oldest, seventeen-year-old Dante, watches over the twelve-year-old
brother, Damian; Damian watches over the six-year-old brother,
Draydon; and their father watches out for all three of them. Then
one day, everything changes. Their father is killed in a mysterious
car wreck, and Draydon is injured severely enough to be sent to the
hospital.Draydon develops a bizarre fear of mirrors, and he starts
seeing things-"strange" things. Damian swears he saw a boy in the
road, right before the car accident, and a burn in the shape of a
handprint has appeared on his body. Dante, now the man of the Lantz
household, has his own problems: terrible nightmares that confuse
his sense of dream and reality. The Lantz boys' dilemma seems to
heighten with the arrival in town of a carnival. Abel Lantz has
been forbidden to see his grandsons, but he's old enough to
remember the last time the carnival came to town, over fifty-five
years before. Last time, something bad happened to all the
twelve-year-old children of town. Abel fears for his own family,
while the boys fear for each other. Is there a connection between
the carnival and the mysterious difficulties of the Lantz family?
And if there is, will Dante figure it out in time to save their
lives-and possibly their souls?
In her 1916 ghost story, Kerfol, Edith Wharton tells of Anne de Barrigan, a young woman convicted of murdering her jealous husband. The elderly lord was found on the stairs, apparently savaged by a pack of dogs, though there were no dogs - no live dogs - at Kerfol that day. In these remarkable intertwining stories, Deborah Noyes returns to the manor to tell de Barrigan's story through the sympathetic eyes of her servant girl. Four more tales slip forward in time, following characters haunted by the ghosts of Kerfol - the dead dogs; the sensual, uneasy relationships; and the bitter taste of revenge.

nasty things. Smashing melons. Squashing tomatoes. No way two dumb

From the New York Times bestselling author of My Dearest Darkest
comes another incredible sapphic horror. When four best friends
with a hunger for human flesh attend a music festival in the desert
they discover a murderous plot to expose and vilify the girls and
everyone like them. This summer is going to get gory. Five years
ago, the melting of arctic permafrost released a pathogen of
unknown origin into the atmosphere, causing a small percentage of
people to undergo a transformation that became known as the
Hollowing. Those impacted slowly became intolerant to normal food
and were only able to gain sustenance by consuming the flesh of
other human beings. Those who went without flesh quickly became
feral, turning on their friends and family. However, scientists
were able to create a synthetic version of human meat that would
satisfy the hunger of those impacted by the Hollowing. As a result,
humanity slowly began to return to normal, albeit with lasting fear
and distrust for the people they'd pejoratively dubbed ghouls.
Zoey, Celeste, Valeria, and Jasmine are all ghouls living in
Southern California. As a last hurrah before their graduation they
decided to attend a musical festival in the desert. They have a
cooler filled with hard seltzers and syn-flesh and are ready to
party. But on the first night of the festival Val goes feral, and
ends up killing and eating a boy. As other festival guests start
disappearing around them the girls soon discover someone is
drugging ghouls and making them feral. And if they can't figure out
how to stop it, and soon, no one at the festival is safe.

Tell the truth. Or face the consequences.
Pretty Little Liars meets Riverdale in this page-turning thriller.
One year ago, there was a party.
At the party, someone died.
Five teens all played a part and up until now, no one has told the truth.
But tonight, the five survivors arrive at an isolated mansion in the hills, expecting to compete in a contest with a $50,000 grand prize. Of course…some things are too good to be true. They were each so desperate for the prize, they didn’t question the odd, rather exclusive invitation until it was too late.
Instead, they realize they’ve been lured together by a person bent on revenge who wants to finally unravel the truth about what actually happened that deadly night, one year ago.
Five arrived, but not all can leave. Will the truth set them free?
Or will their lies destroy them all?
