College-professor-cum-zombie Jack Barnes is a different breed of
undead--he can think. In fact, he can even write. And the story he
has to tell is a truly disturbing--yet strangely
heartwarming--one.
Convinced he'll bring about a peaceful coexistence between
zombies and humans if he can demonstrate his unique condition to
Howard Stein, the man responsible for the zombie virus, Barnes sets
off on a grueling cross-country journey to meet his maker. Along
the way he recruits a small army of "super" zombies that will stop
at nothing to reach their goal. There's Guts, the dreadlocked boy
who can run like the wind; Joan, the matronly nurse adept at
reattaching decaying appendages; Annie, the young girl with a
fierce quick-draw; and Ros, who can actually speak. United they
embark on an epic quest to attain what all men, women--and,
apparently, zombies--yearn for: equality.
Brains is a blood-soaked, darkly humorous story that will have
readers rooting for Barnes and his zombie posse to the very
end.
A "New York Times" Notable Book of the Year Colette and Alison are
unlikely cohorts: one a shy, drab beanpole of an assistant, the
other a charismatic, corpulent psychic whose connection to the
spiritual world torments her. When they meet at a fair, Alison
invites Colette at once to join her on the road as her personal
assistant and companion. Troubles spiral out of control when the
pair moves to a suburban wasteland in what was once the English
countryside. It is not long before the place beyond black threatens
to uproot their lives forever. This is Hilary Mantel at her
finest--insightful, darkly comic, unorthodox, and thrilling to
read.
Peter V. Brett, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Demon Cycle,
begins a brand new epic fantasy adventure set in his beloved world,
following a new generation of heroes. Fifteen years have passed
since the demons were destroyed. Heroes have become legend, and
those that remain live in their shadows. Olive, Princess of Hollow,
has her entire life planned out-a steady march toward succession.
But the more her mother writes the script, the more Olive rails
against playing the parts she is assigned. Darin is the son of the
man people say saved the world. Everyone expects greatness from
Darin, but the only thing he's ever been great at is hiding. But
now it's time to fight the darkness. When Olive and Darin step
across the wards one night, they learn that the demons are not all
gone, and those that remain hunger for revenge. Are Darin and Olive
ready to be heroes?
What if your soulmate could only ever be the love of your afterlife?
The first time Emery's heart stops, she is only five years old...
Emery is born with a heart condition that means her heart could quite
literally stop at any moment. The people around her know what to do -
if they act quickly enough there will be no lasting damage, and Emery's
heart can be restarted. But when this happens, she is briefly
technically dead.
Each time Emery's heart stops, she meets Nick. His purpose is to help
people adjust to the fact that they are dead, to help them say goodbye,
before they move on entirely. He does not usually meet people more than
once - but with Emery, he is able to make a connection, and he finds
himself drawn to her.
As Emery's life progresses, and she goes through ups and downs, she
finds that a part of her is longing for those moments when her heart
will stop - so that she can see Nick again.
This is the story of two fated lovers who long for each other, but are
destined never to share more than a few fleeting moments - because if
they were to be together, it would mean the end of Emery's life.
Chilling supernatural horror combining Japanese folklore with WW2
historical fiction from a multiple award-winning author. As World
War II rages on, the threat has come to the home front. In a remote
corner of Idaho, Meiko Briggs and her daughter, Aiko, are desperate
to return home. Following Meiko's husband's enlistment as an air
force pilot in the Pacific months prior, Meiko and Aiko were taken
from their home in Seattle and sent to one of the internment camps
in the Midwest. It didn't matter that Aiko was American-born: They
were Japanese, and therefore considered a threat by the American
government. Mother and daughter attempt to hold on to elements of
their old life in the camp when a mysterious disease begins to
spread among those interned. What starts as a minor cold quickly
becomes spontaneous fits of violence and aggression, even death.
And when a disconcerting team of doctors arrive, nearly more
threatening than the illness itself, Meiko and her daughter team up
with a newspaper reporter and widowed missionary to investigate,
and it becomes clear to them that something more sinister is afoot:
a demon from the stories of Meiko's childhood, hell-bent on
infiltrating their already strange world. Inspired by the Japanese
yokai and the jorogumo spider demon, THE FERVOR explores a
supernatural threat beyond what anyone saw coming: the danger of
demonization, a mysterious contagion, and the search to stop its
spread before it's too late.

minds comes Tales from the Horadric Library, a short story
collection exploring the deepest, darkest corners of Sanctuary.
While the Eternal Conflict rages forever on, horror and
superstition of a purely Sanctuary variety still prey on the hearts

any knowledge that could prove useful, whether it's a local legend,

vaults are open. Direct from the Diablo development team and
horror's preeminent minds comes Tales from the Horadric Library, a
short story collection exploring the deepest, darkest corners of
Sanctuary.
Available for the first time in trade paperback, the first of five
volumes collecting the complete fiction of William Hope Hodgson, an
influential early twentieth-century author of science fiction,
horror, and the fantastic. William Hope Hodgson was, like his
contemporaries Algernon Blackwood and Arthur Machen, one of the
most important, prolific, and influential fantasists of the early
twentieth century. His dark and unsettling short stories and novels
were shaped in large part by personal experience (a professional
merchant mariner for much of his life, many of Hodgson's tales are
set at sea), and his work evokes a disturbing sense of the
amorphous and horrific unknown. While his nautical adventure
fiction was very popular during his lifetime, the supernatural and
cosmic horror he is most remembered for only became well known
after his death, mainly due to the efforts of writers like H. P.
Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith, who often praised his work and
cited it as an influence on their own. By the later half of the
twentieth century, it was only his weird fiction that remained in
print, and his vast catalog of non-supernatural stories was
extremely hard to find. Night Shade Books's five-volume series
presents all of Hodgson's unique and timeless fiction. Each volume
contains one of Hodgson's novels, along with a selection of
thematically-linked short fiction, including a number of works
reprinted for the first time since their original publication. The
first of the five-volume set, The Boats of the "Glen Carrig" and
Other Nautical Adventures, collects all of Hodgson's series
nautical fiction, including the Sargasso Sea Story cycle. The
Complete Fiction of William Hope Hodgson is published by Night
Shade Books in the following volumes: The Boats of the "Glen
Carrig" and Other Nautical Adventures The House on the Borderland
and Other Mysterious Places The Ghost Pirates and Other Revenants
of the Sea The Night Land and Other Romances The Dream of X and
Other Fantastic Visions
