New York Times bestselling authors Lisi Harrison and Daniel Kraus
deliver a slightly scary, extremely addictive contemporary
middle-grade series—perfect for fans of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps
and Ann M. Martin’s The Babysitters Club. It’s been a
month since the Graveyard Girls—Gemma, Whisper, Sophie, Frannie,
and Zuzu—discovered Silas Hoke’s empty grave. A month, and no
answers. That changes when messages from the other side start to
creep up on the Graveyard Girls. Gemma’s good-luck charm. The
skull in Whisper’s spilled milk. Sophie’s vanishing phone.
Frannie’s theater curse. And Zuzu’s possessed Jōurnal. Who is
trying to reach them . . . and why? The good news: There
might be one person with some answers. The bad news: She’s a
mortician . . . with a deadly secret. Speaking of bad news,
straight-A Sophie is quickly sliding down the scale to becoming a
B-flat friend. She is spending way more time hanging out with
“Danger Me” and way less time with the Graveyard Girls and her
schoolwork. Will her scary story be enough to win back her pals, or
will her picture-perfect life become the ultimate photo bomb?

electrocution of the town’s most infamous killer, Silas Hoke, and
the town is abuzz. When a mysterious text message leads the girls

In a future much nearer than you think, where scientific
experimentation is exploited for commercial profit, unwisely
under-supervised cutting-edge technology creates a menace that
threatens the very fabric of human existence. Wrath is the story of
a lab rat instilled with human genes whose supersized intelligence
helps him to engineer his escape into the world outside the lab: a
world vastly ill-equipped to deal with the menace he represents.
Modified through advances that have boosted his awareness of
humankind's cruelty in the name of science, and endowed with a
rat's natural proclivity to procreate regularly, Sammy has the
potential to sire a rodent army capable of viciously overwhelming
the human race.

The Martian meets 127 Hours in this "powerfully humane" (Owen King,
New York Times bestselling author) and scientifically accurate
thriller about a scuba diver who's been swallowed by an
eighty-foot, sixty-ton sperm whale and has only one hour to escape
before his oxygen runs out. Jay Gardiner has given himself a fool's
errand--to find the remains of his deceased father in the Pacific
Ocean off the coast of Monastery Beach. He knows it's a long shot,
but Jay feels it's the only way for him to lift the weight of guilt
he has carried since his dad's death by suicide the previous year.
The dive begins well enough, but the sudden appearance of a giant
squid puts Jay in very real jeopardy, made infinitely worse by the
arrival of a sperm whale looking to feed. Suddenly, Jay is caught
in the squid's tentacles and drawn into the whale's mouth where he
is pulled into the first of its four stomachs. He quickly realizes
he has only one hour before his oxygen tanks run out--one hour to
defeat his demons and escape the belly of a whale. Suspenseful and
cinematic, Whalefall is an "astoundingly great" (Gillian Flynn, New
York Times bestselling author) thriller about a young man who has
given up on life...only to find a reason to live in the most
dangerous and unlikely of places.

The growth of Blockchain technology presents a number of legal
questions for lawyers, regulators and industry participants alike.
This book identifies the legal challenges posed by
cryptocurrencies, smart contracts and other applications of
Blockchain, questioning whether these challenges can be addressed
within the current legal system, or whether significant changes are
required. Chapters assess how Blockchain's many applications will
affect different areas of law, including contract, criminal,
financial and private international law. Contributors analyse how
these fields of law may need to adapt to accommodate Blockchain
technology, proposing possible solutions and ways forward. Several
chapters are based on the Swiss legal framework as it allows market
participants the widest freedom to operate in Blockchains and
cryptocurrencies. Overall, this illuminating work highlights the
importance of creating a regulatory structure that will allow
Blockchain technologies to develop, whilst also ensuring they are
not abused. The conclusions of this book are however quite
reassuring, with contributing authors suggesting that although
disruptive, the challenges brought about by the 'Blockchain
revolution' can, for the most part, be effectively addressed within
the law as we know it. This book will be a valuable resource for
practising lawyers and academic researchers who are interested in
understanding more about how legal and regulatory systems will be
affected by the implementation of Blockchain technologies.

