A collection of new and exclusive short stories inspired by the
Baba Yaga. Featuring Gwendolyn Kiste, Stephanie M. Wytovich,
Mercedes M. Yardley, Monique Snyman, Donna Lynch, Lisa Quigley, and
R. J. Joseph, with a foreword by Christina Henry. Deep in the dark
forest, in a cottage that spins on birds' legs behind a fence
topped with human skulls, lives the baba yaga. A guardian of the
water of life, she lives with her sisters and takes to the skies in
a giant mortar and pestle, creating tempests as she goes. Those who
come across the baba yaga may find help, or hinderance, or horror.
She is wild, she is woman, she is witch—and these are her tales.
Edited by Lindy Ryan, this collection brings together some of
today's leading voices of women-in-horror as they pay tribute to
the baba yaga, and go Into the Forest .

Some evil wants to live forever. Ten years ago a witch sacrificed
Britta Orchid's family and turned her into a werewolf. Selena
Stone's spell failed, and she was never seen again. Until now.
Officer Aaron Labaye has discovered Selena's remains in the house
where Britta's family died, and dragged Britta back to Louisiana to
aid the investigation, hoping her past will break the case. Britta
has a hard time resisting the handsome rookie, especially when he
shows her a new drawing by her murdered little brother: Britta in
her wolf-form. As an unseen hand sets events in motion, Britta has
to help Labaye dig into the murders old and new. The bloodthirsty
ghost of her brother, a jealous member from her pack, and a former
friend with a serious prejudice against wolves all stand to stop
Britta as she fights to finally get the truth about that night ten
years ago. But, as she looks harder than ever into her own dark
past, Britta will confront more than just her own demons as she
fights for peace for herself and for her family. She can't hide
anymore, but must find her place in a world she's avoided--and
discover what it truly means to be a wolf.
The Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the Constitution of the United
States guarantee the right against self-incrimination, the right to
remain silent, and the right to counsel. A crime wave swept
California in the late 1970s. Several young girls were abducted,
raped, and murdered. Michael Dee Mattson was convicted of these
crimes and sentenced to death. Law clerk by day, family man by
night. In 1982, Jim Potts-a brilliant, idealistic, African American
law student-is honored when one of his professors recruits him to
assist in writing a death penalty appeal on behalf of a serial
killer. Potts discovers a loophole in the case that had somehow
been overlooked. One that could not only get Mattson off death row,
but once presented to the Supreme Court of California, could
release him to rape and murder again. When Potts confides in his
pregnant wife, she says if Mattson goes free, their marriage is
over. But if Potts quits the case, or withholds information, he
violates his duty to client and Constitution and risks his career
before it even begins. A moral dilemma with no good way out. To
avoid losing his family and releasing pure evil back into the
world, Potts must be smarter than his options. He must find a way
to keep his family together, fulfill his duties, and keep Mattson
behind bars. But can he?
Data is powerful. It separates leaders from laggards and it drives
business disruption, transformation, and reinvention. Today's most
progressive companies are using the power of data to propel their
industries into new areas of innovation, specialization, and
optimization. The horsepower of new tools and technologies have
provided more opportunities than ever to harness, integrate, and
interact with massive amounts of disparate data for business
insights and value - something that will only continue in the era
of the Internet of Things. And, as a new breed of tech-savvy and
digitally native knowledge workers rise to the ranks of data
scientist and visual analyst, the needs and demands of the people
working with data are changing, too. The world of data is changing
fast. And, it's becoming more visual. Visual insights are becoming
increasingly dominant in information management, and with the
reinvigorated role of data visualization, this imperative is a
driving force to creating a visual culture of data discovery. The
traditional standards of data visualizations are making way for
richer, more robust and more advanced visualizations and new ways
of seeing and interacting with data. However, while data
visualization is a critical tool to exploring and understanding
bigger and more diverse and dynamic data, by understanding and
embracing our human hardwiring for visual communication and
storytelling and properly incorporating key design principles and
evolving best practices, we take the next step forward to transform
data visualizations from tools into unique visual information
assets.
This is the first end-to-end, full-color guide to telling powerful,
actionable data stories using Tableau, the world's #1 visualization
software. Renowned expert Lindy Ryan shows you how to communicate
the full business implications of your data analyses by combining
Tableau's remarkable capabilities with a deep understanding of
storytelling and design. Each chapter illuminates key aspects of
design practice and data visualization, and guides you step-by-step
through applying them in Tableau. Ryan demonstrates how "data
stories" resemble and differ from traditional storytelling, and
helps you use Tableau to analyze, visualize, and communicate
insights that are meaningful to any stakeholder, in any medium.
Information Visualization in Tableau presents exercises that give
you hands-on practice with the most up-to-date capabilities
available through Tableau 10 and the full Tableau software
ecosystem. Ryan's classroom-tested exercises won't just help you
master the software: they'll show you to craft data stories that
inspire action. Coverage includes: The visual data storytelling
paradigm: moving beyond static charts to powerful visualizations
that combine narrative with interactive graphics How to think like
a data scientist, a storyteller, and a designer -- all in the same
project Data storytelling case studies: the good, the bad, and the
ugly Shaping data stories: blending data science, genre, and visual
design Seven best practices for visual data storytelling -- and
common pitfalls to avoid Tricks and hacks you can use with any
toolset, not just Tableau

Eight chilling tales to read under the Cold Moon. A tinker's son
acquires a cursed soul. A dying woman is haunted by her own
reflection. An uninvited presence haunts a Christmas seance. A
festive holiday turns macabre. Despite the twinkling lights and
steaming cocoa, the end of the year is the darkest time of the
year-a season of short days, long nights, and cold skies. In this
special anniversary anthology, the authors of Black Spot Books mix
Ye Olde Yuletide hauntings with modern-day holiday horrors to weave
a chilling new collection of dark winter tales. From frozen forests
stalked by eerie Christmas ghosts to rotting gifts of winter
malice, the spirits of Christmas come home for the holidays in the
Dead of Winter.

way to celebrate Halloween.
