Doctor
Sleep: Stephen King
On highways across America, a tribe of people called the
True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look
harmless - mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to
their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky
twelve-year-old Abra Stone learns, the True Knot are
quasi-immortal, living off the steam that children with
the shining produce when they are slowly tortured to
death. Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel,
where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been
drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father's
legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he
settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that
sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his
remnant shining power provides the crucial final comfort
to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes
"Doctor Sleep."

The
Devouring God: James Kendley
It's been three years since security guard Tohru Takuda
and his reluctant band of monster hunters defeated the
Kappa of the Naga River. Now, a mysterious artifact is
driving innocents in Southern Japan to flay their
friends alive, and the grisly murders turn Takuda's
world upside down. Disheartened and impoverished, he
struggles to lead his rag-tag team to find the artifact
before it poisons the entire nation. Takuda is caught
between the police, the bloodthirsty murderers, and
forces conspiring to harness the artifact's horrible
powers. And all the while, he must watch his back,
because the most dangerous killer may be lurking among
his own men.

Deceptions:
Kelley Armstrong
Olivia Taylor Jones's life has exploded. She's
discovered she is not only adopted, but her real parents
are convicted serial killers. Fleeing the media frenzy,
she took refuge in the oddly secluded town of Cainsville.
She has since solved the town's mysteries and finds
herself not only the target of its secretive elders but
also her stalker ex-fiancé. Visions continue to haunt
her: particularly a little blond girl in a green
sundress who insists she has an important message for
Olivia, one that may help her balance the light and
darkness within herself. Death stalks both Olivia and
the two men most important to her, as she desperately
searches to understand whether ancient scripts are
dictating the triangle that connects them. Will darkness
prevail, or does Olivia have the power to prevent a
tragic fate?
