Jericho:
Alex Gordon
In unearthing her father's secret past, Lauren Reardon
discovered a shocking truth about herself. She is a
Child of Endor, a sect of witches who believe they are
the guardians of the "thin places"- areas
across the globe where evil can seep through the divide
between the worlds separating the living and the
restless dead. At any time, she can be called upon to
close one of these breaches and prevent demons from
infiltrating our realm. When Lauren has a disturbing
vision of an Oregon forest, she is drawn back to the
familiar woods of the misty Pacific Northwest to
investigate. Locals had long whispered about an
abandoned logging camp known as Jericho - of the strange
disappearances and eerie sounds heard in the woods deep
in the night. But these ghost stories only hint at the
true evil lurking within the camp's dilapidated
buildings, a primeval malevolence far more terrifying
than Lauren's darkest imaginings. And now, Lauren must
face this evil, even if it takes her life - even if it
costs her soul.

The
Stopped Heart: Julie Myerson
Mary Coles and her husband, Graham, have just moved to a
cottage on the edge of a small village. The house hasn't
been lived in for years, but they are drawn to its
original features and surprisingly large garden, which
stretches down into a beautiful apple orchard. It's
idyllic, remote, picturesque: exactly what they need to
put the horror of the past behind them. One hundred and
fifty years earlier, a huge oak tree was felled in front
of the cottage during a raging storm. Beneath it lies a
young man with a shock of red hair, presumed dead -
surely no one could survive such an accident. But the
red-haired man is alive, and after a brief convalescence
is taken in by the family living in the cottage and put
to work in the fields. The children all love him, but
the eldest daughter, Eliza, has her reservations.
There's something about the red-haired man that sits ill
with her. A presence. An evil.
