About the book
For a brilliant forensic linguist, crimes of the past hold clues to new series of murders in a twisting novel of suspense by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of A Familiar Sight.
The double murder of a married couple in a small Washington town draws FBI forensic linguist Raisa Susanto into an investigation that mirrors a decades-old crime. Twenty-five years ago—to the day—Alex Parker murdered his parents, then took his own life, leaving behind a note admitting everything.
Raisa, paired with forensic psychologist Callum Kilkenny, uses her skills to read between the lines. Especially now that paranoid postings on a conspiracy thread suggest that Alex was a victim himself—theories that have piqued the interest of a perceptive content moderator and a true-crime podcaster eager for a big break.
As old and new crimes converge, messages from the living and the confessions of the dead take on new meaning for Raisa. Something more sinister than a copycat crime is at play, and plundering the darkest corners of a killer’s mind leaves her vulnerable to a deadly twist even she never saw coming.

About the book
The ones that got away reunite at a big Italian wedding in this second-chance romance from debut author Ali Rosen, the James Beard Award–nominated writer and host of Potluck with Ali Rosen.
Stella Park is elated to celebrate her best friend’s wedding in the Italian countryside—and maybe she also needs this escape from her personal and her professional life. Writing recipes for a living isn’t all it’s cooked up to be.
But the revelry is short lived when she runs into the ex she hasn’t seen since she broke his heart ten years ago, Samuel Gordon. As her past gets propelled to the forefront, Stella tries not to question the choices she made a decade ago.
When Stella and Samuel keep getting pushed together during a weekend filled with delectable food, Indian and Italian wedding traditions, and unplanned detours in gorgeous locales, she attempts to ignore that maybe he really was the one that got away.
Playing it safe has always been Stella’s dependable rule book. But maybe Samuel is worth the risk—and perhaps some love stories just need more time to marinate.

The battle will demand more than spells and strength. It will test family bonds, shake loyalties, and force each Raintree to decide who they are willing to protect and what they are willing to risk.
Because destiny never stays buried forever.

Our take
Michel Faber’s The Book of Strange New Things is a profound blend of science fiction and spiritual meditation. Called “a masterpiece” by David Mitchell, it follows Peter, a missionary sent across galaxies, even as his wife struggles on a collapsing Earth.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Peter is a man of faith, chosen for the mission of a lifetime. His calling takes him across galaxies, far from his wife Bea, to a world where the native population hungers for his teachings. To them, his Bible is the “book of strange new things.”
The planet is strange but welcoming. The work is vital. Yet as Peter grows closer to his congregation, Bea’s letters from Earth become increasingly dire. Natural disasters, collapsing governments, and crumbling faith plague a world falling apart. The distance between them grows wider with every message.
Torn between devotion to his mission and love for his wife, Peter faces a choice no scripture can resolve. This is a story of faith, sacrifice, and love stretched to breaking.

Our take
Peter Clines’ 14 is a genre-bending thriller packed with locked doors, hidden mysteries, and cosmic dread. When Nate and his neighbors begin uncovering the secrets of their strange Los Angeles apartment building, they realize the puzzles stretch back a century—and may threaten reality itself. With a 4.4 out of 5 stars rating, this cult favorite delivers chills.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Nate’s new apartment is cheap, conveniently located, and… strange.
The padlocked doors, odd wiring, and mutant cockroaches should bother him more than they do, but Nate has bigger worries. His job is miserable, his bank account is empty, and his future feels nonexistent. For now, the quirks of the building are just background noise.
Until he starts comparing notes with his neighbors. Mandy. Xela. Tim. Veek. Each apartment hides secrets that don’t add up. The further they dig into the building’s history, the stranger—and more impossible—the discoveries become.
What begins as curiosity spirals into something catastrophic. Because the mysteries of this Los Angeles brownstone don’t just threaten Nate and his friends. Solving them could unravel reality itself. And the clock is already ticking.

