Playground of the Dead is a macabre tale set in a seaside California community of Clear View. There there have been a number of unexplained deaths of the town's citizens - all related to tragic incidents involving its children. The police chief, Braden Powell, a man dealing with his own troubled, tragic history, has been investigating the mysterious occurrences with frustratingly minimal success. Gradually, he comes to realize there may be a sinister, supernatural connection too horrifying to comprehend.

"THE STEPHEN KING OF MANITOBA" - Western Report magazine In the wilderness depths of the Canadian north is said to lurk an unimaginable horror; an ancient evil spoken of in hushed tones around a roaring campfire by the Chamrais elders. A malevolent spirit whose dark influence possesses those who encounter it with a violent and obscene hunger. The town of Batesville has fallen victim to this evil, though a political committee has used its influence to cover up these gruesome incidents in an effort to salvage the financial future of the economically challenged community. But when a young indigenous reporter from the city named Travis Randall begins working at the town newspaper, he starts to suspect that rampant alcohol abuse among the Chamrais and other suspicious events may have more sinister implications. Warned not to probe into these situations, Travis's determined investigations bring him into conflict with the town officials, a move that threatens to endanger not only his career... but possibly his life. Although Travis exposes himself to a human threat, an even more ominous and supernatural menace awaits as he discovers the truth behind the legend of The Wendigo. Author of To Sleep, Perchance to Scream: The Rebirth of Adamm, also published by BearManor.¿

Russell Crowe has been compared to Marlon Brando, Errol Flynn, Spencer Tracy and Humphrey Bogart. He demonstrates a versatility as an actor rarely seen among today's generation of Hollywood stars. His cast of memorable characters ranges from the raw physicality of the Roman general Maximus in Gladiator or the skinhead Hando in Romper Stomper to the psychological complexity of the brilliant but mentally ill mathematician John Nash in A Beautiful Mind. Crowe's climb to the top of Hollywood's A-list has been a tough one, made all the more difficult by his feisty temperament and a cocky--some say arrogant--self-confidence. His off-screen brawls and romantic dalliances have made headlines as often as his Oscar-winning performances. This biography reveals the larger-than-life personality that fuels both the fiercely dedicated actor and the Australian bad boy--a personality that has taken Russell Crowe from a one-time rock 'n roll wannabe Down Under to his status today as a true Hollywood superstar.
