Hunters Follow Harpy Shadows is an experimental work taking the form of an extended poetic sequence in the high fantasy style, set in a world built from reimagined Korean folklore, biblical storytelling, and queer mythologies. Across twenty-five chapters, Rin Kim’s text recounts the tangled, cosmic history of shapeshifting goddexes intermixed with an otherworldly cast of demis, dryads, wraiths, satyrs, tieflings and sirens. Taking cues from the Old Testament, fantasy storytelling, and the depths of fanfiction forums online, the project alternates between narrative storytelling in the direct mode of epic religious texts and a series of Psalmic interventions spoken in the innermost voice of the gods. Like a series of connected visions, Hunters Follow Harpy Shadows hands down the origin stories of distant worlds -- of clashing immortals, species dying out, and deities fading from power. It is both a fantasy saga beset by violence, warfare and blood sacrifice, and a lovers’ song of longing and transcendence.

Paranaturalists Samantha Winwell This book is an assortment of stories of the paranormal and unnatural. Some are recent works revisited, along with some new stories that will send a chill down one’s spine with every turn of the page. Some are intriguing and macabre, full of mystery and suspense; while others have undertones of dark humor to add levity to this dark anthology. The first story is the author’s spin of the hit series Supernatural from a woman’s perspective. Samantha Winwell hopes fans will enjoy her version just as much. If so, she will be willing to pen out a couple more in the near future. The reason she wrote this book is because she has always been a fan of the classic Gothic novel and fantasy. Winwell carefully selected these stories that can be read during Halloween or if the reader wants a good fright before bedtime. At the end there is a preview of Winwell’s latest project that she is currently working, with a title yet to be determined. At this time she hopes the readers will enjoy reading this book as she enjoyed writing it.

Dear readers, When I wrote What Really Happened I was still very raw from the firestorm that my life had become due to my unwise decision to have an affair with John Edwards, a married man. I realize now what I have never admitted before. I behaved badly. That may strike you as obvious, but it's taken me a long time to admit this, even to myself. I was attacked so often, and so viciously, that I felt that I was the victim. I felt hurt, and betrayed, and somehow that justified my actions. But of course all of the attacks and all of the betrayal were beside the point. The point is … I behaved badly. And the release of What Really Happened didn't help. When I look back at this book that I wrote, I want to throw it out and start again. But instead of attempting to erase my mistakes, I am now owning them. I've annotated the original book. Typos have been corrected but not a word has been changed, not even words that cause me to cringe when I reread them. Instead I have put notes throughout—notes that acknowledge what I couldn't when I wrote the book. Best, Rielle
