Rend (Washington, Dead City #2)
by Brian ParkerThe nation’s capital has fallen to the zombies in the series that started with Gnash, “a mashup of Stephen King, Tom Clancy, and just a dash of Dan Brown” (Larry Duane, host of Not Ready for Radio).Six years ago, the president made the difficult decision to abandon Washington to the undead—and The Wall was built to keep them trapped inside. Now, a new presidential election revives the hopes of the nation as one candidate promises to retrieve the Declaration of Independence and Constitution from behind The Wall.Retired CIA operative Asher Hawke, AKA the Kestrel, agrees to lead a team to recover the national treasures. But when they insert behind The Wall, they discover that organized crime families have been stealing priceless artwork and cash—as well as disposing of bodies . . .Praise for the thrillers of Brian Parker“Gnash is an action-packed read that’s as scary a nest of black widow spiders taking up residence in your bedroom.” —The Bookie Monster“Parker did a wonderful job of creating a seedy Noir future setting which invokes Blade Runner without copying it.” —C.T. Phipps, author of the Supervillainy Saga“These characters are so well rounded and perfect in their imperfection it feels incredibly real as you read it.” —J.B. Havens, author of the Steel Corps series“With A Path of Ashes, Brian Parker has taken a major step toward becoming a leader in Post-Apocalyptic fiction.” —W.J. Lundy, author of the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot series

As the editors note, "In the grey zone between what appears and what is, lies horror. But horror writing is also a certain disposition, a way of thinking based on a suspicion regarding the world as it is given to us, and a doubt regarding the accepted ways of explaining that world to us - and for us."The Repeater Book of the Occult includes introductions by Repeater authors such as Leila Taylor, Carl Neville, Rhian E Jones, and Elvia Wilk, and features horror classics by Algernon Blackwood, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Edgar Allan Poe, as well as forgotten gems by authors such as W.W. Jacobs, Mark Twain, and Sheridan Le Fanu.

Au cours d’une séance de spiritisme, les participants reçoivent un avertissement énigmatique depuis le royaume des esprits. Alors que le jour de la représentation approche, Jeremy comprend que ce morceau contient peut-être la clé d’un immense pouvoir – un pouvoir pour lequel certains seraient prêts à tuer.
