"Dark Sister"
by Graham Joyce
A young couple living in a Victorian townhouse in the British Midlands discovers a diary hidden behind the fireplace, filled with ancient Wiccan lore and spells best left unread. "Dark Sister" is Graham Joyce's third novel published in the U.S., and is now available in paperback.

"Fatalis"
by Jeff Rovin
In "Vespers," Jeff Rovin wrote of killer bats that made mincemeat out of innocent New Yorkers, and in "Fatalis" nature has run amok yet again. This time, giant saber-toothed tigers are butchering the poor citizens of L.A in a frenzy of fur, blood, and great big pointy teeth.

"Cradle and All"
by James Patterson
Virgin births, Satan, exorcisms, and a heinous disease that wipes out children are all part of James Patterson's apocalyptic landscape in "Cradle and All." A reworking of his 1980 novel "Virgin," this remodeled version remains a classic tale of good versus evil.

"Frankenstein"
by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
"Frankenstein," loved by readers for almost two centuries and praised by such eminent literary critics as Harold Bloom, seems hardly to need a recommendation.
