Treat Yourself to a Horror Novel

These horror, mystery, and thriller novels are available at the SCC Libraries (Central, Cherokee, and Tyger River locations).

Title: Implant
Author: F. Paul Wilson
Summary: Gina has great respect for Dr. Lathram’s genuis and has known him for many years. Dr. Lathram has revolutionized surgery with an implant he’s invented that prevents scarring, but Gina notices that several of his patients have had deadly accidents.

Title: Cookie Cutter
Author: Sterling Anthony
Summary: Lt. Mary Cunningham of the Detroit police department is tracking a terrifying serial killer with a unique calling card that he leaves at the scence of his crime: a single Oreo cookie. Cunningham quickly reads into the subtext of this object: it is a racial term for a black person who acts like a white person. As she investigates the case, Cunningham initially does not suspect that the killer is politically motivated by the uncoming mayoral election in Detroit.
