New Releases by Whitley Strieber

An original anthology celebrating Rod Serling''s landmark television series When it first aired in 1959, The Twilight Zone was nothing less than groundbreaking television. Freed from much of the censors'' strict oversight because of the show''s classification as "science fiction," the 156 filmed episodes explored powerful and moving human themes—love, hate, pride, jealousy, terror—in their own unique style.The show has since inspired two revivals, as well as fiction, comic books, and magazines, and even a pinball game and theme park rides. Just as important, it sparked the imaginations of countless writers, filmmakers, and fans around the world, and is considered a seminal show for broadening the horizons of television. This anthology will be an all-new collection of stories written in the vein of the original television show. Edited and featured and introduction by Carol Serling, the anthology will include brand new stories by science fiction and fantasy luminaries such as Whitley Strieber, Loren D. Estleman, Joe Lansdale, R. L. Stine, Timothy Zahn, and Peter S. Beagle, as well as writers from the original series, Earl Hammer and Harlan Ellison®, all in honor of Rod''s incredible vision. At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

L''éternelle jeunesse est une chose merveilleuse pour les rares personnes à en jouir, mais Miriam Blaylock voit plutôt cela comme une malédiction, une existence à jamais marquée par la mort et le chagrin. Même si elle peut accorder à ses amants (ceux dont elle ne bois pas le sang) une existence incomparablement pour longue, elle sait qu''en fin de compte tous eux qu''elle aime finissent par dépérir et mourir. Maintenant elle est hantée par les signes de la disparition prochaine de son mari adoré, à peine âgé de quelques siècles. Elle contacte le docteur Sarah Roberts, une spécialiste du vieillissement qui a peut-être trouvé dans le sang une substance qui serait la clef de l''immortalité. Mais celle-ci ne risque-t-elle par de découvrir que Miriam est un vampire ?

Elle est en vie. La faim insatiable de Miriam Blaylock ne connaît pas de limites. Son incomparable beauté a fait d''elle une légende parmi les Gardiens. Ses nombreux amants ont été réduits en cendres, et renvoyés au néant. Elle a percé à jour les secrets de la civilisation, et les mystères de la vie. Durant des siècles, elle a acquis la sagesse de Dieu, et l''intelligence du diable. Durant des siècles, elle a sillonné le monde sans être repérée. Durant des siècles, elle s''est sentie en sécurité.

An ancient vampire, beautiful beyond words, a vulnerable young man drawn to her by a power beyond his understanding, two desperate parents searching across the world for the son they love -- these are the riveting, unexpected elements of Whitley Strieber''s extraordinary new novel. Lilith, the ages-old mother of the dying race of vampires, has been forced to come out of her cave deep in the Egyptian desert in search of food -- human blood. But she knows nothing about the modern world. She can''t drive a car, rent a room, turn on a TV. She struggles to New York, penniless, vulnerable, and starving, protected only by her beauty and her power to capture men with desire...especially certain very special men. The instant she sees young Ian Ward, she knows that he is part vampire himself. She knows that Ian, if he ever tastes human blood, will belong to her forever. And she needs him desperately, to help her survive and live in this harsh new world of jets and credit cards and guns. She sets out on a campaign of seduction -- as sensuous as it is terrifying -- to touch human blood to Ian''s lips, which will then become for him a drug a thousand times more addictive than heroin. Ian''s father, Paul Ward, part vampire turned expert and obsessive hunter of vampires, knows that if the blood transforms Ian, Paul will have to kill his own son. The titanic conflict between father and son and seductress, hunter and hunted and huntress, comes to its surprise conclusion in the secret chambers beneath the great pyramids, where the hidden truths of all human history are stored. From its beginning in the dark back alleys of Cairo to its totally unexpected ending, Lilith''s Dream draws the reader down seductive new paths of discovery, into places where no novel has ever before. With Lilith''s Dream Whitley Strieber has created a vampire so original and a story so new that he has virtually invented a new genre.

Now, haunted by signs of her adoring husband''s imminent demise, Miriam sets out in serach of a new partner, one who can quench her thirst for love and withstand the test of time. She finds it in the beautiful Sarah Roberts, a brilliant young scientist who may hold the secret to immortality. But one thing stands between the intoxicating Miriam Blaylock and the object of her desire: Dr. Tom Haver...and he''s about to realize that love and death to hand in hand.

Killer tornadoes. Violent tropical storms. Devastating temperatures. Are these just the prelude to an unprecedented environmental disaster in our near future? Two of America''s leading investigators of unexplained phenomena -- Art Bell, the top-rated late-night radio talk-show host, and Whitley Strieber, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Communion and the legendary Nature''s End -- have made a shocking discovery based on years of research with top scientists and archaeologists from around the world. Now, they reveal what powerful interests are trying to keep hidden: rapid changes in the atmosphere caused by greenhouse gases have set humanity on an incredibly dangerous course toward a catastrophic change in climate in the immediate future. It will begin with a massive, unprecedented storm that will devastate the Northern Hemisphere. This will be followed by floods unlike anything ever seen before -- or perhaps a new Ice Age. They also unearth evidence that this has happened in the past -- in fact, that it has occurred regularly throughout geologic history, but so infrequently that our only record of the last such storm is contained in ancient myths and flood legends. From El Niño to the African droughts, to the shrinking of the polar ice caps, Bell and Strieber identify the warning signs to those willing to see. They point out that the Earth''s regulatory system is like a rubber band: you can stretch it just so far before it snaps back -- with a vengeance. Since 1995, each successive year has set new records for violent weather. In 1999 a major climatological study predicted that the Earth will soon be warmer than it has been in millions of years. Bell and Strieber tell us why they believe a rebound is imminent -- a rapid and violent cooling that will cover the Northern Hemisphere in a sheath of choking ice and snow. But it''s not too late to reverse our destiny. No mere harbinger of an inevitable doomsday, The Coming Global Superstorm is instead a spirited call to action that offers a wealth of viable solutions to this mammoth challenge to humankind. Through a careful and impressively researched dissection of the myths and legends of ancient cultures and an insightful examination of the best of modern environmental science, Bell and Strieber guide us on an intellectual journey as dark as the murky origins of man and as bright as the promise of an interstellar future.
