Everything is quiet. Too quiet! There is only the sound of pages turning, and your heart beating, hammering, echoing in your ears, but still you read on.

| Twilight By: Stephenie Meyer    | All Books Just £3.75 "I'd never given much thought to how I would die – though I'd had reason enough in the last few months – but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me. Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something." | Just After Sunset By: Stephen King   | All Books Just £3.75 "Spooky, mysterious, gripping and satisfyingly scary" Just after sunset, as darkness grips the imagination, is the time when you feel the unexpected creep into the every day. As familiar journeys take a different turn, ordinary objects assume extraordinary powers. |
