The Terrible Mr Tooey

"When four friends hear that the crazy old inventor in their neighborhood has left town, they decide to sneak into his house to see for themselves if all the stories about him are true. Rumors about fingers, eyeballs, brains, and dead mice preserved in glass jars are impossible for them to ignore. Unfortunately for them and without their knowing it, he comes backwhile they are in his house. And thats when the story gets exciting.

Margo and Craig's new baby sitter Mrs. Tooey turns out to be a witch, who enlists their aid in fighting her evil sister Velma's scheme to destroy Summerton.

Bobby loves his dog King, a playful German shepherd…until the day King turns and attacks him, snarling and vicious. The dog is put to sleep, but Bobby still sees him everywhere—in the garden, on the stairs, crouching, waiting. Then the horrific deaths begin—brutal, savage maulings. Terror grips the sleepy town of Fallsburg, and doors are nervously locked at night. For through the woods runs a dark shadow with dripping jaws, eluding pursuit with uncanny skill. Now, more than ever, the scientist down the road must guard the deadly secret of the monster they’ve unleashed.

A stunning new novel from the two-time Man Booker shortlisted author of The Secret Scripture. Sebastian Barry's latest novel, A Thousand Moons, is now available. Irishman Jack McNulty is a “temporary gentleman”—an Irishman whose commission in the British army in World War II was never permanent. Sitting in his lodgings in Accra, Ghana, in 1957, he’s writing the story of his life with desperate urgency. He cannot take one step further without examining all the extraordinary events that he has seen. A lifetime of war and world travel—as a soldier in World War II, an engineer, a UN observer—has brought him to this point. But the memory that weighs heaviest on his heart is that of the beautiful Mai Kirwan, and their tempestuous, heartbreaking marriage. Mai was once the great beauty of Sligo, a magnetic yet unstable woman who, after sharing a life with Jack, gradually slipped from his grasp. Award-winning author Sebastian Barry’s The Temporary Gentleman is the sixth book in his cycle of separate yet interconnected novels that brilliantly reimagine characters from Barry’s own family.
