Excerpt: ST. BRIGID'S FLOOD.

Four or five men were gathered together that evening in Forsyth's rooms, talking the usual talk of anglers when they congregate -- flies, bait, good days, bad days, droughts, and floods. Forsyth was just expressing his preference for the extreme type of flood river.

" A regular mountain stream, you know -- no lake on it, no feeders to speak of, but just the scourings of the hills. When it comes down there's no need to bother about waiting till it clears; you watch till it stops rising, and then fish at once; and some time or other when you're on the water you're pretty sure to hit the psychological moment.

" " Yes; but how long does it last ? " put in Legge. "Oh, an hour, two hours, six hours.

But it's amusing, anyhow, to watch the water changing; it keeps up the interest -- it's dramatic. I've seen a stream at Carrick get up five feet in the night and go down to where it was in the forenoon.

" " If you come to that," said Grayson, knocking his pipe on the mantelpiece, " I've seen a flood get up five feet in five minutes." Grayson was a man none of us had seen before.

Forsyth had picked him up somewhere in Ireland. So, although what he said sounded pretty steep, none of us protested.

"You mean a tide wave," Legge suggested politely. "Not in the least; just a flood out of the mountains like what Forsyth talks of.

" -"The Washington Post " On a brisk autumn day, a thirteen-year-old boy stands on the shores of the gray Atlantic, near a silent amusement park and a fading ocean resort called the Alhambra. The past has driven Jack Sawyer here: his father is gone, his mother is dying, and the world no longer makes sense.

But for Jack everything is about to change. For he has been chosen to make a journey back across America-and into another realm.

One of the most influential and heralded works of fantasy ever written, "The Talisman "is an extraordinary novel of loyalty, awakening, terror, and mystery. Jack Sawyer, on a desperate quest to save his mother's life, must search for a prize across an epic landscape of innocents and monsters, of incredible dangers and even more incredible truths.

The prize is essential, but the journey means even more. "Let the quest begin," .

It's a relief to find popular fiction that is as unpretentious yet rich in literary allusion and human detail as "Black House,"" "-The Wall Street Journal " Jack Sawyer is a retired Los Angeles homicide detective living in the small hamlet of Tamarak, Wisconsin. He has no recollection of the events twenty years ago that led him to a parallel universe called the Territories to save his mother from certain death.

When a series of gruesome murders occur in western Wisconsin, Jack's buddy, the local chief of police, begs Jack to help the inexperiencedforce find the killer. As cryptic messages in Jack's waking dreams become increasingly impossible to ignore, he is drawn back to the Territories and to his own hidden past, where he must find the soul-strength to enter a terrifying house at the end of a deserted tract of forest-and to encounter the obscene and ferocious evils sheltered within it.

"JACK'S SAGA OVERFLOWS WITH DARK WIT, SLY LITERARY REFERENCES, SUSPENSE, AND HEARTACHE. What elevates "Black House" beyond ordinary horror novels is the richness of its cast.
