Books with author Samuel Richardson

Justin hasn’t ever really believed in the occult, even though his Grandpa Blake is an expert on the subject and has many tattered books on magic. But late one night, after stealing one of his granddad’s books, he and three companions summon Dracherion, a malicious and dangerous spirit bent on revenge for being imprisoned in the ancient book. It’s a race against time to find a way of banishing the spirit out of this world. But how do they do that when one of them can’t be trusted?

Joel Demetrius is looking forward to moving in with his new stepfamily, but as far as his sister Cassie’s concerned, they’re nothing but intruders. Cassie doesn’t want anything to do with their mother’s fiancé and his two sons, and to make matters worse their new home is a rotting old heap, neglected for decades. Joel thinks it’s interesting; Cassie thinks it’s a dump.But as fascinated as he is by the place, Joel has to admit there’s something not quite right about it. Not only does he keep seeing things out of the corner of his eye, but strangely realistic nightmares are keeping him awake. And now day is becoming just as horrifying as night. Joel’s nightmares are developing into blood-drenched hallucinations and the others are starting to feel the same strange presence from his dreams. As the events in the house gradually become harder to explain, the line between nightmare and reality is beginning to blur—and now all four teenagers are starting to wonder just who the intruders really are.From the Hardcover edition.

Hannah had just discovered a mysterious hallway lined with amazing paintings in her Aunt Abby's attic. She stopped before a painting of a beautiful flower garden. There was a yellow butterfly perched atop a ruby red rose. It was so lifelike that she reached out to touch the tiny golden wings. Startled, she jerked her hand away, then stood, stunned, as the little butterfly flew away. She was about to find out just how amazing those paintings were as they drew her into an awesome series of adventures. Ghosts of the past haunted her nightmares until she finally learned the reason for her destinations, and the power behind the paintings.
