A mariner inherits a skull that screams incessantly along with the
roar of the sea; a phantom hare stalks the moors to deliver justice
for a crime long dead; a man witnesses a murder in the woods near
St. Ives, only to wonder whether it was he himself who committed
the crime. Offering a bounty of lost or forgotten strange and
Gothic tales set in Cornwall, Cornish Horrors explores the rich
folklore and traditions of the region in a journey through mines,
local mythology, shipwrecks, seascapes, and the coming of the
railway and tourism. With stories by Gothic luminaries such as Bram
Stoker and Edgar Allan Poe, this new collection also features
chilling yarns of the haunted peninsula from a host of
underappreciated writers from the past two centuries.

Beginning with a story of an ex sex-worker drifting through a rural
town in South America, and ending with a young woman's sinister
wedding night, Nash writes across the complications of working
class women, rendering their desires with visceral prose and
psychologically dissecting the fundamental root that threads her
work: craving and the conflicts within.
For the child in all of us, a timeless illustrated story about connection and compromise brought to life with imagination, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Born a Crime
“But sooner or later your mother will find us,” Walter said, looking back at the house. “She always does.”
The boy’s eyes lit up again. He had an idea.
“Then this time we need to go where we’ve never gone before,” he said. “Into the uncut grass!”
In the tradition of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse comes a gorgeously illustrated fable about a young child’s journey into the world beyond the shadow of home, a magical landscape where he discovers the secrets of sharing, connection, and finding peace with the people we love. Infused with the author’s signature wit and imagination, in collaboration with visionary artist Sabina Hahn, it’s a tale for readers of all ages—to be read aloud or read alone.
