About the book
For nearly three centuries, one family has guarded a quiet patch of land that most people believe is nothing more than weeds. Jack Durkin, the ninth caretaker of Lorne Field, knows better. Every day he pulls the writhing growths that threaten to take root. If he fails, the creature they form, an Aukowie, will awaken and destroy everything he loves.
But exhaustion, family strain, and a town that mocks his devotion make Jack question whether the danger is real or the product of inherited delusion. As the season deepens and the field stirs with unsettling life, his duty becomes a test of faith, fear, and the thin line between sacrifice and madness.
With 4.4 stars on Amazon, more than 800 Goodreads ratings, and honors from the American Library Association and the Black Quill Awards, this atmospheric novel remains a celebrated entry in modern horror.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Long before the tragedy in Guyana shocked the world, Jim Jones built his influence through conviction, charisma, and a talent for drawing people into his orbit. What began as an idealistic ministry in 1950s Indianapolis grew into a movement that blended faith, politics, and social activism, masking a darkness that deepened with every passing year.
As Peoples Temple rose in power, Jones cultivated a private world defined by manipulation, drugs, and staged miracles. His ambition ultimately carried nearly a thousand followers into the Guyanese jungle, where hope collapsed into fear and obedience became catastrophe.
Drawing on extensive research, FBI files, survivor testimony, and firsthand travel to key locations, The Road to Jonestown delivers a comprehensive account of the man behind the largest murder suicide in American history. An Edgar Award finalist for Best Fact Crime.

As a young pilot in the British Royal Air Force, Peter Tunstall learned to fly with equal parts skill and mischief. He wanted to serve and protect his crew, never imagining he would become one of the war’s most determined prisoners.
Bombing missions tested his nerve, yet captivity challenged him even more. Tunstall pursued each escape with bold creativity, revealing the thin line between playful resistance and life altering danger.
Praised by Kirkus Reviews, the New York Post, and other outlets, The Last Escaper offers a vivid, human account that stands out among World War II memoirs.
