It’s the year 2000, and Jim Hook must stay in the rigorous prep school — the Bast — at any cost. He is a scholarship student, and his older brother — the angel of the family — had graduated from there before dying in a ski accident. His father had graduated from the Bast, too. Now Jim must, in many ways, take his brother’s place. Born into wealth, but growing up in genteel poverty, Jim has been living his family’s dream more than his own — but the Bast is the living symbol of his salvation. Still, he’s just been caught cheating on a test, and because of the strict honor code, Jim, a sophomore, now faces quick expulsion.
But that’s before the Cadaver Society gets to him — they vouch for his innocence, and in doing so, own his soul.
The Cadaver Society is a secret cadre of six students who manipulate, lie, cheat, and steal within the prep school to get ahead.
But at their core is the secret of a murder that occurred many years ago.
But even Jim doesn’t realize how special he is — that he is very different from the others. And when he is finally initiated into the Cadaver Society, he activates something within the school grounds…

Two New Cemetery Dance Titles Announced!
From multi award-winning and New York Times bestselling writer Tim Lebbon comes this huge collection of the very best of his short fiction.
His first short fiction collection As the Sun Goes Down (Night Shade Book), attracted rave reviews. Now, Last Exit for the Lost collects the best of Lebbon’s output from 2000 to the present day. Weighing in at over 560 pages and containing 150,000 words of fiction, it also features two brand new, never-before-published stories: the novelette The Evolutionary, and the novella Nothing Heavenly.
• In Kissing at Shadows, a man makes a yearly journey through an apocalyptic landscape to visit the memory of his wife…
• In The Stuff of the Stars, Leaking, a dead sea creature washed up on a remote beach proves to be more mysterious than it first appears…
• A man loses his son… and he will do anything to get him back In Perpetuity…
• In The Horror of the Many Faces, Watson witnesses his friend Sherlock Holmes committing horrendous crimes that the great man himself would have trouble solving…
• A boy meets a mysterious stranger who can heal dead animals in The Evolutionary… but is there some fearful design to their meeting…?
• And captured by angels or demons, a prisoner can find Nothing Heavenly in either…
Lebbon has been described as “…the most exciting voice in the horror genre since Poppy Z Brite and Bentley Little”, “…the most exciting new name in horror for years”, and “…one of the very few genuinely talented British writers of thought-provoking horror and dark fantasy”.
If you’re brave enough to step through this Last Exit, you’ll see why…
Leading off with the controversial novella Fuckin’ Lie Down Already and concluding with 45 of the author’s most acclaimed poems, Futile Efforts is an incredible collection of horror and suspense. Whether you’re experiencing Piccirilli’s compelling writing for the first time, or you’re a long-time fan and collector, this is a must-have addition to your bookshelf.
