I KNEW THE STORIES: MISTS AND FOG SWIRLING IN THE MIRRORS. A SENSE THAT SOMETHING ELSE RESIDED IN THE STUDIO. WHAT WAS IT? IT WAS ALL NONSENSE, I THOUGHT. OR WAS IT? I'd heard the rumors about bizarre phenomena and a disturbing atmosphere at the Romanova Ballet Conservatory. I didn't care. This was the most important day of my life: I was auditioning for Alexandra Romanova, one of the Kirov Ballet's greatest superstars. Every nerve in my body tingled with anticipation. Nothing would stop me, not even the whisper, I need you, when I arrived at the conservatory prepared to dance my heart out. Then, a raging midday storm hit halfway through the class and unleashing its fury, knocking out power, and engulfing the dance studio in pitch-black darkness. While thunder shook the walls and rattled the windows, we stood motionless in the dark, waiting for the gale to pass. Suddenly, a blinding flash of lightning illuminated the room. In the mirror, I saw a girl in a flowing white dance dress, which seemed to blend into the mist swirling around her. On her feet were white pointe shoes, and her porcelain skin was offset by her long, rich brown hair hanging over one shoulder. She glowed with an otherworldly radiance in the eerie light. Her eyes locked on mine. She reached out her right hand toward me. I stared, my mind filled with a thousand questions. Another lightning bolt flashed, and she vanished as fast as she'd appeared, leaving me in a state of bewildered fascination. The lights flicked back on. I glanced around the room. No one in the class was dressed like the girl in the mirror. I shuddered and shook off the strange apparition. I couldn't allow anything to distract me. When the class resumed as if nothing had happened, my focus was laser-sharp, my ambition burning brighter than ever. I had to impress Madame Alex. I would give everything for the chance to dance in her company. The question was, would I dance in her company or die in it? WHAT PARANORMAL MYSTERY ...

Miss Marple Struts Her Stuff by Anthony E Thorogood (Burgoyne Publishing) (28 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Jack Hamma's assignment: protect a beautiful Chinese girl. At Adelaide airport she goes into the ladies room. She disappears. A relentless thriller. Every move is a false start. Every clue is a red herring. Reviews: 'The latest instalment of Jack Hamma and his detective agency is currently my favorite.' 'The pace of the book is fast and this is matched by the pace of the humor.' 'The ending, it had me going oooooooh!!! ' 'It ended with a twist that took me utterly by surprise.' 'A really strong book.' 'There are car chases aplenty, climbing up buildings whilst being shot at, epic hand to hand fight scenes, big old shoot-outs and one hefty door that comes to the rescue.' 'Difficult to put this book down because I kept wondering how sun-loving tea-drinking Jack Hamma would continue to escape from the baddies and fight another day. Often the answer is surprising - as he zips past the roadblock in an ice-cream van. It's pure fantasy in the best tradition. Jack leaps (often to conclusions), throws quips and punches, and shoots off his mouth through every dire situation. He's full of charmingly misplaced confidence and oddly wholesome food. A great romp.'

Marin's Dale by Evan Bollinger (Dark Niche Publishing) (75 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

This is neither invasion nor extermination. The truth is far more disturbing... There were clothes everywhere. Shirts, blouses, underwear, jeans, coats--everything. All discarded in a large swath that extended for probably 300 feet and was as wide as the road itself. Some were stained with the fluid, others still pristine. Tyler stared to the sky above. The scar had returned. But this time, it was not a scar, so much as a single giant orb of red light. Like a giant camera, it flashed succinctly. It was as much a part of the sky as the moon or the sun, or the stars or the planes or birds that had once traced the celestial bounds. As the crimson flash raped the sky and land, the creatures below transformed. Squirming in pools of slime, they went. From gelatinous grey, to hardened gray, with slits and holes ripping through; they peeled and jerked, and the whole time the screaming -- the shrill, pained screaming as their bodies destroyed themselves to create themselves. They were becoming human. Ahead, he could see it. The line of mindless bodies snaked to the precipice, the very edge. And then they plunged. One after another, releasing interlaced fingers, the bodies stepped off the edge. They plummeted, again, and again, and again; tumbling, twisting, spinning free and wild; so easy, so gentle. Like snowflakes on a quiet night. When a crimson flash rips through sky high above, few are there to see it. But something has arrived. And beneath those mountain peaks, the city of Marin's Dale will soon find out... Assimilation is just beginning... Warning: sexuality, profanity, and alien horror violence
