I'm trying to remember the name of this horror book my brother had in the 90's, i can vaguely remember the plot and the cover and nothing else. I specifically remember the cover had a red boarder, with hand drawn art with a blue demon kid with horns in a hoodie holding a kife/dagger behind his back while looking sinister at the reader while sitting on a log or branch and it had another boy i think they were at a campfire, one plot point i remember was the boy fell off a structure and was impaled with a spike or poll sticking from the ground and i remember it saying something about his internal organs falling out, but i also recall the boy had a friend who was a girl. I don't know why i'm thinking font in the title was like goosebumps but this was from what i remember it was way to dark and graphic for that series. Because my brother passed away in the 90's with leukemia i always wanted to read that book but i was too young at the time and wasn't allowed but i remember having a sneak peak at it.

EDIT: Found! It's Cry of the Icemark, by Stuart Hill.

I've been trying and failing to find this book for years, so I might as well try here! \o/
I read this YA Fantasy book in 2012 at the latest, but I doubt it was published earlier than 2000. What I remember:

1) The protagonist was a princess of some kind(?), or possibly the daughter of the leader of some kind of warrior tribe. Possibly red-haired.
2) The mother of the protagonist is dead pre-book. I think the father dies at the beginning of the first book.
3) The protagonist goes to a land with ice/snow and makes peace with a race of giant talking beasts that her people fear. I'm pretty sure the beasts are snow leopards. The protagonist rides at least one of them at some point, I think.
4) The protagonist has a guy love interest. When she meets him, he's trying to help heal someone, I think? He's some kind of wizard / has magic. He might be called Oscar.
5) At some point, near the end of the book, the love interest bursts into flames (due to magic gone wrong, maybe?) and he's horribly burnt. I seem to recall him running around a courtyard of some kind while naked?
6) The cover might be the red-haired protagonist accompained by a snow leopard / white beast, but I might be confused here.
7) There's a second book, in which the protagonist and her love interest are not teens anymore, but adults with several children, and those children are the main focus. I think the book starts with one of their children betraying the rest.

I think it had “miracle” in the title and it was sometime in the mid 80’s to early 90’s. A mother has a car accident, the car goes on fire, she can’t get the car seat out but a Good Samaritan does and I remember she originally wished the baby wasn’t rescued because he was so badly burned. Lots of surgeries and the baby lived but had burns all over.

Hi everyone. I read a book back in high school that was really interesting but for the life of my I can only remember a few details, so I’m hoping someone can help me out.

One of the details is that the main character had an old leg injury from a car crash he was in that killed his father. It’s later implied that the car crash was his fathers suicide.

The other detail is that he goes on these morning jogs with his girlfriend and at one point says something along the lines of, “I was always trying to keep up to her and she was always trying to stay one step ahead.

The way I remember it is that it was a mystery book but that’s it.

I've been searching for a book for years with no results. It is about a teenage boy who hitchhikes to live with his uncle, who works in a mine and is scarred from an accident that killed his brother, the boy's dad. They start their relationship off very rocky but the boy is so kind that he starts to break down his uncle's walls and they form a close relationship. Please help me!
