Sixteen-year-old Georgia Richter feels conflicted about the funeral home her parents run--especially because she has the ability to summon ghosts.
With one touch of any body that passes through Richter Funeral Home, she can awaken the spirit of the departed.

From Penn Jillette of the legendary magic duo Penn & Teller: a rollicking crime caper that will bend your mind like a spoon.
“Random is everything you would hope from Penn Jillette and so much more. Random numbers are seemingly crazy, unconnected, and unpredictable: this fabulous, wondrously compelling, funny, and original novel is all that too. As for laughs—it passed the the fling-up-the-head-snort-and-slap-the-thigh test a dozen times in the first few pages alone. Hugely recommended.� —Stephen Fry, actor/writer
“Bravo, Bobby Ingersoll. Encore, Penn Jillette!� —Debbie Harry
Two weeks before his twenty-first birthday, Las Vegas native Bobby Ingersoll finds out he’s inherited a crushing gambling debt from his scumbag father. The debt is owed to an even scummier bag named Fraser Ruphart who oversees his bottom-rung criminal empire from the classy-adjacent Trump International Hotel. Bobby’s prospects of paying off the note, which comes due the day he turns twenty-one, are about as dim as the sign on the tower’s facade.
The two weeks pass in the blink of a (snake) eye, but before Bobby’s luck runs out, he stumbles upon enough cash to pay Ruphart off and change his family’s fortune. More importantly, he finds himself with a new, for lack of a better word, faith.
Bobby does not consign his big break to a “higher power�—what Penn Jillette hero ever could? Instead, he devises and devotes himself to Random, a philosophy where his life choices are based entirely on the roll of his “lucky� dice. What follows is a hilarious exploration into not so much what defines us as what divines us when we give over every decision—from what to eat to whom to marry to how or when to die—to the random fall of two numbered cubes.
Combining the intellectual curiosity of Richard Dawkins with the humor and grit of an Elmore Leonard antihero, Jillette’s up-on-his-luck Ingersoll is the character we need to help us navigate the chaos of the post-truth era.
Well, unless his roll runs cold.

In a world ruled by fear of witches, some secrets are deadly. A thrilling new fantasy adventure set in historical London for fans of V.E. Schwab's City of Ghosts and Serafina and the Black Cloak.
Emmaline Black has a secret. She can hear the rhythm of heartbeats. Not just her own, but others' too. It's a rhythm she's learned to control, and that can only mean one thing... Emma's a witch.
In a world where a sentence of witchcraft comes with dire consequences and all children who have reached the age of thirteen are tested to ensure they have no witch blood, Emma must attempt to stamp out her power before her own test comes. But the more she researches, the more she begins to suspect that her radically anti-witch aunt and mother are hiding something -- the truth about their sister, her Aunt Lenore, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances years ago.
The day of the test comes, and Emma's results not only pair her up with strange new friends, but set her on a course to challenge everything she's ever been taught about magic, and reveal long-buried family secrets. It seems witches may not have been so easy to banish after all. Secret cities, untapped powers, missing family members -- Emma is about to discover a whole new world.

Weird and Horrific Stories collects some of H. P. Lovecraft’s finest early work. Although his reputation as one of the world’s greatest writers of horror and weird fiction remains undisputed, much of his writing was published in such pulp literary magazines as Argosy, the United Amateur, and Weird Tales, making it difficult to find proper collections. Weird and Horrific Stories attempts to bridge this gap for modern readers, bringing them face to face with some of Lovecraft’s most terrifying creations.
The Alchemist, originally written in 1908 and published in 1916, is the story of Count Antoine, whose ancestors were cursed after killing a fearsome dark wizard named Michel Mauvais. Every generation since has seen the death of its male members at the age of thirty-two, an age fast approaching for Antoine. Lonely and terrified, he sets out to put an end to the cycle of death and suffering. Dagon, which appeared in The Vagrant in 1919, is a story told by a morphine-addicted man who survived a terrible shipwreck during the First World War. In The Cats of Ulthar, published in 1920, an unnamed narrator recounts the legal history of the town of Ulthar, which once was the home to a sadistic couple known for their obsession with torturing and killing house cats. Weird and Horrific Stories collects over thirty stories written at the height of Lovecraft’s career.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of H. P. Lovecraft’s Weird and Horrific Stories is a classic work of American horror reimagined for modern readers.

Romantic and Horrific Stories is a collection of short fiction by Bram Stoker. Although he is largely remembered as the author of Dracula (1897), one of the greatest horror novels of all time, Stoker was a versatile writer whose gift for transmitting terror is matched by his ability to craft convincing and moving tales of love.
The Crystal Cup, first published in London Society in 1872, is the story of an artist who is forced to create a flawless crystal vase for the king. Having left his wife and home behind, he suffers under a series of constraints and grueling demands. The Chain of Destiny is a bestselling epistolary tale featuring hypnotism, magic, and supernatural elements that first appeared in The Shamrock in 1875. In Stoker’s 1898 tale Bengal Roses, a teenager from the country falls for a beautiful young woman, but soon discovers she loves an older cavalry officer. First published in Lloyd’s Weekly Newspaper in 1899, A Yellow Duster is the story of two old men whose lifelong friendship is threatened by a mysterious secret. Curious about a dust rag found in his friend’s display case, the story’s protagonist asks the collector of rare and priceless objects why he has preserved something so seemingly worthless.
Other stories collected herein include Our New House, published in the Boston Herald in 1895, as well as The Burial of the Rats and A Dream of Red Hands, both of which appeared in Dracula’s Guest and Other Stories (1914). Romantic and Horrific Stories compiles a dozen works of short fiction by Bram Stoker, the secretive and vastly underrated creator of Dracula, one of history’s greatest villains. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Bram Stoker’s Romantic and Horrific Stories is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.

Scientific and Horrific Stories is a collection of short fiction by H. G. Wells. Despite his humble beginnings as the son of English servants, H. G. Wells would become one of the most revered writers of his day.
His stories of adventure, utopia, and terror inspired such vastly different figures as Vladimir Nabokov, Winston Churchill, Jorge Luis Borges, and Sinclair Lewis. Many of his novels have been adapted for film, theater, radio, and television, including The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), and The War of the Worlds (1898).
Scientific and Horrific Stories includes twenty-six tales from across Wells’ career. The Chronic Argonauts, written while Wells was recuperating from an illness with friends in Stoke-on-Trent, is a story of time travel set in rural Wales that predates his beloved The Time Machine by seven years. Æpyornis Island is a terrifying tale of greed and survival that originally appeared in an 1894 issue of the Pall Mall Budget. Tasked with finding rare Aepyornis eggs, a rugged Englishman named Butcher ventures to a remote swamp on the island of Madagascar. When one of the eggs unexpectedly hatches, he is left stranded and at the mercy of a vicious creature that was believed to be extinct. In The Diamond Maker, which also appeared in the Pall Mall Budget, a destitute man tells a wealthy businessman about his years as a maker of artificial diamonds, a time of great promise that ultimately led to his downfall.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of H. G. Wells’ Scientific and Horrific Stories is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

Already suffering the privations of the 1930s Dust Bowl, an Oklahoma town is further devastated when a passenger train derails—flooding its hospital with the dead and maimed. Among the seriously wounded is Etha, wife of Sheriff Temple Jennings. Overwhelmed by worry for her, the sheriff must regain his footing to investigate the derailment, which rapidly develops into a case of sabotage.
The following night, a local recluse is murdered. Temple has a hunch that this death is connected to the train wreck. But as he dissects the victim’s life with help from the recuperating and resourceful Etha, he discovers a tangle of records that make a number of townsfolk suspects in the murder.

