A Best Horror Book of the Year (Esquire)! • A Bram Stoker Award Nominee! A terrifying Gothic thriller about grief and death and the depths of a father's love, Johnny Compton's The Spite House is a stunning debut by a horror master in the making—The Babadook meets A Head Full of Ghosts in Texas Hill Country. Eric Ross is on the run from a mysterious past with his two daughters in tow. When he comes across an ad for a caretaker for the Masson House, Eric hopes they have finally caught a lucky break. The owner of the “most haunted place in Texas” is looking for proof of paranormal activity. All they need to do is stay in the house and keep a detailed record of everything that happens there—provided the house’s horrors don’t drive them all mad, like the caretakers before them. The job calls to Eric, not just because of the huge payout, but because he needs access to the secrets of the spite house. If it is indeed haunted, maybe it will help him understand the uncanny power that clings to his family, driving them from town to town, too afraid to stop running...

Pvt. Robert Garwood was a jeep driver for a Marine Intelligence unit when he was taken captive by the Vietcong in 1965. Col. Tom McKenny was assigned to seek out and terminate American traitors--including a missing private named Garwood. In this incredible real-life account, Jensen-Stevenson exposes one of the cruelest cover-ups of the war, and pleads an eloquent case for the innocence of Bobby Garwood, who was finally returned to his country--more than six years after the last American POW had been allegedly released--not to face a hero's welcome, but unfounded accusations of treachery, a court-martial and disgrace.W. Norton.

Poetry. "THE SPITE HOUSE is a book of dark vision and broad range, haunted by intimacy and anger, by a fierce fidelity to truth and to the elusiveness of truth, by emotional, spiritual, cultural, and political landscapes that are finally inseparable aspects of a single extended investigation. These pages' season is late winter, when only a few rare swellings on the branches hint that change may come, even as an encasing ice glitters its own shard-sharp illuminations" Jane Hirshfield."

WELCOME TO SPITE HOUSE There's an island up in Gold Country at the northern end of Snapdragon Lake. It's named Manchester for the family that owns it, but the locals call it Spite Island. There's a single lonely mansion on that island and a group of authors have been invited to write about its ghosts and its mysteries. But the real mystery is, who will survive this luxurious but deadly retreat? A Cursed House Not long after the Civil War, Ruthia and Solomon Manchester bought a lonely island in northern California where they built a magnificent home and a resort that became a renowned Gilded Age getaway. But the locals shunned the place, calling it Spite Island. They said it was cursed. Today, only Agnes Manchester and her companion occupy the property. Having fallen on hard times, Agnes has agreed to reopen the resort on the condition that she and her ancestral ghosts remain undisturbed in their private home. Before renovations begin, she invites a group of authors to stay in the house and write about its history. As the guests explore the secrets of the mansion, they never suspect what awaits them in the shifting shadows. Spite House has deadly plans of its own ...

A carving of General Lee on the back of the Lincoln monument, the birth of lobbying at the Willard Hotel, a romantic gesture that built the distinctive homes of Capitol Hill--these are legends of Washington, D.C. The capital is home to all manner of colorful rumors and tall tales. According to local lore, the missing J Street was L'Enfant's snub to Supreme Court justice John Jay, and the course of history could have been changed if only a young baseball player named Fidel Castro had accepted a contract with the Washington Senators. In search of the truth behind these legends and more, local guide and writer Robert S. Pohl takes readers on a tour of the historic lore and urban legends that surround the monuments, neighborhood streets and even the Metro stations of Washington, D.C.

Time has all but forgotten the tragic tales of those who have passed through Nevada, but their spirits remain. As arguably the most haunted state in the nation, Nevada has more than its share of ghosts with intriguing stories and historical connections. Among them is the unfortunate gangster, Bugsy Siegel who died in Beverly Hills only to return to his old stomping grounds, the Flamingo Las Vegas; Julia Bulette, the ill-fated prostitute who was slaughtered in her bed on a cold January morning in 1867; and the many haunted houses in Reno, their owners forever tied to their homes, refusing to depart.

In 1965 Marine Robert Garwood was sent on a mission from which he did not return. He was captured and held prisoner by the Vietcong for 14 yrs. In 1979 he escaped and returned to the U.S., where he was convicted of collaborating with the enemy. In fact, he had spent a 14-year struggle to survive and prevail, not only over the enemy, but over his own country's secret efforts to kill him. Col. Tom McKenney's job in Vietnam was organizing killer teams to eliminate "traitors," such as Garwood. 25 years later McKenney believed that Garwood was innocent. Due to McKenney's testimony, and to the author, an injustice is set right and the workings of a secret machinery are laid bare. A true story!

Download a FREE sneak peek today! Eric Ross is on the run from a mysterious past with his two daughters in tow. Having left his wife, his house, his whole life behind in Maryland, he's desperate for money--it's not easy to find steady, safe work when you can't provide references, you can't stay in one place for long, and you're paranoid that your past is creeping back up on you. When he comes across the strange ad for the Masson House in Degener, Texas, Eric thinks they may have finally caught a lucky break. The Masson property, notorious for being one of the most haunted places in Texas, needs a caretaker of sorts. The owner is looking for proof of paranormal activity.
