Lilly has been thrown into another dimension at the whim of an unnamed, undefined entity. To return to her life with Gabriele, she must find a new door, prevent a paradox and seek the truth from the past. The youngest vampire in existence, she will travel the world and centuries of vampire history to become the oldest of her kind with talents that humanize and terrorize those that would manipulate her for their ends. In the end, she must return to where she began and make choices between her first love, the tales of someone she’s had no reason to doubt, and an Über-vampire who reeks of evil and illness yet holds her heart. What is truth? What is instinct? Which acts will she commit that can preserve or will end those of her line?

Лондон. Респектабельный дом в престижном районе. И «нехорошая» квартира, в которую уже полстолетия никто не входит и не выходит.

Сету, ночному портье, тоже не следовало отворять дверь с номером 16, какие бы странные звуки ни проникали наружу. Не стоило переступать роковой порог и молодой американке Эйприл, неожиданно получившей квартиру в наследство от бабушки, чья кончина не менее таинственна, чем ее жизнь. И в чьем дневнике содержится намек на давнее событие, столь же страшное, сколь и необъяснимое...

Трогательная история любви и величайшего испытания, какое только может ей грозить. История, которая настолько покорила легендарного редактора Джейсома Кауфмана — сделавшего звезду из Дэна Брауна, а теперь работающего с Джойсом, — что права на экранизацию романа были проданы еще по рукописи.

Молодая английская пара приезжает на отдых в Пиренеи — и попадает под лавину. Выбравшись из-под снега, они возвращаются в гостиницу — и находят ее абсолютно пустой. В деревушке вокруг также ни единого человека. Им остается сидеть и ждать, когда же придут спасатели, но никто не приходит. Тогда они пытаются самостоятельно выбраться к людям, но всякий раз тропа выводит их к тем же самым пустым домам. Странные видения испытывают на прочность их любовь и рассудок, исподволь внушая, что никто не мог выжить после этой лавины, а законы природы перестали работать вовсе...

Jack finished university three years ago, but he's still stuck in a dead-end job in a sinister call-centre in Manchester. When the beautiful (and rich) Jennifer comes into his life he thinks he has finally found his ticket out of there. Trouble is that his boss is interested in Jennifer as well, and there's something strangely bestial about him...So when Jennifer buys Fell House, a mysterious old mansion out in remote Cumbria, a house party on a legendary scale seems like the perfect escape. But as the party spins out of control on a seemingly neverending night, they must face up to the terrifying possibility that not all their guests may be human - and some of them want to feed. An astonishing and innovative blend of horror, folktale and disturbing realism, The Leaping is the first instalment in what is shaping up to be a genre-defining series.

It is the time of the Great Depression.
Thousands have left their homes looking for a better life, a new life. But Marcus Connelly is not one of them. He searches for one thing, and one thing only. Revenge.
Because out there, riding the rails, stalking the camps, is the scarred vagrant who murdered Connelly's daughter. No one knows him, but everyone knows his name: Mr. Shivers.
In this extraordinary debut, Robert Jackson Bennett tells the story of an America haunted by murder and desperation. A world in which one man must face a dark truth and answer the question-how much is he willing to sacrifice for his satisfaction?

Telos Publishing is proud to announce the publication of a new horror novella by one of the supreme horror writers working in the UK today. Simon Clark's new chiller explores something nasty found in a village garden by an amateur archaeologist, something which has lain buried for centuries, and which has seen tribute paid to it by generations of local inhabitants. But what happens when the bones are removed and Humpty once more stalks the Earth ...

With an evocative cover by multiple award winning artist Vincent Chong, HUMPTY'S BONES is being published for the World Horror Convention in March 2010. The paperback edition contains HUMPTY'S BONES, a special introduction and author's notes by Simon Clark, and a new long short story called DANGER SIGNS, about a group of children who investigate an abandoned military bunker, and find that everything there is not quite as dead as they expected.

The secret history of Ponthe Oldenguine's lost BBC programs and cake stomping for dessert. Ponthe Oldenguine is one part fictional biography of a former television impresario who claims he's been hounded out of media history, and one part biography of the journalist commissioned to write his story. Where the tales merge, there is madness.

If you want a picture of the future, Trunka, imagine a boot stamping on a cake forever. Imagine just how glorious that would be.

Comic, curious, sometimes downright outrageous, Ponthe Oldenguine is a short novel in the style of slipstream, a brain-trip through the forgotten archives of the BBC: Captain Crowface, Radio Cardboard Fox, and The Town of Theberton are but a few of the seminal programs once confined to the rubbish bin and now exhumed for your reading pleasure. Part 1984, part Python, part slipstream, part realism, the life of Ponthe Oldenguine is an audacious attempt to restore the balance between sanity and insanity; illustrating what a thin line that can be. So, place your snout in the air, your hands on your tummy, and dance. But read it and believe it at your peril.
