Three low-income families have been given a handsome retainer to join Geraldine Borden for a day at her cliffside estate. All the parents must do to collect the rest of their money is allow their children to test out the revolutionary playground equipment Geraldine has been working on for decades. But there’s a reason the structures in the bowels of her gothic castle have taken so long to develop—they were never meant to see the light of day.

When a band of dysfunctional children is suddenly thrust into a diabolical realm of violence, they must grow up instantly to have a chance at survival. Will they find a way to put their differences aside, or be swallowed up by the insidious architecture all around them?

"With Playground, Aron Beauregard transcends himself, delivering a genuinely chilling, uncomfortable novel that will make even the most jaded horror fan squirm. A harrowing, relentless read that left me breathless."]]> Admin Sat, 20 Jul 2024 15:30:27 -0300 https://fb2bookfree.com/mystery/5385-the-devil-in-the-white-city.html https://fb2bookfree.com/mystery/5385-the-devil-in-the-white-city.html
#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Splendid and the Vile comes the true tale of the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago and the cunning serial killer who used the magic and majesty of the fair to lure his victims to their death.

“As absorbing a piece of popular history as one will ever hope to find.” —San Francisco Chronicle

Combining meticulous research with nail-biting storytelling, Erik Larson has crafted a narrative with all the wonder of newly discovered history and the thrills of the best fiction.

Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America’s rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair’s brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country’s most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his “World’s Fair Hotel” just west of the fairgrounds—a torture palace complete with dissection table, gas chamber, and 3,000-degree crematorium.

Burnham overcame tremendous obstacles and tragedies as he organized the talents of Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles McKim, Louis Sullivan, and others to transform swampy Jackson Park into the White City, while Holmes used the attraction of the great fair and his own satanic charms to lure scores of young women to their deaths. What makes the story all the more chilling is that Holmes really lived, walking the grounds of that dream city by the lake.

The Devil in the White City draws the reader into the enchantment of the Guilded Age, made all the more appealing by a supporting cast of real-life characters, including Buffalo Bill, Theodore Dreiser, Susan B. Anthony, Thomas Edison, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and others. Erik Larson’s gifts as a storyteller are magnificently displayed in this rich narrative of the master builder, the killer, and the great fair that obsessed them both.]]> Admin Sun, 10 Dec 2023 18:08:26 -0400 https://fb2bookfree.com/mystery/5383-a-discovery-of-witches.html https://fb2bookfree.com/mystery/5383-a-discovery-of-witches.html

Look for the hit series “A Discovery of Witches,” now streaming on AMC+, Sundance Now, and Shudder!

Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world.

The story continues in book two, Shadow of Night, book three, The Book of Life, and the fourth in the series, Time’s Convert.]]> Admin Sun, 10 Dec 2023 18:02:31 -0400 https://fb2bookfree.com/mystery/5382-11-22-63.html https://fb2bookfree.com/mystery/5382-11-22-63.html
One of the Ten Best Books of The New York Times Book Review
Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize
Soon to be a miniseries from Hulu starring James Franco

This enhanced ebook edition contains a 13-minute film, written and narrated by Stephen King and enhanced with historic footage from CBS News, that will take you back—as King’s novel does—to Kennedy era America.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? Stephen King’s heart-stoppingly dramatic new novel is about a man who travels back in time to prevent the JFK assassination—a thousand page tour de force.

Following his massively successful novel Under the Dome, King sweeps readers back in time to another moment—a real life moment—when everything went wrong: the JFK assassination. And he introduces readers to a character who has the power to change the course of history.

Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the students—a gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night 50 years ago when Harry Dunning’s father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk.

Not much later, Jake’s friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insane—and insanely possible—mission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake’s new life as George Amberson and his new world of Elvis and JFK, of big American cars and sock hops, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake’s life – a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.

