After posting a negative review of a horror novel, a woman staying
at an isolated beach house begins to wonder if the author is a
little touchy--or very, very dangerous--in this pulse-pounding
novel of psychological suspense and terror from the critically
acclaimed author of No Exit and Hairpin Bridge. Emma Carpenter
lives in isolation with her golden retriever Laika, house-sitting
an old beachfront home on the rainy Washington coast. Her only
human contact is her enigmatic old neighbor, Deek, and (via text)
the house's owner, Jules. One day, she reads a poorly written--but
gruesome--horror novel by the author H. G. Kane, and posts a
one-star review that drags her into an online argument with none
other than the author himself. Soon after, disturbing incidents
start to occur at night. To Emma, this can't just be a coincidence.
It was strange enough for this author to bicker with her online
about a lousy review; could he be stalking her, too? As Emma digs
into Kane's life and work, she learns he has published sixteen
other novels, all similarly sadistic tales of stalking and murder.
But who is he? How did he find her? And what else is he capable of?
Displaying his trademark command of rapid-fire pacing, unnerving
atmosphere, and razor-sharp characterization, Taylor Adams once
again delivers a diabolically disturbing--and deadly--game of cat
and mouse.
Emma is house-sitting on the rainy Washington coast with only her golden retriever for company. She likes the isolation, the peace and quiet, and the opportunity to read.
But her latest pick, a poorly written and gruesome horror novel, is disappointing and Emma leaves a one-star review. A message dings back - the author, H.G. Kane, has replied and he's furious. Emma brushes it off, until disturbing incidents start to occur. Scratches in the night. A figure crawling around in the shadows.
Kane has written sixteen other novels, all similarly sadistic tales of stalking and murder. He knows he's a brilliant writer - he just needs to make Emma understand...
Expect the unexpected in this pulse-pounding novel of psychological suspense and terror from the critically acclaimed author of the TikTok sensation No Exit.
Using real-life case studies throughout, the book presents a lucid,
yet critical, analysis of the manner in which inter-locking changes
in business and politics are leading to social-economic changes
which will benefit some while excluding others. Develops a model of
how networks can be designed, structurally and conceptually, so
that the local may flourish connected to the global. Provides a
strategic understanding of the forces driving the new economy and
proposes concrete ways forward.

In his imagination, Albert rescues and saves; he fights crime and
fierce creatures; and he even flies to space. Albert is a secret
Hero! But sometimes real life gets in the way of play and
Albert forgets to use the potty… leading to unheroic
accidents. Follow little Albert through his adventures as he
discovers just how useful his potty can be! Aimed at nursery aged
children, this beautifully illustrated rhyming story is a gentle
introduction to toilet training. Promoting discussion through the
fantasy and reality of Albert’s adventures, this book is ideal
for those children (and their grownups!) who are fearful or won’t
take to the potty, to make it fun and unintimidating. Amazing
Albert The Hero! and his Power Potty sidekick could be just what
you’re looking for when it’s time for YOUR little Super
Hero to start toilet training.

how networks can be designed, structurally and conceptually, so
that the local may flourish connected to the global. Provides a
strategic understanding of the forces driving the new economy and
proposes concrete ways forward.
Globalization and technology are combining to change socio-economic
relationships. The pace of change and uncertainty of the world of
work - no job for life, zero-hours contracts, diminished pension
rights and a growing delivery dependence on digital networks over
human contact - are creating a profound unease that may be
unprecedented in the Western world. If organizational patterns are
not sufficiently adjusted and businesses continue as usual, we run
the risk of alienating entire groups within society with many
feeling 'left behind'. Using deliberately accessible language for
students and the general reader, the authors draw upon socially
innovative models of economic organization from the nineteenth
century to present a model to master this new economy for the
common good. The book illustrates, with practical examples, how
digital networks can be leveraged and provides a common checklist
to identify suitable conditions for organizations to flourish and
provide the means to more effectively evaluate opportunities.
After posting a negative book review, a woman living in a remote

This anthology provides a single, convenient volume of diverse
primary texts supporting the teaching and research field of
Anglophone Transatlantic literatures and print culture. Focusing on
ongoing and shared concerns and social practices across the long
nineteenth century, the book's thematically-organised sections mark
major Transatlantic social movements of that era as expressed,
negotiated, and recorded through literary production. The anthology
offers a range of tools and texts for innovative thinking,
teaching, and exploration. Headnotes provide guidance on how
individual selections arose from social and historical contexts.
Annotations create student-friendly identification of key terms or
allusions
If you give this book a one-star review, you might end up dead.

Musical theatre is often perceived as either a Broadway based art
form, or as having separate histories in London and New York.
Musical Theatre Histories: Expanding the Narrative, however,
depicts the musical as neither American nor British, but both and
more, having grown out of frequent and substantial interactions
between both centres (and beyond). Through multiple thematic
'histories', Millie Taylor and Adam Rush take readers on a series
of journeys that include the art form's European and American
origins, African American influences, negotiations arounddiversity,
national identity, and the globalisation of the form, as well as
revival culture, censorship and the place of social media in the
21st century. Each chapter includes case studies and key concept
boxes to identify, explain and contextualise important discussions,
offering an accessible study of a dynamic and ever evolving medium.
Written and developed for undergraduate students, this introductory
textbook provides a newly focused and alternative way of
understanding musical theatre history.
