The Haunting of Edward Drake
In the winter of 1868, three children go missing from the village of Palmyra, New York. After weeks of panicked searching, a boy and his father discover the murdered bodies. The father claims a spirit led them to the corpses.
A wealthy Boston widow infatuated with spiritualism travels to Palmyra to meet this infamous pair. After a brief encounter she determines the father is a scoundrel but the son, Edward Drake, has a talent for communicating with the dead. She takes Edward to Boston to serve her as a medium.
Sixteen years later, Edward Drake refuses to perform. He’s a grown man now, educated and rational. It’s simply not possible to speak with the dead. The frightening spirit that led him to the murdered children was a delusion—a delusion that nearly destroyed his sanity. He disavows spiritualism.
Edward’s disavowal is tested by gruesome news from home: three more children have gone missing, and one has turned up dead. His estranged brother Jim has been accused of the crimes and gone fugitive. If Jim is caught, he’ll be hung without trial or jury.
Edward rushes to Palmyra. To his horror, the malicious spirit reappears. As Edward races to find his brother and the still-missing children, he confronts a terrible choice. Is he losing his mind? Or has a murderous spirit been unleashed on the world—and Edward is to blame?

Wasteland Blues
Having only ever known the uncivilized wake of nuclear and biological apocalypse, three friends–and their wheelchair-bound hostage–set out on a perilous fool’s mission: to cross from one side of the devastated United States to the other, in the desperate, half-believed hope of finding a rumored haven. Spurred by a dark vision and the murder of their parents, rageaholic Derek Cane and his oversized, simple-minded brother Teddy flee the only home they’ve ever known, a struggling shantytown on the edge of the vast wasteland. Heading ever eastward, they are accompanied by their friend John, an orphan brought up by a fanatical religious order, and Leggy, a crippled old drunk who brags that, in his youth, he once traversed the wasteland as a scavenger.
