Enceinte à seulement quinze ans, Flore est envoyée à Wellwood House. Au coeur d'une sombre forêt, ce manoir est une institution où les familles placent des adolescentes pour qu'elles accouchent en secret et abandonnent leurs bébés.
Derrière les hauts murs de cet inquiétant établissement, ces filles perdues et rebelles mènent une vie où chacun de leurs gestes est contrôlé. Coupées du monde extérieur, elles doivent obéir au doigt et à l'oeil à des adultes cruels et chaque journée est un calvaire.
Jusqu'au jour où Flore découvre un véritable manuel de sorcellerie. Intriguées, les jeunes filles commencent à pratiquer des sorts. Elles découvrent alors un pouvoir incroyable... et la possibilité de se venger. Mais rien n'est jamais donné gratuitement. Il y a toujours un prix. Et à Wellwood House ce prix sera payé par le sang...
They call them wayward girls. Loose girls. Girls who grew up too fast. And they're sent to the Wellwood House in St. Augustine, Florida, where unwed mothers are hidden by their families to have their babies in secret, give them up for adoption, and most important of all, to forget any of it ever happened.
À l'adolescence, la musique a sauvé Kris d'une vie misérable. Elle a monté un groupe de métal avec son ami Terry, puis a pris la route pour une décennie de concerts, d'ivresse, de narcotiques et de délires divers. La belle vie, en somme. Jusqu'au jour où la musique s'est arrêtée. Et où Kris est revenue dans son bled pourri pour travailler dans un hôtel tout aussi pourri. Avec des tonnes de tranquillisants pour endormir sa colère.
La bête en elle se réveille enfin le jour où elle apprend que Terry, qui a trahi le groupe pour une carrière solo triomphale, va refaire une série de concerts.
Et c'est une bête très, très en colère.
Le temps est en effet venu d'aller trouver Terry pour s'expliquer.
Pour lui montrer qu'il reste des choses, dans ce monde, qui ne sont pas à vendre.

Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Cleveland, Ohio. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring bookshelves, shattered Glans water goblets, and smashed Liripip wardrobes. Sales are down, security cameras reveal nothing, and store managers are panicking.
To unravel the mystery, three employees volunteer to work a nine-hour dusk-till-dawn shift. In the dead of the night, they’ll patrol the empty showroom floor, investigate strange sights and sounds, and encounter horrors that defy the imagination.
A traditional haunted house story in a thoroughly contemporary setting, Horrorstör comes packaged in the form of a glossy mail order catalog, complete with product illustrations, a home delivery order form, and a map of Orsk’s labyrinthine showroom. It’s “a treat for fans of The Evil Dead or Zombieland, complete with affordable solutions for better living.”--Kirkus Reviews.

Every morning, Kris Pulaski wakes up in hell. In the 1990s she was lead guitarist of Dürt Würk, a heavy-metal band on the brink of breakout success until lead singer Terry Hunt embarked on a solo career and rocketed to stardom, leaving his bandmates to rot in obscurity.
Now Kris works as night manager of a Best Western; shes tired, broke, and unhappy. Then one day everything changes--a shocking act of violence turns her life upside down, and she begins to suspect that Terry sabotaged more than just the band. Kris hits the road, hoping to reunite Dürt Würk and confront the man who ruined her life. Her journey will take her from the Pennsylvania rust belt to a celebrity rehab center to a satanic music festival. A furious power ballad about never giving up, We Sold Our Souls is an epic journey into the heart of a conspiracy-crazed, pill-popping, paranoid country that seems to have lost its very soul.