From Daniel Kraus, the New York Times bestselling co-author of
Academy Award-winning Best Picture The Shape of Water, comes Blood
Sugar, the blood-curdling story of a Halloween where trick-or-treat
becomes life or death... "A hard kick in the shins you never saw
coming... And wow, is it fun to read" - LitReactor Best of 2019
Pick WHEN TRICK OR TREAT BECOMES LIFE OR DEATH From the dark
imagination of bestselling novelist Daniel Kraus - co-author with
Guillermo del Toro of THE SHAPE OF WATER - comes a Halloween crime
story that's like nothing you've ever read before. In a ruined
house at the end of Yellow Street, an angry outcast hatches a
scheme to take revenge for all the wrongs he has suffered. With the
help of three alienated kids, he plans to hide razor blades,
poison, and broken glass in Halloween candy, maiming or killing
dozens of innocent children. But as the clock ticks closer to
sundown, will one of his helpers - an innocent himself, in his own
streetwise way - carry out or defeat the plan? Told from the
child's point of view, in a voice as unforgettable as A CLOCKWORK
ORANGE, Kraus' novel is at once frightening and emotional,
thought-provoking and laugh-out-loud funny. It'll make you rethink
your concepts of family, loyalty, and justice - and will leave you
double-checking the wrappers on your Halloween candy for the rest
of your days.

A work of horror genius from the Godfather of zombie film-making,
George A. Romero, and celebrated writer Daniel Kraus . . . It
begins with one body. A pair of medical examiners find themselves
facing a dead man who won't stay dead. It spreads quickly. In a
Midwestern trailer park, an African American teenage girl and a
Muslim immigrant battle newly-risen friends and family. On a US
aircraft carrier, living sailors hide from dead ones while a
fanatic preaches the gospel of a new religion of death. At a cable
news station, a surviving anchor keeps broadcasting, not knowing if
anyone is watching, while his undead colleagues try to devour him.
In DC, an autistic federal employee charts the outbreak, preserving
data for a future that may never come. Everywhere, people are
targeted by both the living and the dead. We think we know how this
story ends. We. Are. Wrong. 'A horror landmark, a work of gory
genius.' JOE HILL, author of NOS4A2 'A monumental achievement.'
ADAM NEVILL, author of The Ritual 'Like a lost Romero classic.'
CLIVE BARKER, author of Hellraiser 'A sprawling, timely, scary
epic.' PAUL TREMBLAY, author of The Cabin at the End of the World
It is 1962, and Elisa Esposito - mute her whole life, orphaned as a child - is struggling with her humdrum existence as a janitor working the graveyard shift at Baltimore's Occam Aerospace Research Center. Were it not for Zelda, a protective coworker, and Giles, her loving neighbor, she doesn't know how she'd make it through the day.
Then, one fateful night, she sees something she was never meant to see, the Center's most sensitive asset ever: an amphibious man, captured in the Amazon, to be studied for Cold War advancements. The creature is terrifying but also magnificent, capable of language and of understanding emotions... and Elisa can't keep away. Using sign language, the two learn to communicate. Soon, affection turns into love, and the creature becomes Elisa's sole reason to live. But outside forces are pressing in.
Richard Strickland, the obsessed soldier who tracked the asset through the Amazon, wants nothing more than to dissect it before the Russians get a chance to steal it. Elisa has no choice but to risk everything to save her beloved. With the help of Zelda and Giles, Elisa hatches a plan to break out the creature. But Strickland is on to them. And the Russians are, indeed, coming.
Developed from the ground up as a bold two-tiered release (one story interpreted by two artists in the independent mediums of literature and film) The Shape Of Water is unlike anything you've ever experienced.
The book that inspired the Netflix original series. In San
Bernardino, California, children are going missing. The townspeople
don't believe the rumours of trolls, but fifteen-year-old Jim Jnr
knows that they're a very real threat. At night, is anyone safe?
TROLLHUNTERS is a funny, gruesome and undeniably del Toro-esque
adventure perfect for teen readers and fans of Pan's Labyrinth.
