Ako zniesť zo sveta upíra
Napínavý triler z deväťdesiatych rokov, plný záhad a južanského šarmu, v ktorom sa realita prelína s nadprirodzenom.
Patricia Campbellová mala pred sebou sľubnú budúcnosť, no odkedy sa vzdala kariéry zdravotnej sestry a stala sa matkou, život sa jej nikdy nezdal fádnejší. Dni sú dlhé, deti sú nevďačné, manžel je odmeraný a zoznam povinností nekonečný. Jej jedinou oázou šťastia je čitateľský klub, ktorý tvoria ženy zdieľajúce rovnakú vášeň pre skutočné zločiny a napínavé romány. Na svojich stretnutiach pritom diskutujú skôr o federálnom obliehaní vo Waco, než o manželských krízach a materstve.
Jedného dňa sa do susedstva prisťahuje príťažlivý a umelecky nadaný James Harris, ktorý zaujme členky knižného klubu – a okúzli aj samotnú Patriciu. Prežíva pri ňom veci, ktoré už roky nezažila, no je na ňom čosi zvláštne. Keď začnú miznúť miestne deti a polícia je bezradná, Patricia nadobudne znepokojivé podozrenie. Pustí sa do vyšetrovania na vlastnú päsť, presvedčená, že ide o ďalšieho Jeffreyho Dahmera či Teda Bundyho. Lenže to, čo odhalí, je oveľa desivejšie. Čoskoro sa ukáže, že ona a jej priateľky z knižného klubu sú jedinou prekážkou medzi nič netušiacou komunitou, a monštrom, ktoré vpustili do svojich domovov.

Éldekorált kiadás
Aznap éjjel, amikor Kelet Hercege lerombolta a faluját, Raina Bloodgood élete örökre megváltozott. Valaki más háborújába és a Boszorkányszedő, Alexus Thibault karjaiba sodródott, majd rájött, hogy minden, amiben hitt, hamis, és hogy sokkal többre képes, mint bárki képzelte volna.
Kelet Hercege most bábuként használja a Fagykirályt a Nyárföld elleni háborújában, amivel veszélybe sodorja Alexus életét. Hogy megakadályozzák a herceg végső tervét és azt, hogy Tiressia birodalma visszatérjen az istenek korába, Raina, Alexus és egy csapat északi versenyt fut az idővel, hogy a rejtelmes sivatagba jussanak, ahol minden sarkon kegyetlen gyilkosok lesnek rájuk.
A tragédiák forgatagában Raina és Alexus azért küzdenek, hogy együtt életben maradjanak, miközben egy alattomos jelenés egészen Romvárosig, Nyárföld királynője fellegvárának ékköves kapujáig követi őket. A félelmetes események közepette Raina nem tudja kiűzni álmaiból azt a múltbéli borzalmat, amelyre nem lenne szabad emlékeznie.
A múlt, amely óhatatlanul utoléri őt – bármi áron.

A Long Dark Night
"A tense and atmospheric thriller that is just as much a tale of survival as it is one of love and devotion.”—Kimi Cunningham Grant, USA Today bestselling author of The Nature of DisappearingA young chef returns home to find her small town caught in the snare of an oil company. Her brother witnesses a chilling crime at the drilling site, and their attempts to bring justice are met with fierce opposition in this engrossing thriller. After her restaurant closes and she returns to her childhood home, deep in the Alaskan wilderness, Nina has one goal: finding a way back out. Her family’s sled-dog business is struggling, and she is alarmed that her brother Grant is working at the nearby oil field. Grant comes home one day extremely unsettled by his involvement in disturbing events at work. The supervisor on duty orchestrated a suspiciously seamless coverup of a deadly accident, leading both siblings to wonder if the past disappearances of field workers are more than a coincidence. Grant wants to forget the whole thing ever happened—the oil rig is the only source of employment that pays enough to keep their family afloat, and he doesn’t want to risk any jail time. But Nina can’t let this lie. The opportunity to uncover the truth about the disappearances and protect her family from increasing threats is too important. What starts as an attempt to unravel the mystery leads Nina, Grant, and their loved ones directly into the path of those determined to keep them silent no matter the cost. Lilli Sutton returns with another atmospheric and captivating thriller in A Long Dark Night. Her debut novel, Running Out of Air, was called “an adventure worth taking,” “packed full of tension [and] heart.” Prepare to be left breathless again.

