"Thrilling . . . one of the best Stephen King novels not written by
the master himself. . . . The setup promises furious action, and
Percy delivers, like [Richard] Matheson, like King. . . An awfully
impressive literary performance."--New York Times Book Review
"Masterful crafting . . . a horror story for our
times."--Minneapolis Star Tribune The Dark Net is real. An
anonymous and often criminal arena that exists in the secret far
reaches of the Web, some use it to manage Bitcoins, pirate movies
and music, or traffic in drugs and stolen goods. And now, an
ancient darkness is gathering there as well. This force is
threatening to spread virally into the real world unless it can be
stopped by members of a ragtag crew, including a twelve-year-old
who has been fitted with a high-tech visual prosthetic to combat
her blindness; a technophobic journalist; a one-time child
evangelist with an arsenal in his basement; and a hacker who
believes himself a soldier of the Internet. Set in present-day
Portland, The Dark Net is a cracked-mirror version of the digital
nightmare we already live in, a timely and wildly imaginative
techno-thriller about the evil that lurks in real and virtual
spaces, and the power of a united few to fight back. "This is
horror literature's bebop, bold, smart, confident in its capacity
to redefine its genre from the ground up. Read this book, but take
a firm grip on your hat before you start."--Peter Straub
The winter solstice is celebrated as a time of joy around the
world—yet the long nights also conjure a darker tradition of
ghouls, hauntings, and visitations. This anthology of all-new
stories invites you to huddle around the fire and revel in the
unholy, the dangerous, the horrific aspects of a time when families
and friends come together—for better and for worse. From the
eerie Austrian Schnabelperchten to the skeletal Welsh Mari Lwyd, by
way of ravenous golems, uncanny neighbors, and unwelcome visitors,
Christmas and Other Horrors captures the heart and horror of the
festive season. Because the weather outside is frightful, but the
fire inside is hungry... Featuring stories from: Nadia Bulkin Terry

"A werewolf epic. Can't stop thinking about it."--Stephen King
They live among us.
They are our neighbors, our mothers, our lovers.
They change.
When government agents kick down Claire Forrester's front door and
murder her parents, Claire realizes just how different she is.
Patrick Gamble was nothing special until the day he got on a plane
and hours later stepped off it, the only passenger left alive, a
hero.
Chase Williams has sworn to protect the people of the United States
from the menace in their midst, but he is becoming the very thing
he has promised to destroy.
So far, the threat has been controlled by laws and violence and
drugs. But the night of the red moon is coming, when an
unrecognizable world will emerge...and the battle for humanity will
begin.

'Totally engrossing' - STEPHEN KING on The Ninth Metal THE FINAL
BOOK IN PERCY'S CRITICALLY CLAIMED COMET CYCLE SERIES! The comet,
Cain, came from beyond our solar system, its debris containing
elements unknown. Now, in the isolated region of Fairbanks, Alaska,
the skies shift and stretch as an interstellar dust cloud seeds the
atmosphere. When a plane shudders its way through pulpy, swirling,
bruise-shaped clouds, lit with sudden cracks of lightning, the sky
opens and the aircraft vanishes...but only for a minute. When the
flight lands, everyone on board and in the community will be
changed forever. Chuck Bridges, a local DJ and conspiracy theorist,
was on board and later reported dead to his family, but not before
proclaiming that something inside the clouds was speaking to him.
Now his son, Theo, must chase down answers to the mystery his
father unlocked. He'll find himself at odds with Sophie Chen, an
agent with a shadowy employer desperate to secure the black box
from the airplane, as well as Rolf Wagner, a widowed sheriff
investigating a series of increasingly strange and unsettling
reports. And then there is Joanna Straub, a contractor
reconstructing a top-secret government lab active during WWII and
shuttered deep within the nearby White Mountains. The answer to the
comet's origin is about to be unveiled, and its impact on Earth is
more treacherous and sublime than humanity could imagine. 'Take one
part dystopia, one part sci-fi, two parts apocalypse, then ride
them roughshod through a bleak and bloody western, and it still
wouldn't get close to what Ben Percy does here, which is blow open
the core of humanity's dark heart.' - Marlon James, Booker
Prize-winning author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf, on The Ninth Metal
'The Stephen King of science fiction.' - Margaret Stohl, New York
Times bestselling author, on The Ninth Metal 'Audacious and
intelligent and exactly what I was dying to read.' - Victor
LaValle, author of The Changeling, on The Ninth Metal 'This
standout combination of science and psychology is sure to wow SF
fans.' Publishers Weekly (starred review)
'Debris from a comet drops a fabulously valuable new metal . . .
