The Eskdale Episode
'As Rebecca Tope tells it, every rural idyll is blighted by underlying menace. Such is her writing skill, I'm inclined to believe her' Daily MailWith the approach of autumn, a heavily pregnant Simmy Brown is anticipating the imminent arrival of her new child and juggling the move of her florist business to Keswick. A bouquet order to be delivered to the beautiful but remote Eskdale is an awkward addition to Simmy's to-do list. There she encounters three generations of women - and the next day, one of them is brutally murdered. Drawn into the mystery, Simmy and her friends soon find themselves navigating eccentric artists and fractured families. As her new assistant Evie proves unexpectedly determined to try her hand at sleuthing, and tangled motives begin to surface, Simmy realises the truth is darker than anyone imagined - and closer. And time is running out, in more ways than one. 'A Rebecca Tope novel, be it one of her Lake District, Cotswold or West Country Mysteries is a guarantee of a complex, page turning plot that will keep the reader guessing until the last page. A thoroughly enjoyable read which I heartily recommend.' Mystery People

Psáno odjinud
Psáno odjinud je sbírka čtyř samostatných hororových povídek propojených tématem knih, psaní a příběhů.
Setkáme se s knihou, která si rozhodně nepřeje, aby na ní kdokoli cokoli měnil. Spolu se dvěma bratry se vydáme doručit tajemný kufr s knihou, kterou za žádnou cenu nesmějí otevřít. Zúčastníme se narozeninové oslavy malého chlapce, který si vytvořil vlastní knižní svět – ale je opravdu jenom v knize? Zahrajeme si interaktivní online hru, která má možná schopnost ovlivňovat realitu.
Ronald Malfi stvořil svět, v němž slova mají vlastní vůli, kde mohou knihy vytvářet vlastní světy na rozhraní mezi skutečností a představivostí. Kniha kombinuje napětí, nadpřirozeno i psychologický rozměr – literatura zde není jen metaforou, ale živoucí, děsivou entitou.
Psáno odjinud jsou příběhy pro příznivce literárního hororu, kteří chtějí víc než jen strašidelnou atmosféru: chtějí být vtaženi do příběhu natolik, že přestanou rozlišovat, co je fikce a co skutečnost.

Zelená míľa
Vo väznici Cold Mountain, v úseku nazývanom Zelená míľa, čakajú na smrť odsúdení vrahovia. Najhorší spomedzi z nich je John Coffey, ktorý spáchal obzvlášť závažný zločin – chladnokrvne zavraždil dve malé dievčatká. Obor s rukami ako lopaty už na pohľad pôsobí nebezpečne, o to viac však prekvapuje svojím správaním. Ako by sa muž s mysľou dieťaťa, ktorý sa bojí spávať v tme, mohol dopustiť takého ohavného činu? Dozorca Paul Edgecombe sa vo svojej práci nevyžíva ako niektorí jeho kolegovia. Ako vnímavý pozorovateľ dokáže rozlišovať medzi dobrom a zlom. Aspoň donedávna si to myslel. Je John Coffey skutočne diablom v ľudskej podobe alebo bytosťou, ktorej schopnosti ďaleko presahujú definíciu zázraku? Isté je len jedno, na konci Zelenej míle striehne smrť.

I, in the Shadows
There’s a ghost haunting Drew Tarpin’s new room. Liam Orville has been dead for ten months and has no idea how to move on. But the longer he stays, the more likely it is he’ll degrade into an energy consuming husk—which Drew is more concerned about than her grades or her inability to make meaningful connections with other students.
Drew is everything Liam never was when he was alive, but they do share some common ground: Drew finds herself hopelessly attracted to—and completely tongue-tied around—Hannah Sullivan, who happens to be Liam’s former best friend. After a run-in with a ghost-eating monster leaves Drew and Liam desperate for answers, they strike up a deal: In return for Drew investigating why Liam is still around, he’ll help her talk to Hannah. But Liam’s time is running out, and if Drew doesn’t help him move on, he risks becoming a monster himself.
