But when two inmates break out of the town's maximum security prison, everything changes. Doors are locked, helicopters fly over the woods, and police patrol the school grounds. Everyone is on edge, and fear brings out the worst in some people Nora has known her whole life. Even if the inmates are caught, she worries that home might never feel the same.

It is the summer of 1971. Twenty-one-year-old Charlie Rogers has just graduated from the University of Texas in Austin and is hitching a ride toward the backwoods of East Texas. His first adventure along the uncertain and open-ended path of adulthood is a job as a counselor for a group of emotionally disturbed, delinquent adolescents from the south side of Chicago. Charlies will, his responsibility, and his confidence in his ability to persevere against the trials of life will be tested in his attempts to guide the manic behavior of these directionless boys. The boys have been unwanted by their parents, the system, and the boys ranch where they currently reside, as they will soon be sent off to the watch of Charlie and the other counselors, where they will yet again become someone elses problem. There is Russ, who displays unpredictable bursts of sadistic violence, Sherman, whose illiteracy is offset by his good cheer, Vince, whose recklessness is matched by his spirit and determination, and seven others. The events in this story are true, though the names have been changed. Wolf Creek is a story of maturation, the strength of the human spirit, the cruelty of humanity, and the power of love and friendship to mend even the most broken of hearts.

The outback's a great place to disappear: lots of country and no one around. Plenty of space for someone to hide. Or to hide a body. When wiry youngster Mick Taylor starts as a jackaroo at a remote Western Australian sheep station, he tries to keep his head down among the rough company of the farmhands. But he can't keep the devils inside him hidden for long. Mick's surprised to discover he's not the only one with the killer impulse. Is Cutter, the station's surly shooter, on to him? And do the rough cops following the trail of the dead have their own agenda, outside the law? In the first of a series of Wolf Creek companion novels, the cult film's writer and director Greg Mclean takes us back to the beginning, when Mick was a scrawny boy, the only witness to the grisly death of his little sister. This book provides an unforgettably bloody answer to the question of nature vs nurture. What made Mick Taylor Australian horror's most terrifying psycho killer?

Being a teenager falsely accused of terrorizing your high school is an unimaginable concept. When threatening letters are sent to her teacher by someone known only as The Watcher, fifteen-year-old Lenore Savage is the one who stands accused. Sent away to Wolf Creek Alternative School, she vows to clear her name. Expecting the worst, she finds qualities she never imagined existed in such a place. She meets Artie, the boy next door type, and is infatuated almost at once, becomes fast friends with Hannah, a gritty, tough city girl like herself, and is blown away by the unrelenting support of the assistant director, Star. It is only Buck, director of the Alternative, who seems to hate her from the start and as that hatred progresses, she comes to realize it has nothing to do with false accusations. Darker things lurk at the alternative, secrets that had been buried for decades, now resurfacing in the most horrifying ways. When the murder of a student shatters the small school and unleashes new waves of terrifying paranormal activity, Lenore wonders if she will survive long enough to prove her innocence or uncover the truth of this refuge for troubled kids.
