Fried Green Tomatoes and Steel Magnolias meet Dracula in this horror novel set in 1990s suburban Charleston

Patricia Campbell's life has never felt smaller. Her ambitious husband is too busy to kiss her good-bye in the morning, her kids are wrapped up in their own lives, and she's always a step behind on thank-you notes and endless chores. The one thing she has to look forward to is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime and suspenseful fiction.

Sensitive and well-read, James makes Patricia feel things she hasn't felt in twenty years.

When local children go missing, Patricia has reason to believe that James...

From New York Times bestselling author of My Best Friend's Exorcism, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, and The Final Girl Support Group, Grady Hendrix takes a break from horror and goes all-in on sci-fi in this novella about backyard rocket jockeys trying to get into low earth orbit.
Melville, South Carolina was out of money, it was out of jobs, it was out of hope, and today it was out of astronauts. There were only two to begin with, and now one is stuck on the abandoned International Space Station after his mission went south. With NASA's budget cut to the bone, there's no one to bring him back home, so everyone is only too happy to ignore this embarrassing sign of American Failure and just let him die. But his cousin, Walter Reddie, isn't going to let that happen.
Tanked on vodka, living on a "farm" whose only crop is cars on cinderblocks, Walter's a wash-out from the Shuttle Program and he'll be damned if he's going to let...

Satan Loves You

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 00:53:13 +0200

No matter how much you hate your job, Satan hates his job more. If Heaven is Las Vegas, Hell is Detroit: a chunk of deeply undesireable real estate that's short on funds and falling apart at the seams. But unlike Detroit, Hell is full of damned souls, lazy demons and dead celebrities that are a constant pain in Satan's butt with their endless whining, their personal issues and their petty problems. No wonder the Lord of Darkness is burnt out, exhausted, bored, irritable and completely and utterly depressed.

But now, in the face of a power grab by his former BFF's – the officious and smarmy Heavenly Host – Satan's got to reach deep and find a way to save Hell from a corporate takeover. And if there have to be some unionized demons, hat-wearing chihuahuas, Spanish songbirds, overly-aggressive nuns and zombie hipsters along the way, that's just the way things go in Hell.

Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Cleveland, Ohio. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring bookshelves, shattered Glans water goblets, and smashed Liripip wardrobes. Sales are down, security cameras reveal nothing, and store managers are panicking.

To unravel the mystery, three employees volunteer to work a nine-hour dusk-till-dawn shift. In the dead of the night, they'll patrol the empty showroom floor, investigate strange sights and sounds, and encounter horrors that defy the imagination.

A traditional haunted house story in a thoroughly contemporary setting, Horrorstör comes packaged in the form of a glossy mail order catalog, complete with product illustrations, a home delivery order form, and a map of Orsk's labyrinthine showroom. It's "a treat for fans of The Evil Dead or Zombieland, complete with affordable solutions for better living."--Kirkus Reviews.
