Yarrows do not die. People do. The family motto. Cynthia Yarrow laughs as she returns to Oxrun Station, her old hometown. The family is assembled to greet the prodigal-but they have changed in the years Cyd's been away. Cyd's mother cuts herself but does not bleed. One evening a horrified Cyd discovers her father's lifeless body-only to see him alive and laughing just minutes later. Everything is fine, they assure her-she'll understand as soon as she visits Dr. Kraylin. When Cyd refuses, she is pursed through Oxrun Station's street by a powerful grey limousine. As the death-car bears down on her, she wonders, is she still a Yarrow-or is she their next target?

Charles L. Grant sets forth to take us across time and into a fantasy world to his remarkable little Connecticut town of Oxrun Station. There are new horrors on the loose to excite each reader. For all of you who, like the author, yearn for something blatantly old-fashioned, here is an opportunity to climb back into the past, and experience the thrill of the classic tale of The Mummy-the jackal-headed god ... ancient Egypt ... mummies ... eternal ...

Multiple award winner Charles L. Grant has written a vampire novel set in the author's distressing little town of Oxrun Station. It is a region to be found on the same maps as Lovecraft's Arkham and King's Castle Rock. The Soft Whisper of the Dead is the first of the Oxrun tales to be placed in other than a contemporary setting. The first in a trilogy of historical horror novels, it is the account of the evil Count Braslov's attempt to subjugate the Oxrun population to his vampiric will. This first novel of a fast-paced trilogy is fraught with gas-light atmosphere, plucky women, a befuddled constabulary and is filled with the excitement of the classic vampire tale. Great fun

WELCOME TO OXRUN STATION Oxrun Station could be a spooky place, especially out by the Windsors', right next to the graveyard. At night Natalie heard eerie sounds out in the fog, among the tombstones, unnatural sounds made by unearthly things. Natalie's husband had been born in Oxrun Station. He loved the town, and served it well-and in return it killed him. Ben's death had left Natalie isolated in a strange town she could not call her own. How strange and how deadly Oxrun Station could be, Natalie Windsor was about to learn. Once each year an ancient ritual was recreated, an ancient pact reinvoked-and Natalie Windsor was this year's sacrifice.

The truth can not be contained! But these two-book collections make it easier than ever to dive headfirst into the intrigue and mystery of The X-Files! In GOBLINS by Charles Grant, the inexplicable is happening-a disembodied, knife-wielding hand has caused a string of violent crimes... and then vanished into thin air. With no leads and no clues, Agents Mulder and Scully are dispatched from the shadows to uncover the truth... wherever it leads. And in GROUND ZERO by Kevin J. Anderson, Agents Mulder and Scully face bureaucratic dead ends in search for what killed renowned nuclear weapons research scientist Dr. Gregory. As the body count rises one things becomes clear-this twisted puzzle has fatal consequences for the whole world.
