Psychic LaShaun Rousselle thought she left her troubles behind when she fled Beau Chene, Louisiana. But when she gets news that her grandmother is dying, LaShaun returns. There she confronts a deadly family feud. Even worse, she quickly realizes that the demon she unwittingly unleashed years ago has been wreaking havoc on her small bayou hometown. With a bloodthirsty loa on the loose, LaShaun fights to stop the killing spree and save the town from destruction. But when she becomes a murder suspect, she teams up with the charming and unlikely ally. Not convinced by local superstition and gossip about LaShaun, Vermilion Parish Deputy Chase Broussard is determined to uncover the true culprit. Together, they battle human evil and the forces of darkness that threaten to consume them both. A Darker Shade of Midnight is a thrilling tale of magic, mystery, and murder.

In a frozen wilderness steeped in darkness, the lines between good and evil, lover and enemy, are never black or white but drawn in Shades of Midnight. Something inhuman is stalking the frigid Alaskan wilds, leaving unspeakable carnage in its wake. For bush pilot Alexandra Maguire, the killings stir memories of a horrific event she witnessed as a child and evoke in her the inexplicable sense of otherness she has long felt within herself but never fully understood . . . until a darkly seductive stranger with secrets of his own enters her world. Sent from Boston on a mission to investigate the savage attacks and stop the slaughter, vampire warrior Kade has his own reasons for returning to the frigid, forbidding place of his birth. Haunted by a secret shame, Kade soon realizes the stunning truth of the threat he faces–a threat that will jeopardize the fragile bond he has formed with the courageous, determined young woman who arouses his deepest passions and most primal hungers. But in bringing Alex into his world of blood and darkness, Kade must confront both his own personal demons and the even greater evil that could destroy all he holds dear.

The much-anticipated sequel to the book Danielle Page, author of Dorothy Must Die, says is "inventive, gorgeous, and epic--Grey dazzles." Everything in Echo's life changed in a blinding flash when she learned the startling truth: she is the firebird, the creature of light that is said to bring peace. The firebird has come into the world, but it has not come alone. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and Echo can feel a great and terrible darkness rising in the distance. Cosmic forces threaten to tear the world apart. Echo has already lost her home, her family, and her boyfriend. Now, as the firebird, her path is filled with even greater dangers than the ones she's already overcome. She knows the Dragon Prince will not fall without a fight. Echo must decide: can she wield the power of her true nature--or will it prove too strong for her, and burn what's left of her world to the ground? Welcome to the shadow hour.

#1 New Release and 5-Star Rated! "Middle-school-age-appropriate structure and vocabulary and fast-paced action make this an easy read for fourth to sixth graders, who will enjoy the descriptions of completely unempathetic adults." --The BookLife Prize "Andrew Luria, a real-life news and sports anchor, takes Charlie and Emma on a lively jaunt through space and time, and sports milestones, in this wonderfully-illustrated page-turner." --The BookLife Prize ******************************************************* Charlie Marley changed history as we know it. Which is incredible, considering he's the clumsiest kid on God's green earth. All it took was a few wrong turns, a couple accidental slips and one terribly misguided time-traveling golf cart to make it happen. Not to mention the threat of the scariest teacher in the universe, Mrs. Cooper the Pooper Scooper! Along the way, Charlie and his travel partners meet Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Michael Jordan, Babe Zaharias, John Elway and Mary Lou Retton. They try to dodge the deceptive members of the time travel police. And last--but certainly not least--they witness the most horrifying sight they ever could have imagined. If they can earn their Time Travel Wings without breaking any of the time travel rules, they just might be able to change the most embarrassing ending in World Series history. But one wrong move, and they'll be sent off to do hard time in a galaxy far, far away. Looking back, perhaps they never should have gotten in that bizarre-looking high-tech golf cart in the first place. What would you do?! ****************************************** Seven-time Emmy Award-winner Andrew Luria makes his children’s book debut with this fun and informative middle-grade series, combining history, sports, time-travel and adventure! "Great for young sports enthusiasts!" "My 11-year-old son can’t say enough great things about this book!!" ************************************************ Fans of the Baseball Card Adventures and the Magic Tree House Series will love The Adventures of Charlie Marley! Think Forrest Gump, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Back To The Future, based on sports, for kids! ***************************************************************** "Our elementary school boys LOVE this book!" "A very entertaining book for adults and kids alike!" ***************************************************************** "Time travel steers the group into the fray of six unforgettable moments in sports, from Babe Ruth’s called shot at the World Series and the Stanford band storming the field against Cal to misadventures involving Mary Lou Retton, Jackie Robinson, Michael Jordan and Babe Didrikson Zaharias." --San Diego Union Tribune #### "It mixes make-believe with facts that revolve around milestone events that Luria wants this generation to embrace." --The Coast News #### "It's a very large book. I mean, it's a lot of pages. So, this'll be good." --ESPN's Tony Kornheiser - July 21, 2021

Joyce Carol Oates assembles an outstanding cast of authors—including Margaret Atwood, Tananarive Due, and Megan Abbott—to explore, subvert, and reinvent one of the most vital subgenres of horror "In this haunting new collection, edited by Oates, fifteen women writers explore the manifold horrors of living (and dying) in a patriarchal society . . . this collection may initially appeal to readers eager for tales filled with vampires and werewolves, influences from beyond the grave, and gore, guts, and ooze. They will not be disappointed. However, the stories not only bleed across the categorical boundaries they have been assigned, but also expand the scope of what is terrifying about the body—living or dead, human or nonhuman—in the first place . . . A bold collection of horror stories that flies in the face of both gender and genre conventions." —Kirkus Reviews While the common belief is that "body horror" as a subgenre of horror fiction dates back to the 1970s, Joyce Carol Oates suggests that Medusa, the snake-haired gorgon in Greek mythology, is the "quintessential emblem of female body horror." In A Darker Shade of Noir: New Stories of Body Horror by Women Writers, Oates has assembled a spectacular cast to explore this subgenre focusing on distortions to the human body in the most fascinating of ways. "Should we know nothing of the female monsters of antiquity," Oates writes in her introduction to the volume, "still we would know that body horror in its myriad manifestations speaks most powerfully to women and girls. To be female is to inhabit a body that is by nature vulnerable to forcible invasion, susceptible to impregnation and repeated pregnancies, condemned to suffer childbirth, often in the past early deaths in childbirth and in the aftermath of childbirth." Featuring brand-new stories by: Margaret Atwood, Tananarive Due, Joyce Carol Oates, Megan Abbott, Raven Leilani, Aimee Bender, Lisa Lim, Cassandra Khaw, Elizabeth Hand, Valerie Martin, Sheila Kohler, Joanna Margaret, Lisa Tuttle, Aimee LaBrie, and Yumi Dineen Shiroma.

There’s a newcomer, Manfred Bernardo, who just wants to work hard and blend in. But Manfred has secrets of his own...
