Auf Llyn Gwyr, einer abgelegenen Hütte in den walisischen Bergen, hat sich Hannah Wilde mit ihrer Tochter verschanzt. Seit Jahren ist sie auf der Flucht vor einer Bedrohung: unsichtbar und mit tausend Gesichtern. Ein Unheil, das seit Generationen alle Frauen ihrer Blutlinie vernichtet. Während ihr Verfolger immer näher kommt, erkennt Hannah, dass nur sie den Fluch bannen kann, der auf ihrer Familie lastet. Und sie hat gute Gründe, niemandem zu trauen - auch nicht den Menschen, die ihr am nächsten stehen.

The String Diaries opens with Hannah frantically driving through the night - her daughter asleep in the back, her husband bleeding out in the seat beside her. In the trunk of the car rests a cache of diaries dating back 200 years, tied and retied with strings through generations. The diaries carry the rules for survival that have been handed down from mother to daughter since the 19th century. But how can Hannah escape an enemy with the ability to look and sound like the people she loves?

An imaginative, tight, edge-of-your-seat supernatural thriller which follows an historical mystery through to its nail-biting contemporary conclusion. The String Diaries.

The only interest that Oxford Professor Charles Meredith has in the diaries is as a record of Hungarian folklore ... until he comes face to face with a myth.

H. P. Lovecraft is arguably the most important horror writer of the 20th century.

This chilling collection includes 20 works, each prefaced by Lovecraft's own opinions and insights in each author’s work.

We look for present and future hope, while attempting to honestly investigate the problems facing humanity and the church. By turns academic, devotional, serious and relaxed, Justin Winzenburg (Ph.D. New Testament) and Stephen W. Jones (Ph.D. International Development) commit to following truth even when that leads us into uncomfortable spaces of self-reflection and repentance. We also anticipate hope, present and future, and actively pursue it.
