"A provocative new author. A fascinating debut novel. Read it!” —Jeff VanderMeer In Rachel Heng's debut set in near future New York City—where lives last three hundred years and the pursuit of immortality is all-consuming—Lea must choose between her estranged father and her chance to live forever. Lea Kirino is a “Lifer,” which means that a roll of the genetic dice has given her the potential to live forever—if she does everything right. And Lea is an overachiever. She’s a successful trader on the New York exchange—where instead of stocks, human organs are now bought and sold—she has a beautiful apartment, and a fiancé who rivals her in genetic perfection. And with the right balance of HealthTechTM, rigorous juicing, and low-impact exercise, she might never die. But Lea’s perfect life is turned upside down when she spots her estranged father on a crowded sidewalk. His return marks the beginning of her downfall as she is drawn into his mysterious world of the Suicide Club, a network of powerful individuals and rebels who reject society’s pursuit of immortality, and instead choose to live—and die—on their own terms. In this future world, death is not only taboo; it’s also highly illegal. Soon Lea is forced to choose between a sanitized immortal existence and a short, bittersweet time with a man she has never really known, but who is the only family she has left in the world.

The people in these eight interlaced stories are ?bound together by the worst sort of grief,? the kind that can devour you after someone close takes his or her own life. Even so, Toni Graham reveals a piercingly funny cast, short on patience with themselves and the incongruous pieties of daily life in the Heartland.

WINNER OF THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION’S BEST HORROR NOVEL OF THE YEAR “As much F. Scott Fitzgerald as Dean Koontz” (#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs), Christopher Buehlman excels in twisting the familiar into newfound dread in his “genre-bending” (California Literary Review) novels. Now the acclaimed author of Those Across the River delivers his most disquieting tale yet... The secret is, vampires are real and I am one. The secret is, I’m stealing from you what is most truly yours and I’m not sorry... New York City in 1978 is a dirty, dangerous place to live. And die. Joey Peacock knows this as well as anybody—he has spent the last forty years as an adolescent vampire, perfecting the routine he now enjoys: womanizing in punk clubs and discotheques, feeding by night, and sleeping by day with others of his kind in the macabre labyrinth under the city’s sidewalks. The subways are his playground and his highway, shuttling him throughout Manhattan to bleed the unsuspecting in the Sheep Meadow of Central Park or in the backseats of Checker cabs, or even those in their own apartments who are too hypnotized by sitcoms to notice him opening their windows. It’s almost too easy. Until one night he sees them hunting on his beloved subway. The children with the merry eyes. Vampires, like him…or not like him. Whatever they are, whatever their appearance means, the undead in the tunnels of Manhattan are not as safe as they once were. And neither are the rest of us.

"They hunt on the margins of an America in turmoil, on the wide new highways and in small, forgotten towns. Using their powerful, big-block cars as weapons, they cause horrific accidents, feed on the carnage, then hurtle back into the dark. Killing their prey and wiping the minds of those they meet, they remain faceless, hidden; until one woman survives the wreck that kills her family and carries the memory of their shining eyes and their teeth with her on a cross-country odyssey of revenge. This is a story you will remember on long drives down lonely roads, and on starless nights when you wonder about your fellow travelers – especially the one that just got behind you with no headlights on."--Amazon.

What if there was a way for the disillusioned super-rich to end it all in style? At the luxurious Bohemian Sports Club in St James's, London's jaded young men feast and swill fine wines as though tomorrow will never come. And for the one who draws the 'Death Card' that night, it never will. When a wealthy English playboy dies in suspicious circumstances in Panama City, Lloyd's claims adjuster and former Royal Marines Commando, Ben Makepeace, is sent to investigate the fifty million dollar insurance claim on the dead man's life. Joining forces with Laura Newman, the grieving sister of one of the Club's members, Ben must elude his own demons as well as the lethal Peruvian assassin, El Pishtaco, to uncover a secret of evolution that has been hidden through the centuries- and the prey that the Club stalks across the world. As they pursue the truth through the narrow streets of Cartagena de Indias and deep into the Colombian jungle, Ben and Laura discover that the Club's members know it by a different name: The Billionaire Suicide Club. Caught in the middle of an existential battle, they are forced to confront what it means to be human- and to be alive. With the body-count mounting up, they race to save the secretive Firestarters, before the Club can hunt them down. But how do you escape from an enemy with infinite resources, for whom despair is power, and death is a way of life? Who can you trust, when the stakes are so high? And who is the mysterious Suicide King? Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's gripping suite of short stories, The Suicide Club, this fast-paced, contemporary technological thriller combines the opulence of the London elite with the world-weariness, danger and style of film noir. The Billionaire Suicide Club is more than a club. And no one leaves it alive.
