ever read Lovecraft in the dark?
...now you can.


More Early Horror Works
H.P. Lovecraft

HP Lovecraft More Early Horror Works

More chilling, unabridged stories from one of America's greatest horror writers in this 2008 release.

In The Alchemist, Antoine tries to escape the stain of a crime committed by a noble ancestor. A daydreamer waits for years until it is his time to gain entrance into The Tomb, only to find untold horrors. A ragged old man who takes in a traveler is eerily fascinated by The Picture in the House.

Praise for the previous edition: "The stories practically come to life as the words flow from the speakers... Reminiscent of Poe and King, Lovecraft does a marvelous job in describing the fear of mankind and the desperate actions taken when succumbed by fear... Eloquently produced."
- Robert Denson, Sunpiper Press

#1 new contemporary
Christian book on amazon.com

STRYPER
Loud N' Clear

Dale Erickson
& Jesse Sturdevant

Stryper: Loud N' Clear
This audio book chronicles the entire history of this legendary Christian metal band from the members' childhoods through their triumphant "Reborn"" album and tour.

"Hearing this audio book somehow brings up the
excitement level of these stories, as they come alive
and bring the listener to the edge of their seat."
- Doug Van Pelt, Heaven's Metal


The book covers about everything there is to know about Stryper, including the Roxx Regime era, and not just the fluff. Questions like, 'how did Stryper evolve,' and 'what really happened during the Against The Law time period?' are all answered here. The answers come directly from the band members themselves and many others, derived from countless hours of interviews.

"I was blown away... it had me moment by moment."
- Ken Metcalf, former Stryper keyboardist


"I think it's going to be an eye-opening experience
for a lot of fans because they'll be able to understand
things that they didn't before about Stryper."
- Janice Sweet, Michael & Robert's mom & former manager
