'The Cellar is a genuine cult classic. I should know. I'm one of the cultists' - Bentley Little
They call it Beast House. Tourists flock to see it, lured by its history of butchery and sadistic sexual enslavement. They enter, armed with cameras and camcorders, but many never return. The men are slaughtered quickly. The women have a far worse fate in store. But the worst part of the house is what lies beneath it. Behind the cellar door, down the creaky steps, waits a creature of pure evil. At night, when the house is dark and all is quiet... the beast comes out. 
Awakened by an early-morning phone call, Donna found out that her ex-husband, Roy, has been released from prison. She immediately dragged her twelve-year-old daughter out of bed and together they hit the road - fast. The last she wants is for Roy to get his hands on them again. But in fleeing one danger, Donna and her daughter are unknowingly heading straight towards another. They're heading towards Beast House.

Déconcertée, Jane consulte le roman de Thomas Wolfe qui porte ce titre. L'ouvrage renferme une deuxième enveloppe, contenant cette fois-ci cent dollars et une nouvelle énigme. Les deux lettres sont signées MJ, « le Maître du Jeu ».Jane n’est pas rassurée… mais elle décide de jouer le jeu.Or ce n’est pas un jeu comme les autres. Il va exiger d’elle de plus en plus de courage et d'ingéniosité, et l’entraîner à commettre des actes fous, immoraux… et toujours plus dangereux. Plus d’une fois elle va risquer sa vie. Mais c’est un jeu qu’il faut jouer jusqu’au bout.

Sherry's getting nervous. When Duane left for the 24-hour Speed-D-Mart, he said he'd be back in ten minutes. But that was twenty minutes ago, and that store isn't someplace you'd generally want to go at this time of night. Then Sherry hears a noise from up the street. It could have been a car door slamming. Or a backfire. But it sounded like a gunshot. 
Sherry tells herself she has nothing to worry about. Still, she puts on her clothes and heads out into the night. She's afraid of what she'll find, but she has no idea of what's really in store for her. If she did, she would never have left the safety of her home. And she never would have met a madman named Toby Bones...

Come Out Tonight

On l'appelle la Maison de la Bête. Certains la visitent comme une attraction, attirés par son histoire de meurtres et d'esclavage sexuel. Ils y entrent sans savoir qu'ils n'en ressortiront jamais. Les hommes sont rapidement achevés. Quant aux femmes, c'est un sort bien plus funeste qui les attend. Mais le pire dans cette maison, c'est ce qu'il y a en dessous. Derrière la porte de la cave, au pied des escaliers grinçants, vit une créature purement maléfique. La nuit, quand la maison est plongée dans l'obscurité et le silence... la bête sort.

La Cave

An old acquaintance has deadly intentions... 
Resurrection Dreams is a terrifying novel of small-town America and a recently released madman from much-loved horror writer, Richard Laymon. Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Dean Koontz.
Melvin was definitely the biggest creep in Ellsworth High, and the other kids mercilessly taunted him for his odd looks and weird behaviour. Vicki was the only one to stand up for him and show him any kindness - but even she had to admit he'd gone too far when he dug up the body of the school's recently deceased blonde sex-bomb, Darlene, and publicly attempted to bring her back to life with the aid of a car battery. 
Year later, Vicki still has nightmares about Melvin and his stomach-churning 'joke'. And when she returns to Ellsworth to work in a local medical practice, she knows she's going to have to see him again. For Melvin, recently released from a mental institution, is back in town - and weirder than ever.
Melvin hasn't forgotten Vicki either. Nor has he given up trying to bring the dead back to life. In fact, his experiments have been progressing rather well. And as soon as he can get Vicki - or rather her body - where he wants her, he can begin to realise his wildest dream of all...