turning it into a bloody, brawling boomtown. Great characters, fine
writing, totally engrossing' - International bestselling author
Stephen King on The Ninth Metal It began with a comet. They called
it Cain, a wandering star that passed by Earth, illuminating the
night with a swampy green light and twinning the sky by day with
two suns. A year later, Earth spun through the debris field the
comet left behind. Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of meteors
plummeted into the atmosphere, destroying swaths of electrical
grids, leaving shores of beaches filled with deceased sea life, and
setting acres of land ablaze. It was then, they say, that the sky
fell. It was then that Jack lost Mia. Five years after the
disappearance of his daughter, Jack has fallen. Once an
accomplished professor of botany, he's now a shell of a man who has
all but withdrawn from life. Nora, his ex-wife, has thrown herself
into her investigative work. Separately, they have each bandaged
over the hole Mia left behind. Just as Jack is uncovering a new
form of deadly parasitic fungus in his lab, Nora is assigned to
investigate the cases of ritualistic murders dotting Seattle. The
rituals consist of etchings - crosshatches are carved into bodies
and eyes are scooped out of their sockets. The attackers appear to
be possessed. It only takes a moment - for a sickness to infect,
for a person to be killed, for a child to be lost. When Nora
enlists Jack to identify the cause of this string of vicious
deaths, Jack is quick to help. Together, they fight to keep their
moments - the unexpected laughter, the extraordinary discoveries,
the chance that Mia could come back home - but they find that what
they're up against defies all logic, and what they have to do to
save the world will change every life forever. PRAISE FOR THE COMET
CYCLE 'When Benjamin Percy publishes a novel, I have got to read
that novel. The Ninth Metal continues his streak of thrilling,
incisive genre bending goodness. Audacious and intelligent and
exactly what I was dying to read' Victor LaValle, author of The
Changeling on The Ninth Metal 'Whether you choose to think of him
as the Elmore Leonard of rural Minnesota or the Stephen King of
Science Fiction, Percy-with his extraordinary and unrelenting
eye-dishes up humanity like some kind of otherworldly blue plate
special, at once deeply familiar and wildly new' Margaret Stohl,
No. 1 New York Times Bestselling Author on The Ninth Metal 'Take
one part dystopia, one part sci-fi, two parts apocalypse, then ride
them roughshod through a bleak and bloody western, and it still
wouldn't get close to what Ben Percy does here, which is blow open
the core of humanity's dark heart' Marlon James, Booker Prize
winning author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf on The Ninth Metal
'Masterful . . . Combines a missing-person case, romantic
reconciliation, and a riveting sci-fi what-if . . . A thoroughly
satisfying near-future glimpse of both disaster and salvation'
Publishers Weekly 'Terrifying, entertaining, and thought-provoking.
. . something for everyone, science fiction fans and mystery fans
alike' Kirkus Reviews
This Side of the Divide: New Lore of the American West is the
second entry in the Divide anthology series attempting to capture
the newness, vastness, territoriality, and sense of transience
alive in the American West. In this collection legends, myths,
tales, omens, folk horror, and science fiction explore the
fantastical, the apocalyptic, the bizarre, the unknown, and the
apocryphal origins and conclusions of life on the occidental side
of the Continental Divide. In this collection, after the ‘what
is’ comes the ‘what will be’, as acclaimed authors and
emerging voices weave tales that push the boundaries of
imagination: Ken Liu takes us to the frontiers of America and China
in a stark tale of perseverance; Kate Bernheimer immerses us in the
fairytale lands of modern celebrity; Benjamin Percy takes us
hunting for deer and connection in eastern Oregon; Yuri Herrera
grants us insight on our future overlords; Tessa Fontaine places us
in-between with a monster and a question; Dominique Dickey chases
familiar ghosts; and Willy Vlautin takes us on the wild ride that
is a winning streak. Accompanied by a foreword from This Side of
the Divide alum, and author of The Forbidden City, Vanessa Hua,
these twenty-five pieces of new lore excavate the beauty, the
uncertainty, the longing, the bitter interactions and stark truths;
the strong people and vivid places that have shaped, and will
continue to shape the West until the end of days.
