'I devoured it.' Erin Kelly 'An exhilarating voice' Adele Parks
'Unbelievably tense and twisty.' Laura Marshall Lucky Rachel
Edwards The more she wins, the more she loses... 'Absorbing,
unsettling, unflinching. I've been thinking about it for days and
I'll be recommending it to everyone.' Caz Frear, author of Sweet
Little Lies Someone is watching Etta. Footsteps in the night, the
security light coming on at strange hours ... is it all just her
curtain-twitching neighbours, who seem to monitor her every move?
Or is her little online problem making her paranoid? Because Etta
needs to win big. She joined a gambling website to get a bit of
cash, hoping to convince her boyfriend Ola that they can afford to
get married. And she was so good at it ... until she wasn't.
Luckily, she's made a friend who hit the jackpot and if she plays
her cards right, he could lend her the money to win everything
back. Easy. So why does she feel so afraid?
France's 'murder of the century' remains also the most violent non-war crime by women against women on record. The Papin sisters' killing and mutilation of their mistresses in 1933 has provoked reproduction and speculation ever since, by such prominent cultural figures as Simone de Beauvoir, Jacques Lacan, and Claude Chabrol. This book offers an overview of these reproductions and draws some provocative conclusions from them.

These folk tales reflect the wild and secret character of between
two countries and two worlds. The book other magical characters
such as the Netherwitton worm who guards a secret well and the
Hedley Kow that plays audacious tricks on humans. Accompanying
these, there is the sound of human feet; saints seek refuge,
ancient kings fight for land and salvation, and border folk pit
themselves against one another with both wit and sword. Illustrated
with thirty beautiful and evocative drawings by Rachel Edwards,
this panoply of characters, together with ghosts, witches and the
land itself, is brought to life by professional storyteller Malcolm
Green.
A teenage girl clashes with her new stepmother in this debut

Laura Marshall, author of Friend Request 'The twists and turns left
me reeling' Eleanor Wasserberg, author of Foxlowe I knew she was
trouble from the moment I saw her. I felt it as she stood in the
doorway that day: disaster. Not just because she was so different,
that skin and that hair, as different from me as it's possible to
be. There was something wrong about her. Wrong for us. It was never
going to work. Now she is dead and only I am left to love him. She
is dead, and it's all my fault.

The Papin sisters' killing and mutilation of their mistresses in 1933 has provoked reproduction and speculation ever since, by such prominent cultural figures as Simone de Beauvoir, Jacques Lacan, and Claude Chabrol.

New discoveries and a fresh perspective, with unprecedented access
to Richey's personal archive On 1 February 1995, Richey Edwards,
guitarist of the Manic Street Preachers, went missing at the age of
27. On the eve of a promotional trip to America, he vanished from
his London hotel room, his car later discovered near the Severn
Bridge, a notorious suicide spot. Over two decades later, Richey's
disappearance remains one of the most moving, mysterious and
unresolved episodes in recent pop culture history. For those with a
basic grasp of the facts, Richey's suicide seems obvious and
undeniable. However, a closer investigation of his actions in the
weeks and months before his disappearance just don't add up, and
until now few have dared to ask the important questions. Withdrawn
Traces is the first book written with the co-operation of the
Edwards family, testimony from Richey's closest friends and
unprecedented and exclusive access to Richey's personal archive. In
a compelling real-time narrative, the authors examine fresh
evidence, uncover overlooked details, profile Richey's state of
mind, and brings us closer than ever before to the truth.
