A killer who refused to be caught . . .
Headhunter
by Michael Slade
A killer was loose, a killer whose victims were found savagely mutilated, and no woman was safe. The police combed the sexual undergrounds of two continents in search of the fiend responsible for the trail of headless bodies. But not even Detective Robert DeClercq could prevent the madman from striking again—and again. . . .
"A real chiller . . . the most gruesome
I have ever read!"
—Robert Bloch, author of Psycho
What you don't know can hurt you.
Ghoul
by Michael Slade
The bodies were all the same. First they had been stripped naked. Then the blood had been drained from them while they were still alive. Then their hearts had been cut out. The police looked for a psycho-killer. The press screamed that a vampire was loose. But they were wrong. It was worse. . . .
"A complex horrorfeast • . .
Ghoul sure lives down to its moniker/'
— The Philadelphia Inquirer
Hunting for a savage serial killer.
Cutthroat
by Michael Slade
From the cutting edge of psychological terror comes this spellbinding novel that reaches from the darkest depths of the past to today's highest tech. ... A bizarre series of grisly murders had San Francisco in a death grip, the work of a twisted serial killer somewhere between man and monster. Behind his horrific rule lies a mystery as old as the American West itself ... a secret worth protecting . . . and worth killing for.
"Fast paced, gritty action . . . not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach." — Science Fiction Chronicle
Jack the Ripper lives.
Ripper
by Michael Slade
Who would slash the body to shreds, then rip the face off America's foremost feminist—and hang her out to die? Who would take a pair of twin hookers on a terror trip that made death seem innocent and sweet? Who would turn a secluded island gathering of bright and beautiful people into a carnival of carnage? What grim and grisly figure stood, dripping knife in hand, at the end of the most horrifying trail of death and deception Detectives Robert DeClercq and Zinc Chandler ever followed?
A lot of people were dying to find out. . . .
"Would make de Sade wince!" — Kirkus Reviews
