Depuis trente-cinq ans, Bruno Frye vit dans l'ombre de sa mère, qui lui inspire une sainte terreur. Morte depuis cinq ans, elle continue à lui murmurer à l'oreille... et lui intime de tuer. Sa prochaine victime est toute désignée : Hilary Thomas. Peut-être parce qu'elle est scénariste à Hollywood, la police ne croit pas la jeune femme, qui se dit en grand danger. Hilary n'a alors d'autre choix que de se défendre elle-même lorsque Frye l'agresse de nouveau. Et, par accident, elle le tue. Elle commence à peine à se remettre de cet horrible cauchemar que Bruno Frye réapparaît ! Pourtant, c'est bien connu, les morts ne ressuscitent pas...

La Nuit des cafards

Intensite

In  ELSEWHERE , master storyteller Dean Koontz, has created a brilliant and terrifying speculative thriller with hat-tips to George Orwell, Ray Bradbury and HG Wells.  In the little South Californian town of Suavidad Beach, Jeff Coltrane is raising his daughter Amity on his own, ever since his wife Michelle went missing seven years ago. He''s doing a pretty good job of it, and though Amity misses her mom she pours her excess love into her pet mouse Snowball: she''s on a promise for her own puppy if she proves she can take good care of the mouse.  Then one day their itinerant friend Ed - known locally as ''Mr Spooky'' - hands into Jeff''s care a small box containing ''the key to everything'', with the warning that it''s worth around $76 billion, and that he has a demonic posse on his tail searching for it, and that because it''s both so powerful and so valuable, they''ll never give up their quest to get their hands on it. He''ll come back for it in a year: but on no account during that time is Jeff to open the box. Jeff quickly hides it away, which is just as well, since some sinister ''federal'' agents soon turn up on his doorstep, making threats and looking for Ed.  With his beloved wife missing,having the key to everything in his possession proves to be just too much of a temptation for Jeff, and not long afterwards he opens the box and activates the key.  It seems, to begin with, that nothing has changed; but then he starts to notice subtle differences around the house, and outside, the weather has changed and they appear to have different neighbours. Down in the town, everything is a little more shabby. In the park, Amity kicks over some pebbles, before realising they are bloodied teeth. There''s the smell of burning books on the air. And up on the ridgeline overlooking the town, thirteen large crows are perched like the living totems of a clan of malicious wizards...  The screen of the key reads ELSEWHERE 1.13. It offers three options: HOME, SELECT or RETURN.  Somewhere out there in the multiverse, Michelle - adored wife and mother - is still alive. But dare Jeff and Amity - and Snowball - use the key to track her down, with the demonic posse after them and unknown terrors in the other versions of their world?

The Darkest Evening of the Year

Heart-stopping supernatural thriller from the master of suspense. Addison Goodheart is not like other people.

 Addison Goodheart lives in solitude beneath the city, an exile from a society which will destroy him if he is ever seen.

 Books are his refuge and his escape: he embraces the riches they have to offer. By night he leaves his hidden chambers and, through a network of storm drains and service tunnels, makes his way into the central library.

 And that is where he meets Gwyneth, who, like Addison, also hides her true appearance and struggles to trust anyone.

 But the bond between them runs deeper than the tragedies that have scarred their lives. Something more than chance - and nothing less than destiny - has brought them together in a world whose hour of reckoning is fast approaching.
