lessons -- lessons of patience and fortitude, of devotion to his profession, of humility, and of magnanimity. The popularity of the novels by Lloyd C. Douglas is due to two outstanding characteristics. One of those is the entertaining, often exciting, story. The other is the fact that each of them has been written to demonstrate a way of life which, if incorporated into the belief and the behavior of the individual, might promote success and happiness.
