Begone, evil dolls!

Thanks for the heads up! I just picked up 10 of them. I still have a few more to get, but these will keep me busy for a while. I like her books quite a bit.

Home Sweet Home - Clear winner!
Annabelle
Chain Letter
Victoria
Pendulum

I would have gotten Smoke, but Smashwords didn't seem to have that one. Amazon does though.

If I buy more, they will be Jump Rope and Lost and Found. The titles are on sale through April 7, so I'll have to read one of her books pretty soon.

I don't have Smoke, and I didn't realize I didn't have it until you mentioned it!

THANKS!

Damn, the end line of the synopsis

I knew no answers, only that I must go on to the dark house I would use as a hunting lodge, to welcome the strong young men who would come as hunters and might stay as lovers.

I grew up on her horror stuff. Still have a few paperbacks that survived.

A lot of this sale looks to be Gothic type fiction, which I absolutely adore, and had none of by her. Definitely grabbed a few.

The Witches by Norah Lofts writing as Peter Curtis is $0.99 at Amazon US. Also published under the titles The Devil's Own, The Little Wax Doll and Catch as Catch Can, under Norah's name and the pseudonym.

Hammer filmed it in 1966 as The Witches, though it was also released as The Devil's Own.

Walwyk seemed a dream village to the new schoolteacher, Miss Mayfield. But dreams can change into nightmares...

When one of her students accuses his friend Ethel's grandmother of abusing her, Miss Mayfield cannot let it go. But Ethel won't say anything, despite the evidence of Miss Mayfield's own eyes. But as she attempts to get to the truth of the matter, she stumbles on something far more sinister. Walwyk seems to be in the grip of a centuries-old evil, and anybody who questions events in the village does not last long.

Death stalks more than one victim, and Miss Mayfield begins to realise that if she's not careful, she will be the next to die...

Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo is $2.99 on Amazon.com

Sweltering, queer Southern Gothic that crosses Appalachian street racing with academic intrigue, all haunted by a hungry ghost.

Andrew and Eddie did everything together, best friends bonded more deeply than brothers, until Eddie left Andrew behind to start his graduate program at Vanderbilt. Six months later, only days before Andrew was to join him in Nashville, Eddie dies of an apparent suicide. He leaves Andrew a horrible inheritance: a roommate he doesn’t know, friends he never asked for, and a gruesome phantom that hungers for him.

As Andrew searches for the truth of Eddie’s death, he uncovers the lies and secrets left behind by the person he trusted most, discovering a family history soaked in blood and death. Whirling between the backstabbing academic world where Eddie spent his days and the circle of hot boys, fast cars, and hard drugs that ruled Eddie’s nights, the walls Andrew has built against the world begin to crumble.

And there is something awful lurking, waiting for those walls to fall.

The Last Days of Jack Sparks by Jason Arnopp is $1.99 at Amazon US.

Jack Sparks died while writing this book.

It was no secret that journalist Jack Sparks had been researching the occult for his new book. No stranger to controversy, he'd already triggered a furious Twitter storm by mocking an exorcism he witnessed.

Then there was that video: forty seconds of chilling footage that Jack repeatedly claimed was not of his making, yet was posted from his own YouTube account.

Nobody knew what happened to Jack in the days that followed -- until now.

It has blurbs from Alan Moore, Mike Carey, Paul Tremblay and Ron Howard.

Hey, his second novel, Ghoster is also $1.99!

Kate Collins has been ghosted.

She was supposed to be moving in with her new boyfriend Scott, but all she finds after relocating to Brighton is an empty apartment. Scott has vanished. His possessions have all disappeared.

Except for his mobile phone.

Kate knows she shouldn't hack into Scott's phone. She shouldn't look at his Tinder, his calls, his social media. But she can't quite help herself.

That's when the trouble starts. Strange, whispering phone calls from numbers she doesn't recognize. Scratch marks on the walls that she can't explain. And the growing feeling that she's being watched.

Kate refuses to leave the apartment - she's not going anywhere until she's discovered what happened to Scott. But the deeper she dives into Scott's digital history the more Kate realizes just how little she really knows about the man she loves.

Alan Moore said: "This one sucks."

Just kidding.

Thanks for that! I picked it up. MR won't let me give you any more Karma right now.

[salty-horse]

Have I been getting karma all this time? I didn't get any notifications. Is this why I've been feeling slightly less doom-and-gloom?

Now instead of reincarnating as Zoidberg, you'll come back as Kif

The Graham Masterton Collection Volume One: The Manitou, Charnel House, and The Hymn by Graham Masterton is $0.99 at Amazon US.

Mastertons books go on sale like clockwork. But if you don't have all three of these, a buck for three books is a good deal.

Masterton is a solid journeyman horror writer. But he is solid and fun. His books are usually as schlocky as they sound.

House of Windows by John Langan is $1.99 on Amazon.com
Include an introduction by Adam Nevill.
I still have an unread first edition hardcover that Night Shade sent me as a gift. Should get to it, but I will probably read The Fisherman first.

For the last few years, Veronica Croydon has been at the center of scandal, first as the younger woman for whom her famous professor left his wife, and then as his apparent widow. When a writer staying at the same vacation home as Veronica has the chance to hear her story, he jumps at it. What follows takes him to the dark heart of a father's troubled relationship with his only son, in a story that stretches from the Hudson Valley to Afghanistan; and from post-9/11 America to Victorian England.

House of Windows is a haunting exploration of a marriage under strain from forces both psychological and paranormal. With its combination of literary complexity and chilling supernatural violence, it is widely considered a masterpiece of contemporary horror fiction.

Thanks for that. I could have sworn I had The Fisherman, but Amazon says no and ereaderiq says it have been on sale. I must have looked into it in the last.
