Scorpions
'A skilful, poetic and bleakly funny account of coping with a lifelong condition' – THE GUARDIAN‘Absolutely extraordinary writing.’ – JAMES O'BRIEN'So fantastic' – CHRIS EVANS'Candid and compelling. A must-read.' – BRYONY GORDON'Brilliantly readable.' – PATRICK MCGRATHMy mind is full of scorpions. A cerebral itch, impossible to scratch. I know these creatures well, but they know me better. They answer to another name, this nest of scorpions, the writhing black mass that lives inside my head…For as long as Tuppence Middleton can remember, she has struggled with obsessive thoughts and compulsions. She visualises her OCD as scorpions inhabiting her mind, something to be hidden that impacts her life daily:Have I killed my ca? hen was the last time that person in front of me vomite? ow many people have touched this door handle since it was cleane? hould I tap the outside of the airplane to save my loved ones from har? ften used as a shorthand for tidiness or as the punchline of a joke, OCD is one of society’s most misunderstood disorders and it’s rarely spoken about with such honesty and openness. Beautifully written, moving and often darkly funny, Tuppence recounts what it feels like to share your mind with a nest of scorpions.
Beasts with Five Fingers
He looked up at the picture rail, and there was the hand holding on to a hook with three fingers, and slowly scratching the head of the parrot with the fourth. In 1919, W. F. Harvey published 'The Beast with Five Fingers', his quintessential tale of the disembodied hand with a murderous mind of its own, and its position as one of weird fiction's true classics was cemented by the 1946 film adaptation. Seeking to trace the origins of the haunted hand story back into the nineteenth century, and to showcase its influence on writers of weird fiction from the 1920s to the modern day, horror expert Brian J. Showers presents a new collection of classics from the well-thumbed oeuvres of Sheridan Le Fanu and Guy de Maupassant through to miniature masterpieces from the hands of Jean Ray, Mark Valentine and many more. Featuring ghostly hands, hands possessed by demons and unexplained hands where no hands should be, prepare to enter a world of nightmares run amok as the vice-grip of terror takes hold.
The Serpent
An old man living at the height of his powers of recall and memory tells the story of his life on the day of his death from the vantage point on a hill above the village where he was born. Quietly narrated and yet raging with will and the passion of youth, this is a novel about fathers and sons, hope and hope’s death, and how we might live in the world before leaving it. In the company of such masterpieces as Seethaler’s A Whole Life and Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich. A wildly immersive story, The Serpent will grip the reader from the outset and is a provocative and an-putdownable study of what it is to be human.
Vocal Break
A dazzlingly original reassessment of the power and plurality of women's singing voices by the critically acclaimed author of Art Monsters and Scaffolding
'It took me ten years to go from shy young girl to punk rocker, if I'd had this book I'd have got there much quicker' Viv Albertine
For millennia, women's raised voices have been heard as unruly, uncivilized, dangerous. Women singing were cast as sirens: mythical creatures who lured sailors to their death.
In Vocal Break, Lauren Elkin seamlessly blends memoir, feminist manifesto and cultural history to explore a plurality of female singing voices - and how women have used them to defy convention, genre, capitalism, racism and sexism. Drawing on her own experiences training as a young soprano in the 1990s, Elkin reflects on the way power and identity shape our voices, focusing on the women who most excited her when she was learning to sing.
A vocal break refers to the place where the voice shifts from lower to higher registers and this is a book about what kind of meanings, and sounds, can be made there. Immersing readers in an eclectic soundscape, from musicals and pop music to art punk, what follows is a full-throated tour of women's voices, including Édith Piaf, Maria Callas, Cyndi Lauper, Kathleen Hanna, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Beyoncé, FKA Twigs and Billie Eilish.
Reflecting on what makes women's singing so powerful - to the point where others feel the need to control or manipulate it - Vocal Break is a joyous call to arms, a siren call:
Girls to the front: NOW.
Do vody
Pozor na tiché vody, nikdy nevíte, co se v nich skrývá…
V hlubinách řeky protékající městečkem Beckford skončil život již mnoha žen, nikdo ale nečekal, že tam objeví i tělo Nel Abbottové. Po Nelině nečekané smrti se do města vrací její sestra Julia, aby identifikovala ostatky a postarala se o osiřelou neteř.
Julia, která přísahala, že už se do Beckfordu nikdy nevrátí, teď bojuje se záplavou nevítaných vzpomínek, ale především pátrá po tom, proč musela Nel zemřít. Byla to nehoda, sebevražda, nebo vražda? A souvisí nějak její smrt se sebevraždou dívky, kterou na dně řeky našli téhož léta?

The Lowe Job
When Lili Lowe is caught in a compromising position with her boss, married politician Teddy Landen, she suddenly finds herself thrust into the centre of a media frenzy.
She turns, as most daughters would, to her mother. Yet Lydia Lowe is a former talent agent, and it's not long before the whole world knows the name Lili Lowe.
As the spotlight brightens on Lili, and her three sisters Stevie, Iris and Katie, the women's lives are changed in ways they could never have predicted.
And it's soon clear that fame, and fortune, comes with a price...

Fieldwork as a Sex Object
I mute the audio. I replay the video four times.
It is not me. It is my fucking face.
Amrita Chaturvedi goes by Amy. Amy identifies as a communist on Twitter (her profile omits a stint on Big Brother and a billionaire daddy running the show at the High Court of Delhi).
Then reality hits: a deepfake porno of her forwarded around by WhatsApp aunties goes viral. On her birthday, Amy wakes to a stoning in the digital town square that could cancel the likes of Kim Kardashian.
Her executioners? A cartel of unhinged virgins styling themselves after V for Vendetta - except these keyboard warriors are on a ruthless crusade to wipe out desi jezebels and Make India Hindu Again.
A muscular, monumental work of internet literature in which the online turns offline turns bloody, Fieldwork as a Sex Object is not a novel you read but a novel that reads you: what are you prepared to risk for what you claim to believe?
Stronger Than You Think
In a world rocked by pandemics, climate change, and political unrest, resilience has never been more essential.
In this groundbreaking book, trauma researcher, survivor, and professor Sherry Hamby reveals the truth about resilience: struggling with trauma doesn't mean we lack it. Instead, it's a sign that we're facing life's challenges head-on. What we need to know is how to bounce back and prepare better for future hardships.
Drawing on years of research and lived experience, Hamby introduces the concept of the "resilience equation": by increasing our 'strengths dosage', we can offset our 'trauma dosage'. In other words, adding more positive experiences can help us heal from the negative ones. It's possible to thrive, even after significant trauma, and piece together a meaningful, fulfilled life.
This book empowers you with three core steps to cultivate resilience:
1. Find connection - through something larger than yourself
2. Master your emotions and behaviours - learn how to manage your impulses
3. Leverage your resources - tap into the support of family, friends, and community
From practices like mindfulness and forest bathing to deeper calls for social justice and activism, Stronger Than You Think equips you with tools to strengthen your own resilience and uplift others in the process. No matter what life throws your way, you'll learn how to face it with strength, hope, and purpose.
