What’s new on the Shelf?
Four strangers with gifts they don’t understand…a world falling into darkness…
‘Invitation: Harbingers cycle one’ – Bill Myers, Frank Peretti, Angela Hunt, Alton Gansky
“In the first cycle of the Harbinger series, four strangers discover they have extraordinary gifts and are brought together to fight a growing darkness. Meet the members of the Harbingers team--each written by an acclaimed author--in four linked episodes!”
‘Invitation’ is the first novel in an exciting new supernatural series written by four well known Christian authors. Containing four short stories, each story tells a tale of terror written from the perspective of one of the four main characters. Featuring creepy institutes conducting strange experiments, a haunted house filled with terrifying ghosts, and strange and deadly monsters hunting prey in the night, each story is mysterious, suspenseful and chilling. Even though each story is written in a different style, they all blend well together, giving the reader the impression that they are reading a television show. Exciting and thrilling, ‘Invitation’ is a great novel for those who enjoy the horror genre and love a good scare!
Lots more exciting new novels have arrived in the Library, make sure to check out the ‘New Book’ stand for all the latest releases.
