Майк Эриксон – простой учитель в обыкновенной средней школе. По крайней мере, таким человеком он хочет казаться, ведь некоторыми способностями превосходит любого преподавателя в мире. Но спокойная жизнь меняется, когда Майку предлагают крайне необычную работу – загадку, которую можно решить только с его уникальными возможностями. Речь идет о секретном проекте «Дверь Альбукерке», о машине, которая может мгновенно перенести человека из точки А в точку Б, о первой в мире телепортационной установке. Ее создатели уверяют, что Дверь абсолютно безопасна, и десятки испытаний подтверждают их правоту. Вот только в центре начинают происходить…

Padlocked doors. Strange light fixtures. Mutant cockroaches. There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s. Because every room in this old Los Angeles brownstone has a mystery or two. Mysteries that stretch back over a hundred years. Some of them are in plain sight. Some are behind locked doors. And all together these mysteries could mean the end of Nate and his friends. Or the end of everything... "A riveting apocalyptic mystery in the style of LOST."--Craig DiLouie, author of THE INFECTION and THE KILLING FLOOR

Осенью 1969 года в сонном городке Литл-Хилл, это штат Миссури, – произошло нечто. Сто восемь человек за один день позвонили в полицию округа и штата и сообщили о падении НЛО в ближайшем лесу. Прежде чем полиция добралась до места происшествия и космический корабль и обломки исчезли. В тот же время в округе видели несколько армейских грузовиков. Вероятно корабль сбили и подразделения быстрого реагирования уже были наготове чтобы его подобрать. Официальные власти говорили об упавшем самолёте, но в архивах нет ни одного упоминания о каких-либо испытаниях военных или гражданских самолетов на той неделе в радиусе шестисот миль…

Nothing ever changes in Sanders. The town’s still got a video store, for god’s sake.

So why doesn’t Eli Teague want to leave?

Not that he’d ever admit it, but maybe he’s been waiting—waiting for the traveler to come back. The one who’s roared into his life twice before, pausing just long enough to drop tantalizing clues before disappearing in a cloud of gunfire and a squeal of tires. The one who’s a walking anachronism, with her tricorne hat, flintlock rifle, and steampunked Model-A Ford.

The one who’s being pursued by…something.

So when the mysterious traveler finally reappears, Eli’s determined that this time, he’s going to get some answers. But his hunt soon yields far more than he bargained for, plunging him headlong into a dizzying world full of competing factions and figures straight out of legend.

To make sense of the mystery at its heart, he must embark on a breakneck chase across the country and through two centuries of history­—with nothing less than America’s past, present, and future at stake.

ROBINSON CRUSOE is one of the most enduring adventures of the past four centuries and one of the most well-known works in the English language. Or is it?

Recently discovered amidst the papers of the 20th century writer and historian H. P. Lovecraft is what claims to be the true story of Robinson Crusoe. Taken from the castaway’s own journals and memoirs, and fact-checked by Lovecraft himself, it is free from many of Defoe’s edits and alterations. From Lovecraft’s work a much smoother, simpler tale emerges--but also a far more disturbing one.

Here Crusoe is revealed as a man bearing the terrible curse of the werewolf and the guilt that comes with it--a man with no real incentive to leave his island prison. The cannibals who terrorized Crusoe are revealed to be less human than ever before hinted--worshippers of a malevolent octopus-headed god. And the island itself is a place of ancient, evil mysteries that threaten Crusoe’s sanity and his very soul.

This version of the classic tale, assembled by two legends of English literature and abridged by Peter Clines, is the terrifying supernatural true story of Robinson Crusoe as it has never been seen before.
