On Submission


The author of home invasion horror hit, Anybody Home?, brings murder to the publishing sphere in On Submission, where Scream meets Yellowface when an A-List agent’s top clients all end up dead. Hotshot literary agent Henry Richmond Pendel knows how to find the next big thing and is even better at selling them. But a perfect career becomes increasingly disconcerting as he begins to feel like he’s being watched. There are rumors of a boogeyman in publishing, a rejected writer who has cracked and started killing off writers. When Pendel’s star clients turn up brutally murdered and unsolicited queries become more and more frantic, Pendel must decide whether to act out of safety for himself and his clients or to capitalize on the attention. Is it worth a few more casualties if it means inking a few seven-figure deals? Part slasher and part scream at the publishing industry, Michael J. Seidlinger, the master of psychological terror, offers a brutal new take on the relationship between art and commerce. On Submission is full of villains, where some harm with a pen and others with a knife.

The Life of Violet


Virginia Woolf’s first fully realized work of fiction—published in its final, revised form for the first timeA beguiling trio of fantastical and farcical anti-fairy tales about a giantess who builds a magical “cottage of one’s own,” battles a silver-scaled sea monster, and defies governesses and gravity alikeIn 1907, eight years before she published her first novel, a twenty-five-year-old Virginia Woolf drafted three interconnected comic stories chronicling the adventures of a giantess named Violet—a teasing tribute to Woolf’s friend Mary Violet Dickinson. But it was only in 2022 that Woolf scholar Urmila Seshagiri discovered a final, revised typescript of the stories. The typescript revealed that Woolf had finished this mock-biography, making it her first fully realized literary experiment and a work that anticipates her later masterpieces. Published here for the first time in its final form, The Life of Violet blends fantasy, fairy tale, and satire as it transports readers into a magical world where the heroine triumphs over sea-monsters as well as stifling social traditions. In these irresistible and riotously plotted stories, Violet, who has powers “as marvelous as her height,” gleefully flouts aristocratic proprieties, finds joy in building “a cottage of one’s own,” and travels to Japan to help create a radical new social order. Amid flights of fancy such as a snowfall of sugared almonds and bathtubs made of painted ostrich eggs, The Life of Violet upends the marriage plot, rejects the Victorian belief that women must choose between virtue and ambition, and celebrates women’s friendships and laughter. A major literary discovery that heralds Woolf’s ambitions to revolutionize fiction and sheds new light on her great themes, The Life of Violet is first and foremost a delight to read. This volume features a preface, afterword, notes, and photographs that provide rich historical, literary, and biographical context.

The Women of Wild Hill


'The Women of Wild Hill has everything you could want, with a fascinating tapestry of characters and an interesting magic system’ Daily Express ‘Perfection! An Inspiration! A must-read!’ Reader review ? ‘The Women of Wild Hill certainly weaves its magic from the very first page. Such a powerful story of strong and determined women’ Reader review ? * * * * It’s always three, isn’t it? Three furies, three fates, three graces. Science still has no explanation for the number three, but women instinctively feel its power. We don’t know why three works, but we know it does. Three is the number that gets the job done. Five generations of Sadie Duncan’s descendants claimed the beautiful Wild Hill as their home, each generation of witches stronger than the last. Then, in the aftermath of a tragedy, the last of the Duncans, prophesised to be the most powerful of their kind, abandoned Wild Hill forever. Brigid moved to California and turned her gift into fame and fortune. Her sister Phoebe settled on a ranch in Texas, where women visit in secret for her tonics, and Phoebe’s daughter, Sybil, became a famous chef. Now Brigid, Phoebe, and Sibyl have been brought back to Wild Hill for one thing: The Old One, furious at the path mankind has taken, has chosen them to lead a magical revolution. But first, the Duncan women must confront their pasts, because only once they have each stepped into their power can they fulfil their destiny … Blending witchcraft, magic, and family legacy, The Women of Wild Hill is a modern-day novel about witches and sisterhood that will make everyone believe the power to change the world is in their hands. * * * * Praise for Kirsten Miller: ‘A roar of rage, a pacy page-turner, I loved it’ Marian Keyes ‘A story that’s as furious as it is tender. A look at where justice fits in a world that shows women so little mercy’ Emily Henry ‘Like nothing you’ve ever read before’ Red magazine
