Following the highly acclaimed Nocturnes and Night Music, Night & Day is filled with eerie surprises and dark delights. Night & Day takes us from the dusty shelves of an uncanny library filled with fictional characters to a bunker deep beneath the earth where scientists seek revenge on old Nazis, from an English marsh haunted by a mother and her son to a country house where a grieving widower finds comfort in a most unlikely source. Concluding with the author's account of how an obscure horror film brought him closer to his lost father, and how nostalgia can help through our hardest times, this is a collection that will move, entertain, and keep you reading late into the night.
Summer, 1976. Jesse and his brother, Edgar, are on the road in
search of victims. They're rovers, nearly indestructible nocturnal
beings who must consume human blood in order to survive. For
seventy years they've lurked on the fringes of society, roaming
from town to town, dingy motel to dingy motel, stalking the
transients, addicts, and prostitutes they feed on. This hard-boiled
supernatural hell ride kicks off when the brothers encounter a
young woman who disrupts their grim routine, forcing Jesse to
confront his past and plunging his present into deadly chaos as he
finds himself scrambling to save her life. The story plays out
through the eyes of the brothers, a grieving father searching for
his son's murderer, and a violent gang of rover bikers, coming to a
shattering conclusion in Las Vegas on the eve of America's
Bicentennial. Gripping, relentless, and ferocious, Rovers
demonstrates once again why Richard Lange has been hailed as an
"expert writer, his prose exact, his narrative tightly controlled"
(Steph Cha, Los Angeles Times).

From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T.
Kingfisher comes a dark retelling of the Brothers Grimm's Goose Girl,
rife with secrets, murder, and forbidden magic.
Perfect for fans of Naomi Novic, Alix E. Harrow and Nettle & Bone.
Cordelia knows her mother is unusual. Their house doesn't have any
doors between rooms―there are no secrets in this house!―Cordelia isn't
allowed to have a single friend. Unless you count Falada, her mother's
beautiful white horse. The only time Cordelia feels truly free is on
her daily rides with him.
But more than a few quirks set her mother apart. Other parents can't
force their daughters to be silent and motionless―obedient―for hours or
days on end. Other mothers aren't . . . sorcerers.
A nerd must fight powerful spirits and aliens all vying for the secret
power of his “family jewel,” so who better to fight alongside him than
his high school crush and a spirit granny?!
Momo Ayase and Okarun are on opposite sides of the paranormal spectrum
regarding what they’ll believe in and what they won’t. Their quest to
prove each other wrong leads them down a path of secret crushes and
paranormal battles they’ll have to participate in to believe!
As Momo and the others fight desperately against the alien invaders, a
recovering Okarun finally comes to and is able to join them.
Unfortunately for him, it’s Tuesday, and that means one thing—the Evil
Eye wants to fight! Thankfully, the invaders quickly capture the Evil
Eye’s attention when they get in the way of his match, and with his
help, the team begins to crush the enemy. But suddenly, Vamola’s suit
is snatched by an octopus-shaped invader, landing the team in dire
straits!
