Night Magic
by Tom TryonFrom the book jacket: A modern day retelling of The Sorcerer's Apprentice, set in New York City, Night Magic is a mesmerizing novel of ancient secrets and black magic, a story of the occult by the best- selling author of such horror classics as Harvest Home and The Other. It happened in front of the Plaza Hotel. Michael Hawke, a young actor making a living as a street performer, is working the summer afternoon crowd with his usual combination of mime and magic tricks, while his girlfriend Emily passes the hat. Then he sees the old man, oddly dressed, almost comical, making his way through the crowd. Thinking him a likely victim for his antics, he attempts to involve the old man in his act. But the stranger will have nothing to do with it, and warns him, "Never touch me." And that is when it happened: Michael experiences real magic-a mind-numbing, soul-shocking glimpse into a dark and sinister and utterly seductive world of secrets better not revealed. And from that moment on, his whole life changes, for from now on there will be no turning back Following his first encounter with what he comes to know as "Night Magic," Michael begins an obsessive search to find the old man who has so effectively piqued his curiosity. What Michael doesn't realize, however, is that in reality the search is over, for the old man-who in this life calls himself Max-has found him. As Michael, enthralled by the wonders of a magic that transcends mortal comprehension, finally becomes apprentice to the magician, his life as a carefree street performer is replaced by an overwhelming need to understand and master the very darkest of all magical arts. Michael soon finds himself caught in a bitter and dangerous triangle, torn between his love for Emily and Max's demands that he commit himself body and soul to the study of black magic. Gradually Michael is drawn deeper and deeper into Max's web of mysteries and ultimately is lured into a trap from which there will be no way out. For when the sorcerer stages his final performance, his grand exit from this world, he passes on to Michael all the powers of magic and mystery he has carried with him through centuries of darkness. It is everything the young man has sought- and a curse from which he will find no escape.

The Night Land: A Love Tale (Dover Doomsday Classics)
by William Hope Hodgson"The Night Land is a tale of the remote future - billions of years after the death of the sun. It is one of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written . . . there is a sense of cosmic alienage, breathless mystery, and terrified expectancy unrivalled in the whole range of literature . . . this fantasy of a night-black, dead planet, with the remains of the human race concentrated in a stupendously vast metal pyramid and besieged by monstrous, hybrid, and altogether unknown forces of darkness, is something that no reader can forget." - H. P. Lovecraft. The tale of a heroic search for life beyond the darkness, this groundbreaking 1912 story was the first work of modern fantasy to feature a dying Earth. The inspiration for countless science fiction, fantasy, and horror novels, the book's legions of fans included Clark Ashton Smith, who remarked that "In all literature, there are few works so sheerly remarkable, so purely creative, as The Night Land."

The Night Inside: A Vampire Thriller
by Nancy BakerVampire horror from the author of A Terrible Beauty. “Riveting . . . her compromised heroine . . . is a strikingly drawn and hauntingly memorable figure.” —USA Today Dependable grad student Ardeth Alexander finds herself trapped in a nightmare as the unwilling blood source for a captive vampire named Dimitri Rozokov. “Baker’s engrossing debut alternates the present-day story with the 1898 diary of obsessed businessman Ambrose Dale, who drove Rozokov into hiding and a 100-year sleep . . . Learning his story, Ardeth gradually loses her horror of Rozokov and begins to see their human jailers as the real monsters. Their only hope of salvation is to trace the links to Rozokov’s Victorian nemesis and discover the person behind his 20th-century captivity . . . In prose studded with passages of dark luster, Baker offers a truly original scenario” (Publishers Weekly). “It’s almost impossible not to finish The Night Inside in one frenzied, chocolate donut munching sitting. It’s also impossible not [to] root for its feisty, feminist vampiress heroine.” —Charles Busch, author of Vampire Lesbians of Sodom “Terrific . . . The unrelenting tension between the monstrous and the human propels this unique tale of gripping suspense.” —Katherine Ramsland, author of The Vampire Companion “The metamorphosis is achieved in a highly charged ritual as sensuous as any written: this is consummation as bloodbath, as mutual blood-letting and blood-sucking . . . breathless, lingering, erotic . . .” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto) “Baker has obviously thought about what surrendering to the dark side means that lifts this book up above the vast . . . morass of romantic vampire fiction.” —Quill & Quire