A bold and absurd new take on the dystopian plague novel, where people are treated like IKEA furniture
Distraught and hopeless, an eighteen-year-old distance runner, Regan, decides to end her life. And she'll do it through an unusual new method available only on the dark web. Enter Ãœlle, a woman with amnesia, who will, inadvertently, make Regan's wish come true.
But Ãœlle begins to remember her past and the outrageous steps her government took to combat a deadly pandemic of parasitic infections, which have brought her to this new country and to Regan's house. Meanwhile, Regan might be changing her mind, and she finds herself more and more concerned about keeping both Ãœlle and herself alive. But the shadowy organization that brought them together wants to keep them both quiet - permanently.
A Suitable Companion for the End of Your Life is a darkly comic dystopian tale that probes our anxieties around boundaries, whether territorial or bodily, and our fraught desire not to die alone.
"Gripping from the first page, Robert McGill's A Suitable Companion for the End of Your Life is a dark, speculative novel with echoes of The Handmaid's Tale, set against the backdrop of a plague. Some of us would do anything to survive, down to flatpacking ourselves like IKEA furniture, while others would do anything to make our miserable lives end. This is timely, provocative, ethically challenging fiction that asks whether the drive to survive is stronger than the inevitability of death." —Ian Williams, author of Reproduction
"Terrifying and tender, A Suitable Companion's sci-fi angle serves to frame a fascinating parable about the post-post-modern family. Unpredictable and completely original, this is a propulsive, rewarding, and thought-provoking read." —Michael Redhill, author of Bellevue Square
​​"The guy knows what he's doing, from missing children to silk parachutes, you are never lost and he will catch you." —Zadie Smith, author of NW
"A storyteller who refuses to keep things straight, and for this produces freshly captivating effects." —Andrew Pyper, author of The Demonologist
"A writer of striking talent and originality." —Daily Mail on The Mysteries
"McGill is a talented writer, adept at expressing the nuanced, unspoken truths that beg the lies by which we live." —Observer on The Mysteries

Fantastic and Horrific Stories is a collection of short fiction by Arthur Machen. Condemned as decadent and obscene upon publication, Machen’s writing earned praise from Oscar Wilde and H. P. Lovecraft.
Throughout the years, Machen’s work has been referenced and adapted by such figures as Stephen King, Guillermo del Toro, and Josh Malerman for its masterfully unsettling blend of science, myth, and magic. The Great God Pan, perhaps Machen’s most celebrated work, is the story of an occult experiment gone horribly wrong. Clarke has always taken an interest in occult matters, so when a friend offers him a chance to witness an experimental procedure intended to access the spirit realm, he cannot refuse. When the young patient Mary awakens, she shows signs of terror and soon falls into a catatonic state. Convinced of their success in discovering the world of “the great god Pan,� Clarke and Raymond agree to keep their discovery a secret. Years later, a nearby town begins reporting the mysterious disappearances of young children, all of whom have been seen in the forest with a young woman named Helen Vaughn.
In The White People, originally published in Horlick’s Magazine in 1904, a Welshman receives the diary of a young girl introduced to witchcraft. Surprisingly well-kept for its age, the green book accompanies Cotgrave on a journey through the lush countryside. Its pages contain the diary of a young girl who, encouraged by her nurse, immerses herself in the world of magic. As she grows adept in the ways of witchcraft, the girl begins referring to strange beings and unknown places, all while doing her best to conceal her secret life from friends and family.
The Hill of Dreams is a semi-autobiographical novel about a young man who begins having strange visions after visiting an ancient Roman fort near his rural Welsh home. Published alongside The Inmost Light, The Shining Pyramid, The Terror, Out of the Earth, and Ornaments in Jade, these tales by Arthur Machen showcase his gift for illuminating the presence of the supernatural in everyday life.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Arthur Machen’s Fantastic and Horrific Stories is a classic of British horror fiction reimagined for modern readers.

A groundbreaking exploration of the parental brain that untangles insidious myths from complicated realities, Mother Brain explodes the concept of "maternal instinct" and tells a new story about what it means to become a parent.
Before journalist Chelsea Conaboy gave birth, she anticipated the joy of holding her newborn, the endless dirty diapers, and the sleepless nights. What she didn't expect was how different she would feel--a shift in self, as deep as it was disorienting. Something was changing: her brain.
New parents undergo major brain changes, driven by hormones and the deluge of stimuli a baby provides. These neurobiological changes help all parents--birthing or otherwise--adapt in those intense first days and prepare for a long period of learning how to meet their child's needs. Yet this science is mostly absent from the public conversation about parenthood.
Conaboy delves into the neuroscience to reveal unexpected upsides, generations of scientific neglect, and a powerful new narrative of parenthood.

Mysterious and Horrific Stories is a collection of Gothic tales by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. Although he is more widely known today for his novella Carmilla (1872), which influenced Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) and remains an important work of early vampire fiction, Le Fanu was also an influential figure in mid-nineteenth century Irish literature as a writer and editor for the Dublin University Magazine.
Mysterious and Horrific Stories collects fifteen of Le Fanu’s finest works of short fiction from across his storied career. In The Fortunes of Sir Robert Ardagh, a man returns home after years abroad accompanied by a strange, shadowy companion. Under mysterious circumstances, Sir Robert has amassed a tremendous fortune and seems either unwilling or unable to reveal the truth behind his sudden rise to wealth. In Schalken the Painter, a young Dutch apprentice falls in love with his master’s young niece, the beautiful Rose Velderkaust. Fearful of angering the great painter Gerard Douw, whom he worries would reject a marriage proposal from a struggling artist, he keeps silent about his affections. When an older, wealthier man proposes to Rose, Douw consents to their marriage despite the man’s unsettling appearance. The Drunkard’s Dream is a tale of horror in which a man receives a powerful and terrifying vision of Hell.
Alongside twelve more tales of ghosts and other supernatural forces, including An Authentic Narrative of a Haunted House and The Child That Went With the Fairies, these selections from Le Fanu’s body of work continue to entertain and astound nearly two centuries after they first appeared in print. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s Mysterious and Horrific Stories is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.

A passionate, probing collection gathering nearly thirty years of groundbreaking reflection on culture and society alongside four new essays, by one of our most respected essayists and critics.
What is the internet doing to us? What is college for? What are the myths and metaphors we live by? These are the questions that William Deresiewicz has been pursuing over the course of his award-winning career. The End of Solitude brings together more than forty of his finest essays, including four that are published here for the first time.
Ranging widely across the culture, they take up subjects as diverse as Mad Men and Harold Bloom, the significance of the hipster, and the purpose of art. Drawing on the past, they ask how we got where we are. Scrutinizing the present, they seek to understand how we can live more mindfully and freely, and they pose two fundamental questions: What does it mean to be an individual, and how can we sustain our individuality in an age of networks and groups?

​​For readers of Madhouse at the End of the Earth, Endurance, and other seafaring adventure stories comes a thrilling account of a 21st-century Arctic mission.
"A contemporary classic!"—Ken McGoogan, author of Fatal Passage
"Show-stopping."—Publisher's Weekly STARRED Review
The Greatest Polar Expedition of All Time vividly describes one year aboard the Polarstern, a powerful ice-breaker ship that journeyed deep into the Arctic in 2019, carrying over 100 scientists and crew known as the MOSAiC Expedition. Hailing from across the world, they would become the largest expedition to ever survive a polar winter. Their purpose? To understand - and predict - the impacts of climate change on the Arctic.
Written by the expedition's leader, the renowned atmospheric scientist Markus Rex, this page-turner reads like a captain's log of daily life aboard the Polarstern. Living in one of the most remote, dangerous, and electrifying places on earth, Rex describes incredible sights: polar bears playing with scientific equipment, Christmas parties in the bitter cold, frostbitten scientists, and hair-raising storms that threaten to break the Polarstern's cables and send it flying across the ice. He also reveals breathtaking science from deep inside the sea ice.
Filled with sobering, heart-warming, and bone-chilling moments, The Greatest Polar Expedition of All Time is a testament to Rex's extraordinary drive to save a precious ecosystem. It's also an ode to a place that has beguiled sailors and explorers for centuries.Â

"A vivid, important, and inspiring book."—Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Sixth Extinction and Under a White Sky
"Eloquently mulls the ecological dynamics of forests as well as the social, economic, cultural, and political forces that determine their fate."—LA Review of Books
A powerful book about the decline and recovery of the world's forests--with a provocative argument for their survival.
In A Trillion Trees, veteran environmental journalist Fred Pearce takes readers on a whirlwind journey through some of the most spectacular forests around the world. Along the way, he charts the extraordinary pace of forest destruction, and explores why some are beginning to recover.
With vivid, observant reporting, Pearce transports readers to the remote cloud forests of Ecuador, the remains of a forest civilization in Nigeria, a mystifying mountain peak in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and the boreal forests of western Canada and the United States, where devastating wildfires are linked to suppressing the natural fire cycles of forests and the maintenance practices of Indigenous peoples.Â
Throughout the book, Pearce interviews the people who traditionally live in forests. He speaks to Indigenous peoples in western Canada and the United States who are fighting to control their traditional forested lands and manage them according to their traditional practices. He visits and speaks with Nepalese hill dwellers, Kenyan farmers, and West African sawyers who show him that forests are as much human landscapes as they are natural paradises. The lives of humans are now imprinted in forest ecology.Â
At the heart of Pearce's investigation is a provocative argument: planting more trees isn't the answer to declining forests. If given room and left to their own devices, forests and the people who live in them will fight back to restore their own domain.

