                                        encounters four sisters, who are each unique in a
                                        provocative way.

                                        "A handsome stranger appears and no one can find
                                        a decent dress to wear," laments Noor. Noor, their
                                        mother, is married to her fourth husband, the owner
                                        of a eucalyptus plantation who is murdered. The
                                        murder mystery may be solved, but what of the four
                                        daughters?

                                        Down what forbidden path, winding into the
                                        dark unknown—for their love is forbidden—do Cary

                                        Along the Mississippi River lies a swampy island, haunted
                                        by an old plantation that was abandoned during the 1800s.
                                        An asylum was later built onto the house where bizarre
                                        experiments were performed. The asylum, too, was
                                        abandoned after the 1940s. Even so, weird tales remain of
                                        men being made into monkeys.

                                        A Russian mail-order bride lands in the Mississippi Delta. Kat has
                                        secret reasons for coming to America. But she has no
                                        intention of staying with her prospective husband, Joe
                                        Leigh, a pilot.

                                Politicians are regularly flown from the Delta to a secret location in
                                        Arkansas, a motel where politicians are bribed, drugged,
                                        and soothed with live entertainment.

                                        Joe who refuses any involvement in the Arkansas
                                        skulduggery is compromised nonetheless, and both he
                                        and Kat are endangered. Ahead of them looms that bizarre
                                        island and a dark presence of unfathomable evil.

                                         Haunting the Baltic nation of Latvia is a creeping monster.

                                            A matchbook cover is found in pursuit of this sadist that
                                            says "Sioux Falls, South Dakota."   Missing is a Lutheran
                                            missionary. Her brother Luke is compelled to travel to
                                            Latvia in search of her, leaving his girlfriend Constance
                                            behind. Constance has begun a prison ministry in the
                                            South Dakota State Penitentiary.

                                            But a stalker begins menacing her, a dark figure from
                                            the past, who threatens to reveal an ugly secret about
                                            her that no one must know. Meanwhile, the creeping
                                            monster continues to horrify Latvia.

                                            Luke and a woman with whom he has fallen deeply in
                                            love stumble across The Creeper's den in the mediæval
                                            city of Riga, witnessing a chamber of horrors!

                                            Fate plays a double hand in the shocking denouement
                                            of this romantic but cruel tale.

                                               Told is a tale of horror, passionate love, and death in
                                               the lust for ancient emeralds!

                                                Jeb, a lecturer at Harvard, is sent on a mission to
                                                plumb the mystery of these emeralds. He and his
                                                strangely aloof housekeeper, Lucy, enter a rainforest
                                                where Indians have been tortured for centuries, a
                                                place called the Devil's Paradise. A Monster guards
                                                these emeralds for which the eyes of humans are
                                                sacrificed.

                                                Only after a cruel twist of fate is the shocking
                                                truth of this green horror revealed!

                                    Haunted by the horror of death, expelled from military
                                    school as an undesirable, Kiltie Hartley emerges from a
                                    troubled past. He is sent to an Episcopalian school in
                                    the Tidewater of eastern Virginia.
                                            Fall is rich with reds and browns, the winter deep
                                    with blue snow; the last days of spring are warmly
                                    green, the air perfumed with mown grass. He wins
                                    Varsity letters running track, and does well in class, though
                                    his real interests are artwork and girls.
                                            Boys tolerate him at first and he them. Still after
                                    four years, it is apparent that he does not fit into the
                                    conventional society celebrated by prep school. Kiltie
                                    is not a humanitarian; neither is he a lover of people,
                                    unless possibly female. He does, however, take on
                                    controversial issues in a setting where controversy is
                                    feared.
                                            His final year at a public high school is darkened by
                                    deepening alienation. He is given a Rorschach test by a
                                    psychologist who is stunned by the results. Eventually
                                    the boy sees a psychiatrist.
                                            The shadow of death which swallowed him up during
                                    his early life catches up with him again the following year
                                    in college. Like a snake, death coils itself around him,
                                    suffocating him in its grip. Resistance—not wanting to be
                                    forced to do anything by anyone—pitches him into another
                                    direction.
                                            Far from home, the boy travels, physically and
                                    emotionally. He survives.
                                            Is that all?
                                            No. He survives in style!
