Within the next few weeks:
The Damnation Game by Clive Barker:
Chance had ruled Marty Strauss' life for as long as he could remember. Now
at last luck was turning his way. Paroled from prison, he becomes bodyguard
to Joseph Whitehead, one of the richest men in Europe. But Whitehead has
also played with chance - an ancient game which gave him vast power and
wealth,
in exchange for his immortal soul. Now the forces he played against are back
to claim what's theirs. Terrifying forces, with the power to raise the dead;
and Marty is trapped between his human masters and Hell itself, with just
one last, desperate game left to play.
The Throat by Peter Straub:
Third book in the loose Blue Rose trilogy. A tormented writer unable to
exorcise the demons of his past, an all-American town plagued by horrific
secrets, a beautiful woman brutally murdered by a twisted
killer thought long dead-or by an even more terrifying copycat?
A Choir of Ill Children by Tom Piccirilli:
story of Kingdom Come, a decaying, swamp backwater that draws the lost,
ill-fated, and damned.
Since his mother's disappearance and his father's suicide, Thomas has cared
for his three brothers-conjoined triplets with separate bodies but one
shared
brain-and the town's only industry, the Mill.
Because of his family's prominence, Thomas is feared and respected by the
superstitious swamp folk. Granny witches cast hexes while Thomas's childhood
sweetheart
drifts through his life like a vengeful ghost and his best friend, a
reverend suffering from the power of tongues, is overcome with this curse as
he tries
to warn of impending menace. All Thomas learns is that "the carnival is
coming."
Torn by responsibility and rage, Thomas must face his tormented past as well
as the mysterious forces surging toward the town he loves and despises.
