Apocalypse Island

Lisa Jackson

Ash Arceneaux

There are places that hold evil, houses so vile, so tainted, that people refuse to live in them. Farnham House is one of those places. Once an inn, this majestic old New England manor house is back on the market, and the price is very reasonable. Sam Cabot is a man tired of moving. Now he wants nothing more than to live a quiet life in the country with his wife and young son. Little does he know that he will soon begin a long, slow descent into madness and that he will spend his summer living with dead things.

The Haunting of Sam Cabot

For centuries their children have been taken from them by something unspeakable and the residents of James Village have remained strangely apathetic. Now there are several new residents in town and the little ones are beginning to come back

The Lost Village

The Brotherhood of the Order is one of the oldest and most mysterious organizations on earth. Those who know of their existence are few. Fewer still understand who they are; a band of brothers once known as the Knights Templar. Persecuted and murdered for their beliefs, the ultra-secret Order has survived the ages to protect one of the most carefully guarded secrets in human history, an object so enigmatic and powerful that in the wrong hands it could wreak havoc upon the earth. In the right hands it just might have the power to save humanity from its own destructive impulses. Doug McArthur, hit in the face by a young friend at the age of seven, is suddenly able to see a supernatural creature who calls itself Collector. Doug's life is turned upside down when he realizes that it's not just the creature he sees, but the atrocities it commits. Since marrying Annie his visions have been quiet and Doug is grateful. Now Annie is pregnant with their first child--a child who promises to be special--and their world is in the process of coming apart, beginning with the destruction of their home and forcing them to run for their lives, back into the world of Annie's childhood, the De Roché dynasty, to a murdered mother and a cruel and enigmatic father. Doug, whose love for Annie borders on the obsessive, has a deep and abiding hate for her father. He is nearly insane with grief over their plight, but soon finds that De Roché is the least of his worries when he begins to hear the pleading voice of a lost child that he cannot possibly save. And then, in the midst of Annie's mother's funeral, Doug is given a strange artifact along with a dire warning by a dying priest. The artifact, purported to be the tip of the spear that pierced Christ's rib cage at the crucifixion, is only part of the story, for Doug must take the artifact, leave Annie and his unborn child and begin a sojourn into the darkest regions of the human heart. In his attempt to save his wife and unborn child, Doug finds that there is much more at stake than the lives of two people, perhaps the very salvation of the human soul.

A Supernatural Thriller

Sarah Jameson Landry and her five year old daughter, Annabelle, haunted by the same insistent voice, embark on a reluctant journey to find their ancestral home. What they discover is a strange little village that has somehow gone adrift from the rest of the world. They uncover a horrifying legacy of missing children that dates back hundreds of years, and in the process learn the terrible secrets of their own ancestral past. Michael Bannon, haunted by his own demons, has come to James Village in search of anonymity. What he finds is that he can never outrun the terrible mistakes of the past. Michael discovers also that he is, in some incomprehensible way, connected to Sarah and the child Annabelle. They form an alliance with a small group of friends, villagers, who like themselves are tired of being afraid, and resign themselves to the task of seeking the truth regardless of its consequences. Together they embark on a terrifying quest to destroy the evil that lies at the center of all their lives. The Lost Village is an epic journey into the unknown, encompassing dramas of seduction and death, episodes of tenderness and miraculous healing. It is an allegory about the deeds that men do and the secrets that they keep, a parable of innocence against the corruption of the soul, of sanity against madness, of triumph against all odds. And it gives us a rare glimpse into the dark superstition and aching loneliness that lies deep inside the core of all humankind.
