Set in Colonial New England, Slewfoot is a tale of magic and
mystery, of triumph and terror as only dark fantasist Brom can tell
it. Connecticut, 1666. An ancient spirit awakens in a dark wood.
The wildfolk call him Father, slayer, protector. The colonists call
him Slewfoot, demon, devil. To Abitha, a recently widowed outcast,
alone and vulnerable in her pious village, he is the only one she
can turn to for help. Together, they ignite a battle between pagan
and Puritan - one that threatens to destroy the entire village,
leaving nothing but ashes and bloodshed in their wake. "If it is a
devil you seek, then it is a devil you shall have!" This terrifying
tale of bewitchery features more than two dozen of Brom's haunting
paintings, fully immersing readers in this wild and unforgiving
world.
Modern dating is dead.
Finding a human connection online has become impossible. Enter Liv: a
dating app that matches people with dead bodies. Somehow, it has taken
the world by storm. Millions of users are convinced that life with a
corpse presents a better alternative to conventional relationships.
Flailing against Liv’s popularity, venture capital superstar Tom
Williamson—whose company is funding Liv—isn’t buying it. Mostly because
dating an embalmed cadaver, let alone monetizing it, is obscene.
Believing that Liv is the future, Auden White, the insufferable
“visionary” behind the app begins demanding more and more funding,
quickly making enemies with Tom.
It's no secret that Tom struggles with people, dead or alive, but when
he has a chance meeting with the woman who knows Auden (and his
secrets) best, Mara Reed, he realizes everything is about to change for
all three of them.
With Liv’s userbase growing by the day, the need for cadavers rapidly
increases. Humanity might not want to connect with other living,
breathing people anymore, but they do want to connect with something.
What could go wrong?
Julie
Chan didn't mean to steal her identical twin's life. She meant to call
the police when she found the body. She meant to dial 911.
Except when she unlocked Chloe's phone to make that call, she also
gained access to her estranged sister's sponsorship deals, her
followers, her wealth, her whole life.
And Julie's not prepared to give it back. Not yet. So it's goodbye
Julie, love Chloe x
Now all Julie has to do is keep her head down and blend in with the
beautiful Belladonnas, the tribe of influencers who had welcomed Chloe
in to their inner circle before she died.
Julie's going to breathe, detox, workout. Curate each post. Filter each
picture. Spend whole days filming unboxing videos.
But someone out there knows that even identical twins have their
differences...

2017. One night in 1980, a man becomes a monster. Travis Stillwell
spends his nights searching out women in honky-tonk bars on the
back roads of Texas. What he does with them doesn't make him proud:
it just quiets the demons for a little while. But when he crosses
paths with one particular mysterious pale-skinned girl, he wakes up
weak and bloodied, with no memory of the night before. Finding
refuge at a small motel, Travis develops feelings for the owner,
Annabelle, but at night he fights a horrible transformation and his
need to feed. Half a state away, a grizzled Texas Ranger is hunting
Travis for his past misdeeds, but what he finds will lead him to a
revelation far more monstrous. A man of the law, he'll have to
decide how far into the darkness he'll go for the sake of justice.