"The fierce debut by Medicine for the Resistance podcaster Krawec critiques the harmful impact of European Christian settler colonialism on Indigenous Americans. The author, who is of Anishinaabe and Ukrainian heritage, details Indigenous American history from the first humans to populate the Americas through the present and outlines ways in which descendants of European colonizers and Indigenous people can become 'good relatives'.... Krawec's prose is electric, shot through with passion and knowledge [and] offers thought-provoking ideas." —Publishers Weekly
The invented history of the Western world is crumbling fast, Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec says, but we can still honor the bonds between us. Settlers dominated and divided, but Indigenous peoples won't just send them all "home."
Weaving her own story with the story of her ancestors and with the broader themes of creation, replacement, and disappearance, Krawec helps readers see settler colonialism through the eyes of an Indigenous writer. Settler colonialism tried to force us into one particular way of living, but the old ways of kinship can help us imagine a different future. Krawec asks, What would it look like to remember that we are all related? How might we become better relatives to the land, to one another, and to Indigenous movements for solidarity? Braiding together historical, scientific, and cultural analysis, Indigenous ways of knowing, and the vivid threads of communal memory, Krawec crafts a stunning, forceful call to "unforget" our history.
This remarkable sojourn through Native and settler history, myth, identity, and spirituality helps us retrace our steps and pick up what was lost along the way: chances to honor rather than violate treaties, to see the land as a relative rather than a resource, and to unravel the history we have been taught.

Ghosts, pirates and family secrets -- Stephen gets more than he bargained for when he seeks out adventure in the ghostly realm, for fans of When You Trap a Tiger.
Stephen loves pirates. What he doesn't love is his name: Stephen Oh-O'Driscoll. He believes when his Korean mother and Irish father gave him this name, that it was just one cruel setup for being teased. Giving things the proper name is important, which is why Stephen thinks that it's time to update the definition of "pirate." They've got a bad rep, and maybe they deserve some of it, but Stephen still likes a few pirate traditions, like bandannas and eyepatches -- he's just not that into stealing things from people. He has the perfect new word: piventurate. A sailor who passionately seeks adventure. That's what he wants to be.Â
When he gets suspended from school for doing proper piventurate-in-training things (using sticks to practice sword fighting), his mother doesn't let him sit around doing nothing, instead she takes him to a museum. At the museum everything changes. Stephen finds himself in a strange new place, face-to-face with a real pirate. A pirate ghost. Â
Captain Sapperton needs Stephen's help to cross to the other side, and his former ghost crew are intent on making sure Stephen follows through, whatever it takes. Stephen is about to discover the true meaning of piventurate, and much to his surprise, his adventure will not only take him farther into the ghostly realm, but also closer to home, where long-held family secrets reveal surprising ties to the spirit world.

A celebration of music from beginning to end, The Weary Blues is the debut poetry collection by the foremost Harlem Renaissance poet, Langston Hughes.
Droning a drowsy syncopated tune, / Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon, / I heard a Negro play. / Down on Lenox Avenue the other night / By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light / He did a lazy sway...
With these first lines, Hughes invites the reader into an experimental playground that tells the story of a Black man's life in America. Featuring poems such as, Dream Variations, The Negro Speaks of Rivers, and Our Land, Hughes weaves in and out of verse, highlighting the lows of struggle in the face of segregation and racism, but also the highs of creation from the time when, "the Negroes were in vogue."
Now considered to be an American classic, The Weary Blues embodies the feel of the rhythm, improvisation, and soul of Black classical music, pioneered the genre of "jazz poetry," and left an irreplaceable mark in the African-American literary canon.
Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of The Weary Blues is a sensational reimagining of a Harlem Renaissance staple for the modern reader.

The newly-made white Max has to decide what it means to live and breathe on the other side of the color line.

A look at 21st-century city-building. Is the utopian "smart city" within our grasp?
The promise of the so-called smart city has been at the forefront of urban planning and development since the early 2010s, and the tech industry that supplies smart city software and hardware is now worth hundreds of billions a year.
But the ideas and approaches underpinning smart city tech raise tough and important questions about the future of urban communities, surveillance, automation, and public participation. The smart city era, moreover, belongs firmly in a longer historical narrative about cities -- one defined by utopian ideologies, architectural visions, and technological fantasies.
Smart streetlights, water and air quality tracking, autonomous vehicles: with examples from all over the world, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Portland, and Chicago, Dream States unpacks the world of smart city tech, but also situates this important shift in city-building into a broader story about why we still dream about perfect places.

A polemic about global warming and the environmental crisis, which argues that ordinary people have consistently opposed the destruction of nature and so provide an untapped constituency for climate action.
Crimes Against Nature uses fresh material to offer a very different take on the most important issue of our times. It takes the familiar narrative about global warming—the one in which we are all to blame—and inverts it, to show how, again and again, pollution and ecological devastation have been imposed on the population without our consent and (often) against our will. From histories of destruction, it distills stories of hope, highlighting the repeated yearning for a more sustainable world.
In the era of climate strikes, viral outbreaks, and Extinction Rebellion, Crimes Against Nature moves from ancient Australia to the 'corpse economy' of Georgian Britain to the 'Kitchen Debate' of the Cold War, to present an unexpected and optimistic environmental history—one that identifies ordinary people not as a collective problem but as a powerful force for change.

"A must-read." --Buzzfeed
It's reflexive and common to view our online presence as fake; to see the internet as a space we enter when we aren't living our real, offline lives. But ever since a pandemic pushed more and more of our work, relationships, and even leisure into digital space, the internet doesn't feel so fake anymore. Every day, the lines between digital and "real" space blur even further.
Activist and writer Chris Stedman explores authenticity in the digital age, shining a light into and beyond age-old notions of realness--who we are and where we fit in the world--to bring fresh understanding for our increasingly online lives. Stedman offers a new way of seeing the supposed split between our online and offline selves, one in which online spaces and social media become new tools for understanding and expressing ourselves--and where the not-always-graceful ways we use these tools can reveal new insights for incorporating far older human truths into modern life. How might the online spaces we use fulfill our essential human need to feel real? Must we view the internet and the real world as binary, where there is no room for overlap? Playful and wise, Stedman suggests that the digital search for meaning and belonging presents challenges but also opportunities to become more fully human. He boldly invites us to embrace realness in all its uncertainty, online and off, no matter how risky it might feel.

Originally published in two volumes between 1923 and 1925, Africa for Africans: Or, The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey is a compilation of letters, speeches and essays by one of the Fathers of Pan-Africanism.
Hailed by Martin Luther King, Jr. as, "the first man of color... to make the Negro feel like he was somebody," Marcus Garvey was a polarizing yet influential figure whose legacy continues to be felt today. These philosophies, collected by Amy Jacques Garvey, his second wife and a pioneering journalist, chronicle Garvey's initial impressions and recollections of America, the formation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), his imprisonment and subsequent trial over the Black Star Line, and his scathing opinions of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
Including such pieces as, "An Appeal to the Soul of White America," "The Negro's Greatest Enemy," and "Declaration of Rights of the Negroes of the World," Africa for Africans; Or, The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey is an essential piece of Black history, professionally typeset and reimagined for modern readers.

