The Call of the Wild (1903) and White Fang (1906) are world famous animal stories. Set in Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s, The Call of the Wild is about Buck, the magnificent cross-bred offspring of a St Bernard and a Scottish Collie. Stolen from his pampered life on a Californian estate and shipped to the Klondike to work as a sledge dog, he triumphs over his circumstances and becomes the leader of a wolf pack. The story records the ‘decivilisation’ of Buck as he answers ‘the call of the wild’, an inherent memory of primeval origins to which he instinctively responds. In contrast, White Fang relates the tale of a wolf born and bred in the wild which is civilised by the master he comes to trust and love....

remade the horror genre in the early twentieth century, discarding ghosts and witches and instead envisaging mankind at the mercy of a chaotic and malevolent universe. This selection of stories ranges from early tales of nightmares and insanity such as "The Outsider" and "The Rats in the Walls", through the grotesquely comic "Herbert West - Reanimator" and "The Hound", to the extra-terrestrial terror of "The Call of Cthulhu", which fuses traditional super-naturalism with science fiction. Including the definitive corrected texts, this collection reveals the development of Lovecraft`s mesmerizing narrative style and establishes him as a hugely influential - and visionary - American writer.

Presented together in one volume, here are two of the greatest and most popular animal stories ever written. Even to designate them `animal stories` seems to undervalue them since these tremendous works are so much more than mere children`s tales. The Call of the Wild tells how Buck, a domestic dog, is kidnapped from California to pull sleds in the Arctic wastes. In the second story, White Fang, three-quarter wolf and one-quarter dog, endures considerable suffering in the Arctic before being taken to live in California. The two narratives are remarkable for the vividness of their descriptions and the success with which London imagines life from a non-human perspective.

When DI Terry Connor turns up on David Hunter`s doorstep, it`s an unwelcome reminder of the past in more ways than one. The two used to be friends before Connor`s behaviour caused a bitter rift. And the news the policeman brings is even less welcome: the psychotic rapist and murderer Jerome Monk has escaped from high security prison. Monk`s is a name all too familiar to Hunter. Eight years before he`d part of an ill-fated Body Recovery team assembled to try and find the graves of Monk`s teenage victims on the bleak expanse of Dartmoor. Only one of the missing girls` bodies was ever found, and Monk`s own controversial involvement in the search led to more failure and a violent denouement. And now Monk is on the loose - and seems to be...
