The Elementals
Michael McDowell Β· 2014
After a bizarre and disturbing incident at the funeral of matriarch Marian Savage, the McCray and Savage families look forward to a restful and relaxing summer at Beldame, on Alabama's Gulf Coast, where three Victorian houses loom over the shimmering beach. Two of the houses are habitable, while the third is slowly and mysteriously being buried beneath an enormous dune of blindingly white sand. But though long uninhabited, the third house is not empty. Inside, something deadly lies in wait. Something that has terrified Dauphin Savage and Luker McCray since they were boys and which still haunts their nightmares. Something horrific that may be responsible for several terrible and unexplained deaths years earlier - and is now ready to kill again ...<br/><br/>A haunted house story unlike any other, Michael McDowell's The Elementals (1981) was one of the finest novels to come out of the horror publishing explosion of the 1970s and '80s. Though best known for his screenplays for Tim Burton's Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas, McDowell is now being rediscovered as one of the best modern horror writers and a master of Southern Gothic literature. This edition of McDowell's masterpiece of terror features a new introduction by award-winning horror author Michael Rowe. Seven other horror classics by Michael McDowell are available from Valancourt Books.<br/><br/>"The finest writer of paperback originals in America." - Stephen King "Surely one of the most terrifying novels ever written." - Poppy Z. Brite<br/><br/>"Beyond any trace of doubt, one of the best writers of horror in this or any other country." - Peter Straub<br/><br/>"Readers of weak constitution should beware!" - Publishers Weekly<br/><br/>"McDowell has a flair for the gruesome." - Washington Post

The Little Friend
Donna Tartt Β· 2003
<b>NATIONAL BESTSELLER β’ From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of <i>The Goldfinch</i> comes an utterly riveting novel set in Mississippi of childhood, innocence, and evil. β’Β βDestined to become a special kind of classic.β β<i>The New York Times Book Review<br></i></b><br>The setting is Alexandria, Mississippi, where one Motherβs Day a little boy named Robin Cleve Dufresnes was found hanging from a tree in his parentsβ yard. Twelve years later Robinβs murder is still unsolved and his family remains devastated. So it is that Robinβs sister Harrietβunnervingly bright, insufferably determined, and unduly influenced by the fiction of Kipling and Robert Louis Stevenson--sets out to unmask his killer. Aided only by her worshipful friend Hely, Harriet crosses her townβs rigid lines of race and caste and burrows deep into her familyβs history of loss. Filled with hairpin turns of plot and βa bustling, ridiculous humanity worthy of Dickensβ (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>), <i>The Little Friend</i> is a work of myriad enchantments by a writer of prodigious talent.
