The Wild Man

3.0 (3)

Lynx-eyed, he looked more devil than man That was Rebel Storm's first--and lasting--impression of Luiz Manchete, self-appointed king of the Amazon jungle. Appropriately, the natives called him Curupira, the wild man. Rebel wanted to do anthropological research in the heart of the jungle--a venture that Luiz savagely opposed. She refused to take no for an answer... then suddenly found herself caught between primitive head-hunting natives and the equally dangerous Curupira!

Midnight

4.3 (4)

"All Jack's life, the nightmares had haunted him, dragging him back to a place where it was always midnight ... Molly and Jack are deeply in love but their relationship is being torn apart by Jack's nightmares. Trapped in a place where he is taunted by eyes in the gloom, it is becoming harder for Molly to pull him free, and when daylight comes the haunting visions remain. He can make no sense of them, though when he is deep in the dreams, he knows exactly what's demanded of him. Realising that Jack is being driven close to the edge, Molly urges him to seek help, and with their relationship faltering, Jack decides to hunt for answers. His search takes him back to the place where he grew up, and it soon becomes clear that he must trace people from his past, particularly the one person he could turn to through his troubled childhood. But Jack could never have imagined the true horrors of what he is about to uncover ..."
