Five Nights at Freddy's: Fazbear Frights come to life in these
pulse-pounding graphic novel stories! What do you wish for most?
It's a question that Oswald, Sarah, and Oscar think they know the
answer to. Oswald wishes his summer wasn't so boring, Sarah wishes
to be beautiful, and Oscar wishes to get his hands on the
mechanical toy that's out of stock all over town. But in the
twisted world of Five Nights at Freddy's, their hearts' deepest
desires have an unexpected cost. Told through delightfully scary
artwork Three novella-length comic stories that will keep even the
bravest player up at night This collection of terrifying tales is
enough to unsettle even the most hardened Five Nights at Freddy's
fans.
Acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Haigh returns
to the Pennsylvania town at the center of her iconic novel Baker
Towers in this ambitious, achingly human story of modern America
and the conflicting forces at its heart-a bold, moving drama of
hope and desperation, greed and power, big business and small-town
families. Forty years ago, Bakerton coal fueled the country. Then
the mines closed, and the town wore away like a bar of soap. Now
Bakerton has been granted a surprise third act: it sits squarely
atop the Marcellus Shale, a massive deposit of natural gas. To
drill or not to drill? Prison guard Rich Devlin leases his mineral
rights to finance his dream of farming. He doesn't count on the
truck traffic and nonstop noise, his brother's skepticism or the
paranoia of his wife, Shelby, who insists the water smells strange
and is poisoning their frail daughter. Meanwhile his neighbors,
organic dairy farmers Mack and Rena, hold out against the
drilling-until a passionate environmental activist disrupts their
lives. Told through a cast of characters whose lives are
increasingly bound by the opposing interests that underpin the
national debate, Heat and Light depicts a community blessed and
cursed by its natural resources. Soaring and ambitious, it zooms
from drill rig to shareholders' meeting to the Three Mile Island
nuclear reactor to the ruined landscape of the "strippins,"
haunting reminders of Pennsylvania's past energy booms. This is a
dispatch from a forgotten America-a work of searing moral clarity
from one of the finest writers of her generation, a courageous and
necessary book.
This New York Times bestseller from “one of the great storytellers of
our time” (San Francisco Book Review) turns from the glamour of the
royal courts to tell the story of an ordinary woman, Alinor, living in
a dangerous time for a woman to be different.
On Midsummer’s Eve, Alinor waits in the church graveyard, hoping to
encounter the ghost of her missing husband and thus confirm his death.
Until she can, she is neither maiden nor wife nor widow, living in a
perilous limbo. Instead she meets James, a young man on the run. She
shows him the secret ways across the treacherous marshy landscape of
the Tidelands, not knowing she is leading a spy and an enemy into her
life.
England is in the grip of a bloody civil war that reaches into the most
remote parts of the kingdom. Alinor’s suspicious neighbors are watching
each other for any sign that someone might be disloyal to the new
parliament, and Alinor’s ambition and determination mark her as a woman
who doesn’t follow the rules. They have always whispered about the
sinister power of Alinor’s beauty, but the secrets they don’t know
about her and James are far more damning. This is the time of
witch-mania, and if the villagers discover the truth, they could take
matters into their own hands.
“This is Gregory par excellence” (Kirkus Reviews). “Fans of Gregory’s
works and of historicals in general will delight in this page-turning
tale” (Library Journal, starred review) that is “superb… A searing
portrait of a woman that resonates across the ages” (People).