Everyone knows a girl locked in a tower is supposed to wait for a prince—but that isn’t the destiny this girl has in mind.
Esme’s life has been filled with secrets. Her mother says she’s destined to be a queen, but she won’t say when. Or how. Or who Esme’s father is.
When Esme is imprisoned by the evil fairy godmother, she only has more questions. Who is the young man guarding her? Why is he so interested in her father’s identity? And can she convince him to help her escape before she’s forced to marry whichever self-absorbed prince with a hero complex turns up to rescue her?
Since his father’s murder, Rory’s life has depended on keeping his identity secret. Working for the fairy godmother seems like a fair trade for his safety until he’s sent to kidnap a girl who wears his family ring, a girl his father’s ghost is suspiciously quiet about.
Unraveling their connection might do more than save them both from the fairy godmother. It might save the fate of an entire queendom.
But can Esme achieve her destiny when Rory’s trying to avoid his own?
The Rogue and the Peasant is a fun, fairytale adventure that blends Hamlet with Rapunzel to make something completely new.

From internationally celebrated Eduardo Halfon comes a new installment in his hero’s nomadic odyssey as he searches for answers surrounding his grandfather’s abduction
In Canción, Eduardo Halfon’s eponymous wanderer is invited to a Lebanese writers’ conference in Japan, where he reflects on his Jewish grandfather’s multifaceted identity. To understand more about the cold, fateful day in January 1967 when his grandfather was abducted by Guatemalan guerillas, Halfon searches his childhood memories. Soon, chance encounters around the world lead to more clues about his grandfather’s captors, including a butcher nicknamed “Canción� (or song). As a brutal and complex history emerges against the backdrop of the Guatemalan Civil War, Halfon finds echoes in the stories of a woman he meets in Japan whose grandfather survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
Through exquisite prose and intricate storytelling, Halfon exposes the atrocities of war and the effect that silence and extreme violence have on family and identity.

Knot doesn’t remember how they came to live with Bigman, nor whether their name is actually Knot. Bigman calls, and Knot answers. Not a boy. Not a girl. Not getting any bigger over the past twenty years.
John Bigman makes enough money selling good weather to those who believe his claims of magic to keep the bank from taking the unfinished lighthouse where he lives in an uneasy truce with Knot. Bigman still bleeds where Knot bit him years ago, and they still sometimes try to stab him during arguments.
Most of the time, the two get along. Knot watches tv in their room. Bigman plays video games in his library. They go fishing, with Knot catching most of the fish and Bigman dozing among the mangroves that have infested their beach.
But Bigman is getting old. His control over Knot has been slipping. His strength was barely enough to foil Knot’s last attempt at running away. That was before Knot found allies, who have their own reasons for wanting Knot to escape from the lighthouse.

Now, the Prince of the East has taken the Frost King as a pawn in his war against the Summerlands, causing Alexus’s life to hang in the balance. To thwart the prince’s endgame and prevent the Tiressian empire from returning to an age of gods, Raina, Alexus, and a band of Northlanders race against the sands of time to reach a mystical desert land where merciless assassins lurk around every corner.
In the midst of tragedy, Raina and Alexus fight to stay together and alive, all while a nefarious presence follows them straight to the jeweled gates of the Summerland queen’s citadel—the City of Ruin. With much to fear, it’s the terror of a past she shouldn't remember that Raina cannot cast from her dreams.
A past that's determined to find her. One way or another.

To some, Lily was just a beautiful little girl. To others, she was a freakish albino who ate live chickens in a freak show. Charles Darwin called her his impossible girl and tried in vain to classify her. P. T. Barnum called her his angel and tried to take advantage of her.
But the creature Barnum thought to turn into a money-making feature attraction is neither girl nor angel. She is something other, a species of unimaginable abilities, with the power to destroy—or save —our world. The power is hers alone, but only the strange blood coursing through her veins will decide when and how to unleash a power she struggles every day to control.
From the cold, barren shores of Tierra del Fuego and the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle to the bustling crowds of Victorian London, Lily's story—and her quest—unfolds in a thrilling historical fantasy for all ages from award-winning author Len Boswell.

Donella has always dreamed of being rescued from her miserable life working in her father’s tavern, and when the fairy godmother offers to help her in exchange for one simple task, she readily accepts.
After all, how hard can it be to retrieve the heart of the Dead Prince?
Harder than she thinks, because the Dead Prince is very much alive and likes his heart right where it is.
Too scared to break her deal with the fairy godmother, Donella knows that outwitting her is the only way to save the Dead Prince’s life, but how can a humble waitress beat the wickedest witch of them all?

When there’s an opening for the crime beat, Evie jumps at the chance. And while she manages to impress her boss, she makes an enemy of the detective she played to get the inside scoop.

Horrified by her brother, who will stop at nothing to prove himself to their greedy father, Emily is forced to take a stand against her family—even if it means being cut off entirely.

But when a diary is unearthed on the islands that could lead to a secret artifact, Bram is the only one able to piece the legends together. As Bram and Emily seek out the whereabouts of the hidden artifact, they must dodge her family and a team of archeologists. In a race against time, it is up to them to decide what makes a hero worthy of legend. Is it fighting valiantly to claim the treasure... or sacrificing everything in the name of selfless love?

There are creatures lurking in our world. Obscure creatures long relegated to myth and legend. They have been sighted by a lucky-or unlucky-few, some have even been photographed, but their existence remains unproven and unrecognized by the scientific community.
These creatures, long thought gone, have somehow survived; creatures from our nightmares haunting the dark places. They swim in our lakes and bays, they soar the night skies, they hunt in the woods. Some are from our past, and some from other worlds, and others have always been with us-watching us, fearing us, hunting us.
These are the cryptids, and Systema Paradoxa tells their tales.
***
When a sudden trail of death and desolation sweeps through south and central Texas, elements of the case trigger an alert with a division of the FBI that tracks possible supernatural influence.
Agent Chimalis Burton, a specialist in cryptids of the Americas, has a history of vanquishing such monstrous creatures. When she is assigned the case, she scrambles to find answers before the situation worsens.
Evidence begins to suggest an evil that has festered for centuries; an evil that now rises to reclaim its power.
An evil that rests in the soulful eyes of a wolf.

When infamous hot mess vampire Roxanne resurrects her deceased best friends, she's confronted by a dream-dwelling Guardian of the Underworld, who demands that she replace them in his afterlife with three equally nefarious creatures—or he'll drag her there instead.
Reunited with Medusa and Mx. Hyde, Roxanne and her macabre girl gang must become monster hunters themselves and fight for the future of their friendship.
Gory, sexy, silly, touching—Glorious Fiends asks who the real monsters are, and if the bonds that we think are solely human are really ours alone. This Hammer-inspired odyssey is a nostalgic trip through '80s horror tropes—with modern sensibilities.
PRAISE
"If Hellraiser and Netflix's Castlevania hooked up and had a trio of queer poly bad-ass lady babies.... well, hanging out with them probably still wouldn't be half as fun and scary and exciting as the wild ride that is Glorious Fiends."
—Sam J. Miller, author of The Blade Between and Boys, Beasts, & Men
Glorious Fiends is about accepting your friends for who they are, even if they be liars, murderers, and inconveniently horny. Stufflebeam engages us from the start with monsters at their gory best (or worst, depends), pairing unexpected humor with shocking imagery that will turn your giggle into a shriek.
—Chris Panatier, author of Stringers and The Phlebotomist
"An unapologetically blood-soaked and darkly humorous read."
—A. C. Wise, author of The Ghost Sequences

Doctor Bernard Patten―erstwhile Memory Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, founder of the first memory clinic at the Neurological Institute of New York, and author of scientific papers on memory therapy and memory problems―wants to help you to a better mind, a better memory, and, consequently, a better life.
Memory degradation happens to everyone. Even people in good health forget where they park their cars or leave their reading glasses. Some draw a blank entering their PIN. Is the stove off? Cat fed? Door locked? Did you take your medication? Not sure? How come? These memory problems only get worse as we get older unless we employ mental exercises to improve memory now.
Mountains of scientific research prove that mental exercise benefits the brain as much as physical exercise benefits the body. Mental gymnastics boosts brainpower, augments memory, and (in some cases) actually increases brain size. It can help prevent dementia, mental decline, and the much-feared Alzheimer's disease.
Making Mental Might does not aim to increase your IQ or show you how to get smarter. It offers the proper mental training to look, sound, and perform worlds better. These techniques have helped hundreds of students at Rice University's School of Continuing Studies under Doctor Patten improve their working memory. They can do the same for you.

