Mark Edward Hall Library, Vol. 1 (Boxed Set)
A boxed set of books including one novel, three novellas, and the award winning short story, THE RESURRECTION PIT, from the Kindle bestselling author. Nearly 200,000 words of fiction.
MARK EDWARD HALL LIBRARY, Vol. 1 features the complete text of:
APOCALYPSE ISLAND: A small Maine city has turned into a killing ground.
Is it a serial killer, someone with a penchant for the macabre and a need to destroy?
Or is it a darker force, an ancient legend from a mysterious Island come ashore to wreak havoc upon the unsuspecting?
Amid the backdrop of Portland’s burgeoning night scene, Police Lieutenant Rick Jennings discovers that no one is safe, and that evil has many faces.
Danny Wolf, a gifted musician with alcohol problems is witnessing brutal murder in his dreams. The nightmares intensify as Wolf begins to doubt his own sanity, for it is his own groupies that are dying. Perhaps he really is a homicidal madman.
Soon the killings become more bold and gruesome, as members of the church begin to die.
Danny Wolf becomes the number one suspect in the murders, but no one, not even Wolf, is prepared for what they discover on Apocalypse Island, a mind blowing secret that was supposed to stay hidden forever.
THE FEAR: a rich, dark tale of a young man’s struggle to understand the horrific visions of murder that have plagued his life since childhood. What he discovers is a truth so shocking it threatens to destroy him.
THE HERO OF ELM STREET: Luella Coombs is more than just a storyteller. She is a chronicler of life’s triumphs and tragedies. She has also lived long enough to realize that fact and fancy can sometimes become confused. In the midst of a great northeast hurricane she decides to relate a story from her younger years. But as the tale unfolds she begins to understand that stories live only because of their telling and that words not only have the power to heal but to transcend time itself.
The Hero of Elm Street is a ghost story about love, loss, and the power of hope.
THE BREATH OF LIFE: 1939, deep in the heart of the Egyptian desert archeologist Winston Smith has made the discovery of a lifetime. An old kingdom Mastaba tomb. But Smith suspects, from the markings on the door, that this tomb contains relics from the period of the new kingdom, the eighteenth dynasty. So begins an adventure that takes Smith deep beneath the Egyptian desert, while on the surface a storm is kicking up and a child is about to be born. As each adventure unfolds simultaneously and at breakneck speed the reader is taken along on a dizzying thrill ride of wonders and horrors, while elsewhere the architects of the future are making plans for an important arrival.
The Breath of Life is a fun, fast paced thriller steeped heavily in the tradition of the legendary pulp novels of the early twentieth century.
THE RESURRECTION PIT: In Somerville the dead always come back. When Christian’s little brother disappears he wishes for his return, but be careful what you wish for.
“Mark Edward Hall writes like a master. Stephen King, yes, but also like Stoker, Poe, and Bradbury, yeah, even Shakespeare...all those good guys we've forgotten. His prose is hypnotic and seductive, visceral, and edgy. He’s the real thing.” —Kiana Davenport, New York Times Bestselling Author of Cannibal Nights and House of Skin
“Hall has an uncanny knack for blending vivid, almost poetic prose with visceral images of jaw-dropping horror to great effect.” —Bram Stoker Award Winning Editor, Vince Liaguno
“Poetic and eerily seductive, Hall pushes you to the edge, until you get lost in the beautiful madness of his creations.” —Midwest Book Review
“Hall is rapidly climbing the ladder to stake a claim as one of the dark fiction elite.” —Morpheus Tales
