Five Nights at Freddy's fans won't want to miss this pulse-pounding
collection of three novella-length tales that will keep even the
bravest FNAF player up at night... Haunted by the past... To avoid
confronting an ugly truth, Nole falls prey to a monster that
punishes past transgressions. Growing weaker by the day,
nine-year-old Jake looks back on the time before he was sick,
imagining life as if he were well again. And, forever desperate to
prove his worth to his arrogant brother and distant father, Toby
chases victory at an arcade game with horrifying consequences. But
in the unpredictable world of Five Nights at Freddy's, sometimes
the past can take on a life of its own. In this sixth volume, Five
Nights at Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon spins three sinister
novella-length stories from different corners of his series' canon,
featuring cover art from fan-favourite artist LadyFiszi. Readers
beware: this collection of terrifying tales is enough to unsettle
even the most hardened Five Nights at Freddy's fans.

A Sunday Times and New York Times Bestseller! 'A rip-roaring,
brilliant page-turner, but it's also timely, cheeky, important and
wonderfully, courageously provocative. What great fun!' - James
Patterson 'Smart and fast and twisty, State of Terror is a
dazzlingly unpredictable political thriller. I loved it' - Kathy
Reichs State of Terror is a compelling and critically acclaimed
international political thriller co-written by Hillary Rodham
Clinton, the 67th secretary of state, and Louise Penny, a multiple
award-winning #1 New York Times bestselling novelist. Take a
ringside seat in the high-stakes world of international politics .
. . After a tumultuous period in American politics, a new
administration has just been sworn in. Secretary of State, Ellen
Adams, is determined to do her duty for her country. But she is
about to face a horrifying international threat . . . A young
foreign service officer has received a baffling text from an
anonymous source. Too late, she realizes it was a hastily coded
warning. Then a series of bus bombs devastate Europe, heralding the
rise of a new rogue terrorist organization who will stop at nothing
in their efforts to develop their own nuclear arsenal. As Ellen
unravels the damaging effects of the former presidency on
international politics, she must also contemplate the unthinkable:
that the last president of the United States was more than just an
ineffectual leader. Was he also a traitor to his country?
________________________ Praise for State of Terror: 'Clinton and
Penny are each a force on their own - put together they are
unstoppable' - Karin Slaughter 'This is as close as you'll get to
being in the White House Situation Room with a secretary of state.'
- The Times 'Fast-paced and packed with insider knowledge.' - Daily
Mail 'The perfect political thriller . . . a glimpse into the world
of our most powerful politicians.' - Ann Cleeves
Family first. Family last. The Glass family always... Charley Glass
arrived in her family's lives like the hurricane she'd escaped. But
she hadn't run far enough: the ruthless Giordano family are on her
tail and want two things - her life, and the return of the property
she stole from them. No matter how many bodies stack up. After
years of hoping, Charley finally has the family she's always
wanted, but now she's going to have to tell them the real reason
she came looking for them. There is only one way she's going to
stay alive, and that is to employ the muscle of the notorious Glass
Family. The head of the family, Luke, isn't sure they're strong
enough to take on one of New Orleans' biggest crime gangs. But he'd
put his life on the line to protect the empire they've built - even
if they'll have to take on an enemy hurting enough to cross an
ocean for revenge. Page-turning, gritty, and utterly compelling,
Thief is Owen Mullen's best book yet. Perfect for fans of Martina
Cole, Kimberley Chambers and Mandasue Heller. What readers say
about Owen Mullen: 'Owen Mullen knows how to ramp up the action
just when it's needed... he never fails to give you hard-hitting
thrillers that have moments that will stay with you forever...'
'One of the very best thriller writers I have ever read.' 'Owen
Mullen writes a good story, he really brings his characters to life
and the endings are hard to guess and never what you expected.'
Lydia Millet's previous work has been shortlisted for the Pulitzer
Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Los Angeles
Times Book Prize. Likewise greeted with rapturous praise, Sweet
Lamb of Heaven is a first-person account of a young mother, Anna,
fleeing her cold and unfaithful husband, a businessman who's just
launched his first campaign for political office. When Ned chases
Anna and their six-year-old daughter from Alaska to Maine, the two
go into hiding in a run-down motel on the coast. But the longer
they stay, the less the guests in the dingy motel look like typical
tourists-and the less Ned resembles a typical candidate. As his
pursuit of Anna and their child moves from threatening to criminal,
Ned begins to alter his wife's world in ways she never could have
imagined. A double-edged and satisfying story with a strong female
protagonist, a thrilling plot, and a creeping sense of the
apocalyptic, Sweet Lamb of Heaven builds to a shattering ending
with profound implications for its characters-and for all of us.