Wild That We're Alive
You haven’t really experienced how weird and beautiful the world is until you see it through Lauren Haldeman’s eyes. These beautiful diary comics by the award-winning poet offer a fresh, humorous, and emotionally resonant perspective on the wonders and weirdness of everyday life. Following the artist and her family—three humans, three cats, and one dog—through twelve months of morning coffees, late night TV, laundry folding, and walks in the woods, Wild That We're Alive invites the reader to marvel at the wonder and weirdness of the ordinary. Depicting herself as a wolf on the page, Lauren embraces the moniker “Momboy”: part responsible child-rearing adult and part lovable feral kid. In her particularity, she is all of us: grappling with anxieties, awed by the little things, and ready to throw her hands up and laugh or cry in the face of social media, squirrels, politics, and figuring out what to have for dinner. In these pages, Lauren intersperses her diary comics, pithy observations, and philosophical musings with a handful of painterly full-bleed illustrations to show the passing of the seasons. Like a Midwestern, sweatpants-wearing Roz Chast, Lauren portrays herself and those around her with affectionate self-deprecation—occasionally grumpy, rarely pretty, but always real. For fans of Lucy Knisley’s portrayals of life with both cats and children and Julia Wertz’s explorations of the ways we struggle and succeed in the work of caring for ourselves and others, Wild That We're Alive is a debut book from an exciting new voice in comics.

The Charmed Library
With her signature blend of magical and heartfelt storytelling, USA TODAY bestselling author Jennifer Moorman returns with The Charmed Library, a love letter to libraries, favorite childhood stories, and readers who have fallen for fictional heroes. Like many other public libraries, the one in Blue Sky Valley, North Carolina, is a haven for readers. But it's also unlike any other. In this library, fictional characters step off the page into real life. Assistant librarian Stella Parker has no idea. Still reeling from her father's death and--more recently--a breakup, she hasn't noticed. All she knows is she's stuck in a job she's overqualified for and stumped about what to do with her life. Everything changes when she burns her beloved journal. Words matter to Stella. For as long as she can remember, she's seen them. Words appear--in varying colors and fonts--rising from surfaces, bouncing over objects, and even wiggling out of people. Words give her insight into emotions and untold stories. But the words change for Stella after she burns her journal. Suddenly they're demanding, urgent--and painful. Then Stella stumbles upon strange characters in the library after hours. One is an oddly familiar World War II soldier who introduces himself as Jack--Jack Mathis, the main character from her favorite book. A fictional hero and Stella's first crush. Standing in front of her in the flesh. Jack tells Stella about the magic hidden in the library. Skeptical, Stella rashly invites a villain to visit, and chaos ensues. As she discovers the importance of protecting the library's secret and gets to know the real Jack, words continue to appear. What are they trying to tell he? uch too quickly, Stella is faced with the reality that all stories must end, and magic comes at a price. The characters who visit the library can only stay for fourteen days. And Jack's time is almost up. A cozy, Hallmark-esque rom-com, The Charmed Library invites readers to escape to a world where words come alive and book boyfriends leap off the page.

Sarah Perry'Pulsing with life and lyricism.' Spectator'Fiercely exuberant.' Observer'Delightfully playful.' Andrew Miller'A truly astonishing thing.' George MonbiotA wondrous, elemental novel from 'a writer of show-stopping genius'. GuardianSHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZE, THE GORDON BURN PRIZE AND THE WINSTON GRAHAM PRIZELONGLISTED FOR THE CLIMATE FICTION PRIZE AND THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE Helm is a ferocious, mischievous wind - a subject of folklore and wonder - who has blasted the sublime landscape of the Eden Valley since the very dawn of time. This is Helm's life story, formed from the chronicles of those the wind enchanted: the Neolithic tribe who tried to placate it, the Dark Age wizard priest who wanted to banish it, the Victorian steam engineer who attempted to capture it - and the farmer's daughter who fell in love. But now Dr Selima Sutar, surrounded by measuring instruments, alone in her observation hut, fears the end is nigh. Vital and audacious, Helm is the elemental tale of a unique life force - and of a relationship: between nature and people, neither of whom can weather life without the other. 'Sarah Hall's writing has conquered the body and the soul and now it conquers the wind itself.' DAISY JOHNSON'I can think of no other British writer whose talent so consistently thrills, surprises and staggers.' BENJAMIN MYERS'I'm awed . I wouldn't think a novel could be at once so taut and so multifarious, expanding one's sense of what fiction can do.' SARAH MOSS'Helm is as vital, fierce and free as the phenomenon it describes.' FINANCIAL TIMES'A spectacular epic tapestry. Nobody could tell the story of our inextricable relationship with wild nature as beautifully as Sarah Hall.' LEE SCHOFIELD'[Hall] sweeps from the cinematic to the specific, her prose pulsing with life and lyricism. Helm pushes both the boundaries of the novel and our relationship with nature.' SPECTATOR'A big, celebratory book, in places delightfully playful, in others as tight and breathless as a thriller.' ANDREW MILLER
