Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 400 pages. Marshall recalls Stephen King's ability to set a s tory in the world of the commonplace, then suddenly jolt it into a more hellish realm. -New York Times Bad things have always happened in Black Ridge, Washington-and Michael Marshall, the acclaimed, bestselling, Phillip K. Dick Award-winning author of The Intruders (Scary brilliance -Baltimore Sun) and Straw Men (Brilliantly written and scary as hell -Stephen King), lets reade rs experience all the exceptional nastiness. Marshall's Bad Thing s is an electrifying combination of psychological suspense, myste ry, horror, and paranormal activity that no fan of ingenious, int elligent thrillers will want to miss. Editorial Reviews From Pu blishers Weekly At the start of this unsettling novel of supernat ural suspense from bestseller Marshall (The Intruders), four-year -old Scott Henderson dies from no apparent cause after falling in to a lake in Black Ridge, Wash. The boy's devastated parents, Joh n and Carol, divorce, and both leave the area. Three years later, John is lured back to Black Ridge by a chilling message from a w oman who says she knows what killed his son--a siren call that Jo hn can't ignore. John's return is a trigger for other ominous eve nts that will lead him to relive Scott's death and confront the d issolution of his former life. The small town's surface normality contrasts nicely with the unnerving behavior of some residents a nd even inanimate objects (e.g., cars that suddenly won't start). While much of what's going on doesn't make a lot of sense, this spooky tale shows Marshall (who writes horror and SF as Michael M arshall Smith) has a knack not only for the frisson of dread but also the telling psychological insight.

Softback. Condition: Mint. Dust Jacket Condition: No dustjacket. First (Trade Paperback). First US Trade (large size) paperback with a full 1 to 10 number sequence indicating a first printing of this edition. Edited by Bill Breedlove and John Everson. This is a collection of four stories from Lee Thomas, Gary McMahon, S G Browne and Michael Marshall Smith. "Life is fleeting. Things happen quickly. One moment you're at the office, or maybe sitting in your living room; more of the same old, same old. And the next you're gone. Forever. For the brave, here are sixteen tales of those sudden moments when life goes from light to dark, laughing to screaming, bad to worse. Scary to unspeakable. Lee Thomas Stoker-Award winning author, shares emotionally-devastating tales spanning the Victorian-Steampunk era like "The Dodd Contrivance" to the newest terror trawling Internet chat rooms in "Appetite of the Cyber Tribes" and more. Gary McMahon drawing favorable comparisons to Ramsey Campbell in his native England, shows just why in tales ranging from feverish nightmares in "The Ghost in You" to coldly-calculated terror in "Creep" and everything in between. S.G. Browne explores male sexual fantasies run amok in "Dream Girls," science run amok in "Dr. Lullaby," a charming small town run amok in "Lower Slaughter," and, perhaps most terrifying, a writer run amok in "Lord of Words." Michael Marshall Smith shows why he is an international sensation with pieces ranging from the thought-provoking "REMTemps" to the horrifying "What Goes on in Their Minds" to the whimsical "Dave 2 Beta 23."

Hardback: 9¼" x 6¼". Condition: Fine: Very small signs of wear. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrator). 1st Edition. © 2007: A stand-alone novel by Michael Marshall Smith. 1st edition, 1st printing. Synopsis: Things are unreliable. Things break. Things fall apart. Even at 11 years old, Mark knows this all too well. By the time he moves out of London to a wintry seaside town, things are already bad. His mother is sick, and Mark doesn't get along with his new stepfather. Although he finds an ally in an elderly neighbour, it still doesn't feel like home, and shadows are soon gathering as things slowly start to get worse. Mark knows he has to do something, but he doesn't know what. And the only people who might be able to help him - may not even exist:- Review(s): "A modern fantasy novel from the British Fantasy and International Horror Guild Award-winning author of 'Spares' and the 'Straw Men' trilogy" / "A superb, offbeat contemporary fantasy. Smith portrays a child's irrational anger with devastating accuracy, and the visits to the surreal and intensely symbolic world of the servants are powerfully depicted" - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review / "A storytelling skill that can only be described as pure genius" - Venue:- (original cost $30.00).
