Making Love
by Melanie Tem Nancy Holder"A novel of sex and horror," this book is not so much about the physical act of "Making Love," but the unexplainable manner of "making people" to love--a man, two girl toddlers, eight almost identical young boys... Once Charlotte Tobias was a prim and severe schoolteacher, wielding her red pencil, writing to imaginary lovers and hiding the letters in a closet. Then, on the night of her fortiety birthday, Charlotte dreamed of love, and her life would never be the same again. He came to her, her own creation, bold and dark, naked and rippling with muscles. She named him Phanes. She gave him poetry and curiosity, and let him make love to her in ways and places she could never have imagined. She let him awaken her and change her and take her to the edge of her fantasies... But now Charlotte is losing control of her perfect lover. Her creation is leading her on a voyage through madness and anger and loss, revealing to Charlotte what truths lie just beyond her consciousness, what horrors can grow in the absence of a soul...

The Making of Horror Movies: Key Figures who Established the Genre
by Jennifer SelwayTraces society’s changing preoccupations as reflected in horror films, including biographies of all your favorite, classic horror stars.Horror films divide opinion. It wasn’t until 1973 that a horror film (The Exorcist) was nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture and many respected critics still regard them with amused condescension. The public’s view is also sharply divided. Some cinema goers revel in the thought of being made very, very afraid, while some just don’t like horror films because they don’t want to be frightened. This guide, which is for both the fan and the more faint-hearted, steers an illuminating path through a genre that has, since the early days of cinema, split off into many sub-divisions - folk horror, slasher movies, Hammer, sci-fi horror, psychological thrillers, zombie movies, among others. Times change but movie-makers can always find a way to tap into what we fear and dread, whether it’s blood-sucking vampires or radioactive mutations, evil children or the living dead. This book also gives concise biographies of the many actors and directors who saw their careers – for better or worse – defined by their association with horror movies, and who created a genre that is instantly recognisable in all its forms and continues to find new and ingenious ways of scaring us in the dark.

Malcolm: A Romance (The Cullen Collection #16)
by George MacDonaldA masterpiece of mystery and spiritual power from one of the Victorian era&’s greatest writers, the Scottish author who inspired C. S. Lewis. This towering 1875 novel, set in the Scottish fishing village of Cullen, is considered by many as George MacDonald&’s fictional masterwork. The intricate tale is more true to place than any of MacDonald&’s books. As Malcolm is drawn into the web of secrets surrounding majestic Lossie House, with the marquis of Lossie and his tempestuous daughter Florimel at the center of them, we meet some of MacDonald&’s most memorable characters. Through them Malcolm must unravel many mysteries that hang over the town and its people—and himself. The Scottish dialect is more impenetrable than in many of MacDonald&’s other Scottish novels, and has been translated into readable English in this newly updated edition by MacDonald&’s biographer Michael Phillips. Calling it a &“masterpiece of plot, drama, mystery, characterization, and spiritual depth,&” it was Malcolm which in the 1970s set Phillips on his life&’s-work to acquaint the world with MacDonald&’s forgotten legacy through new editions of MacDonald&’s work. Phillips says, &“Malcolm is always an ideal choice for new readers to begin a deeper acquaintance with MacDonald,&” especially as it is set in the locale from which The Cullen Collection of new editions derives its name. Phillips&’s lengthy informative introduction sets Malcolm&’s story colorfully into the context of MacDonald&’s two 1870s visits to Cullen. Phillips also provides readers new to the works of MacDonald with a historical overview of the Scotsman&’s writing and significance.

Maleficium
by Fred A. Reed Martine Desjardins David HomelMartine Desjardins delivers to readers of Maleficium the unexpurgated revelations of Vicar Jerome Savoie, a heretic priest in nineteenth century Montreal. Braving threats from the Catholic Church, Savoie dares to violate the sanctity of the confessional in this confession-within-a-confession, in which seven penitents, each afflicted with a debilitating malady or struck with a crippling deformity, relates his encounter with an enigmatic young woman whose lips bear a striking scar.As these men penetrate deep into the exotic Orient, each falls victim to his own secret vice. One treks through Ethiopia in search of wingless locusts. Another hunts for fly-whisks among the clove plantations of Zanzibar. Yet others bargain for saffron in a Srinagar bazaar, search for the rarest frankincense, and pursue the coveted hawksbill turtle in the Sea of Oman. Two more seek the formula for sabon Nablus in Palestine or haggle over Persian carpets in the royal gardens of Shiraz. The men's individual forms of punishment, revealed through the agency of the young woman, are wrought upon their bodies.Baroque in its complexity, Kafka-like in its inexorable mechanics, Maleficium by turns astonishes, amuses, and beguiles. Then author Martine Desjardins's Vicar Savoie-as in any confession worth its communion wafer-saves the best (or worst) for last.Maleficium won the Prix Jacques Brossard and was a finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award (French Fiction), the Prix des libraires du Québec, the Prix des cinq continents de la Francophonie, and the Prix France-Québec.
