128,95 kr. They're the town losers: three no-account good ol' boys with a penchant for hard drinking and an aversion to personal hygiene. Dennis is a washed-up high school athlete who dreamed of going pro. Harley's a bad seed, a belligerent drunk always looking for trouble. And Ernie? Lord love him, but he's just not too bright.A weekend hunting trip in the remote woods frees the three from society's judging stares-and offers an opportunity to drink around live ammo. Leave it to Harley to screw things up. With one crazed act of drunken bravado, Harley stumbles into a world few know exist, dragging his unwilling buddies with him. In this new reality, bikers from a bygone era cruise the midnight highways on vintage choppers, and wolves hide behind the illusion of human skin. It's a wild world where strength, aggression, and loyalty to the pack are the only rules. For three of society's unwanted souls, the pack offers a tempting if slightly dysfunctional sense of family. Dennis, Ernie, and even Harley may have finally found their place in the world, but only if they can survive the dangerous foe stalking The Knights of Moonshine.

118,95 kr. People fear the dark for a reason. Out in the darkness, the demons and horrors of our imagination become all too real. Of those brave enough to leave the light and plunge into the world's dark corners, none come back unchanged. Some don't come back at all. Four Corners Dark offers up four very different tales of places where the darkness lingers, tempting you to step into the unknown. In these tales by storyteller William McNally, a group of Mexican immigrants place their trust in the wrong coyote, or human smuggler, only to find their very souls at risk. A huckster with the ability to escape trouble by jumping realities discovers he may have made one jump too many. Two proud new homeowners find out-too late-they share their property with the ghost of a vengeful witch, and, in "The Spinning Wheel," one man's love for his son leads to a decision that changes both their destinies. It's easy to be brave in the light, protected by our warm, comforting electric light bulbs or the warmth of the sun. Only in the darkness do we discover the limits of our courage. Step out of the light, and into the stories of Four Corners Dark.

His adoptive sister Jen and her boyfriend Jackson join Barry on the trip, but what they find is a town abandoned. Except for the dead-who never really left.By day, the creatures that inhabit this town are but ghostly remnants of their former selves. At night, however, they transform into a physical-and lethal-form. There's no escaping Auraria with all roads leading back to where they started, and Barry, Jen, and Jackson know that joining a band of survivors is their only hope. Struggling against his own dark urges, Barry flees to an old, abandoned plantation.It is at this plantation, Barry's familial home, that he discovers his own tragic heritage. That his family is under the control of an evil entity called Evangeline due to a series of events initiated over a hundred years earlier by Ezra Rhodes, Barry's distant relative. Mixing science fiction with horror, and the real with the supernatural, William McNally brings to life a world where the past maintains a firm grip on the present, and man's own fatal desires are brought disturbingly to light. Readers of Stephen King and Dean Koontz will delight in this chillingly oppressive tale.
