Yet another picks up where Brontë left her, now grieving the loss of her child and crossing time and space to find him. And finally, a young Vietnamese-American man searching for himself in Boston, a tutor whose relationship with a veteran feels strangely, achingly familiar…Each thread tells Jane’s story in sweeping, heartbreaking shades of loss, vulnerability, yearning, and the fierce love of mother and child that withstands time and space. While she may long for something more out of a life she didn’t get to choose, she can still decide what to make of it.

The Baby Farm Murderer
A forensic study of the trial of Amelia Dyer, one of Britain’s most prolific serial killers, thought to have murdered up to 400 babies. This book explores how life in Victorian England created the ideal conditions for Amelia to establish herself as a baby farmer, taking infants from desperate women in exchange for payment.It examines what motivated her to kill and go on killing: her need for money versus her role as custodian in a cult that worshipped Lucifer and delves into her personal life, taking evidence from hundreds of contemporary trial and government records, memoirs and newspaper articles, and investigating what it was about society and policing in the late nineteenth-century that allowed her to get away with it for so long.The nineteenth century was a horrible time to be a woman in England. The lack of legal and effective birth control affected even the highest in the land. Queen Victoria, after having given birth to nine children, was advised by physicians for the sake of her health to have no more. Her diaries complain of ‘no more fun in bed’ as the only legal and safe way to avoid pregnancy was abstinence from sexual intercourse.It was against this backdrop that Amelia Dyer carried out her monstrous campaign. In 1856, she began advertising in local papers under assumed names and reassuring backgrounds, offering to adopt newborn babies in exchange for fees that varied according to the means of the mother. Her 40-year-long killing spree only ended with a local police force sting operation.

Haunted by her regrets at every turn, Bess soon realizes that the past is far more complicated than she ever knew.

In this strange, surreal world, Caoimhe meets the mysterious Shrike, a soldier whose dark past elicits more questions than answers. Drawn to him, and unable to tear herself away from this fantastical place, she soon becomes embroiled in a quest, after her new world is attacked by the Lord of the Dead. Even when nothing makes sense, the truth has a way of revealing itself. Yet the truth about the Clockmaker's world may be the strangest truth of all.
They Marched Under the Sun
Ana and Joan. The first, a woman of daytime, of the contemporary, bombarded by consumerism and the aesthetic and behavioral pressures of our times. The second, a woman immersed in the realm of the night, attuned to ancestralism, rites of passage, and the intuitions of her subconscious. Both are on the brink of turning eighteen, and their stories run in parallel, month by month, until their birthdays. But more than just a tale of the two young women's journeys, They Marched Under the Sun is a novel about violence, religious persecution, the loss of freedom and rights, as well as a statement on our need for ritual, dreams, and the resignification of bodies and social roles, conveyed in the author's vibrant and singular literary voice.

Prokletí Hecate Cavendishové
Anglie roku 1881.
Herefordská katedrála stojí na stráži nad městem, střeží jeho tajemství a drží ve svém kamenném objetí dávno zapomenuté duše. Hecate Cavendishová se s odvážně vyhrnutými sukněmi řítí na kole dlážděnými ulicemi a míří za svým novým životem asistentky knihovníka.
Ale tohle není obyčejná sbírka knih. V katedrále se nachází starobylá knihovna spoutaná řetězy, moudrost střežená po staletí, tajemství a příběhy uzamčené na jejích opotřebovaných, skromných policích.
Nejcennějším artefaktem je však středověká mapa světa, která visí vedle Hecatina stolu. Netuší, jak velký význam pro ni budou mít podivné osoby a bájná stvoření na ní vyobrazená. Netuší ani to, že ve strašidelné katedrále na ni čekají ztracené duše. Některé z nich se stanou jejími nejdražšími přáteli. Jiné budou hledat její pomoc při hledání klidu. A další ji vystaví velkému nebezpečí, čímž, jak Hecate rychle zjistí, ohrozí životy všech, které miluje.

