The Place Where They Buried Your Heart
On an otherwise ordinary street in Chicago there is a house. An abandoned house where, once upon a time, terrible things happened. The children who live on this block are told by their parents to stay away. Of course, children dont listen. Children think its fun to be scared, to dare each other to go inside. Jessie Campanelli dared her little brother Paul. But unlike the other kids, Paul didnt return. His friends say that the house ate Paul. Of course, the adults didnt believe that them. Adults never believe what kids say. But the disappearance of her little brother broke Jessies family apart in ways that would never be repaired. Now an adult with a child of her own, Jessie still lives on the street with the house that ate her brother, crouched and waiting. A darkness seems to spread from the house, a darkness that feels alive and hungry. (lib)

Die Chroniken von Peter Pan - Albtraum im Nimmerland
Die wahre - und schaurige - Geschichte von Captain Hook aus der Feder von SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautorin Christina Henry!Du glaubst, meine Geschichte zu kennen. Natürlich, jeder kennt meine Geschichte, sie wird wieder und wieder erzählt. Aber sie entspricht nicht der Wahrheit. Denn Peter Pan lügt. Peter wird euch erzählen, dass ich der Bösewicht in seiner Geschichte bin, dass ich ihm Unrecht getan habe, dass ich niemals sein Freund war. Aber wie ich schon sagte, Peter lügt. Dies ist, was wirklich geschehen ist: Ich bin Peter Pan auf seine Insel gefolgt, weil er mir ewige Kindheit und unendlichen Spaß versprochen hat. Ich war sein erster und bester Freund auf der ganzen Welt und seine rechte Hand. Aber Peters Verständnis von Spaß ist so gefährlich wie ein Piratensäbel, und als ich das erkannte, wurde Nimmerland für mich zum Albtraum.Nichts für schwache Nerven: Henrys Neuerzählung von »Peter Pan« ist weniger brutal als »Die Chroniken von Alice«, aber nicht minder packend.Alle Bücher von Christina Henry:Die Chroniken von Alice - Finsternis im WunderlandDie Chroniken von Alice - Die Schwarze KöniginDie Chroniken von Alice - Dunkelheit im SpiegellandDie Chroniken von Peter Pan - Albtraum im NimmerlandDie Chroniken der Meerjungfrau - Der Fluch der Wellen>Die Bände (außer Alice) sind unabhängig voneinander lesbar.

One day Celia wakes up in a house that isn't hers with a husband she doesn't recognise and a little girl she's never seen before who claims to be her daughter. She tries to remember who she was before because she is certain that this life - the little family-run restaurant she owns in a gossipy small town, and a feud with a neighbour who ends up dead - is not hers. Allie and her friends travel to a remote cabin in the woods for the weekend. The cabin looks recently assembled and there are no animals or other life anywhere in the forest. Nothing about the place seems right and then in the middle of the night a stranger is banging on the cabin door... Maggie, along with twelve other women, wakes up in a shipping container with the number three stamped on the back of her T-shirt. If she wants to see her daughter Paige again, Maggie must complete The Maze - a deadly high-stakes obstacle course. All three women find themselves in worlds not of their own making and must fight to escape the horrors unleashed on them.

Almost every day they would call each other on the phone and one of them would say, "Meet me by the old ghost-tree" and then they would have adventures in the woods, even though there were some parts of the woods they weren't supposed to go. But in the last year things don't seem to be the same as they used to be.Miranda's a lot more interested in boys, for one thing, and Lauren can't stop being angry at her mother since her father died the previous year. Lauren's mother doesn't know what to do with a daughter she never understood, and Miranda's mother is too self-involved to realize what her not-yet-adult daughter is getting herself into. And then there is the town itself - a town where every year one girl dies mysteriously, but no one ever talks about it. A town that has experienced exceptional luck when all the towns around it died as industry and jobs left. A town cursed long ago by something that lingers in the empty house on top of the hill, and in the woods all around, and in the very soil the homes are built on.
