Classic Japanese Ghost Stories
Enter the haunted world of Japan in this spine-tingling collection of ghostly tales, beautifully bound in a luxurious special edition.
From goblin-infested caves and haunted tombs to vengeful spirits and strange, sinister happenings, ancient Japan was a country and culture that lived between realms: the world of the everyday and the world of the supernatural. It was a place where men could be brought down by karmic forces or lured into deadly danger by ghostly apparitions, and where the land held sorrowful secrets or stories that long awaited an opportunity to reveal themselves and seek reparation.
Committed to paper at the turn of the twentieth century by a unique set of folklorists, the ghost stories presented in this anthology will transport readers to a time of magic and mystery.

The Nightingales
A stunning graphic novel set in 1980s smalltown America about a seventeen-year-old girl and the dying stranger who moves into her family’s home
It’s spring 1985 when Emil Wilson’s father, Donald, quietly invites his colleague Jim to move in with his family. What Don doesn’t tell his wife Annemarie or his teenage daughter Lou is that Jim has AIDS.
For small-town Oregon in the eighties, a place where Lou’s treasured New York Times arrives three days late, AIDS is still a news story that happens in faraway places to faraway people. Jim is worldly, witty and quickly deteriorating. His presence in the house turns the family upside down.
As Annemarie’s fear and resentment grow, adding further strain to the family’s shaky foundations, Lou forms an unlikely friendship with Jim (and his two showbiz Pomeranians, Henny and Penny) – a friendship that pushes Lou to grow up, get out and imagine a life beyond the limits of her town.
Tender, funny and gorgeously illustrated in full colour, The Nightingales is an unforgettable portrait of an imperfect family, and a coming of age shaped by love and loss.

The Museum of Unconditional Surrender
‘A writer to cherish’ Susan Sontag
‘The story of a shattered life can only be told in bits and pieces’A pink cigarette lighter, lollipop sticks, a beer-bottle opener: these are some of the contents of Roland the Walrus’s stomach, displayed in the Berlin Zoo.

An Unwritten Novel
Saving fleeting snapshots, astutely observing strangers, recording meticulous detail: modernist author Virginia Woolf knows how to capture a moment.In 'Kew Gardens' and 'An Unwritten Novel', everyday life becomes a powerful stage for dreaming and storytelling. Woolf’s trademark stream-of-consciousness writing style is showcased in 'The Mark on the Wall' where a nameless narrator zeroes in on their environment, becoming more and more unnerved by a seemingly inexplicable dark stain.'The New Dress' and 'The Looking Glass' are brilliantly observed portraits of a few choice instants. In the former, the party dress Mabel Waring decides to wear leaves her feeling uncertain and doubtful, but she resolves to change for the better. In each of these seven stories, Woolf explores the nuanced events which make up daily life and maps how they intertwine with our thoughts and emotions.This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector's Library's 10th anniversary. Each contains a curated selection of short stories from a literary giant: Katherine Mansfield, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rabindranath Tagore.

Drawn Together

The daughter of a powerful businessman, she spends her days juggling Columbia classes, stolen hours at her ballet studio, and glittering nights in New York City.Her world feels untouchable — polished, predictable, safe. Until the afternoon she’s abducted in Central Park. Days later, Marfil opens her eyes in a hospital in New Orleans with no memory of what happened.There are no demands, no suspects, no explanation, only fear and the unsettling certainty that she is no longer safe. In the wake of the attack, her father tightens security and assigns her a bodyguard: Sebastian Moore. Sebastian is controlled, distant, unreadable — a man whose discipline borders on dangerous.His quiet intensity unsettles and infuriates Marfil in equal measure, stirring resentment toward his presence, his rules, his unyielding watchfulness. Yet as the threat surrounding her refuses to fade, Sebastian becomes the one person she cannot escape… and the one she cannot stop wanting. What begins as tension slowly ignites into something far more dangerous.Because the closer Marfil gets to Sebastian, the more she realizes the greatest risk may not be the one lurking in the shadows… but the feelings she never meant to have for the man sworn to protect her. Lush, addictive, and charged with suspense, Drawn Together is a darkly romantic story about love and survival, temptation and control, and the cost of uncovering what others would rather keep buried.
