Book
Lord of the Flies
by William Golding
Golding’s iconic 1954 novel, now with a new foreword by Lois Lowry, remains one of the greatest books ever written for young adults and an unforgettable classic for readers of any age. This edition includes a new Suggestions for Further Reading by Jennifer Buehler. At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate. This far from civilization they can do anything they want. Anything. But as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far removed from reality as the hope of being rescued.

Book
Island Life
by William Meikle
Duncan McKenzie is a marine biologist working on a small, sparsely populated island in the Scottish Outer Hebrides. The island has an indigenous population of only six people except for a team of archeology students who are opening up what seems to be an early Neolithic burial mound. Two lighthouse keepers, Dick (a young trainee), and Tom (an old hand with many years of experience), are disturbed in their work by the appearance of a dazed female student, badly traumatized and bruised. The student tells of the slaughter of the rest of her party by something that they have released from the burial mound. Soon everyone the three men know is either missing or dead and there are things moving in the fog. Large, hulking, unholy things with a taste for human flesh. Then the fun starts in earnest.
