Keep the Lights On: Novels Starring Scary Houses

If you’re going over the river and through the woods this holiday season, to Grandmother’s house or wherever, what if you turned the corner, drove up the gravel lane, and there was — the house from Psycho? All turreted and gray, as gothic as a Charles Addams drawing. Wouldn’t you…

Jon Land’s Thrill List: April Excites With Old Hollywood, Hitchcockian Technique and Historic Horror

I don’t know how David Baldacci juggles the number of books and series he does with such skill and aplomb. For proof, look no further than Dream Town (Grand Central), his third tale featuring World War II vet, and now private investigator, Aloysius Archer. The period piece, set in 1953,…

The Confessions of an Agatha-holic: Bring on the Murders!

I know this sounds crazy, but sometimes, fictional characters become your friends. After plunging head-first into M.C. Beaton’s best-selling Agatha Raisin Mystery Series (Minotaur), that’s exactly how I feel about the blundering, self-absorbed, outspoken, middle-aged, sexually promiscuous, shop-a-holic, gin-swilling amateur detective, Agatha Raisin. What makes “Aggie” so appealing? Her misadventures…

6 Utterly Suspenseful Tales Written by and Starring Women

Anticipation is a delightful sort of agony, and within the realms of fiction, it’s what keeps us turning pages. In romance novels, it’s the clear tension between characters, the will-they-won’t-they of it all. In fantasy and science fiction, it’s the adventure, knowing something wonderous and impossible awaits us as we…
