 The Between  |
The BetweenAuthor: Due, Tananarive |

Nominated for the 1995 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel. When Hilton was just a boy, his aged grandmother saved him from drowning by pulling him out of a treacherous ocean current, sacrificing her own life for his. Now, thirty years later, he is starting to think his borrowed time is running out. His wife has begun receiving racist hate mail — letters from a man she once prosecuted who now threatens to destroy her entire family. Hilton becomes obsessed with protecting them, and begins having nightmares more horrible than any he has ever experienced. Are the strange dreams trying to tell him something? Perhaps Hilton was never meant to have survived that drowning accident, and there are forces at work to rectify that mistake. Hilton’s sense of reality begins slipping away as he battles both the psychotic who stalks his family and the even more terrifying unseen enemy that plagues his sleep. |

 Second Soul  |
Second SoulAuthor: Sullivan, Thomas |
||
|
Michael Carmichael was a normal man — until the careening downward plunge of his life culminated in a near-fatal skiing accident. He should have died in the icy waterfall where he crashed, but he became the exception to a rule no being was ever meant to break. Now Michael is not quite a man, nor is he alive or dead. His image in the mirror is inexplicably, but undeniably, different. The voices of others echo in his head. And as his inward metamorphosis brings the wrath of the natural world upon him, he must venture back to the waterfall to reclaim his soul from a magical gallery of Faustian characters. . . . |