A tribute to a simpler era and a devastating exercise in escalating suspense, 11/22/63 is Stephen King at his epic best.]]> Admin Sun, 10 Dec 2023 17:59:12 -0400 https://fb2bookfree.com/mystery/5377-the-echo-of-old-books.html https://fb2bookfree.com/mystery/5377-the-echo-of-old-books.html
A novel about the magical lure of books and summoning the courage to rewrite our stories by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Keeper of Happy Endings and The Last of the Moon Girls.

She can feel the echoes of the books’ previous owners—an emotional fingerprint only she can read.

Determined to learn the truth behind the doomed lovers’ tale, she reads on, following a trail of broken promises and seemingly unforgivable betrayals. The more Ashlyn learns about Hemi and Belle, the nearer she comes to bringing closure to their love story—and to the unfinished chapters of her own life.]]> Admin Sun, 10 Dec 2023 17:38:39 -0400 https://fb2bookfree.com/mystery/5276-the-black-phone.html https://fb2bookfree.com/mystery/5276-the-black-phone.html

As John tries to figure out how to escape from the cabin, he receives calls from the victims of The Cloth Head, who offer him clues and guidance on how to survive. With the help of these spectral voices, John must outsmart his captor and try to make it out alive.

Throughout the novella, Hill creates a tense and terrifying atmosphere, with vivid descriptions of the horrors that John and the other victims have endured at the hands of The Cloth Head. The black phone serves as a unique and haunting device, adding a supernatural element to the already frightening story.

"The Other Wes Moore" is a powerful and thought-provoking book that delves into the lives of two young men named Wes Moore, who grew up in the same neighborhood in Baltimore but ended up on very different paths. One Wes Moore becomes a successful Rhodes Scholar and White House Fellow, while the other Wes Moore lands in prison for life for his involvement in a robbery that resulted in a police officer's death.

The book explores the complexities of social inequality, poverty, and the impact of external factors such as family, education, and community on shaping one's life trajectory. Through the stories of the two Wes Moores, the author highlights the importance of the choices we make and the significance of having positive role models and a supportive network to help us overcome the obstacles we face.

The author's writing style is engaging, and he weaves together the two stories with skill and sensitivity. He also incorporates his own experiences and reflections, adding depth and meaning to the narrative. The book provides an insightful commentary on issues of race, class, and opportunity in America, and it challenges readers to reflect on their own lives and the choices they make.]]> Admin Mon, 03 Apr 2023 23:42:16 -0300 https://fb2bookfree.com/mystery/5225-the-pit-and-the-pendulum.html https://fb2bookfree.com/mystery/5225-the-pit-and-the-pendulum.html
"The Pit and the Pendulum" is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe and first published in 1842 in the literary annual The Gift: A Christmas and New Year's Present for 1843. The story is about the torments endured by a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, though Poe skews historical facts. The narrator of the story describes his experience of being tortured. The story is especially effective at inspiring fear in the reader because of its heavy focus on the senses, such as sound, emphasizing its reality, unlike many of Poe's stories which are aided by the supernatural. The traditional elements established in popular horror tales at the time are followed, but critical reception has been mixed. The tale has been adapted to film several times.]]> Admin Mon, 05 Dec 2022 23:49:20 -0400 https://fb2bookfree.com/mystery/5210-the-tell-tale-heart.html https://fb2bookfree.com/mystery/5210-the-tell-tale-heart.html
"The Tell-Tale Heart" is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1843. It is related by an unnamed narrator who endeavors to convince the reader of the narrator's sanity while simultaneously describing a murder the narrator committed. The victim was an old man with a filmy pale blue "vulture-eye", as the narrator calls it. The narrator emphasizes the careful calculation of the murder, attempting the perfect crime, complete with dismembering the body in the bathtub and hiding it under the floorboards. Ultimately, the narrator's actions result in hearing a thumping sound, which the narrator interprets as the dead man's beating heart.]]> Admin Sat, 26 Nov 2022 02:09:33 -0400
