Book excerpt: The acclaimed New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling novel of small-town evil that “is genuinely chilling and something brand-new and exciting” (Stephen King) and “unforgettable” (Harlan Coben). In the summer of 1988, the mutilated bodies of several missing girls begin to turn up in a small Maryland town. The grisly evidence leads police to the terrifying assumption that a serial killer is on the loose in the quiet suburb. But soon a rumor begins to spread that the evil stalking local teens is not entirely human. Law enforcement, as well as members of the FBI, are certain that the killer is a living, breathing madman—and he’s playing games with them. For a once peaceful community trapped in the depths of paranoia and suspicion, it feels like a nightmare that will never end. Recent college graduate Richard Chizmar returns to his hometown just as a curfew is enacted and a neighborhood watch is formed. Amid preparing for his wedding and embarking on a writing career, he soon finds himself thrust into a real-life horror story. Inspired by the terrifying events, Richard writes a personal account of the serial killer’s reign of terror, unaware that these events will continue to haunt him for years to come.

Download or read book Just Us Horror in a Small Maryland Town written by John Guerra and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-10 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was as if the town's youngest citizens, running across the surface of time, had slipped down a hidden mineshaft. Some, like Laura McTeague, were shoved into the mine by a horrible accident, or in the case of Clark and his little brother, Stanley -- pushed into eternity by a drifter like Ernest Tango. Still other kids, like James' youngsters, were dispatched by a burst of furious, adult-sized pain. The house is gone but for the low, weed-choked foundation, and a water pipe sticking straight out of the cellar like the hand of a drowning man. Even now in the summertime, the sunlight here seems subdued, like the interior of a slightly open coffin. Things still linger in the creeks, swamps and low places of my childhood. I can't name them but I have seen them. They never venture into the road nor rise to stand in open fields. They crawl about in the spider corners in aging barns, moan from mist-choked river banks and stand hunched and patient in the shadows as we age and die. These beings neither Heaven nor Hell can claim.

Download or read book Maryland Monster Movie Memories Baltimore Washington Area Horror Hosts and More 1957 1987 written by John Carter Stell and published by . This book was released on 2022-06-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primarily, this book is a thank you to horror hosts in general, particularly the Baltimore-area hosts-The Great Zucchini, Dr. Lucifer, Ghost Host, Sir Graves Ghastly and Count Gore De Vol-for the immeasurable pleasure they gave their young and young-at-heart viewers throughout the years they served. For many people, their first exposure to horror films was through these hosts, and this in turn began a love affair with the genre. In fact, these friendly fiends created little movie monsters with insatiable appetites, not nearly satisfied by a once-a-week-fix. Thus, this book does not just include filmographies of local hosts, but also chapters on local television airings that would have been of interest to the budding horror fan. Some stations had dedicated "Chiller Theaters" that specialized in horrific programming, even if there was no host. Other horrors frequently popped up on the more inclusive "Late Late Show." This type of programming would not last much past the 1980s, when the combination of the cable television explosion and the home video revolution sent networks scrambling to reconfigure their schedules. Author John Carter Stell worked over 10 years gathering the films, dates and times to remind those little monster kids of the joys of their youth. Waiting for a new (to them) monster, mad scientist or alien to scare the bejeezus out of them. Includes mini bios of the horror hosts and complete listings of the films shown. Guaranteed to bring a smile and happy memories to those little horror fiends that still reside in all of us.
