by Franklin W. DixonFrom the back of the book: Scream bloody murder! The Hardys are working security on the set of the latest film in a cult classic series, Horror House V.

The movie is being shot on location at an actual haunted house, and the ghastly truth behind the murder is buried within. The investigation leads Frank and Joe into a living nightmare: They must face their worst fears and track down an elusive, cold-blooded killer before he strikes again! =============== From inside the book: SURPRISE ATTACK Frank and Joe weaved their way through the maze of trailers on the movie set until they found the one marked F/X, for special effects. Frank still didn't like the idea of donning makeup to play a zombie in a horror movie, but Joe could hardly wait. "Wait till you meet Paula West," Joe said, starting up the steps to her trailer. "Not only is she one of the best in this business, she's gorgeous besides." "Oh, then I guess she can't be a suspect, right?" Frank kidded. "Let's get ready to join the dead. Or is it the undead?" As Joe reached for the trailer door, Frank noticed that it had opened slightly. To his surprise, an arm emerged. It was clutching a knife! "Watch out." Frank lunged forward to knock Joe out of the way. Too late. As Frank shouted in fear, the knife plunged toward Joe's chest!

Web of the City
by Harlan Ellison"Get it straight right now: these aren't kids playing games of war. They mean business. They are junior-grade killers and public enemies one through five thousand..."In Rusty Santoro's neighborhood, the kids carry knives, chains, bricks. Broken glass. And when they fight, they fight dirty, leaving the streets littered with the bodies of the injured and the dead. Rusty wants out - but you can't just walk away from a New York street gang. And his decision may leave his family to pay a terrible price. First published more than half a century ago and inspired by the author's real-life experience going undercover inside a street gang, Web of the City was Harlan Ellison's first novel and marked the long-form debut of one of the most electrifying, unforgettable, and controversial voices of 20th century letters. Appearing here for the first time together with three thematically related short stories Ellison wrote for the pulp magazines of the 1950s, Web of the City offers both a snapshot of a lost era and a portrait of violence and grief as timely as today's most brutal headlines.