England, AD 1471. Henry Tudor’s drop of royal blood had never mattered, considering the scores of noblemen with stronger claims to the throne. But when Edward IV becomes king during the Wars of the Roses, that drop threatens Henry’s life and forces him into exile.
Though his mother labors to restore his position, Henry would rather spend his days with his beloved Jehane, a quick-witted Breton widow, than reclaim a title that promises only further hardship. Content with humble pleasures far from the dangers of court, Henry enjoys a simple life of anonymity.
Yet, his enemies continue to conspire against him. Survival may require embracing the very birthright that drove him into exile, though it threatens his happiness with Jehane. The path to safety is littered with tangled conspiracies, narrow escapes, and a Welsh dragon banner fluttering over an English battlefield.
Bosworth earned Henry Tudor a crown, but the trials of a forgotten fourteen-year exile transformed a penniless fugitive into the man who ended the Wars of the Roses.

Taran’s always been the reliable one. Safe. Which is why he keeps getting dumped by the assholes he dates. And after the latest round of “too boring,� he’s ready to drink his blues away. That’s until Silas King shows up​​—the gorgeous guy he’d swooned over through high school.
Silas wants one more night of distraction before his new reality sets in, and he sets his sights on Taran, his friend’s little brother who’s looking sexier than ever. It’s not like he can get in any more trouble than he’s already found himself in.
After Taran and Silas spend one unforgettable night together, feelings emerge, ones quickly stamped out when Silas confesses why he’s back in town. He’s returned to meet his three-month-old daughter.
With that chaos in his life, Silas can’t pursue anything further with Taran, and having longed for Silas his whole damn life, Taran isn’t sure he’ll survive the aftermath. Yet the more they try to avoid their connection, the more they keep colliding... until the passion between them detonates.

About This Summary!
The book “Battle for the American Mind� is the untold story of the Progressive plan to neutralize the basis of our Republic – by removing the one ingredient that had sustained Western Civilization for thousands of years. Pete Hegseth and David Goodwin explain why, no matter what political skirmishes conservatives win, progressives are winning the war—and control the “supply lines� of future citizens. Reversing this reality will require parents to radically reorient their children’s education; even most homeschooling and Christian schooling are infused with progressive assumptions. We need to recover a lost philosophy of education – grounded in virtue and excellence – that can arm future generations to fight for freedom. It’s called classical Christian education. The odds are that you might have never heard about it. In this case: Relax, you’re not alone!

Three Short Stories Starring Three Overbearing Ghosts
If you prefer your dictators, celebrities, and historical figures to remain silent from beyond the grave, then this is not the book for you. If, however, you’re okay with famous ghosts being greedy, ambitious, and yes, more than a little pushy, you will thoroughly enjoy the afterlife tales of:
Queen Cleopatra of Egypt, whose journal reveals a shocking 2,000-year-old secret she has taken with her to the tomb.
Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, the former Libyan president whose unrequited crush on a former US secretary of state culminates in revenge, greed, and a host of dubious fashion choices.
Steve Jobs, the Apple co-founder who, with the help of a hallucinogenic drug, plans to reconnect with his estranged father before moving on to his next billion-dollar project.
"Victoria Schroeder’s Cleopatra’s Eternal Journal is a whimsical trio of globe-spanning ghost stories. Cleopatra’s spirit wryly observes major historical events over two millennia while she waits for archaeologists to discover her tomb. Colonel Gaddafi nurses an unlikely infatuation with Dr. Condoleezza Rice ardent enough to survive his death and which leads to astonishing dialogues between the two power brokers; and Steve Jobs’ ghost haunting Kyoto, seeking wisdom and maybe inspiration for some new product ideas. Schroeder’s stories are an imaginative weaving of history, levity, and humor." —Dan Geddes, author of The Satirist: America’s Most Critical Book

England, Within the Pale, 1581
Doctor John Dee, court mage and advisor to the Queen, didn’t need a new apprentice.
Waking on a cold January morning to find his friend and neighbor, the Countess of Derby, on his doorstep was one surprise; to find her with a young girl in tow was another. An orphaned, half-Moorish girl, Amy Bassano, for whom a whole new world – a world of spycraft and sedition, of faeries and foul play, of magic and murder – was about to open. A world where a youthful Shakespeare – or, rather, the person who will become ‘Shakespeare’– is just starting out.
At least, thought Dee, she was interesting…

Shortly after her arrival at Brooklyn North Homicide, Detective Kim Brady is assigned a seven-month-old rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl. While the initial investigation focused on a teen suspect, DNA evidence, as well as the killer's signature, establishes that the killer was also responsible for several older crimes, including the 1963 case Kim's grandfather was working when he was killed. She is chasing a killer who's been on the loose for fifty-five years.
Kim's investigation takes place against the backdrop of a special mayoral election pitting a "law and order" state senator against the "defunder" acting mayor. A protest group is accusing the police of letting the case go cold because the victim is a Latina and stoking protests that result in arson and the killing of a firefighter. While Kim awaits the result of DNA analysis, her headquarters receives two bomb threats and the killer strikes again... and again... and again.

Deep in the heart of greenest Pennsylvania lies the town of Blackgale. It is a place of great wealth, rustic charm and natural beauty, as well as diligent, hardworking citizens. Bright, inventive girls are especially prized, and are molded into brilliant young women at the world-renowned Blackgale School for Girls.
Cordelia Paredes is not, decidedly, the ideal Blackgale citizen. She is a fifteen-year-old delinquent who is on the verge of dropping out of the Blackgale School for Girls, and harbors dreams of fleeing to somewhere that's less of a perfectionist headache. But then, one day, her best friend Persie just... vanishes. Poof. Gone. No warning whatsoever. And if that isn't bad enough, all of Blackgale's residents - from teachers, to local officials, to Persie's own parents - are oddly unconcerned.
Consequently, Cordelia must take it upon herself to find Persie, digging not only into Blackgale's mysteries, but into the personal stories of the little town's most mysterious residents. As more secrets are uncovered, formerly affable friends and neighbors start to turn hostile, and, in some cases, even murderous. Will Cordelia be able to discover what happened to Persie, or will her efforts lead to nothing more than a premature demise?

Daan’s debut novel Night’s Reign is not your average Fantasy novel. Featuring two disabled protagonists, and focusing more on character development than plot, it’s best described as a work of literary fiction in a fantasy setting.

They tried to kill the ugliness but they only made it stronger.
The icecaps melted and the water consumed the shorelines but New York City still stands. All four boroughs prosper thousands of feet over the old metropolis hastily protected by walls. Proper citizens live above in a beautiful, protective dome on concrete stilts and criminals serve life below in the polluted, walled ghost of a city.
Richard Smith, a street-sweeper, enjoyed life in NYC with his wife until their deformed, life-supported child is medically terminated at birth by the government, pulling Richard's soul into darkness.
When he receives a distressing message from a group known as Right-To-Life, Richard sinks lower. His child and many others may be alive and living with the criminals below in old New York. He needs to find his son and there is only one way possible to confirm if it's true.
What he finds may be more than what society above can fathom.
A tense, wild ride of a sci-fi dystopian novel from the author of the Blunt Force Kharma series.

For Captain Joshua Halley, commanding the Tyson’s soldiers, the “Titan Mission� began even before he was born. He will be among the first humans to help terraform a planetary body for off-world human colonization.

But that fateful night, Halley received the call.
Something has happened. Everyone aboard Earth Alliance’s orbital space station in the Main Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter has vanished – including Halley’s father.

But there are no coincidences even in the sea of space. The “Titan Mission� is in jeopardy. But by whom? And why?
Spaceship battles, explosions, gun-fire aboard space stations, and worse. None of these things are supposed to happen in real life, even for a seasoned soldier like Halley.
Join the first entry in the thrilling military sci-fi PLANET TAMERS series from author Austin Dragon.
Father’s Day is the first-in-series!