Tajuplné príbehy spod Nízkych Tatier
Hole, Alpes, Nižné Tatry... To je len časť pomenovaní pre pohorie, ktoré dnes poznáme ako Nízke Tatry. Ale vôbec nie sú nízke, veď ich najvyšší vrch, legendárny Ďumbier, sa týči do nadmorskej výšky 2 046 m. Tiahnu sa v dĺžke takmer sto kilometrov stredom Slovenska, oddeľujú údolia Váhu a Hrona. Sú súčasťou Karpát a majú všetko, čo k takému poriadnemu karpatskému horstvu patrí.
Divoké, hlboké hory odpradávna vyvolávali strach, obavy či nedôveru ľudí, ktorí sa usadili pod nimi. Na vrchy a do ich ľadovcových kotlov umiestňovali nadprirodzené bytosti. Postupne však začali horstvo osídľovať a využívať čoraz viac. Zažívali pritom množstvo dobrodružstiev. Pretože nemali výdobytky modernej civilizácie, svoje príhody, príbehy, fantazijné predstavy, ku ktorým hory prirodzene podnecovali, si po večeroch rozprávali či spievali, pretavili ich do množstva krásnych, úprimných výtvorov ľudovej slovesnosti.
Odkázali nám obrovské množstvo príbehov, smutných i veselých. Takých, aké ponúkol život v horách aj pod nimi. Nachádzame v nich nielen mnoho krásnych miest z pohoria i podhoria, príhod a udalostí, ale aj ľudí, od anonymných obyvateľov podhorských dedín až po historické postavy, akými boli Juro Jánošík, Jakub Surovec či náš najpopulárnejší kráľ Matej Korvín.
Keďže dosiaľ nevyšla samostatná kniha povestí z Nízkych Tatier, pokúsil som sa z tej hlbokej studnice príbehov, ktoré starostlivo uchovávali a ďalej šírili generácie našich predkov, vybrať aspoň zopár. Azda vás budú inšpirovať k tomu, aby ste navštívili Nízke Tatry, možno podnietia vašu fantáziu a predstavivosť, keď nimi budete putovať a spoznávať miesta, na ktorých sa tie príbehy odohrávali.
The Wallet and Other Thefts
Winner of the BOMB Fiction Prize and White Review Short Story Prize, Kristen Gleason's debut is a collection of precise, surreal, and lightly linked short fiction, concerned with theft, shame, exile, masochism, and God, reminiscent of Anna Kavan, Jane Bowles, and Marie NDiaye. Closely observed and slyly destabilizing, The Wallet and Other Thefts is a book of short fiction shimmering with mystery and menace. This surreal, precise collection unfolds in a world beyond conventional time and space. Concerned with theft, shame, exile, tourism, masochism, God, and "Nature," these stories are lightly linked—objects, diseases, and landscapes reappear. Gleason's elliptical prose refuses traditional narrative logic, resisting easy resolution. Reminiscent of the work of Anna Kavan, Jane Bowles, and Marie NDiaye, The Wallet and Other Thefts is a work of slipstream fiction that pulses with a sense of something generously withheld.
Declaration/Emancipation Illustrated
R.Sikoryak revisits the Declaration of Independence on 250th anniversary of its signing. R. Sikoryak, the cartoonist who cemented his reputation as the king of the visual mash-up with Masterpiece Comics and The Unquotable Trump, sets his sights on the document that explained to the world why America s thirteen colonies were to be sovereign states. A prequel of sorts to his Constitution Illustrated, Sikoryak presents the unabridged text of the Declaration, rendered in the bright, bold, and iconic styles of over 60 different American comics, cartoons, and graphic novels from over a century. The severing of colonial ties to Great Britain has never been more vividly manifested than in the skillful hands of Sikoryak, who doesn't hesitate to dream up Jeffy from Family Circus as Thomas Jefferson and Elmer Fudd as a British Redcoat. King George III is deliciously portrayed as pop culture s most famous villains, such as Thanos, The Joker, Scar from The Lion King, and many more. Sikoryak also skillfully adopts the styles of such comic artists as Will Eisner of The Spirit, Allie Brosh of Solutions and Other Problems, Morrie Turner of Wee Pals, Mark Beyer of Amy and Jordan, and Floyd Gottfredson of Mickey Mouse. Declaration Illustrated is an entertaining multilayered history lesson for buffs of the American Revolution and American comics.
