Lucas dreams it every night: the rock show, flashy, ear-pounding, chaotic. The frothed-up mob that storms the stage. The death of his daughter Kristen, trampled in a sudden surge of tribal frenzy. In Lucas Ellington's eyes, the audience is blameless. His child was murdered by the main event - Whip Hand, the ultimate party band. The arena disaster in which Kristen was killed causes Whip Hand to disband, but the individual musicians are still out there, alive and kicking. Not for long.

Story4 out of 5 stars 2
Colin Ross, twice thwarted in love, once abandoned, quit the mainland for Haven's End, a wounded soul on an idyllic island, seeking to heal his life. But instead of peace, he is hurled into chaos. Some dark and ancient hatred, some evil force, is unleashed, wreaking vengeance on the islanders, mangling the living, and mutilating the dead. And, as the piercing songs rise to met the roaring wind, Colin Ross, against his will, is sucked into the raging storm.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 45
One day, it starts raining-and never stops. Global super-storms decimate the planet, eradicating most of mankind. Pockets of survivors gather on mountaintops, watching as the waters climb higher and higher. But as the tides rise, something else is rising, too. Now, in the midst of an ecological nightmare, the remnants of humanity face a new menace, in a battle that stretches from the rooftops of submerged cities to the mountaintop islands jutting from the sea. What hope does an already-devastated mankind have against this new supernatural adversary.

In 2003, a Roper Organization survey revealed that 33 million Americans may be abductees. Aliens in the Backyard is their story. One evening in 1981, Connie J Cannon was on I-75 with her young son, en route to their new home in Florida, when they suddenly found themselves on a military base, with a man in uniform holding a gun to her head as three Grays stood nearby. In 1979, Diane Fine was on her way from upstate New York to Vermont to see an obstetrics specialist for her high risk pregnancy, and experienced two hours of missing time. When she was finally examined at the clinic, she was told wasn't pregnant.

An empty train yard at midnight...a small cabin bathed in the light of a full moon...a seedy Skid Row hotel in San Francisco....These are the places where fear lives, where the chill in the air has nothing to do with the temperature, and where Death can be someone you've already met. Collected here for the first time are twenty-six terrifying stories by Bill Pronzini, a master of dark suspense and horror. These chilling stories span nearly three decades in his award-winning career, and most have never been published in book form.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1
There are cultures that apparently flowered for thousands of years. Some of the cultures that we call primitive have already existed for so long that they seem to have no beginning and no end. Could they actually be immortal? Might not the truth be that during past ages, man has often tried to climb the rungs of the ladder that lead to a high immortal culture but has slipped and fallen? Perhaps we are even now in the process of building a culture that will know immortality on Earth and in heaven.

The first victim lived just long enough to describe his attack. First came a deep growling, then a sudden thrust for his throat. He died... convinced he'd been attacked by a werewolf. The grisly murders of Rochester's huge film manufacturing complex puzzled Chief of Detectives Tom McCabe. A werewolf prowling the corridors of the huge facility... attacking middle-management-level employees? Preposterous. But just to be on the safe side, he'd called in Ryerson H. Biergarten, the well-known parapsychologist.

Lives up to the title
Author T.M. Wright does an admirable job of discussing many of the classic cases of the UFO phenomenon of the early 20th century. As the text was written in 1968, you won't find any of the lore that has since developed, such as the stories that now surround Roswell or cases of abduction recalled via hypnosis, but many of the tales will be familiar to anyone who's watched Ancient Aliens, Wright, however, covers these cases without the blind acceptance of claims without corroboration one finds among the "ancient alien theorists" on the History Channel. Narrator Scott Slocum does a great job (though he pronounces UFOlogy in a unusual fashion). I look forward to listening to more of his work. This audiobook was received free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review.

What an app title!
Whoever name this book got it right on the money. This is a great God do UFO and alien sightings. The questions I ask and the answers that are given seem to be perfectly thought out or backed up by FAT Terry and I don’t know how anyone can read this but especially the part about the Foo Fighters and say that UFOs did not exist. Let’s keep in line UFOs or on a dinner fied flying objects so if you say UFOs do not exist this means you can identify every object flying in the sky and I don’t believe anyone can do that. Let’s also keep in mind these UFOs have been flying around since the days of Benjamin Franklin because Yacs he even saw a UFO. I digress that this book is great and anyone who likes UFOs and aliens will love this book.
