Now in paperback An Old Man's Winter Night: Ghostly tales is the most recent gathering of ghost tales by Tom Dawe, one of Newfoundland and Labrador's most distinguished writeres. It includes tales of visitations both malevolent and benign. There are stories of ghostly galleons, of unsettling graves, of srange omens and fetches; an eerie tale of a notoriously haunted house, and another of a ghostly sled dog that returns to save its master who has been lost in a blizzard. All the stories are based on ones Dawe himself has collected over the years. Targeted to middle readers, the book includes original wood-cut illustrations by acclaimed artist Veselina Tomova. As powerful as the stories themselves, Tomova's haunting images capture perfectly the book's dark moodiness. These are chilling tales--perfect for reading or telling by the fireside on a cold winter's night.

Some ghosts still live and breathe... Six months ago, on the night Winter Black and her fellow agents took down The Preacher, a mall massacre occurred. Today, one of the gunmen responsible for taking fifteen innocent lives that night is killed-with a well-placed bullet fired from nearly a mile away. Clearly a professional, either military or law enforcement, the sniper leaves zero evidence, other than a note. When more suspected rapists and murderers turn up dead, the killer's pattern becomes clear: they're acting as judge, jury, and executioner for a series of cases that were brushed off by the cops. How could a person not cheer a little? Until the spotlight is shone on one of the FBI's own. Ultimately, it's a matter of right or wrong. Winter knows just where the line is-she learned the night her parents were slaughtered and her baby brother disappeared. After all, that night made her who she is, and she'll uphold the law, even for the scumbags who deserve to die. Even while the ghosts of her past grow closer and closer. Book five of Mary Stone's breakthrough Winter Black series, Winter's Ghost is an ingeniously conceived psychological thriller that will keep readers enthralled while making sure their door is locked-and pick proof.
