These thirteen stories are our own lives, inside out. A boy's
summer romance doesn't end in that good kind of heartbreak, but in
blood. A girl on a fishing trip makes a friend in the woods who's
exactly what she needs, except then that friend follows her back to
the city. A father hears a voice through his baby monitor that
shouldn't be possible, but now he can't stop listening. A woman
finds out that the shipwreck wasn't the disaster, but who she's
shipwrecked with. A big brother learns just what he will, and
won't, trade for one night of sleep. From prison guards making
unholy alliances to snake-oil men in the Old West doling out
justice, these stories carve down into the body of the mind, into
our most base fears and certainties, and there's no anesthetic.
Turn the light on if you want, but that just makes for more
shadows.
Jade Daniels faces down a brutal serial killer in his pulse-punding
tribute to the golden era of horror cinema and Friday the 13th from
the New York Times-bestselling, multiple-award winning Jones. Four
years after her tumultuous senior year, Jade Daniels is released
from prison right before Christmas when her conviction is
overturned. But life beyond bars takes a dangerous turn as soon as
she returns to Proofrock. Convicted Serial Killer, Dark Mill South,
seeking revenge for thirty-eight Dakota men hanged in 1862, escapes
from his prison transfer due to a blizzard, just outside of
Proofrock, Idaho. Dark Mill South's Reunion Tour began on December
12th, 2019, a Thursday. Thirty-six hours and twenty bodies later,
on Friday the 13th, it would be over. Don't Fear the Reaper is the
page-turning sequel to My Heart Is a Chainsaw from New York Times
bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones.
'An absolute gem of a book' Alastair Humphreys First published in
1926, The Gentle Art of Tramping is as relevant now as then.
Tramping is an approach: to nature, to humankind, to nations, to
beauty, to life itself. This lost classic is a breath of fresh air
for world-weary souls. It is a gentle art; know how to tramp and
you know how to live. Know how to meet your fellow wanderer, how to
be passive to the beauty of nature and how to be active to its
wildness and its rigour. The adventure is not the getting there,
it's the 'on-the-way'. It is not the expected, it is the surprise.
The Jordan Peele of horror fiction turns his eye to classic slasher
films: Jade is one class away from graduating high-school, but
that's one class she keeps failing local history. Dragged down by
her past, her father and being an outsider, she's composing her
epic essay series to save her high-school diploma. Jade's topic?
The unifying theory of slasher films. In her rapidly gentrifying
rural lake town, Jade sees the pattern in recent events that only
her encyclopedic knowledge of horror cinema could have prepared her
for. And with the arrival of the Final Girl, Letha Mondragon, she's
convinced an irreversible sequence of events has been set into
motion. As tourists start to go missing, and the tension grows
between her community and the celebrity newcomers building their
mansions the other side of the Indian Lake, Jade prepares for the
killer to rise. She dives deep into the town's history, the tragic
deaths than occurred at camp years ago, the missing tourists no one
is even sure exist, and the murders starting to happen, searching
for the answer. As the small and peaceful town heads towards
catastrophe, it all must come to a head on 4th July, when the town
all gathers on the water, where luxury yachts compete with canoes
and inflatables, and the final showdown between rich and poor, past
and present, townsfolk and celebrities slasher and Final Girl.
Becoming Noise Music tells the story of noise music in its first 50
years, using a focus on the music's sound and aesthetics to do so.
Part One focuses on the emergence and stabilization of noise music
across the 1980s and 1990s, whilst Part Two explores noise in the
twenty-first century. Each chapter contextualizes - tells the story
- of the music under discussion before describing and interpreting
its sound and aesthetic. Stephen Graham uses the idea of 'becoming'
to capture the unresolved 'dialectical' tension between 'noise'
disorder and 'musical' order in the music itself; the experiences
listeners often have in response; and the overarching 'story' or
'becoming' of the genre that has taken place in this first fifty or
so years. The book therefore doubles up on becoming: it is about
both the becoming it identifies in, and the larger, genre-making
process of the becoming of, noise music. On the latter count, it is
the first scholarly book to focus in such depth and breadth on the
sound and story of noise music, as opposed to contextual questions
of politics, history or sociology. Relevant to both musicology and
noise audiences, Becoming Noise Music investigates a vital but
analytically underexplored area of avant-garde musical practice.

this atmospheric gothic literary horror. Ten years ago, four young
men shot some elk then went on with their lives. It happens every
year; it's been happening forever; it's the way it's always been.
But this time it's different. Ten years after that fateful hunt,
these men are being stalked themselves. Soaked with a powerful
gothic atmosphere, the endless expanses of the landscape press down
on these men - and their children - as the ferocious spirit comes
for them one at a time. The Only Good Indians, charts Nature's
revenge on a lost generation that maybe never had a chance. Cleaved
to their heritage, these parents, husbands, sons and Indians, men
live on the fringes of a society that has rejected them, refusing
to challenge their exile to limbo.
