Book excerpt: Sargaard's life began in horror. He was orphaned when Corsairian raiders decimated his village. The evil Lord of the Abyss, Kataclysmos, placed a dark spell on Sargaard when he failed to capture the frightened lone survivor. Sargaard's future, muddied with betrayal, greed, and death, was cast. However, within hours good fortune smiled on him and his miserable fate was altered when the future king of Bovania found and adopted him. The country welcomed their newest noble son: Sargaard, the Prince of Bovania. As the years pass, jealousy and discontent darken the heart of Sargaard leading to his shocking ultimate act of treachery and permanent exile to the Dying Lands. It is here that Kataclysmos resurfaces to claim his prized Dane and fuels the fire of hatred in Sargaard's soul transforming him into the Carrion Lord. With an army of carrion beasts amassed to destroy all that stands before them, the Carrion Lord embarks on a journey to embrace his destiny and exact his revenge. Bovania's only hope is Sargaard's childhood friend and former Academy classmate—Skeld, and the motley group of dogs King Sven assembles to unite the land against the evil that comes. Will the words of the Oracle hold true? Can Bovania unite against Sargaard and his horde? As the final battle unfolds true friends and true enemies will be revealed. The inspiration for Rise of the Carrion Lord came from years of pondering the question: What if dogs had their own world apart from humans where they walked as we do, talked as we do, and were completely human-esque, but still dogs?

Until then, insurgency remains a genuine threat. Guerrilla attacks by an elusive band of freedom fighters must be countered with swift and brutal action—a mission the Emperor entrusts to his most formidable agents: Darth Vader, the fearsome new Sith enforcer, and Tarkin, whose tactical cunning and cold-blooded efficiency will pave the way for the Empire’s supremacy—and its enemies’ extinction.

Book excerpt: Embraced by giants such as Stephen King and Dean R. Koontz, Dan Simmons's Carrion Comfort was originally published by Warner Books in 1989, and remains a classic of dark fantasy and horror. "One of the three greatest horror novels of the 20th century. Simple as that." --Stephen King THE PAST... Caught behind the lines of Hitler's Final Solution, Saul Laski is one of the multitudes destined to die in the notorious Chelmno extermination camp. Until he rises to meet his fate and finds himself face to face with an evil far older, and far greater, than the Nazi's themselves... THE PRESENT... Compelled by the encounter to survive at all costs, so begins a journey that for Saul will span decades and cross continents, plunging into the darkest corners of 20th century history to reveal a secret society of beings who may often exist behind the world's most horrible and violent events. Killing from a distance, and by darkly manipulative proxy, they are people with the psychic ability to 'use' humans: read their minds, subjugate them to their wills, experience through their senses, feed off their emotions, force them to acts of unspeakable aggression. Each year, three of the most powerful of this hidden order meet to discuss their ongoing campaign of induced bloodshed and deliberate destruction. But this reunion, something will go terribly wrong. Saul's quest is about to reach its elusive object, drawing hunter and hunted alike into a struggle that will plumb the depths of mankind's attraction to violence, and determine the future of the world itself... "Epic in scale and scope but intimately disturbing, Carrion Comfort spans the ages to rewrite history and tug at the very fabric of reality. A nightmarish chronicle of predator and prey that will shatter your world view forever. A true classic." --Guillermo del Toro

Download or read book Lord Tyger written by Philip José Farmer and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A South African tycoon attempts to engineer his own Tarzan in a novel that deconstructs the original legend with unparalleled imagination. In a remote African valley, Ras Tyger is the Lord of the Jungle. He lives each day fulfilling his appetites for deadly prey and sexual conquest. But something sinister lurks behind his unspoiled life. He will soon discover the devastating truth: his entire existence has been engineered by a madman. Obsessed with the Tarzan novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, a white South African uses his fortune to turn an English nobleman into the heroically untamed figure. Everything in Ras Tyger’s world—from his jungle home to the “apes” who raised him—is an elaborate lie. But the Tarzan books weren’t very plausible. And the experiment is about to get dangerously out of control . . . Drawing on true stories of feral children, Lord Tyger explores the real-life implications of the Tarzan legend. With ingenious meta-fiction, Philip José Farmer delivers a wildly entertaining sci-fi adventure that critiques popular colonial mythmaking.
