Collection: Horror

Perfect for fans of Ace of Spades and The Taking of Jake Livingston, this young adult horror debut follows a group of teens as they visit an abandoned reform school--and then return two years later to confront the supernatural evil they awoke there.

Two years ago, four friends went into the abandoned religious reform school Dominic House.

Only three came out.

Riley still bears horrific scars from that night. He doesn't speak to his friends anymore. And he's haunted by the truth: Riley's boyfriend, Ethan, didn't disappear...Something in that house took him.

Now, alongside TV's most famous ghost hunter, Jordan Jones, Riley is returning, determined to find out what happened to Ethan.

But as the night wears on, Riley realizes he isn't just revisiting the most terrifying night of his life--he's reliving it. And this time, whatever lives in Dominic House will make sure they all stay.

With an eerily elegant voice, dual timelines that slowly unravel a chilling ghost story, themes of religious trauma, and secrets in every corner, Trespass Against Us is the kind of horror story that will keep you up long into the night.

An epic new fantasy about a demon hunter and a foot soldier thrown together in a centuries-old war. . . and the forbidden love that could change the course of history.

A bloody war between demons and the Vatican has waged for more than a century, with two elite soldiers now at its center: Selene Alleva, a high-ranking exorcist running from a dark family legacy, and orphan Jules Lacroix, recruited by the Vatican and unrivalled on the battlefield.
When their paths cross over a series of unprecedented demon attacks, the distrust--and unwelcome attraction--they have for each other is immediate. But to get to the bottom of the breaches they strike an uneasy alliance to avoid suspicion. With Jules posing as Selene's estranged fiance, they head to the Vatican in search of answers. But even as Selene questions who her most dangerous enemy is, Jules has begun to suspect that it's him.
Now Jules' very existence challenges every truth Selene thought she knew, and suggests a terrible conspiracy at the heart of the Vatican. Unable to ignore their growing feelings, the two must make an impossible choice between love and duty.

They say love conquers all - but can it win in a war between demons and exorcists? Or will it tear them apart . . .

Then reality strikes and it hits hard.

After trying unsuccessfully to protect her son via orthodox methods, life, and death, take a twist.

Hunting Death follows avid reader Charlotte Coleman as she arrives in Ireland for a much-needed investigative vacation. With no family to speak of, she has lived a life of relative solitude and has always loved the escape books provided, particularly vampire romance novels. There was just something alluring to her about stories where a woman's pure virtue and beauty can compel a beast to reconnect with his humanity and change for the better. Of course, Charlotte understands that these stories are fictional, but the myths of vampires had to come from somewhere and she had never quite abandoned the idea that vampires may have once existed. When she learns of a castle in Ireland that is shrouded in vampire myths, she decides to cash in all that vacation time she hasn't been using to travel to Ireland and investigate the castle.
Ireland is a beautiful and welcoming place, but as Charlotte soon discovers, there are more secrets here than she realized. Despite ominous warnings from the Innkeeper, she decides to find her way across the foggy moor to the castle. Charlotte just wants to get on with her adventure, but she gets more than she bargained for when she starts to poke around.

Nineteen-year-old Jake Margate has had terminal leukemia for five years and is ready to let go but his mother has other ideas. She's found a rogue doctor pursuing radical treatments and takes her son to a remote institute where he does seem to get better...at first. But then the treatment begins to fail in strange ways just as Jake begins to fall for another of the test subjects. Slowly, he realizes he's been turned into something truly horrible. Three-time Lambda Literary Award-winning author Thornton has written a contemporary queer twist on the Frankenstein monster story.

Cathryn Whitmore doesn't want a vacation, not even in beautiful Cape May, New Jersey. Being forced to take a week off is bad enough, but twiddling her thumbs on the beach when she lives in Florida feels like a waste of time. But when she encounters a handsome college professor at a bed and breakfast that happens to house a lovesick ghost, Cathryn decides that combining work and pleasure is exactly what she needs.

Cathryn Whitmore, the driven and hard-working woman at the helm of Carruthers Initiative Institute, has always been unlucky in love. She tells herself that there's no room in her life for a serious relationship, and that's partly true; together with her friends and the agents who work for her, she's on a mission to stop a pervasive evil from setting off an apocalypse that will spell the end of the world. But that was before she took a trip to Ireland to recruit three gifted brothers to fight by her side. When Seamus O'Casey first lays eyes on Cathryn, he knows that he's lost his heart. But convincing her of this truth won't be easy. It'll take all of his charm-not to mention his supernatural abilities-to win her trust . . . and her love.

Two friends who have drifted apart go on an unintended journey when they take a drug that technically turns them into zombies for 72 hours. But near immortal cultists intent on journeying to the other side will stop at nothing to get the 'Bloom' back, even if it means taking it from their undead bodies. As the two men run for their unlives they test the bonds of friendship and learn the whole universe is depending on them. So we're probably screwed.

When Daisy Margaret Shaw died at 76, she didn't expect to wake again, forsaken by God, with a deep hunger and a new set of fangs. Now Daisy must discover who's stalking her, navigate Atlanta's nocturnal society, and decide a little girl's fate. Perdition is not your average vampire novel, and no one sparkles except the Queen.
