USA Today bestseller and Bram Stoker Award nominee Johanna van Veen unveils a sapphic folk horror tour de force-perfect for fans of The VVitch and The Salt Grows Heavy. A skull's grin is eternal… The year is 1635. Sister Ursula, a young nun fleeing the ruins of her convent, and Elsebeth, a sharp-witted peasant, escape a band of marauding soldiers and disappear into the Bavarian forest. War scorches the land, and no one survives it alone. Amid the devastation, they find something in the arms of a dying man: the gilded skull of a saint. It is said that if you reunite the saint's skull with her body, a wish will be granted. Desperate for salvation, and each with secret desires of their own, Ursula and Elsebeth follow a ragged map across the blighted countryside. But darkness follows them. A necromancer, drawn to the relic's power. The saint herself, whispering at night. And as the lines between blessing and curse blur, the women must face a harrowing truth: the magic they seek comes at a cost. At the journey's end, they'll face an impossible choice-one that could tear apart everything they know…or bind them to each other forever. As beautiful and tender as it is dark and terrifying, Bone of My Bone showcases one of queer horror's most exciting writers in her most chilling tale yet.

This book won’t fix you, but imagine how cool you’ll look carrying it around… Maeve Dunigan has poured a lifetime of effort into seeming effortlessly chill. The results have been … mixed. Nonetheless, Maeve still believes she’s one pair of leather pants, one perfect use of the word “bespoke,” and one jar of expensive olives away from self-actualization. She’ll never stop trying, no matter how bespoke things get (was that right?). With sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Maeve shares her own misadventures?like the time she quietly endured a ruptured appendix at McDonald’s so she wouldn’t come off as dramatic?and explores the universal desire to belong. She invites readers into her world of One Direction fanfiction authorship and passive-aggressive yogurt mind games, detailing the anxieties that come with living in an age of constant visibility. Both cringe-inducing and uproarious, Read This To Look Cool is a deeply relatable meditation on the absurdity inherent in the constant performance of ourselves, offering a fresh perspective on self-love and the true meaning of cool. It’s a book that says “I see you” and also “Don’t look at me, though, my hair is doing something weird.”

After years of living on the Shore, Hannah Bell is sure of two things: 1. The family B&B is her future. 2. Men like Xander-mysterious, charming, and un-freaking-believably gorgeous-do not just wash up like some kind of sexy flotsam. But when Xander appears mostly-naked and half-conscious in the surf, Hannah does what any sane, kind-hearted woman would do: she hauls him into her bed. Her bed and breakfast, that is. It's only polite. But her one act of seaside charity goes sideways fast when her new perennially topless "guest" starts fixing leaky faucets with a wink, charming her with fishy dad jokes, and casually revealing that-oh yeah-he's a freakin' merman. Not only that, but he's the merman who rescued her a decade ago and then ghosted her like an enchanted Tinder date gone wrong. Rude. As Hannah reels from revelations and Xander tries to stay one step ahead of the secrets lurking beneath the tide, they'll need to figure out if their surfside chemistry is just a summer fling...or the start of something truly fin-tastic.
