A triple-feature boxed set of three suspense and horror thrillers - Purity, The Words, and The Attraction. In these full-length novellas, bestselling and Bram Stoker Award-winning author Douglas Clegg's brings us three of his most frightening and fascinating chillers of suspense, horror and...coming of age.
In Purity, the darkest force is love. From award-winning author Douglas Clegg comes a twisting, dark psychological thriller of dangerous obsession. For Owen Crites, there is no girl for him but Jenna Montgomery. When he meets his rival, a rich young man named Jimmy McTeague, Owen discovers a hidden secret about this intruder. And Owen will stop at nothing -- including murder -- to keep Jenna all to himself.
In The Words, two boys discover a secret realm of monsters...When teenager Mark befriends outsider Dash, he believes his new friend to be an outcast rebel. But a dark horror unfolds as Dash leads Mark into dangerous games and rituals involving stories of the occult and a strange drug that allows Dash to see into another world -- a place of absolute darkness and terror.
The Attraction is a drive-in movie-style horror chiller of roadside terror. The signs along the desert highway read “Come See the Mystery!” But some mysteries should remain buried forever -- like the terrifying creature at the back of the Brakedown Palace Gas & Sundries Emporium. When a group of college friends on a road trip across country stop in to check out the roadside attraction, they unleash an ancient horror.
