In 1980, serial killer Joseph Parrish was killed in a raid by local authorities and his bizarre world uncovered. Now, Russell Kenyon has come to do a segment on Parrish for his show, Spooky History, hoping the report will be his show's saving grace. With a new victim missing, talk of Parrish's curse has spread through town. Russ quickly finds himself involved in the case, finding the body bound and dissected in Parrish's fashion. Russ changes his direction, hoping to catch the killer for his show. He feels protected in the town where people vanish, feeling invited by the killer. Yet, he also feels watched. He is haunted by the scarecrow that guards Parrish's land. Russ finds few allies in town, working against the local sheriff and a town spooked by a legend. His attraction to the chief deputy, Jared Hatcher, a young man with eyes of an angel, takes him by surprise. It quickly becomes clear it's not a copycat killer. Russ must protect the ones he loves, the town he's grown fond of, and uncover the mystery of the deadly scarecrow's kiss before he finds himself suffering a fate worse than death.

Publisher Description

A salute to those who show up every morning to one of the most important jobs in the country---teaching. No matter the personality of the teacher or the ages of kids that they teach, nobody can make it through a typical teacher's week without the sunshine of God's love and laughter pouring its light on his or her life.

Neddy Poindexter’s sister, Prudence, has turned sixteen and is the prettiest girl in Klynham. Neddy can’t protect her from the men in town, but can he protect her from the killer on the loose?

Thomas's unfinished novel of a Welsh boy's adventures in London is accompanied by twenty short stories.

Dorothy (of Oz) and Alice (of Wonderland) used to be lovers. But that was in the past. Sometimes though, the past has a way of coming back to haunt you. In Alice’s case, that way is a tornado summoned to snatch her from the Outside World and bring her back to Munchkinland. Alice has absolutely no intention of getting back together with Dorothy. You see, Dorothy has changed…into a pervert, a sadistic chief of the munchkin tribes, and an all around unreasonable beast! She has the audacity to ask Alice to rule by her side, keeps talking about magical sexual powers that Alice possesses… Alice wants no part of it, demands to be sent back home, and that’s when the completely unreasonable Dorothy throws Alice into some sort of twisted game that’s designed to end in a duel to the death with the Scarecrow! You wouldn’t think that would be the way Dorothy would want to woo Alice, but it is. Dorothy seems to think it’ll somehow prove how much she loves Alice, in some sort of twisted logic. See, Dorothy thinks of it as a heartfelt sacrifice of one of her favorite servants to Alice and feels that as she and Alice go through the challenges of the game together, they’ll somehow end up bonding. Alice doesn’t want to be hurt by Dorothy again and really wants nothing more to do with her. But despite all her protestations, psycho Dorothy manipulates the situation so Alice has no choice but to go along with the game. Alice wonders what she ever saw in her. She hopes she won’t end up having to kill her former crush.
