“Phantom.” Ned and the baby, but he knows perfectly well: something frightening exists in the dark. It appeared the night when Ned’s mother nearly died. After that incident, his family moved to the coastal town of Lynnhaven—but the evil followed them.
Now Ned will have to fight it alone, and for that, the boy needs real courage, because adults don’t believe him and don’t even notice that the nightmare has already seeped into their souls and is warping everything around them.
“Final Touches.” Doctor Tom Sutherland comes to London to rest, where he meets the eccentric but brilliant plastic surgeon Roger Nordhagen and his beautiful assistant Lina Ravashol. Tom falls in love with Lina despite her unusual desires and her tendency toward cruelty—and in his blindness he doesn’t even realize what trap he’s stepped into.
After all, Dr. Nordhagen hides a bloody and terrifying secret, and Tom soon learns just how contagious madness can be.
