Michael West Bücher

Wer kennt ihn nicht, den zynischen, alten Ebenezer Scrooge, der es selbst am Weihnachtsabend bedauert, seinem Angestellten frei geben zu müssen, Bittsteller verjagt und die Einladung seines Neffen zum Weihnachtsessen barsch ablehnt. Scrooge, dessen Name als Bezeichnung für extremen Geiz in die englische Umgangssprache Eingang gefunden hat, gehört eindeutig zu den berühmt-berüchtigsten Figuren der Weltliteratur. Erst durch die Geister vergangener, gegenwärtiger und zukünftiger Weihnachtsfeste erkennt Scrooge den wahren Sinn von Weihnachten.

There's a time to run, and a time to pick up a gun. Especially in the City of Angels, where the police are at war with the Stay Ready Soldiers, a militant group based in South Central. Tonight, Geronimo and Kali must rely on each other as they traverse a perilous concrete wasteland, dodging bullets every step of the way.

There is a fine line between love and madness, between insanity and pure evil. This is Michael West at his terrifying best! From heart-stopping horror to the strangest of fantasies - these are tales from the darkest regions of his twisted imagination! All the usual tropes are here - vampires and shapeshifters, ghosts and witches, gods and monsters, mummies and zombies - but none of them are exactly what you would expect... A dream vacation takes a nightmarish turn when a couple finds they did not come home alone... A man agrees to a meeting with his estranged wife and learns the horrible, obscene truth of the old saying: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned..." An American platoon, cut off from the outside world, discovers an unbelievable enemy they were never trained to fight... And a man struggling with depression and grief receives text messages from beyond the grave, messages that push him to the edge of sanity...and beyond... Ten more reasons to say your prayers. Ten more reasons to check beneath your bed. Ten more reasons why you may never want to close your eyes again.
