A dark and compelling fantasy about sisterhood, impossible tasks
and the price of power, from award-winning author T. Kingfisher.
After years of seeing her sisters suffer at the hands of an abusive
prince, Marra-the shy, convent-raised, third-born daughter-has
finally realized that no one is coming to their rescue. No one,
except for Marra herself. Seeking help from a powerful gravewitch,
Marra is offered the tools to kill a prince-if she can complete
three impossible tasks. But, as is the way in tales of princes,
witches, and daughters, the impossible is only the beginning. On
her quest, Marra is joined by the gravewitch, a reluctant fairy
godmother, a strapping former knight, and a chicken possessed by a
demon. Together, the five of them intend to be the hand that closes
around the throat of the prince and frees Marra's family and their
kingdom from its tyrannous ruler at last.
From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T.
Kingfisher comes a dark retelling of the Brothers Grimm's Goose Girl,
rife with secrets, murder, and forbidden magic.
Perfect for fans of Naomi Novic, Alix E. Harrow and Nettle & Bone.
Cordelia knows her mother is unusual. Their house doesn't have any
doors between rooms―there are no secrets in this house!―Cordelia isn't
allowed to have a single friend. Unless you count Falada, her mother's
beautiful white horse. The only time Cordelia feels truly free is on
her daily rides with him.
But more than a few quirks set her mother apart. Other parents can't
force their daughters to be silent and motionless―obedient―for hours or
days on end. Other mothers aren't . . . sorcerers.
An instant USA Today & Indie bestseller From the Nebula and
Hugo award-winning author of The Twisted Ones, comes What Moves the
Dead, a gripping and atmospheric retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's
classic "The Fall of the House of Usher." When Alex Easton, a
retired soldier, receives word that their childhood friend Madeline
Usher is dying, they race to the ancestral home of the Ushers in
the remote countryside of Ruritania. What they find there is a
nightmare of fungal growths and possessed wildlife, surrounding a
dark, pulsing lake. Madeline sleepwalks and speaks in strange
voices at night, and her brother Roderick is consumed with a
mysterious malady of the nerves. Aided by a redoubtable British
mycologist and a baffled American doctor, Alex must unravel the
secret of the House of Usher before it consumes them all.
Award-winning author Ursula Vernon, writing as T. Kingfisher, presents a terrifying tale of hidden worlds and monstrous creations…
When Mouse’s dad asks her to clean out her dead grandmother's house, she says yes. After all, how bad could it be?
Answer: pretty bad. Grandma was a hoarder, and her house is stuffed with useless rubbish. That would be horrific enough, but there’s more—Mouse stumbles across her step-grandfather’s journal, which at first seems to be filled with nonsensical rants…until Mouse encounters some of the terrifying things he described for herself.
Alone in the woods with her dog, Mouse finds herself face to face with a series of impossible terrors—because sometimes the things that go bump in the night are real, and they’re looking for you. And if she doesn’t face them head on, she might not survive to tell the tale.

Dark and twisted family roots threaten to strangle their home's
foundations in this chilling haunted house novel from
the award-winning master of modern horror,
T. Kingfisher. In this ordinary North Carolina suburb, family
secrets are always in bloom. Samantha Montgomery pulls into the
driveway of her family home to find a massive black vulture perched
on the mailbox, staring at the house. Inside, everything has
changed. Gone is the eclectic warmth Sam expects; instead the walls
are a sterile white. Now, it’s very important to say grace before
dinner, and her mother won’t hear a word against Sam’s
long-dead and little-missed grandmother, who was the first to put
down roots in this small southern town. The longer Sam stays, the
stranger things get. And every day, more vultures circle
overhead…
Recently divorced and staring down the barrel of moving back in
with her parents, Carrot really needs a break. And a place to live.
So when her Uncle Earl, owner of the eclectic Wonder Museum, asks
her to stay with him in exchange for cataloguing the exhibits, of
course she says yes. The Wonder Museum is packed with taxidermy,
shrunken heads, and an assortment of Mystery Junk. For Carrot, it's
not creepy at all: she grew up with it. What's creepy is the hole
that's been knocked in one of the museum walls, and the corridor
behind it. There's just no space for a corridor in the museum's
thin walls - or the concrete bunker at the end of it, or the
strange islands beyond the bunker's doors, or the whispering,
unseen things lurking in the willow trees. Carrot has stumbled into
a strange and horrifying world, and They are watching her. Strewn
among the islands are the remains of Their meals - and Their
experiments. And even if she manages to make it back home again,
she can't stop calling Them after her...

Young Rhea is a miller's daughter of low birth, so she is
understandably surprised when a mysterious nobleman, Lord Crevan,
shows up on her doorstep and proposes marriage. Since commoners
don't turn down lords-no matter how sinister they may seem-Rhea is
forced to agree to the engagement. Lord Crevan demands that Rhea
visit his remote manor before their wedding. Upon arrival, she
discovers that not only was her betrothed married six times before,
but his previous wives are all imprisoned in his enchanted castle.
Determined not to share their same fate, Rhea asserts her desire
for freedom. In answer, Lord Crevan gives Rhea a series of magical
tasks to complete, with the threat "Come back before dawn, or else
I'll marry you." With time running out and each task more dangerous
and bizarre than the last, Rhea must use her resourcefulness,
compassion, and bravery to rally the other wives and defeat the
sorcerer before he binds her to him forever.
