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.

And the biggest shock comes at the end.
Love and danger. Sex and violence. The heart wants what the heart wants.

"Inescapably compelling." —VICTORIA SCHWAB, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie Larue
"A masterful and monstrous retelling." —STEPHANIE GARBER, #1 New York Times and internationally bestselling author of Caraval and Legendary
A stunning and dark reimagining of Frankenstein told from the point-of-view of Elizabeth Lavenza, who is taken in by the Frankenstein family.
Elizabeth Lavenza hasn't had a proper meal in weeks. Her thin arms are covered with bruises from her "caregiver," and she is on the verge of being thrown into the streets . . . until she is brought to the home of Victor Frankenstein, an unsmiling, solitary boy who has everything—except a friend.
Victor is her escape from misery. Elizabeth does everything she can to make herself indispensable—and it works. She is taken in by the Frankenstein family and rewarded with a warm bed, delicious food, and dresses of the finest silk. Soon she and Victor are inseparable.
But her new life comes at a price. As the years pass, Elizabeth's survival depends on managing Victor's dangerous temper and entertaining his every whim, no matter how depraved. Behind her blue eyes and sweet smile lies the calculating heart of a girl determined to stay alive no matter the cost . . . as the world she knows is consumed by darkness.

About the book
A psychopath attempts to take over the body of a wounded soldier in this sci-fi thriller from a British Fantasy Award winning author.
Richard Garrison, a Corporal in the British Military Police, loses his sight while trying to save the wife and child of millionaire industrialist Thomas Schroeder from a terrorist bomb. While Garrison is recovering from his injuries, Schroeder makes him an offer the young man cannot refuse—refuge at Schroeder's luxurious mountain retreat and rehabilitation from the best doctors who can treat Garrison's blindness and if not cure him at least teach him a new way of life.
But Thomas Schroeder has a secret. He is dying and determined not to lose his life. The doctors tell him his body cannot be saved. But about his mind? Garrison's healthy young body would make an excellent replacement for Schroeder's failing corpus, if the machines to perform the operation can be perfected in time.
Garrison has no secrets of his own. Since the bombing that caused a loss of his sight, Garrison has become aware of new abilities slowly developing in his mind: mental powers he is beginning to master; strengths Schroeder cannot expect.
Richard Garrison and Thomas Schroeder, two strong-willed men locked in battle for the greatest prize—life itself.

Invisible brain spiders.
This Book Is Full of Spiders
Horror
Our take
Invisible brain spiders. A reluctant hero with a chainsaw. And the end of the world, again. In Jason Pargin’s darkly funny sequel to John Dies at the End, reality unravels one bad decision at a time. It’s horror, humor, and absurdity at its finest. 4.6 stars on Amazon and a Goodreads Choice Award nominee.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Jason Pargin’s cult-hit duo, Dave and John, are back, and the world’s about to end again, probably. This time, the apocalypse starts small: with invisible spiders burrowing into people’s brains and turning them into something... not quite human. Dave swears he’s not responsible (this time), but when skepticism itself becomes a symptom, there’s no way to tell who’s infected and who’s just an idiot.
Armed with sarcasm, bad decisions, and the occasional chainsaw, the pair stumbles through small-town chaos that makes zombie flicks look like nature documentaries. It’s horrifying. It’s hilarious. It’s profoundly weird.
A New York Times bestseller and Goodreads Choice Award nominee, This Book Is Full of Spiders boasts a 4.6-star Amazon rating and nearly 34,000 Goodreads reviews.

A dysfunctional family vacation in a remote Italian villa turns nightmarish in Diavola, Jennifer Marie Thorne’s sly, Gothic horror.
Diavola
Horror · Thriller · Occult Horror · Supernatural Horror · Suspense
Our take
A dysfunctional family vacation in a remote Italian villa turns nightmarish in Diavola, Jennifer Marie Thorne’s sly, Gothic horror. Between ghostly warnings and family feuds, Anna’s survival rules might not be enough this time. A USA Today bestseller and Esquire Best Horror Book of 2024 pick, this haunting satire cuts deep—and laughs while it does.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Anna has two rules for every family vacation: tread lightly and survive. But this year’s getaway—a lavish villa in the remote Italian village of Monteperso—might make that impossible. Between her passive twin, overbearing sister, judgmental mother, and self-satisfied father, Anna’s barely holding it together. Then come the strange sounds at night, the warnings from the locals, and whispers of the villa’s bloody history.
What begins as another painful family trip twists into something far darker, where ghosts and grudges blur together and no one escapes unscathed.
Jennifer Marie Thorne’s Diavola is a wickedly funny, beautifully unhinged haunted-house tale about family, isolation, and the monsters we inherit. A USA Today bestseller and Esquire pick for Best Horror Books of 2024, it’s as unsettling as it is sharp.

Our take
In 1918, Annie befriends the wrong girl—and when Elsie dies, her ghost returns for revenge.

About the book
When Annie starts at her new school in 1918, she’s eager to make friends. But Elsie, a strange, clingy girl with a cruel streak, won’t take no for an answer. Desperate to fit in, Annie joins the other girls in mocking Elsie—until the influenza epidemic sweeps through town and claims her life.
Now Elsie’s ghost is back, and she’s not done with Annie. What begins as whispers and shadows becomes a relentless haunting fueled by anger, loneliness, and betrayal. Annie wanted friendship. What she gets is payback from beyond the grave.
Set against the chilling backdrop of the 1918 flu, Mary Downing Hahn’s One for Sorrow is a haunting tale of guilt, ghosts, and the price of cruelty. A modern classic of middle-grade horror.

Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms: for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Hukai’po, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear—and even follow you home.
These wholly original and shiver-inducing tales introduce readers to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge. Introduced and contextualized by bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones, these stories are a celebration of Indigenous peoples’ survival and imagination, and a glorious reveling in all the things an ill-advised whistle might summon.
