Dark Resurrection
Can$12.95
Author-Ron Chudley
Praise for Old Bones: "A moody psychological novel with a series of
finely drawn characters." - THE GLOBE AND MAIL
Elizabeth and Tom Drummond are living quietly in Mill Bay, B.C., when their tranquil existence is disrupted by a singular event: out of the ashes of 9/11, borne by a person believed long dead, come riches beyond anyone's wildest dreams. But with the wealth comes danger-lies, secrets, insidious temptation and relentless pursuit by a grim figure whose motives may be a lot darker than justice.

Ghosts: More Eerie Encounters
Can$18.95
Author-Robert C. Belyk
spooky tales and baffling experiences
The spirit of a young woman haunts the house across the road from where she died. Construction workers restoring an old theatre evoke the anger of a resident ghost. Footsteps on the stairs and phone calls from beyond the grave are items on the menu of ghostly happenings at a premier restaurant. The smell of cigar smoke and the sound of footsteps announce the presence of a hotel's former owner. The growl of an unseen animal terrifies employees of a neighbourhood pub. And mysterious chanting, tripped alarms and the appearance of a phantom monk add to an arts centre's reputation as one of Canada's most haunted places. These are only a few of the stories recounted by Robert C. Belyk in this sequel to his popular book Ghosts: True Tales of Eerie Encounters.
