Description

The haunting, romantic lesbian retelling of Cinderella and modern queer classic by award-winning author Malinda Lo—now with an introduction by Holly Black, a letter from the author, a Q&A, and more! In the wake of her father’s death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother. Consumed with grief, her only joy comes by the light of the dying hearth fire, rereading the fairy tales her mother once told her. In her dreams, someday the fairies will steal her away. When she meets the dark and dangerous fairy Sidhean, she believes that her wish may be granted. The day that Ash meets Kaisa, the King’s Huntress, her heart begins to change. Instead of chasing fairies, Ash learns to hunt with Kaisa. Their friendship, as delicate as a new bloom, reawakens Ash’s capacity for love—and her desire to live. But Sidhean has already claimed Ash for his own, and she must make a choice between fairy tale dreams and true love. Entrancing and empowering, Ash beautifully unfolds the connections between life and love, and solitude and death, where transformation can come from even the deepest grief.

Description

This novel provides a biosketch of the City of St. Petersburg in Russia, then Leningrad, during and shortly after World War II. During the Siege of Leningrad, at least one million people died of disease, starvation, and the effects of war. Soviet propaganda has consistently framed the Siege as heroic resistance to Fascism, which has encouraged most accounts to emphasize the strength and resilience of the Russian people, and not the accounts of their great suffering The truth regarding actual conditions in this City cannot be easily conveyed, but this novel. cuts through to the essence of the events. Survivors of the Siege, who have read the book in the original Russian, have expressed the opinion that is the best account of the Siege they have ever read.

The novel describes different aspects of survival and non-survival during the Siege. A child narrator, whose early vocabulary includes words such as bombyoshka (bombing), relates the events in several chapters. The childs frank appraisal allows the reader to penetrate to the very core of reality in a city where bombs are falling, dead bodies line the streets, and simple joys still exist in a narrow context. Each additional chapter reveals one more perspective.

Description

Ash is James Herbert’s last and most controversial novel. It will make you wonder what is fact and what is fiction.

Fear will let you in. Terror will keep you there.

David Ash, ghost hunter and parapsychologist, arrives at Comraich Castle – a desolate, ancient place with a dark heart – to investigate a series of disturbing events. An incorporeal power has been ignited by a long-ago curse, fed and now unleashed by the evil of those who once inhabited this supposed sanctuary – and by some who still do. Yet their hour of retribution is at hand . . .

Start the chilling series from the Master of Horror, with Haunted.
