Chimera - $3.50

Product Description
The novel that inspired the headline-grabbing ITV series starring John Lynch, Kenneth Cranham, and Christine Kavanagh. A terrifyingly plausible journey into the disturbing nerve-centers of medical science where our secret future is formed today.

When Peter Carson is invited to the pioneering Jenner Clinic by one of the lab assistants, he's naturally intrigued. But when he arrives at the remote site in the Cumbrian fells to find police roadblocks and official silence, he realises that he's stumbled onto a story that will do him no good at all.

Dr Jenner's work matters to the government. Enough to warrant unlimited funding, high security, and the best technicians in the country. But something has gone badly wrong. The project that has no room for mistakes has produced a result so terrible that it must never see the light of day. And now the evidence must be destroyed, whatever the cost.

Down River - $3.50

Product Description
Johnny Mays has the moral conscience of a selfish child in the frame of a plain-clothes cop. The city is his playground, the rest of us his toys. He likes to find out where we work, and where we live, and what will scare us most. And Johnny never had a toy he didn't break.

But Johnny starts a car chase, and he pushes it too far. Soon they're fishing for his body at the foot of a dam, and his partner Nick Frazier has been left behind. They were friends, once, a long time ago. Nick had hoped that he might save Johnny.

Johnny's last words still echo in Nick's mind: "I'm going to remember this," he said, a dark fire in his eyes. "I'm coming back for you."

Then the killings start. Killings of people Johnny didn't like. And Johnny's car is dredged up, empty.

Oktober - $3.50

Product Description
An apparently fatal incident occurs when schoolteacher Jim Harper is skiing near a small research station owned by the giant multinational Risinger-Genoud. Even treatment with their new, untried and experimental superdrug cannot save his life.

Or so it seems. For Jim Harper, though left for dead, has survived. But in the long haul back to health and sanity, he begins to realise that something terrible has happened to him. Now the only way in which he can unravel the mystery in his mind is to go back to the point where it began to develop – back to Risinger-Genoud and their Oktober programme. And Risinger Genoud are going to be very interested to see him.

Oktober is a frightening journey into a world of greed and lies, a world in which the cover-up is not only a way of life, but something planned ahead of time. Step by horrifying step, Jim Harper unravels what has been done to him, and then designs the perfect act of vengeance, an act that teeters on the brink of madness..

The Painted Bride - $2.99

Product Description
"I know who you are," Louise said. "No way did my dad send you to get us."
"You're right, it was my own idea. So why come with me?"
"If we hadn't, I'd have got beaten up and the doctors would have kept on messing with Jack."
"Messing with him how?"
"Asking him questions. Trying to get him to talk about things he could never have seen. All because of that picture."
This was new. "What picture?"
"The one Jack painted that caused all this fuss."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"The woman in the red dress. He called it the painted bride. Pippa showed it to her father and her father called the police. They had Jack in a room all yesterday and kept asking him about it. Now they're all trying to twist it by saying it means something."
"What are they trying to say?"
"That he must have seen her lying on the kitchen floor. That the rainbow means he saw her blood coming out."

Follower $3.50

Product Description
A story of modern terror and suspense set against an authentic and spectacular background.

The Follower remains one of Scandinavia's strangest and most intriguing myths. But for two people it will be so much more than an ancient legend. It brings together John Visco, desperately chasing a geological survey job that may not even exist, and Sara Hansun, a Norwegian girl who is sticking to her side of a lovers' agreement even though her affair is now over. Their shared destination: the Arctic fishing village of Tromstad.

But the roads are closed. And the snow is falling. And out in the darkness, the Follower waits...

Half-human, half-beast, it is a demon spirit rejected by its maker to live independently and in misery. More than anything, it needs a new host; and a dispirited John Visco will make an ideal victim