They Whisper in my Blood is a moving love story, a sweeping tale, a panorama of a Portuguese-Indian family’s history told through a poignant refrain that is this clan’s nemesis. It screams across time and continents. There’s murder, girl-child trafficking, a torrid mixed-race affair and homophobia, all of which beget intrigue, sensuousness, heartache . . . but always hope. The characters – visceral, impassioned and deeply flawed – stay with you long after the last page is turned.
The Portuguese were the first European colonizers of India and ruled Portuguese India – Portuguese Estado da �ndia – for four and a half centuries. Their legacy endures even today in the lives of their descendants, one of whom is differential, intelligent, beautiful Perpetua – Pippa – Cabral, the heartsick protagonist in this novel.
Fans of authors like Arundhati Roy, Delia Owens and Richard Powers will love this multi-generational story. Nature’s spontaneous beauty is reverenced in sentences that weave lush imagery, so evocative one can almost smell the spice; sentences that resound with stunning prose crafted seemingly by a poet. Sculpted with as bold a hand, is the plot which delivers one hell of a punch.

1970s New York: a mecca for musicians, artists, and writers drawn to its vibrant energy and possibilities, but also a place of grinding poverty and urban decay, where crime and violence were everyday realities and hope danced with despair.
In Street People Portfolio, David J. Bookbinder exposes the grit and splendor of a city at its most raw and real, creating a graphic testament to this time, this place, and to the haunting people who inhabited it. In portraits so vivid that they fairly leap off the page and into our psyches, he delivers the street in the wholeness of its violence, its sexuality, and its poignance.
Experience this strikingly illustrated account of this turbulent period and its forgotten people.

Bold. Authentic. Irreverent.
An odd book of wisdom for new adults, graduates, and those who love them.
The heart attack I suffered on my teenage daughter's birthday was a wake-up call. Afterwards, I started feverishly drafting a book of wisdom for her, in case I didn't make it to her high school graduation.
What began as a manual for her grew into something even more valuable. The Odd Dad Guide begged to arrive and flowed as catharsis filling a void of unspoken need. Originally intended for my new adult, those of all ages who partook said the rules resonated with them as well. The stories and perspectives here will expose young people to complicated lessons. It is neither pretty nor easy for me to share some of these, but those of us who are more seasoned know that truth is both painful and freeing.
I wish someone had given this tome to me thirty years prior. Now I offer it to you and your families with a hope that your new adult might live a life of authenticity and boldness that represents their true selves.
=============================
Quotes from early readers
"Clearly, this book needed to be written. I'd give The Odd Dad Guide to every new parent out there. I was worried it was going to be a book for dads only… because of the title. As a single mom whose kids have no dad, I began reading it with bias, but the advice isn’t gender specific. I appreciated that."
"I enjoyed the perspective on approaching reality without the sugar. These chapters did a great job of making me reflect and apply this wisdom to my life."
"In honesty, I have been a dad since I was 19, then became a single father and divorcee at 26. I did what I felt was necessary to raise my daughter to be a good citizen and provide her an opportunity for a better life. Life hasn't really been about me for years. The book is full of honest information that young and old people need to hear! Thanks for exposing the behaviors where we become prisoners of our own obligations and expectations that we can neither keep nor fulfill."
"The book approaches broad life experiences not from the fluffy, squishy, touchy-feely way commonly presented, but from a realistic, 'tell it like it really is' approach."
"I read with ease through 28 chapters, interested, smirking, chuckling, nodding, absorbing the whole way. References to zombies and marbles, toxic positivity, faith and abusers, politics and opinions and dissent all hit the mark for me. All the chapters are things I want to share with my daughter if she will listen. As an avid reader, maybe she will listen to these points by reading them in your book."
"The personal stories really resonate with a shared 'dad' wisdom."
"The Odd Dad Guide resonated with me completely. Such great advice. Don’t live someone else’s dream. I like to think that life's goal is fulfillment, but the author's take on contentment is more to the point. Everyone needs these words of wisdom."
"The author reflects on life, what he has learned, mistakes he has made, and how to be an individual. Irreverent without being crass or juvenile. The Odd Dad Guide eviscerates bullshit arguments and lies, and reminds us of our own mistakes and when childish illusions got wiped away. It's good to read this now as I turn 50 and do some reflecting. The writing is tight with small chapters that stick to the script without bloviating."

The ten stories in this anthology shine each at its own speed of light—dimmer, hidden deep in the darkness, or brighter, burning faster. Through tales of secrets, loss, and identity, empathy illuminates the path, lengthening the shadows of the human emotions laid bare. When a young boy collects secrets like another boy would collect rocks or stamps, darkness envelops the man he becomes. When a young mother accepts a ride from a stranger, the truth about her situation is revealed to her. A penumbra outlines the dark core of one mother's loss as another mother's gain. Through stories of divorce, memory loss, struggles with mental health, and estrangement, loss reveals what we are capable of doing to cope, to recover, to heal, and what we can become as a result.

If You Consider Time the Most Precious Asset in Your Life and Therefore Want to Read the Essentials of a Book Presented in a Clear and Concise Summary Without Missing Any Highlights of the Original Book, Then Read On…
Note to readers: This is a summary of Marc Leibovich’s book “Thank You for Your Servitude: Donald Trump’s Washington and the Price of Submission� and not the original book designed to enhance your reading experience!
About This Summary!
The book “Thank You for Your Servitude� is Mark Leibovich’s unflinching account of the moral rout of a major American political party, tracking the transformation of Rubio, Cruz, Graham, and their ilk into the administration’s chief enablers, and the swamp’s lesser lights into frantic chasers of the grift. What would these politicos do to preserve their place in the sun, or at least the orbit of the spray tan? What would they do to preserve their “relevance�? Almost anything, it turns out. Trump’s savage bullying of everyone in his circle, along with the singular command of his political base, created a dangerous culture of submission in the Republican Party. Meanwhile, many of the most alpha of lapdogs happily conceded to Mark Leibovich that they were “in on the joke.� As Lindsey Graham told the author, his supporters in South Carolina generally don’t read The New York Times, and they won’t read this book, either. All that cynicism, shading into nihilism, led to a country truly unhinged from reality, and to the events of January 6, 2021. It’s a vista that makes the Washington of This Town seem like a comedy of manners in comparison.
Why You Should Choose Essential Reads!

This summary book breaks down all the key points, takeaways, and facts in “Thank You for Your Servitude� so that the reader gets an overview quickly of the most relevant insights of the original book.

A little tale of trial and error. Okay, mostly error.
Duncan and Maya Small have just moved to an out-of-the-way town filled with odd characters, quirky customs, and a power-obsessed local official who one day hopes to be declared emperor. Duncan is sharp enough to know something needs to change, and delusional enough to believe he's the one to make it happen. The only thing standing in his way are feral ponies, radical seniors, common sense, and Duncan's inability to do anything without a list.
Small Stories: A Perfectly Absurd Novel, is a tale of power, bake sales, manipulation, the Welcome Wagon, and diabolical forces at work in the shadows (mostly because they can't afford to pay the light bill), although the Smalls soon discover nothing is at it seems. One thing is certain, however – there's something funny going on.

A scream cut across the sky...
Long ago a horrific war was fought between the native Dragonkin and invading humanity, a war that shattered into islands the continent on which they struggled. Now the descendants of the victorious humans must face a different yet still very old threat as the mireborn Naga, the snake-folk of Nag Isle, are again amassing their Black Fleet to send against them. An ancient prophecy speaks of a time when the Archipelago of Cynnahu must fight its Last War against the Naga, a time when five individuals - Traveler, Orphan, Survivor, Student, and Lord - will set sail to rediscover the secret of the Elder Song.
Myrriden, the footsore mage and single father.Sakura, an orphaned and homeless girl seeking vengeance.
Volcan Darkrod, the enigmatic Fire Mage.
Emrys, Myrriden's nervous son.
Archmage Hoth, the unflappable Leader of the Cynnahu folk.
Guided by an ancient riddle recently uncovered by the famed Loremaster Aneirin, these chosen five must a run a race of swords, spells, and dusty scrolls - for while the Elder Song was crafted to summon the primeval power of the Dragonkin, it has, down to its very name, been forgotten. Will the courage and wits of two eleven-year-olds and three vastly different mages be enough to free purposefully hidden secrets from forces older than the Isles themselves and reunite the scattered Song while fighting a desperate war on land and sea? Only one thing is certain: humanity stands at doom's edge and time is against them.

