Phantom
List Price: Price: $83.39 DescriptionPhantom, first published in 1982, is Thomas Tessier’s fourth novel. It is the story of Ned Covington, a ten-year-old boy, who explores an abandoned building near his home and what he finds there.According to Don D’Amassa in The Encyclopedia of Fantasy and Horror Fiction, it “is beautifully written and hard to forget.” Neil Barron’s Horror Literature: A Reader’s Guide called it “a touching, scary book. . . as harrowing and imaginative as anything in current horror fiction.” Douglas E. Winter in The Penguin Encyclopedia of Tessier . . . proved himself one of the major new talents in horror fiction with . . .a compelling humanist ghost story, Phantom.” Winter also listed it in Faces of Fear (Berkley, 1985), as one of “the best of the modern generation of horror fiction.” It was also included on a similar list published as an appendix to Stephen Jones’ and Kim Newman’s Horror: 100 Best Books (Carroll & Graf, 1988). Phantom was nominated for a World Fantasy Award in 1983.
Fog Heart
 List Price: Price: $2.95 You Save: $11.00 (79%) DescriptionTwo couples, both skeptical and desperate, are drawn together by a medium named Oona, a fragile, beautiful young woman who knows things that no other living person should know. Is her gift real, or is it the sign of a consuming madness? Can she lead them all to important truths, or will they be trapped in the tightening web of terror and death?
Fog Heart was named one of the best books of the year by Publishers Weekly, and awarded the International Horror Guild's honors for Best Novel. "His body flew into hers, his face into hers, a glimpse of an unbearably elongated eye rushing directly into hers. It felt as if she had been hit by a wave of frigid moisture, so shocking to her system that it nearly knocked her out, and at the same moment she could hear him shriek in agony--from within her body, the awful noise filling her, seeming to swell her brain and resound in the chambers of her heart, devastating her with shared pain." A woman is horrified by visits from her dead father. Her cold psychopath of a husband thinks she's being ridiculous. Another husband and wife are getting messages from their long-lost daughter who died as an infant. The two couples consult a medium named Oona--a serious, moody teenager with Pre-Raphaelite hair. Sensing that their fates are intertwined, Oona introduces them and insists on conducting their séances together. Fog Heart is a dark, disturbing ghost story, one in which the living characters' inner torments and relationships with each other are more crucial than the supernatural events. The pacing is a little uneven, but Thomas Tessier--called "horror fiction's best kept secret" by the Washington Post--more than makes up for it with literary craftsmanship. The characters are richly evoked, the dialogue smooth and convincing, and the descriptions elegant, even musical.
