JUDGE DREDD // GHOST TOWN Mega-City One¸ 2137 AD. Home to 50 million citizens¸ and still recovering from the decimation of the Chaos Bug¸ this urban hell is situated along the east coast of postapocalyptic North America¸ where crime is rampant¸ poverty is rife¸ and unemployment near universal. Tensions run a constant knife-edge and only the zero-tolerance Judges - empowered to dispense instant justice - can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD - he is the Law! Attacks on the city have left Justice Department's manpower resources severely limited¸ and so Dredd is trialling a ranger programme... FUTURE SHOCKS // RE-INCARN-8 Out in the vast reaches of the universe¸ there are an infinite number of stories waiting to be told. These cautionary tales pass from traveller to traveller in the spaceports and around campfires on distant planets¸ acquiring the status of legend¸ their shocking ends a salutory lesson in hubris. From chronicles of the lowliest swamp denizens in backwater quadrants to the rise and fall of rulers of entire star systems¸ anything is possible in these twisted trips into the galaxy's dark side. Abandon your preconceptions¸ expect the unexpected¸ and take a journey beyond the edges of the imagination… DREAMS OF DEADWORLD // DEATH Deadworld¸ a planet similar to Earth in another dimension. Once¸ this world was thriving - but then a psychopathic dentist's son called Sidney was transformed into the creature known as Judge Death¸ and he determined that since all crime is committed by the living therefore life itself should be eradicated. Creating similarly undead lieutenants to aid him in his task¸ they set about massacring an entire planet¸ purging it of every breathing thing. Now¸ they stand on the bones of a global graveyard¸ ruminating on past deeds and wondering where they can take their murderous mission next... THE ALIENIST // THE HAUNTING OF HEX HOUSE England¸ 1908.

There is more to her than meets the eye¸ however¸ and she uses her companion Sebastian Wetherall - actually an actor called Reginald Briggs - to divert attention away from her otherworldly powers. Now¸ they fight a malign entity... Note: This digital edition includes the PDF version of the book. Note: Due to territory restrictions this title is only available in certain countries.
