Island of the Dolls (World's scariest places #04)
Par Jeremy Bates. 2016
"Deep within an ancient Aztec canal system on the outskirts of Mexico City lies Isla de las Munecas...a reportedly haunted…

Par Brian McAuley. 2022
"Decades after playing the titular killer in the 80s horror franchise Night of the Reaper, Howard Browning has been reduced…
to signing autographs for his dwindling fanbase at genre conventions. When the studio announces a series reboot, the aging thespian is crushed to learn he's being replaced in the iconic role by heartthrob Trevor Mane, a former sitcom child-star who's fresh out of rehab. Trevor is determined to stay sober and revamp his image while Howard refuses to let go of the character he created, setting the stage for a cross-generational clash over the soul of a monster. But as Howard fights to reclaim his legacy, the sinister alter ego consumes his unraveling mind, pushing him to the brink of violence. Is the method actor succumbing to madness or has the devilish Reaper taken on a life of its own?" -- Provided by publisherThe house of drought
Par Dennis Mombauer. 2022
"On the island of Sri Lanka, a colonial mansion stands between the forest and the paddy fields. It has seen…
inhabitants come and go as the days grow hotter and the harvests fail. It is a dry house, a hungry place that shifts upside-down inside its shell. The house is a labyrinth of banging pipes, of bulging stomachs, and of salt-littered floors. A glass of water opens a doorway here. A running tap attracts the house's unquenchable thirst. From the surrounding forest, the Sap Mother watches. She visits the house, squeezes through its holes, and burrows below its foundations, learning from the house and those that live there, demanding recompense for what was taken from her." -- Provided by publisherRabia y perdición (Harbinger. Spanish #02)
Par Jennifer L Armentrout. 2021
"All of humankind may fall if Trinity and Zayne can't win the race against time as dark forces gather. As…
tensions rise, they must stay close together and patrol the DC streets at night, seeking signs of the Harbinger, an entity that is killing Wardens and demons with no seeming rhyme or reason. Forbidden to be with each other, Zayne and Trinity fight their feelings and turn to unusual sources for help-the demon Roth and his cohorts. But as deaths pile up and they uncover a sinister plot involving the local high school and endangering someone dear to Zayne, Trin realizes she is being led...herded...played for some unknown end. As anger builds and feelings spiral out of control, it becomes clear that rage may be the ruin of them all." -- GoodreadsThe seven moons of Maali Almeida
Par Shehan Karunatilaka. 2023
"Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida--war photographer, gambler, and closet queen--has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office.…
His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira Lake and he has no idea who killed him. In a country where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers, and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest. But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to the photos that will rock Sri Lanka." -- Provided by publisherAlways practice safe hex (Stay a spell #04)
Par Juliette Cross. 2022
"Livvy Savoie is a people person. Not only does she have the magical gift of persuasion, but her natural charisma…
charms everyone she meets. She hasn't met a person she didn't like. Until her annoyingly brilliant competitor walks through the door. No matter how hard she denies it, loathing isn't the only emotion she feels for him. Grim reaper Gareth Blackwater is rarely, if ever, moved beyond his broody, stoic state. But the witch he's partnered with in the public relations contest is destroying his peace of mind. He's convinced that the flesh-melting attraction he feels for her is merely her witchy magic at work. But forced proximity proves there is more than magic sparking between them. Livvy learns this enigmatic grim's abilities are beyond any supernatural she has ever known. And when Livvy becomes the obsessive target of a dangerous warlock, Gareth proves just how powerful he truly is. Because no one is going to hurt his Lavinia." -- Provided by publisherEl Hermano: A Novel By Carmen Baca
Par Carmen Baca. 2017
"El Hermano takes place during the forty days of Lent in 1928 as José and his cousins conspire to spy…
on one of the brotherhood's secret rituals to see what lies ahead for them as novices. José knows his time to join the Cofridías (of which his own father is Hermano Mayor) is near, but having seen Hermanos who appear to be in pain after a night spent at the morada, a meeting house and chapel, and having heard stories about those who even died in the past because of whatever went on within the sacred structure, his fear guides him to join his cousins in their clandestine scheme. Little do they know, certain New Mexican legends conspire against them; La Muerte, Saint Death, warns José to leave his future unknown, a ball of fire thought to be a witch crosses their path, and even la Llorona, ghost of the Weeping Woman, and el Diablo, the Devil make an appearance."--Amazon.com.

Par Amy Boyles. 2022
"When three mysterious people move to Peachwood, all of whom exhibit magical powers, Clem and Rufus are on high alert.…
You see, they had been warned that the Clearers, an order intent on destroying witches and wizards, are coming to their town with one goal--to end witchcraft in Peachwood. This leaves Clem with one question--who is the Clearer? Is it the preacher creating miracles at First Baptist? Or the barista whose every coffee concoction overflows with magic? Or could the owner of the new sporting goods shop be the one that Clem and Rufus are looking for? As their investigation deepens, chaos ensues. Media coverage of Peachwood reveals what folks really think about the witches and wizards in town--and y'all, it ain't good. And when catastrophe strikes, Clem finds herself flying solo, without a wingman for help. Will she uncover the Clearer before they overtake her town? Or will Clem find herself on the wrong side of magic?" -- Provided by publisherLos poderosos lo quieren todo (Nuevos tiempos (Madrid, Spain) #328)
Par José María Guelbenzu. 2016
"Hermógenes Arbusto, tax adviser and successful businessman, sees death enter his office one day, and, reacting quickly, manages to dodge…
the blow of the scythe, rushes to the door, leaves in a hurry, and locks and deadbolts it behind him, leaving the reaper locked inside. Shortly after, and while he is getting his wits about him in Madrid's Plaza Mayor, he reaches a Faustian pact with the devil, the distinguished Forcas (with permission to travel to Earth), to whom he sells his soul in order to be free, at least temporarily, from meeting the Cold Lady again. Meanwhile, Tomás Beovide, poet and Literature teacher at the Juan García Hortelano Secondary School, corrects exams, laments the abandonment of his girlfriend, grieves happily over his unhappy love encounter with Maribel Arbusto and consoles himself by listening with joy to the long-suffering love songs of his admired Julie London. And we don't go on counting because everything that follows is pure nonsense, a narrative implausibility where a wild and stubborn nonsense builds its own logic until it blows any reasonable expectation or argument out of the water." -- Translation provided by NLSPrey (Shifters #04)
