Breed / Chase Novak / 310 Pages / Horror

 Breed, by Chase Novak, is a darkly disturbing, cautionary tale about infertility and the horrifying consequences of continued genetic engineering in man's never-ending quest to outwit Mother Nature.

When they have exhausted all possible treatments in the U.S., Leslie and Alex Twisden journey to Slovenia to visit a mysterious doctor who has achieved startling success for other couples in their infertility support group - although many who undergo his treatments suffer an unspeakable side-effect; the desire to eat their children!

Breed will appeal to those who like creepy, intricately plotted horror stories and possibly also to those who enjoy mystery and suspense. Similar works include: The Literary Werewolf: an anthology and The Wolf Gift by Anne Rice.

20th Century Ghosts, a collection of short stories by Joe Hill (son of acclaimed master of the horror genre, Stephen King), is a Twilight Zone-like exploration of the legacies of the Twentieth Century that haunt us to this day.

Each story explores a macabre facet of life in the last century - from people turning into bugs because of atomic testing to serial killers, child abductions, and our love affair with cinema and Hollywood.

20th Century Ghosts will appeal to lovers of Serling-esque strangeness, suspense and flat-out creepiness. Similar titles include Whispers in the Night and Dark Dreams both by Brandon Massey.