My Girly Unicorn is an adventure in the colorful sky on rainbows, under rain clouds, and running along with rowdy young unicorns. This story takes readers through the world of young unicorns and their exciting games and antics. However, some unicorns do not treat a certain unicorn with kindness. When something dark interrupts their light-filled skies, a surprising character emerges as a resilient guide for hope and joy for the other unicorns. Readers will ride along on a vibrant coaster of joy, determination, and confidence in My Girly Unicorn.
It is a perfect book for all young readers because it incorporates powerful lessons of confidence, kindness, and resilience in the characters and throughout the plot. The girl unicorn resembles a strong character who, despite being left out of most of the other youthful games and activities, is proud of who she is regardless of how she looks to the other unicorns. This character even faces and surpasses a challenge that stumps the other unicorns, and this shows readers that resilience and confidence can be found in any creature no matter their looks or size.
Additionally, the book is doused in cotton-candy-colored clouds, vibrantly colored rainbows, and inviting terrain obstacles. The illustrations pair wonderfully with the story devoted to a certain unicorn’s appearance and the fun and exciting nature of being a young unicorn. Finally, the themes present in the book are prime lessons for young readers to recognize in literature that they can apply to their lives and their friends. Overall, My Girly Unicorn is a stellar and vibrant book just waiting at the edge of the rainbow for any young unicorn reader to experience!

EVERY SMALL-TOWN MYSTERY NEEDS THE WRIGHT DETECTIVE...
Tessa and the TSLR Detective Agency are back on the case for a sleuthy summer adventure!
The basketball team’s State Championship trophy is missing!
Teen super sleuth Tessa Wright and her TSLR Detective Agency are determined to bring the trophy home before eighth grade starts in the fall. At first glance, it should be easy, especially with the crime caught on video. But you could have knocked them over with a feather when the perpetrator is disguised as Greeneville Heights’ own Falcon mascot!
It's not like Tessa’s detective dad and the trusted Greeneville police force can swoop in to help. They’re too swamped with a relentless string of downtown break-ins, crippling local businesses.
The Falcon isn’t the only mystery circling Tessa’s head. It’s boys—specifically adorable emerald-eyed Mason Greene. Hanging out during summer vacation is a blast, but is it just as friends? Tessa is resolved to find out in the most sleuthy way possible: by putting Mason under her magnifying glass!
When she’s not training for the upcoming cross-country season, Tessa and her spunky new kitten cool off poolside. With so many suspects hovering, the case heats up. Instead of winging it, Tessa calls on her friends to investigate what connects them all. As the summer flies by and their carefree days are numbered, they must bring the trophy back to its rightful place in the case.
Readers who appreciate smart, sleuthy Nancy Drew mysteries, as well as the sweet friendship stories of The Baby-sitters Club, will enjoy this upper middle grade/lower young adult novel.

Predominantly, this work paints a portrait of a modern British prison, in this case HMP Rochester in Kent, England. After some brief anecdotes from Sloane’s life at the start to give context the author carves out some of the colourful characters he is locked up with and gives an up close and personal insight into that which is usually hidden from view within these establishments. Drugs, violence and madness are close companions with those behind these walls and the narrative describes an environment which is sometimes terrifying, sometimes tragic but also frequently funny as prisoners amuse themselves in comical ways in order to ease boredom.
Meet Marcus, dealing drugs to the whole wing but struggling with his own substance misuse issues. Meet Brad the burglar who keeps mice and spiders as pets. Meet Kempy, languid, handsome and frequently hilarious. And meet Peter, loved by all but bigoted beyond belief. Sloane, in prison with many of the friends he grew up with uses language which is not for the faint hearted and records faithfully for you the views anathema to the woke liberal left of today. He justifies this by saying it is real, it is simply truth but be warned that this book is not for the faint hearted.

Hate crime, hate speech, hate as the plague of our times ravaging our networks and tirelessly targeting new victims... What makes it so prevalent? Is hate our natural tendency, an integral part of our most profound social instincts or simply another piece of evidence for the failure at anger management and controlling our hunger for power and influence? Can those who utilize hatred as a smart marketing tool be considered evil? Are those who categorically dismiss it as an untenable social tendency naive idealists or truly wise and virtuous leaders of mankind? What about those who defend it as a righteous fury? Was Aristotle correct in calling hatred noble? Is challenging social ills with negative emotions a legitimate response?
This new controversial study on the ethics of hatred - based as much on personal experience and reading of classics as on the most recent affairs such as the War in Ukraine, the abortion debate, and the Capitol Attack - explores the so familiar yet so often misunderstood topic of ill-will. Trying to crack the code of whether hatred can be justified, and whether those afflicted by it can ever be free, it offers a fresh individual perspective on one of the most troubling and oldest of all human sentiments.

Billy, the black–faced ram, was thinking the time for retribution was now. The ram, curly horns sharpened to points (he had spent most of the winter rubbing them along a dry-stone wall), believed they were perfect for what he had in mind. Winter was over and he was ready.

In Better Together, Psychotherapist Nicholas Rose gives his unique take on why we choose the people we do, what makes us happy together, what can go wrong and what we can do about it.
At the heart of any working relationship is a shared sense of communion and ease which reassures us that we are better being together. Life events and challenges often disturb this, and it is when this happens that conflict arises and we begin to look for what it is that we need to ‘fix’ – an attempt that often only increases conflict and pain.
The concepts in the book are brought to life through twelve stories, each one illustrating different aspects of relationships, what can go wrong and how to find a way forward. Meanwhile the end of the book, provides direction, structure, tools and techniques that offer you a way of thinking about your own relationships.

London kept changing, as rage became ageing.
I sobbed myself upright and looked for a message on my phone that wasn't there, seeing only a bedraggled dead flower dropped from a garland days before in the drain, and my reeking jeans and hearing the roar of wind and the rolling of orchestral drums like the cars rushing past.
Pete’s got good times. Good people. Good tunes. Good drugs. He’s got problems, too. The money is coming to the estate, and when the money comes in, the locals will have to get out, unless they can muster an impossible fight. But Pete’s got secrets; unrequited and dangerous lusts, and as austerity and gentrification start to tear terrible chunks out of life, the whole façade might come tumbling down, as the scaffolding goes up the towers.
Richie Demox’ debut full-length novel is as heartrending as it is hip, capturing perfectly the moment between hope and despair, youth and age, bohemia and desperate poverty.

True Crime from Shamus Award winner J.L. Abramo.
Homeland Insecurity is the story of two men accused of taking the lives of three fellow human beings—a fifteen-year-old girl in Mahwah, New Jersey and a pair of young police officers in El Segundo, California.
Two men born 8 days apart in 1934.
Two men who died 57 days apart in 2017.
Crimes committed 140 days apart in 1957.
At a time when Americans were beginning to feel less and less confident about the safety of their families.
One convicted murderer spent nearly 15 years on death row at the New Jersey State Prison in Trenton—continually professing his innocence.
The other perpetrator escaped detection for more than 45 years.
At the same time, Homeland Insecurity is an account of the hits and misses of the law enforcement agencies and the judicial institutions which—over the course of nearly five decades—eventually stumbled upon justice.
Finally, it is a look at the post-World War II American experience leading up to the murders in 1957, and the profound changes to come after.
When Rock n’ Roll, rebels without a cause, and catchers in the rye burst upon the American landscape.
When the fear of nuclear annihilation and real-life monsters crept into the national consciousness.
And when those three murders in 1957, and a growing sense of national insecurity, may have had mutual effect.

A crushing betrayal. A transcendent bond. Three thousand miles to the Isle.
My mother loved the city, and it loved her. Until the Turn. Until leaving became our only hope of survival. She’s slipping away more each day. I can feel it. The tide threatens to take me with her, but I’d be lying if I said I’d rather be anywhere else—with Florence is where I belong.
Now uprooted and on the run, we have to choose: surrender to a new beginning and leave our delicate past behind, or salvage the remains and try to find our way back.
Either way, I just want to go home.
But if home really is where the heart is, what happens when you lose heart?

