In the years since the wave of living death swept the globe, St George and his fellow heroes haven't just kept Los Angeles' last humans alive--they've created a real community, a bustling town that's spreading beyond its original walls and swelling with new refugees. But now one of the heroes, perhaps the most powerful among them, seems to be losing his mind. The implacable enemy known as Legion has found terrifying new ways of using zombies as pawns in his attacks. And outside the Mount, something ancient and monstrous is hell-bent on revenge.

The Exorcist: A Novel
by William Peter BlattyOriginally published in 1971, The Exorcist, one of the most controversial novels ever written, went on to become a literary phenomenon: It spent fifty-seven weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, seventeen consecutively at number one. Inspired by a true story of a child's demonic possession in the 1940s, William Peter Blatty created an iconic novel that focuses on Regan, the eleven-year-old daughter of a movie actress residing in Washington, D.C. A small group of overwhelmed yet determined individuals must rescue Regan from her unspeakable fate, and the drama that ensues is gripping and unfailingly terrifying. Two years after its publication, The Exorcist was, of course, turned into a wildly popular motion picture, garnering ten Academy Award nominations. On opening day of the film, lines of the novel's fans stretched around city blocks. In Chicago, frustrated moviegoers used a battering ram to gain entry through the double side doors of a theater. In Kansas City, police used tear gas to disperse an impatient crowd who tried to force their way into a cinema. The three major television networks carried footage of these events; CBS's Walter Cronkite devoted almost ten minutes to the story. The Exorcist was, and is, more than just a novel and a film: it is a true landmark. Purposefully raw and profane, The Exorcist still has the extraordinary ability to disturb readers and cause them to forget that it is "just a story." Published here in this beautiful fortieth anniversary edition, it remains an unforgettable reading experience and will continue to shock and frighten a new generation of readers.
Exorcist: The Beginning
by Caleb Carr Steven Piziks William WisherBASED ON THE FILM FROM THE ACCLAIMED DIRECTOR OF AUTO FOCUS AND AFFLICTION, AND FROM THE WRITER OF THE ALIENIST In the aftermath of World War II, Lankester Merrin finds himself in the remote Turkana region of Kenya.

Madness descends on the local villagers and the contingent of British soldiers sent to guard the excavation. Merrin watches helplessly as the atrocities of war are repeated against another innocent village -- atrocities he'd hoped to never see again. The blood of innocents flows freely on the East African plain, but the horror has only just begun....
The Exorcist Legacy: 50 Years of Fear
by Nat SegaloffThe definitive, fascinating story of the scariest film ever made and its enduring impact in Hollywood and beyond—from the director&’s biographer comes a must-read for horror fans and cinema buffs, just in time for the movie&’s 50th anniversary and the release of the first movie in a new Exorcist trilogy. Includes a foreword by John Russo, author and cowriter of the seminal horror film Night of the Living Dead. On December 26, 1973, The Exorcist was released. Within days it had become legend. Moviegoers braved hours-long lines in winter weather to see it. Some audience members famously fainted or vomited. Half a century later, the movie that both inspired and transcends the modern horror genre has lost none of its power to terrify and unsettle. The Exorcist Legacy reveals the complete story of this cultural phenomenon, from the real-life exorcism in 1949 Maryland that inspired William Peter Blatty&’s bestselling novel on which the movie is based, to its many sequels, prequels, TV series, and homages. Nat Segaloff, biographer of the film&’s director, William Friedkin, draws on original interviews with cast, crew, and participants as well as revelations from personal papers to present an intriguing and surprising new view of the making of the movie, and its aftermath. Segaloff also examines as never before the keys to the movie&’s enduring appeal. Friedkin and Blatty&’s goal was far more ambitious than making a scary movie; they aimed to make people &“think about the concept of good and evil.&” The Exorcist succeeds, and then some, not just by creating on-screen scares, but by challenging viewers&’ deepest personal beliefs—and fears.

La expedición
by Stephen KingUna vez más, Stephen King nos ofrece atmósferas sobrecogedoras y emociones incontrolables a través de los relatos reunidos en este libro. Ya nadie disputa a Stephen King el primer puesto en la literatura de terror: sus muchos millones de lectores son prueba fehaciente de ello. Su brillante imaginación revela las sombras que subyacen en lo evidente y hace que todos nos sintamos menos seguros de la realidad. «La expedición», que da título a este volumen de escalofriantes cuentos, advierte angustiosamente contra los riesgos de la curiosidad; la anciana de la «Abuela» quizá no sea la compañía adecuada para un niño cuando este queda aislado en una casa distante; el protagonista de «Superviviente» no tiene nada que comer, excepto...; y la locura está agazapada en la máquina de escribir del redactor de «La balada del proyectil flexible»...

Experimental Film
by Gemma FilesAn obscure piece of silent film draws a woman into madness in this “remarkable achievement” by the “Canadian horror luminary” (Los Angeles Review of Books). Former film critic Lois Cairns is fired from her teaching job just when her son Clark is diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Caught in a depressive spiral, Lois is convinced she’s a failure who’s spent her adult life writing about other people’s dreams without ever pursuing her own. Then Lois attends a program of experimental film—and notices what might be a major discovery. Could an early twentieth-century socialite who mysteriously disappeared also have been one of Canada’s first female movie-makers? A sampled piece of silver nitrate silent film footage might prove Lois’s case. But soon, Lois’s quest to discover the truth about Mrs. A. Macalla Whitcomb reveals troubling links between her subject’s life and her own. As the malign influence of Whitcomb’s muse creeps into Lois’s life, even her son is endangered. Increasingly ill and unstable, Lois is tormented by an existential nightmare that’s part Wendish folklore and part cinematic hallucination projected off the screen and into real life.
Experimental Film
by Gemma FilesThe award-winning author of the Hexslinger Series &“explores the world of film and horror in a way that will leave you reeling&” (Jeff VanderMeer, author of the Southern Reach Trilogy). Former film teacher Lois Cairns is struggling to raise her autistic son while freelancing as a critic when, at a screening, she happens upon a sampled piece of silver nitrate silent footage. She is able to connect it to the early work of Mrs. Iris Dunlopp Whitcomb, the spiritualist and collector of fairy tales who mysteriously disappeared from a train compartment in 1918. Hoping to make her own mark on the film world, Lois embarks on a project to prove that Whitcomb was Canada&’s first female filmmaker. But her research takes her down a path not of darkness but of light—the blinding and searing light of a fairy tale made flesh, a noontime demon who demands that duty must be paid. As Lois discovers terrifying parallels between her own life and that of Mrs. Whitcomb, she begins to fear not just for herself, but for those closest to her heart. Winner of the Shirley Jackson Award for Best Novel &“One of the standout horror novels of 2015 . . . From an author who has already established herself as one of the genre&’s most original and innovative voices, Experimental Film is a remarkable achievement.&” —Los Angeles Review of Books &“Experimental Film represents the next, significant contribution to what is emerging as one of the most interesting and exciting bodies of work currently being produced in the horror field. Every film, Lois Cairns writes, is an experiment. The same might be said of every novel. This one succeeds, wildly.&” —Locus &“Experimental Film is sensational. When we speak of the best in contemporary horror and weird fiction, we must speak of Gemma Files.&” —Laird Barron
