Astonishing true stories of paranormal nightmares! From devilish dolls and haunted Ouija boards to witchcraft disasters and doomed demonic deals, True Tales Trilogy covers a wide spectrum of occult encounters that end in horror, hardship, and tragedy. If there’s one theme that runs throughout this compendium, it’s this: If you play with fire, you’re going to get burned. In this one convenient volume you get the full editions of the following books: Ouija Board Nightmares: Terrifying True Tales Demonic Dolls: True Tales of Terrible Toys Evil Unleashed: True Tales of Spells Gone to Hell and Other Occult Disasters In the tradition of paranormal experts and authors Gabriele Amorth, Ed and Lorraine Warren, and Zak Bagans, True Tales Trilogy author John Harker engages the reader with thrilling accounts of demonic and ghostly activity while at the same time offering warnings and advice to those thinking about dabbling in, or already ensnared by, the occult. Ouija Board Nightmares: For more than a century, the Ouija board has attracted the attention of a wide variety of people: paranormal thrill-seekers, adventurous adolescents, temperamental teens, tipsy party guests, and even curious skeptics. Most of the time, those who dabble with the Ouija or other spirit boards experience nothing out of the ordinary. But many times that's not the case. And many times that extraordinary experience isn't just strange, but downright terrifying. Ouija Board Nightmares takes a look at some of those terrifying experiences, which range from nightmarish manifestations to actual physical assaults. The author’s intention is to inform and engage, but primarily to warn. While the Ouija board may be marketed as a harmless game, it is indeed neither. If the accounts in this book don't convince you of that, then nothing will. Demonic Dolls: Can dolls really become haunted? Can demons take possession of people’s playthings? According to a large number of paranormal investigators, exorcists, and demonologists, the answer is a resounding yes. Not only are such phenomena possible, they happen fairly often, with dolls being one of the most frequent targets of spirit attachment. Sometimes those spirits are benign, or at the most mischievous. But many are outright evil and dangerous. This book examines some of the world’s most famous haunted dolls. Some you may have heard about. Others will be new. All will make you reconsider the world you thought you knew. Evil Unleashed: The occult is many things to many people. For some, it is a path to enlightenment. Others find it a source of personal transformation. And still others consider it a doorway to the devil. While distinctions can be drawn and argued all day, what can't be argued is this: the occult is dangerous. It opens channels that are best left closed. It attracts entities that don't play by the rules. And it demands more—always more—than what was bargained for. These true-life accounts reveal the heartache and horror that can occur when people participate in the occult and, knowingly or not, release dark spirits into the human realm. Dabbler or devotee—it doesn't matter how deeply one is committed or involved. Once evil is unleashed, it treats everyone the same: hellishly.

“If Brian Freemantle isn’t the best writer of spy novels around, he’s certainly, along with John le Carré, in the top two.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer Charlie Muffin isn’t your typical British spy. He’s neither high cultured nor well mannered. He doesn’t care about being smooth, pretty, or popular; he only cares about getting the job done . . . Charlie M: After twenty-five years serving the Crown in the shadows of the Cold War, Charlie finds himself under fire from a new breed of superiors who believe his lack of proper breeding makes him a liability in the spy game against the Soviets. But Charlie’s going to show them that you don’t survive as long as he has without knowing how to turn the tables on your enemy . . . Here Comes Charlie M: On the run, Charlie has slowly devolved into what his former masters once accused him of being. His formerly razor-edged instincts have been dulled by indolence, drink, and the monotonous tension of living in the dark. Believing the heat must have cooled by now, he returns to England, only to discover how very wrong he was—and how much more dangerous life has just become . . . The Inscrutable Charlie Muffin: Charlie has been keeping his head down with the help of his only friend and ally, Rupert Willoughby. But Rupert’s own fortunes turn sour when an ocean liner he invested in burns and sinks in the Hong Kong harbor. Desperate, he turns to Charlie to find out what really happened. Charlie can hardly refuse—but he’ll wish he had.
