Two mortals. One Wraith. Zero rules . . .

When she commands him to devour the soul of a formidable rival witch, Jasper Prescott, Dáinn is stopped in his tracks by a human.
Birdie Rhodes, aspiring historian and sometimes shopgirl, works for Jasper. But what dark magic
could a human like Birdie possess to stop a wraith?
Now, Jasper is back from the brink and obsessed with the woman who somehow saved him – and the monster who tried to take him. And all three are set on a path that could lead to their destiny . . . or their ruin.

The cult Korean psychological horror tale of revenge, reinvention, and what it takes to grow back. Perfect nutrients for fans of CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN and MY SISTER THE SERIAL KILLER
In the heart of a quiet town, a young woman tends to her plant shop, but beneath the soil of her lush, green sanctuary lies something far darker....
Every garden needs a little weeding ...
Tucked away in the corner of a neighbourhood in Dosan, South Korea, is the Plant Shop. Its owner Yoohee has started anew, while her meticulously grown foliage thrives under her tender care. The shop is her refuge, where petunias and marigolds bloom and the air itself is like an elixir of peace.
By day, Yoohee dispenses gardening advice, but she also finds herself offering a special service out-of-hours. Women in desperation come to her about a man they hope might disappear from their lives.
Because Yoohee has encountered these kinds of men in her own life, men who treated her (and her beloved plants) with utter disrespect.
So as night falls, Yoohee trades her apron for a shovel and a hoe and vanishes into her moonlit garden. There, she buries not just the remains of the day, but also the bloody remnants of a few unfortunate incidents.
As more men are reported missing, a determined young detective comes knocking ...
Atmospheric and haunting, PLANT LADY is a subtle, humorous story of dangerous obsession and misogyny that will fertilise your deepest fears and keep you rooted right to its chilling last page.
Wasteland Girls
'A collection of stories that feel like worlds in their own right, masterworks in miniature. This book is the short story form in the hands of a master. Anna Bailey is a once-in-a-generation talent' C J Cooke
Wasteland Girls is a collection of lyrical, incisive and luminous stories by the Sunday Times bestselling author of Tall Bones and Our Last Wild Days.
These stunningly powerful stories explore the wildness and beauty of the American heartlands, a place where lives are lived on the margins, but also where there is dignity, hope, revenge and restitution.
In 'Long Way to Come for a Sip of Water', which was shortlisted for the BBC National Short Story Award, Texan man Ready drives through a divided US to see his dying brother. Wasteland Girls, the title story, is a powerful tale of a family of hoarders, of magic and revenge. In Yukon 1940, a woman sits beside the body of her husband in a remote cabin, trapped by the frozen sea. The Girl in the Ground follows a woman who suddenly reappears after twenty years of absence, but for whom the past is a void. A widower meets a man who should died many times.
Deeply atmospheric and soulful, the stories in Wasteland Girls are inspired by the author's experience of living amid the beautiful but often ferocious remote landscapes of the US, and among the wild and secretive people who inhabit them. In the vastness of the wilds, anything can happen...

Roman Fever
Tales of betrayal, rivalry and loss from the great chronicler of New York's Gilded Age, in an irresistible Little Clothbound Classics edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith
In these elegant and devastating tales of deception, desire and social intrigue, Edith Wharton exposes the brittle veneer of civility that masks human ambition and longing. From the sunlit terraces of Rome to the drawing rooms of New York, Wharton's characters navigate a world bound by class and convention, yet charged with emotional undercurrents they barely understand. In 'Roman Fever', two middle-aged women confront the unspoken rivalries that have shadowed their friendship for decades; in 'Mrs. Manstey's View', a lonely widow's cherished glimpse of life beyond her window becomes the stage for a quiet tragedy; and in 'After Holbein', the elaborate pretences of two ageing New Yorkers reveal the haunting persistence of vanity and illusion.

Dinner at the Night Library
For fans of What You Are Looking For is in the Library and Days at the Morisaki Bookshop
Translated by Philip Gabriel, the translator of The Travelling Cat Chronicles
The Night Library is no ordinary library.
Within it are found the rarest and most unusual collections - the books of deceased famous writers:
the books they wrote
the books that inspired them
the books they loved
All Otaha Higuchi wants to do is work with books. However, the exhausting nature of her work at a chain bookstore, combined with her paltry salary and irritating manager quickly bring reality crashing down around her.
She is on the verge of quitting when she receives a message from somebody calling themselves 'Seven Rainbows', inviting her to apply for a job at a library with no name, a place referred to simply as 'The Night Library'.
After successfully passing the interview, Otaha arrives at The Night Library and her sunny personality immediately earns her comparisons with Anne of Green Gables. For the very first time she feels she has found her place in the world. As well as a treasure trove of books, the library houses a group of likeminded literary misfits, including a legendary chef who prepares incredible meals for the library's employees at the end of each day.
Together they embark on a series of bookish adventures. But when the library's mysterious owner decides to temporarily close the library, Otaha and her friends fear that it may not reopen and that the peace they have found there will be lost to them forever.
Is their friendship and their faith in the value of books strong enough to save it? And what will remain if it isn't?
Dinner at the Night Library is a heartwarming literary mystery, filled with quirky characters, Japanese culture and the mouthwatering meals. It asks why books matter and offers a cheer of encouragement to everybody who believes they do. Ultimately, it is a paean to reading and the relevance of books through the ages-past, present, and future.

Seven Logics of Sculpture
From architectural space to narrative dynamics: a brilliant new conception of sculpture's unique modalities
While discussions about installation art or other three-dimensional art forms are widespread, the discourse on sculpture seems to be stuck in historical or thematic frameworks. Drawing from literature, philosophy, psychoanalysis and architecture, Ernst van Alphen explores "seven logics" of sculpture: the Logic of Inner Necessity; the Logic of Narration; the Logic of Space; the Logic of Volume; the Logic of Assemblage; the Logic of Architectural Space; and the Non-Logic of Singleness. These themes articulate the modalities specific to sculpture in a fresh and brilliant conception. Artists discussed include Carl Andre, Louise Bourgeois, Constantin Brâncusi, Joseph Cornell, Marcel Duchamp, Eva Hesse, Donald Judd, Sol Lewitt, Franz Xaver Messerschmidt, Michelangelo, Bruce Nauman, Meret Oppenheim and Rachel Whiteread.Ernst van Alphen (born 1958) is a cultural theorist and a professor emeritus of literary studies at the Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society. He is the author of Failed Images (Valiz, 2018) and Staging the Archive (Reaktion Books, 2014), and the editor of Shame! and Masculinity (Valiz, 2020).
