“Audacious . . . [a] giddy thrill.” — Los Angeles Times “Weird? Obviously. But oddly gripping and convincing. … Skip that evening Scotch and read this one stone-cold sober—it’s plenty trippy as is.” — Washington Post Amberville, Tim Davys’s first novel about Mollisan Town and its stuffed animal inhabitants, is both a noir novel with an unusual cast and an utterly original meditation on good and evil. In the words of Brad Meltzer (bestselling author of The Book of Lies), “When you’re tired of run-of-the-mill fiction, it’s time to read Amberville… a mystery that’s completely original.”

A daring lady turns English propriety on its ear in Victoria Malvey's witty and delightful novel of love's surprising twists. Once a connoisseur of beautiful debutantes, Lord Bryce Keene now has more practical concerns as guardian to his headstrong niece. The girl needs the influence of a true and gentle lady...and so Bryce selects Cassandra Hampsted, known as an expert on the rules of polite society, to offer his hand in marriage. But Bryce is about to discover that not all is as it appears. Since penning an etiquette book for young ladies, Cassandra has learned that happy endings are not guaranteed -- even for those who follow society's rules to perfection. Lord Bryce's offer is enticing indeed, but Cassandra will not risk her heart without concocting fifty-six provisions for marital harmony that Bryce will wish he had read in full! As this strong-willed couple barters and negotiates their way to true happiness, they uncover a blissful union that is far too passionate to be called proper.

A much-awaited collection of prose and poetry from one of the great cosmic masters of the supernatural Not just any fantasy, horror, and science fiction author could impress H. P. Lovecraft into calling him “unexcelled by any other writer, dead or living” or compel Fritz Lieber to employ the worthy term sui generis. Clark Ashton Smith—autodidact, prolific poet, amateur philosopher, bizarre sculptor, and unmatched storyteller—simply wrote like no one else, before or since. This new collection of his very best tales and poems is selected and introduced by supernatural literature scholar S. T. Joshi and allows readers to encounter Smith’s visionary brand of fantastical, phantasmagorical worlds, each one filled with invention, terror, and a superlative sense of metaphysical wonder. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

In this first installment of the Ghost Girl Series, Dr. Diedre “DeeDee” Olsen Blanchard shares how, at the age of fourteen, she came to acquire her phenomenal paranormal abilities, how she uses them to assist local law enforcement and provide solace to those grieving the deaths of loved ones. On the eastern bank of Lake Okeechobee, deep in the black gold of the Glades, lies the rural farming community of Pahokee. Famous for its agriculture, tropical fruits, fishing, airboats, and alligators, it’s also the home of DeeDee Olsen. And where a cold-blooded murderer is on the loose. In the fall of 1978, the town is in a panic when the Homecoming Queen disappears after the Homecoming football game. Last seen with her abusive boyfriend and his equally abusive friends, DeeDee is convinced that they’re responsible for her disappearance. Without evidence proving that they committed a crime, telling the police chief about her suspiciousness would be futile. However, when the spirit of the missing girl appears to DeeDee pleading for her assistance to solve her murder, she has no other choice than to do exactly that. But the results don’t fare well for her. The police chief is neither interested in nor amused by her bizarre and unbelievable story about how she knows the missing girl is dead. Frustrated, hurt, and embarrassed by his stern hostility toward her, she storms out of the station more determined than ever to convince him that she’s telling the truth. She has to find a way to make the chief believe her and she has to do it quickly. The killer is now stalking and threatening her. He knows about her psychic abilities. He knows where she lives. He’s observed her pay multiple visits to the police station. Realizing that his intimidation tactics and confrontations do nothing to dissuade her, he feels pressured to take the matter into his own hands. Unwilling to allow her to destroy his life by revealing what she knows about him, he makes it his personal goal to shut her up permanently. That means he’ll have to kill again.
