Bound by his promise to Glaeken, Jack has refrained from making any direct moves against Rasalom.   But things have changed so there's nothing holding Jack in check any longer.   Other changes are occurring as well.   Jack is healing at an accelerated rate--much like Glaeken did when he was immortal. This can only mean that Glaeken's time is almost up and when he dies, Jack takes his place.   Rasalom continues to plot against the Lady.   Twice she has died and returned; a third time and she will be gone, leaving a clear path for the Otherness to infiltrate this reality.   But Ernst Drexler, formerly Rasalom's go-to guy for logistical support, fears he will be left out in the cold when the Change comes. He forms an uneasy alliance with Jack, who is preparing to face their old enemy.     Meanwhile, Dawn Pickering is searching for her supposedly dead baby.   The trail leads her to a mansion in a remote Long Island coastal town, where she discovers a truth she could have never imagined.   Now the stage is set for Jack's massive assault on Rasalom.   Jack knows he's got just one shot.   But it's not just a matter of taking out Rasalom: he also must safely retrieve Dawn's child and minimize collateral damage.   So, he comes up with a foolproof plan.   But fools are always with us….

    The Woman in Black: A Ghost Story

      Susan Hill
     The Woman in Black: A Ghost Story

The classic ghost story by Susan Hill: a chilling tale about a menacing spectre haunting a small English town. Arthur Kipps is an up-and-coming London solicitor who is sent to Crythin Gifford—a faraway town in the windswept salt marshes beyond Nine Lives Causeway—to attend the funeral and settle the affairs of a client, Mrs. Alice Drablow of Eel Marsh House. Mrs. Drablow’s house stands at the end of the causeway, wreathed in fog and mystery, but Kipps is unaware of the tragic secrets that lie hidden behind its sheltered windows. The routine business trip he anticipated quickly takes a horrifying turn when he finds himself haunted by a series of mysterious sounds and images—a rocking chair in a deserted nursery, the eerie sound of a pony and trap, a child’s scream in the fog, and, most terrifying of all, a ghostly woman dressed all in black. Psychologically terrifying and deliciously eerie, The Woman in Black is a remarkable thriller of the first rate.