About the book
Inception meets True Detective in this science fiction thriller of spellbinding tension and staggering scope that follows a special agent into a savage murder case with grave implications for the fate of mankind...
“I promise you have never read a story like this.”—Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter
Shannon Moss is part of a clandestine division within the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. In western Pennsylvania, 1997, she is assigned to solve the murder of a Navy SEAL's family—and to locate his vanished teenage daughter. Though she can't share the information with conventional law enforcement, Moss discovers that the missing SEAL was an astronaut aboard the spaceship U.S.S. Libra—a ship assumed lost to the currents of Deep Time. Moss knows first-hand the mental trauma of time-travel and believes the SEAL's experience with the future has triggered this violence.
Determined to find the missing girl and driven by a troubling connection from her own past, Moss travels ahead in time to explore possible versions of the future, seeking evidence to crack the present-day case. To her horror, the future reveals that it's not only the fate of a family that hinges on her work, for what she witnesses rising over time's horizon and hurtling toward the present is the Terminus: the terrifying and cataclysmic end of humanity itself.
Luminous and unsettling, The Gone World bristles with world-shattering ideas yet remains at its heart an intensely human story.

Memory becomes a battleground in a world where the most dangerous threats erase themselves as they strike.
There Is No Antimemetics Division
Sci-Fi · Horror · Cosmic Horror · Eldritch Horror · Techno-Thriller
Our take
Memory becomes a battleground in a world where the most dangerous threats erase themselves as they strike. There Is No Antimemetics Division follows the people trying to contain entities that devour identity, perception, and reality itself, even as the evidence keeps vanishing around them. This is cerebral science-fiction horror with existential dread, formal ingenuity, and the unnerving feeling that something vital has already been lost.

About the book
They’re all around us, hiding in plain sight.
One could be in the room with you now, just to your left. You could be seeing it right now—but from this second to the next, you’ll forget that you did. If you managed to jot down a note, the paper would look blank to you afterward.
These entities can feed on your most cherished memories, the things that make you you—and you’ll never even know anything changed.
They can turn you into a living ghost—make it so you’re standing next to your spouse, screaming in their ear, and they won’t know you’re there.
They’re predators equipped with the ultimate camouflage, living black holes for information, able to consume our very memories of their existence.
And they aren’t just feeding on us. They’re invading.
But how do you fight an enemy when you can never even know that you’re at war? How do you contain something you can’t record or remember?
Welcome to the Antimemetics Division.
No, this is not your first day.

Our take
Called “one of the three greatest horror novels of the 20th century” by Stephen King, Dan Simmons’ Carrion Comfort is a genre-defining masterpiece. From Nazi death camps to secret societies of psychic predators, it reshapes history into a nightmare of violence and control. With a 4.4 out of 5 stars rating, this classic of dark fantasy and horror still chills.
Choose your retailer
About the book
In Carrion Comfort, horror is both timeless and terrifying.
Saul Laski should have died in Chelmno extermination camp. Instead, he encounters an evil older than the Nazis themselves—an evil that manipulates human minds, feeding on violence and cruelty. The psychic predators behind history’s darkest acts can subjugate, control, and kill through others, leaving humanity as nothing more than pawns.
Decades later, Saul’s survival becomes obsession. He hunts the hidden society whose annual gatherings spark chaos across the globe. But this time, something has gone wrong. Enemies clash, alliances fracture, and the secret war spills into the open.
Dan Simmons delivers a monumental tale of predator and prey, where the darkest monsters are not supernatural alone—they are human hunger, sharpened to a deadly edge.

Alone in the dark is one thing.
Ship of Fools
Sci-Fi · Alien Invasion · First Contact
Our take
Alone in the dark is one thing. Following a signal toward something far worse is another. In Ship of Fools, the generation ship Argonos drifts through deep space until a transmission leads its crew to the remains of a ruined colony and a mystery that only grows more disturbing the closer they get. A bleak, unsettling sci-fi horror story with theological weight and creeping dread.
