Where Lost Girls Go
From Kody Keplinger, New York Times bestselling author of The Duff, comes an addictive YA thriller that's The Girls by Emma Cline meets The Girls I've Been by Tess Sharpe.
'Keplinger 's storytelling is strongest when describing the girls' reactions to a cult leader-like father figure, from basking in the glow of validation to experiencing self-doubt and isolation... A story of survival and maintaining empathy despite dire circumstances.' - Kirkus
There are many reasons why five girls have ended up living with Sol in a cabin in the Kentucky mountains. But the girls don't talk about what has brought each of them here or who they were before. They have become sisters and are grateful to have a place to call home.
Iris knows she owes everything to Sol. He has promised to keep them safe from their pasts. All he asks in return is for their loyalty, which Iris freely gives. With her sisters and Sol as her family, she feels happier than she has in a long time.
Until a new girl arrives and everything changes.
Sol christens her Rose and the sisters are quick to welcome her. Iris is drawn to Rose, but as they grow closer, Rose has Iris questioning things about this life in the woods. When Sol notices, he challenges Iris to prove her commitment to their family. Her sisters tell her that she should be willing to do anything for the man who saved her. But with each new ask, Iris realizes there is more to Sol -and her sisters - than she knows and some secrets should stay buried deep.
A thriller with true heart - a gripping, stunningly told, edge-of-your-seat story of shifting power and found family.
Perfect for fans of The Girls and The Girls I've Been

Push the Wall
YOU KNOW BATMAN.
BUT DO YOU KNOW FRANK MILLER?
In Push the Wall, Frank Miller chronicles the creation of his most iconic works such as Sin City, 300, Ronin, Daredevil, Wolverine and notably, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, which, alongside Batman: Year One served as the foundation for all Batman film and animated adaptations for the past forty years.
Miller reveals how he got his first breaks, how he poured his own life into his darkly realistic characters, how he fought against comic book censorship of the early 1980s, and how he introduced manga-style storytelling to US readers decade before popular anime and manga began tiptoeing into pop culture. Miller transformed the way comics are told and this is how he did it.
Push the Wall is a masterclass in the art of storytelling and an intimate look inside the mind and life of a creative genius. With over a dozen illustrations, chosen from seminal moments from Miller's art, and organised by the sixteen lessons that meant most to Miller, this reveals the man behind some of the most exciting stories of our age.

Schoolgirl
A new selection of six short stories by one of Japan's most iconic twentieth-century writers
An adolescent girl narrates her day in an existential masterpiece that explores what it means to be a forming person in a fomenting society. A woman writes a farewell note to her husband, an artist who has driven her away with his counterfeit profundity and naked ambition. A plain young woman steals a bathing suit for a handsome friend, only to find herself ostracised by her neighbours for her boy-crazed behaviour - and her refusal to be shamed.
These six stories by Osamu Dazai are among his finest. Written during the Second World War, in the shadow of intense nationalism, they unpick the concept of the patriotic, productive or moral self. Including the novella 'Schoolgirl', which rocketed Dazai to fame on initial publication in 1939, this collection, newly translated by Polly Barton, is a perfect introduction to Dazai's work.

The problem is, Sabrina's heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he'll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist.

Paper Heart
Winner of the Irish Book Awards Popular Fiction Book of the Year 2025!
Pip’s world is small. But it’s about to become a whole lot bigger.
For years she’s tucked away her dreams, shrinking herself into the space left behind – like the delicate origami she creates alone in her room.
Then hope comes from an unlikely place: an astronomer from the local observatory. He teaches her to look up at the stars, and to see a world far bigger and more beautiful than she ever imagined.
And perhaps in that big, beautiful universe there’s someone waiting for her. If she can find the courage to open her heart.
Pip never stopped dreaming, but now it’s time for her to live – and maybe even to fall in love.

Wake
WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY MARK RYLANCE'As disturbing as it is empathetic, as beautiful as it is riveting' Eimear McBride, New Statesman'A literary triumph' Adam Thorpe, Guardian1066. The Norman invasion has brutally seized the country that the Buccmaster of Holland, a proud landowning farmer in Lincolnshire, once knew. Bereft of his wife and sons, the Buccmaster clings to the ways of the Old Gods, and assembles a band of 'grene men' to seek revenge. Winner of the Gordon Burn Prize 2014 and longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, The Wake transports readers to an English landscape steeped in folklore, omens and violence. Told in a 'shadow tongue' - a form of Old English understandable to a modern reader - the novel is an astonishing and gripping depiction of faith, homeland and identity at the end of the world.

Excellent’ Financial TimesFrom the Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Burnt Sugar comes a gripping psychodrama of unravelling and rebirth – for readers of Katie Kitamura, Deborah Levy, Gwendoline Riley and Elena Ferrante'Unsparing, exhilarating. This novel boils with brutal insight. Avni Doshi is among the finest prose stylists at work today' Katie Kitamura'Lush and sharpened to a dagger point... I was consumed by this novel' Amina Cain‘I married my husband to live in a fairy tale. I imagined us like planets orbiting the sun or gods enacting their myths. Marriage was a solution and I wanted to be dissolved.’A woman’s husband walks into their bedroom one evening and tells her that he wants a divorce. She is stunned. They have always had a happy marriage, an almost perfect marriage. In the following days, marooned with two young daughters in a hostile suburb, the woman starts coming apart. As she sifts through the ruins of their shared life, she begins to notice the warning signs which she chose not to see the first time around. She wanders deep into the forest of her own mind, where marital memories intermingle with myths of headless women and vengeful goddesses, messages hidden in the constellations, glimpses of a natural world seething and alive with portents. Over the course of a single summer, as the cicadas that have been buried in the ground for seventeen years prepare to emerge and fill the air with a plague of ecstatic transformation, the woman too is splitting, liquifying and reforming, stretching her new antennae toward the light. This is a novel about unhappy families – about poison seeping through the domestic space, the bloody battlefield of the home, the enduring threat posed by those closest to us. Stiletto-sharp and darkly hypnotic, it is a gripping psychodrama of unravelling and rebirth.

Hekaté – A boszorkány (Az Alvilág istennői 1.)
Hekaté egy lángokban álló, háború sújtotta világba születik.
A titánok és az új istenek, az Olümposz urai készülnek a végső összecsapásra. Mivel szülei a vesztes oldalra álltak, Hekaté anyjával együtt menekülni kényszerül. Hogy megóvja lányát az őket üldöző Zeusztól és Poszeidóntól, Asztéria leszáll vele az Alvilágba, ahol Sztüx istennő és Hadész király gondjaira bízza.
Hekaté árván, magányosan, az Alvilág csodái és borzalmai között cseperedik fel, miközben kétségbeesetten kutatja isteni célját és helyét a holtak világában.
Végül felfedi valódi képességeit, és istennői rangra emelkedik, ám rá kell ébrednie, hogy még a leghatalmasabb olümposziak is rettegnek tőle. Amikor azonban egy újabb háború előszele azzal fenyeget, hogy mindent elsöpör az Olümposz hegyvonulataitól egészen az Alvilágig, a boszorkányság és a fekete mágia istennője az egyetlen, aki véget vethet a halálos küzdelemnek…
