About the book
A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice
"Inferno is a disturbing and masterfully told memoir, but it's also an important one that pushes back against powerful taboos. . ." --The New York Times Book Review
"Explosive" --Good Morning America
"Sublime" --Bookpage (starred review)
When Catherine Cho and her husband set off from London to introduce their newborn son to family scattered across the United States, she could not have imagined what lay in store. Before the trip's end, she develops psychosis, a complete break from reality, which causes her to lose all sense of time and place, including what is real and not real. In desperation, her husband admits her to a nearby psychiatric hospital, where she begins the hard work of rebuilding her identity.
In this unwaveringly honest, insightful, and often shocking memoir Catherine reconstructs her sense of self, starting with her childhood as the daughter of Korean immigrants, moving through a traumatic past relationship, and on to the early years of her courtship with and marriage to her husband, James. She masterfully interweaves these parts of her past with a vivid, immediate recounting of the days she spent in the ward.
The result is a powerful exploration of psychosis and motherhood, at once intensely personal, yet holding within it a universal experience – of how we love, live and understand ourselves in relation to each other.

About the book
"This fresh, thrilling take on Anastasia establishes that O'Neil is a debut author to watch." —Buzzfeed
From debut author Carolyn Tara O'Neil comes a thrilling alternate history set during the Russian Revolution.
Russia, 1918: With the execution of Tsar Nicholas, the empire crumbles and Russia is on the edge of civil war—the poor are devouring the rich. Anna, a bourgeois girl, narrowly escaped the massacre of her entire family in Yekaterinburg. Desperate to get away from the Bolsheviks, she offers a peasant girl a diamond to take her as far south as possible—not realizing that the girl is a communist herself. With her brother in desperate need of a doctor, Evgenia accepts Anna's offer and suddenly finds herself on the wrong side of the war.
Anna is being hunted by the Bolsheviks, and now—regardless of her loyalties—Evgenia is too.
Daughters of a Dead Empire is a harrowing historical thriller about dangerous ideals, inequality, and the price we pay for change. An imaginative retelling of the Anastasia story.

About the book
Bloodier than Fried Green Tomatoes!
Funnier than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre!
Welcome to Gil's All Night Diner, where zombie attacks are a regular occurrence and you never know what might be lurking in the freezer . . .
Duke and Earl are just passing through Rockwood county in their pick-up truck when they stop at the Diner for a quick bite to eat. They aren't planning to stick around-until Loretta, the eatery's owner, offers them $100 to take care of her zombie problem. Given that Duke is a werewolf and Earl's a vampire, this looks right up their alley.
But the shambling dead are just the tip of a particularly spiky iceberg. Seems someone's out to drive Loretta from the Diner, and more than willing to raise a little Hell on Earth if that's what it takes. Before Duke and Earl get to the bottom of the Diner's troubles, they'll run into such otherworldly complications as undead cattle, an amorous ghost, a jailbait sorceress, and the terrifying occult power of pig-latin.
And maybe--just maybe--the End of the World, too.
Gory, sexy, and flat-out hilarious, Gil's All Fright Diner will tickle your funnybone--before ripping it out of its socket!

About the book
Named One of the 16 Best Young Adult Books of 2016 by Paste Magazine!
Trixie Watson has two very important goals for senior year: to finally save enough to buy the set of Doctor Who figurines at the local comic books store, and to place third in her class and knock Ben West--and his horrendous new mustache that he spent all summer growing—down to number four.
Trixie will do anything to get her name ranked over Ben's, including give up sleep and comic books—well, maybe not comic books—but definitely sleep. After all, the war of Watson v. West is as vicious as the Doctor v. Daleks and Browncoats v. Alliance combined, and it goes all the way back to the infamous monkey bars incident in the first grade. Over a decade later, it's time to declare a champion once and for all.
The war is Trixie's for the winning, until her best friend starts dating Ben's best friend and the two are unceremoniously dumped together and told to play nice. Finding common ground is odious and tooth-pullingly-painful, but Trixie and Ben's cautious truce slowly transforms into a fandom-based tentative friendship. When Trixie's best friend gets expelled for cheating and Trixie cries foul play, however, they have to choose who to believe and which side they're on—and they might not pick the same side.

About the book
It's been almost a century since the veil fell and monsters invaded the world. We didn't give the humans an opportunity to retaliate as we charged in and took over, and I was at the head of the front lines with my sword in hand. A perfect soldier, fighting the battles that ultimately put my people in charge of this planet. Half of humanity was slaughtered, and in the decades since the invasion, things have only gotten worse. Tensions between the rebel humans and monsters grew as the climate changed, and temperatures rose as resources dwindled. The sun scorched away plants and trees, leaving behind a husk of a planet where everyone fights for survival.
The Fates were furious at our violence, and now we're trapped inside the hell we created.
We've all heard tale of the Mate's Mark, and how we're destined to find our fated mate. One human, one monster - foretold to be the cure to this cursed world and repair the damage that has been done. What was once the cause of curiosity and intrigue has turned into nothing more than a mockery. Decades have passed, and not a single pair of fated mates had been found.
Until now.
Until me.
Until the night I pull off my armor and find the mark staring back.

Our take
Titan’s Descendant follows Nathan, the weakest disciple in his cultivation sect, cursed with a flaw that blocks his growth and threatens his only hope of returning home. When his System awakens, that flaw becomes his greatest weapon. By enduring what should break him, Nathan uncovers a new path to power where survival itself fuels advancement.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A fatal flaw is his only path to power.
For two years, Nathan has been a failure. Cursed with an abysmal energy absorption rate, he's the weakest disciple in the Verdant Spire Sect and faces certain expulsion. His dream of returning to Earth to save his ailing mother is about to die. He's a talentless cultivator at the bottom of the food chain, with one day left to change his fate.
Just when all hope is lost, his long-dormant System awakens, granting him a bizarre and unique power: The Passive Paradigm.
His flaw is no longer a curse. It's the key to a new kind of advancement where endurance is strength, and survival itself is a source of explosive growth. By discovering loopholes and turning the rules of cultivation on their head, Nathan forges a new path. But this power comes at a cost, forcing him into a brutal tournament where he is the underdog and a deadly forest that wants him dead.
Experience an Epic Cultivation LitRPG where the grind pays double. Perfect for fans of Cradle and He Who Fights with Monsters, this adventure features a clever underdog, a unique skill system, brutal martial arts combat, and a progression from outcast to alpha.
