About the book
18-year-old Lillian is dying. But she is not going down without a fight. Sheltered by her father her whole life, Lillian’s greatest wish has always been to join the rebel group he leads, to leave a mark on the world she is soon to leave.
In the aftermath of a tragedy, Lillian decides to seek revenge by killing the King of Orios. Against the wishes of her lover, Eli, she joins the dangerous King's Guard Trials to get close to the King, where she soon learns death is the only alternative to success.
While fighting her way through a deadly maze filled with dark magic, and scaling a treacherous mountain inhabited by mythical creatures, she discovers the greatest threat may really lie with her fellow participants, who won’t hesitate to kill for a spot in the guard.
Despite her determination to pursue the mission alone, Lillian finds close friendship with eternally cheerful Finn and Astrid, another rebel infiltrating the guard. She also fights a strange connection with her handsome, but mysterious, commander who appears adamant to save her life.
But as whispers of the Valkyries searching for their long lost heir emerge, and dragons return to Orios, Lillian begins to question everything she thought she knew. No one around her appears to be who they say they are. And what are the rebels and Eli hiding from her?

I’m Thinking of Ending Things
Horror · Psychological Thriller
Our take
A young woman travels with her boyfriend to meet his parents in the country—but unease builds with every mile. She’s thinking of ending things, yet something darker is already unfolding. I’m Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid is an unnerving, psychological masterpiece—now a Netflix film—hailed for its mounting dread and haunting precision.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The thought arrives, and it stays.
A young woman takes a road trip with her boyfriend to meet his parents at their remote farm. Snow falls, night deepens, and unease creeps into every silence. She’s thinking of ending things—of the relationship, perhaps of something more—but the words won’t come. Each mile brings new tension, each moment another reason to doubt what’s real.
As the drive twists toward its shocking destination, memory, identity, and reality fracture into something terrifyingly unfamiliar.
I’m Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid is a masterwork of literary suspense—claustrophobic, haunting, and profoundly unsettling. Adapted into a Netflix Original Film and praised by Entertainment Weekly for its “mounting dread and unease with every passing page.”

The Unworthy
Horror · Dystopian · Thriller · Hispanic Fiction · Psychological Fiction
Our take
In a crumbling world, a woman called unworthy writes her story from within a secretive convent where obedience is survival. When a stranger arrives, forbidden memories rise, and faith turns to fear. The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica, author of Tender Is the Flesh, is a searing work of feminist horror and dystopian devotion.

She writes her story in dirt, ink, and blood.

But when a stranger arrives, memories stir of a life forgotten and a truth too dangerous to name. Obedience turns to doubt, and safety becomes its own cage.
From the author of Tender Is the Flesh, The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica is a haunting novel of faith, violence, and control—literary horror that confronts the price of salvation in a world already damned. A national bestseller.

Our take
In their dream Manhattan apartment, Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse find charm, success—and something sinister. When Rosemary’s long-awaited pregnancy begins to twist into terror, she must ask whether she’s losing her sanity or discovering the truth.

After death, Soren Johansson awakens in an infinite library where escape depends on finding the one book that tells his life story.
A Short Stay in Hell
Horror · Literary Fiction · Speculative Fiction
Our take
After death, Soren Johansson awakens in an infinite library where escape depends on finding the one book that tells his life story. A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck is a haunting philosophical tale of faith, futility, and the search for meaning in eternity—a brief stay that feels infinite and profoundly human.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Death was not the revelation Soren Johansson expected.
A geologist and devoted Mormon, Soren believed eternity meant reunion and peace. Instead, he awakens in an endless library—an infinite maze of books written in every possible combination of words. Somewhere within its shelves lies a single volume: the story of his life. Only by finding it can he escape.
As years stretch into centuries, Soren confronts madness, memory, and meaning itself in a place where time has no mercy and belief offers no refuge.
In A Short Stay in Hell, author and philosopher Steven L. Peck crafts a haunting meditation on existence, faith, and the futility of human understanding—a brief eternity that feels both infinite and achingly human.

About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The heart-wrenching, uplifting tale about a woman named Cupcake
“[Cupcake] Brown’s confessional . . . memoir is one you can’t easily put down. Her life is nothing short of a miracle.”—Chicago Sun-Times
There are shelves of memoirs about overcoming the death of a parent, childhood abuse, rape, drug addiction, miscarriage, alcoholism, hustling, gangbanging, near-death injuries, drug dealing, prostitution, and homelessness.
Cupcake Brown survived all these things before she’d even turned twenty.
And that’s when things got interesting. . .
Orphaned by the death of her mother and left in the hands of a sadistic foster parent, young Cupcake Brown learned to survive by turning tricks, downing hard liquor, and ingesting every drug she could find while hitchhiking up and down the California coast. She stumbled into gangbanging, drug dealing, hustling, prostitution, theft, and, eventually, the best scam of all: a series of 9-to-5 jobs.
A Piece of Cake is unlike any memoir you’ll ever read. Moving in its frankness, this is the most satisfying, startlingly funny, and genuinely affecting tour through hell you’ll ever take.

About the book
A spellbinding story of family, love, and betrayal set during the Salem witch trials as a mother is condemned by the truth—and her daughter is saved by a lie.
Salem, 1752. Sarah Carrier Chapman, weak with infirmity, writes a letter to her granddaughter that reveals the secret she has closely guarded for six decades: how she survived the Salem Witch Trials when her mother did not.
Sarah's story begins more than a year before the trials, when she and her family arrive in a New England community already gripped by superstition and fear. As they witness neighbor pitted against neighbor, friend against friend, the hysteria escalates—until more than two hundred men, women, and children have been swept into prison. Among them is Sarah's mother, Martha Carrier. In an attempt to protect her children, Martha asks Sarah to commit an act of heresy—a lie that will most surely condemn Martha even as it will save her daughter.
This is the story of Martha's courageous defiance and ultimate death, as told by the daughter who survived.