It started as a mystery with the promise of romance ...
A chance meeting of two strangers in a deserted French hotel in the Mekong Delta starts them on a journey in search of elusive truths.
He is Anton Faraday, a successful British wildlife painter hunting down a skilled forger of his work in Vietnam, while fighting doubts about his own integrity as an artist; and she is Caroline Brinkley, a freelance journalist from New Jersey searching for her adoptive Vietnamese brother, while looking for a scoop that will provide her with credentials as a serious journalist.
Flirting with the idea of a romance, they travel together to the Northern Highlands, stumbling into a remote world gripped by fear and death. It is 2004, and the region is faced with an outbreak of SARS, the coronavirus known as Bird Flu.
As the epidemic spreads, their past lives combine to push them forward into the heart of a high-stakes international conspiracy far beyond their capacity to withstand, uncovering evidence of corrupt charities, unscrupulous drug companies, and foreign agencies.
With Vietnam’s history, landscape and culture as a backdrop, their voyage together becomes as much about the geography of their own spirits and emotions as it is about the country through which they travel, raising complex moral and ethical questions as their emerging love is tested by the corruption they’re forced to confront.
With timely echoes of John le Carré’s "The Constant Gardener," the author raises questions about Big Pharma and state collusion that have never been more relevant than today.

This beautiful collection of poems reflect on those moments in human life, significant or trivial, remembered, suppressed or disowned, which linger within our experiences, from trust and its loss, love ending and love found, truth, post- truth and self-truth, to our interactions with the Internet and social media.
The poems range over numerous subjects including wealth and hypocrisy, politics and pollution, reminiscences of childhood, fond memories of parenthood and even on what might be read at a wedding.
Each verse has an objective, whether it be an examination of the manner of time passing, the gifts received and debts incurred in later years, or a lyrical contemplation on the majesty of the sea, and each is memorable or emotive or both.

Such is the growing and sustained attack on our environment scientists have for a couple of decades warned us that the consequences of our abuse could trigger changes in our environment that would make life as we know it impossible for humanity to exist. But despite all this, as our government is in charge, we the masses do nothing. The extreme complexity of global environmental destruction becomes encapsulated in the simplistic sound bites of Climate Change or Global Warming and therefore a governmental issue. Easily ducked by ourselves as its impossible for us alone to affect the climate…
However, if you are Kleen this thinking is unacceptable.
Kleen is whenever you use your EGOR, our Evolutionary Gift of Reasoning, that puts Natural Law above Human Law and all its social constructs.
Becoming Kleen not only makes us aware of our personal part in exterminating our environment for those who create and control social structures and how to combat them but also, as important the non-actions we can take to destroy the structures associated with environmental destruction simply by withdrawing your financial or moral support from those structures. To no longer support, political orthodoxy, financial propaganda, Shakkler rhetoric is a death sentence to them all, the cost? A richer environment. A place where primitive capitalism will at first use its political power to destroy all opposition to its function, then when this route to its traditional mastery over the majority of people it will be replaced by obedient servitude, its rightful place in a democracy.
If we live Kleen and follow Kleen principles we can be the difference our planet requires, or more literally, desperately demands.

Preventing Her Shutdown is an inside look at what an ongoing caregiver spouse goes through in a desperate effort to keep his wife with Alzheimer's "connected." In Real Time there are very personal unloaded feelings, emotions expressed and actions taken, never confided to anyone while slowly losing my wife.
This book started out as a daily diary of how my wife's behavior was dramatically changing and how I was affected and began to relate to her differently. Writing helped me ventilate my deepest emotions and reactions in private as they were too personal to express to others. Somehow writing "alleviated" my continuous sorrow. Soon this diary turned into this book.
There are really no fixed "do this" and "do that" rules, as there are no two profile behavioral changes alike. Consequently, no one has the "exact key" as to how to respond to a family member with Alzheimer's radical behavioral changes. Personal historical habits and idiosyncrasies influence behavioral changes. Only experiences from others can be your guide. I describe these dramatic changes with my wife who is in the beginning of the advanced stages.
Many times I wonder what she is thinking or what her feelings are because now she doesn't speak at all. I only have her facial expressions or sounds. Is she happy? Is she sad? I never see sad expressions on her face so I never know if she is sad. I do see a straight face sometimes and when I do I try to provoke a smile or laughter just to be sure she is not sad. Does she know she is not well? Does she know how she was before? Does she remember her past? What I do to help her restore her past.
Then I realized "what about us", our 43 years of marriage, does she remember that past? She recognizes and knows me well but how far back? Did our marriage begin in 1979 or 2017 when she was diagnosed?
I wasn't sure where I was in her memory or how she sees me, as her friend or husband, so I felt I had to make sure she realized I was at least her “best friend.�
She doesn't speak at all. She expresses only some sounds and shows a lot of anxiety. This becomes a real challenge trying to figure out what she wants and how she feels. How do we communicate? How do I talk to her? How does she tell me what she wants or needs? We both learned how to interact with each other.
My reactions have always been intuitive in my desperate attempts to keep her “connected� with me, family and her surroundings. My experiences and actions as they happen "racing against the Alzheimer's clock" to keep her communicating and interacting every day, even though she no longer speaks, are detailed in my never-ending battle to prevent her shutdown.

The first book of the Destiny Trilogy found Hrant Gulumian, the youngest child in his family, deeply relating to his granddaughter, Cassie when her nightmares precisely mirror his traumatic childhood experiences. Destiny of Dreams… Time Is Dear shared young Hrant’s harrowingly narrow escape from the mass deportations and attempted annihilation of the Armenians in the waning years of the Ottoman Empire.
Following the hauntingly intense and dramatic truths revealed in Book 1, the Destiny Trilogy resumes with the powerful hope and strength known only to survivors. Book 2 completes Hrant’s voyage and sweeps the reader into his family’s new life in the USA, illuminating the vulnerability of the diaspora and all forced refugees in a new and unfamiliar land filled with language, cultural, and discrimination challenges.
Author Martin celebrates her family’s quiet determination and its refusal to lose faith, despite bigotry and numerous economic woes, eerily paralleled in modern society. Set in the 20th Century, her family’s true story shines a beacon of optimism and comfort for countless other families, hailing from many nations and struggling to endure on the way to freedom and a chance for a better life in this century.
(Note: While having read Book 1 provides a solid foundation, it is not essential. To avoid spoilers, we respectfully request that reviews not include information from the second half of the book.)

Apryl Sallow is learning the hard way: never stake your interplanetary trade career on the whims of an abusive ex-lover.
When career-driven Apryl Sallow’s shipments of rhodium start coming back light, it doesn’t take long for the Induna, governing body of United Africa, to take notice. The rare mineral is a base requirement for global technology, and nobody provides more than partially-terraformed Mars. Apryl wants to pick up Admiral, but unless she fixes the problem she can’t even be considered. To make matters worse, Apryl’s abusive ex-fiance somehow has risen to become the new Enze, or supreme leader, of Mars — and has a weapon that controls the destructive power of gravity.
Apryl’s future hinges on her ability to convince her ex to finally give her up and to reconvene rhodium shipments to United Africa. But when she makes it to Mars to begin negotiations, she realizes the cold truth: her ex isn’t just negotiating for rhodium.
Apryl finds herself reliving familiar patterns, this time with an entire world in the balance. Will Apryl reclaim her career by re-opening the rhodium trade routes? Or will she sacrifice her freedom to save all she holds dear?
A tantalizing cocktail of deception, betrayal, and black holes, Southern Highlands follows the tradition of Ghosts of Mars by John Carpenter, with a touch of John Woo’s Broken Arrow.

They Whisper in my Blood is a moving love story, a sweeping tale, a panorama of a Portuguese-Indian family’s history told through a poignant refrain that is this clan’s nemesis. It screams across time and continents. There’s murder, girl-child trafficking, a torrid mixed-race affair and homophobia, all of which beget intrigue, sensuousness, heartache . . . but always hope. The characters – visceral, impassioned and deeply flawed – stay with you long after the last page is turned.
The Portuguese were the first European colonizers of India and ruled Portuguese India – Portuguese Estado da �ndia – for four and a half centuries. Their legacy endures even today in the lives of their descendants, one of whom is differential, intelligent, beautiful Perpetua – Pippa – Cabral, the heartsick protagonist in this novel.
Fans of authors like Arundhati Roy, Delia Owens and Richard Powers will love this multi-generational story. Nature’s spontaneous beauty is reverenced in sentences that weave lush imagery, so evocative one can almost smell the spice; sentences that resound with stunning prose crafted seemingly by a poet. Sculpted with as bold a hand, is the plot which delivers one hell of a punch.
