Psychiatrist meets possession—and becomes a believer.
Demonic Foes
Horror · Occult Horror
Our take
Psychiatrist meets possession—and becomes a believer. In Demonic Foes, Dr. Richard Gallagher recounts 25 years of real cases involving exorcisms, diabolic attacks, and unexplainable phenomena.

About the book
A psychiatrist steps into the shadows—and discovers evil isn’t always imaginary.
Dr. Richard Gallagher never expected his medical career to lead him into exorcisms. But when a no-nonsense priest asked for help with a woman claiming possession, Gallagher’s scientific worldview cracked. She spoke languages she’d never studied, revealed secrets she couldn’t have known, and displayed strength far beyond the laws of nature.
This wasn’t mental illness. It was something else entirely.
Over 25 years, Gallagher became the world’s foremost psychiatric authority on possession, consulted by clergy of all faiths. In Demonic Foes, he shares his most chilling cases—from spirit-chosen children to once-in-a-century possessions—offering a rare, rational voice inside the paranormal.
Forget fiction. These true accounts will test what you believe about evil, sanity, and the supernatural.

About the book
Two sisters raised in fear are about to find out why in a chilling novel of psychological suspense from the author of The Thinnest Air.
Ignorant of civilization and cautioned against its evils, nineteen-year-old Wren and her two sisters, Sage and Evie, were raised in off-the-grid isolation in a primitive cabin in upstate New York. When the youngest grows gravely ill, their mother leaves with the child to get help from a nearby town. And they never return.
As months pass, hope vanishes. Supplies are low. Livestock are dying. A brutal winter is bearing down. Then comes the stranger. He claims to be looking for the girls’ mother, and he’s not leaving without them.
To escape, Wren and her sister must break the rule they’ve grown up with: never go beyond the forest.
Past the thicket of dread, they come upon a house on the other side of the pines. This is where Wren and Sage must confront something more chilling than the unknowable. They’ll discover what’s been hidden from them, what they’re running from, and the secrets that have left them in the dark their entire lives.

Suburban life, true crime obsession, and one deeply unwelcome houseguest collide in The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires.
The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires
Horror · Thriller
Our take
Suburban life, true crime obsession, and one deeply unwelcome houseguest collide in The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires. When Patricia Campbell starts to suspect the charming new man in town is behind a string of disappearances, no one wants to believe her, which is exactly what makes this story hit so hard. Equal parts horror, satire, and righteous female rage, this is a creepy, blood-soaked read about friendship, gaslighting, and what happens when polite society invites in a monster.

About the book
“This funny and fresh take on a classic tale manages to comment on gender roles, racial disparities, and white privilege all while creeping me all the way out. So good.”—Zakiya Dalila Harris, author of The Other Black Girl
Steel Magnolias meets Dracula in this New York Times best-selling horror novel about a women's book club that must do battle with a mysterious newcomer to their small Southern town.
Bonus features:
• Reading group guide for book clubs
• Hand-drawn map of Mt. Pleasant
• Annotated true-crime reading list by Grady Hendrix
• And more!
Patricia Campbell’s life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she’s always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they’re as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are about their own families.
One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor's handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn’t felt in years. But when children on the other side of town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind—and Patricia has already invited him in.
Little by little, James will insinuate himself into Patricia’s life and try to take everything she took for granted—including the book club—but she won’t surrender without a fight in this blood-soaked tale of neighborly kindness gone wrong.

Our take
Danger arrives before trust does, and attraction feels like the most reckless choice of all.

About the book
A close proximity, single-parent stand-alone romance from NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson about a woman on the run and the man who will do anything to save her...
Jud Lawson found me stranded in the rain.
Broken down on the side of the road in a deserted neighborhood with my piece of crap car.
I wasn’t looking for a hero, and definitely not one who looks like him.
An obscenely hot, mountain-of-a-man who screams danger.
But I have little choice other than climbing onto the back of his bike.
One look at Salem Aguilar, and I’m hooked.
The girl is devastation wrapped in a black, seductive bow.
A knockout.
A dream.
Turns out, she needs a job, and I need the help.
Now I have a vixen strutting around my shop, and I’m the fool who’s itching to reach out and take what he can’t have.
But neither of us can ignore the burning attraction.
The fire that leads to a kiss.
A kiss that has us falling into my bed.
The connection that has me wanting the one thing I’d never thought I could have again.
Because monsters like me don’t deserve love.
Only Salem has a secret, too.
She’s been running for years, and her past just caught up to us…

Steelheart
Sci-Fi · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
In Steelheart, Brandon Sanderson unleashes a dystopian thrill ride where superpowered tyrants rule and rebellion is deadly.

Choose your retailer
About the book
What if the world’s new rulers were superpowered—and evil?
Ten years ago, Steelheart destroyed Chicago, murdered David’s father, and proved that no one with powers—Epics—could be trusted. Now, the city lies in ruins under his tyrannical rule, renamed Newcago, a place where fear is law and resistance is suicide.
But David isn’t afraid. He’s spent a decade studying Epics—especially Steelheart—and he’s discovered something others refuse to believe: the invincible can bleed.
To bring Steelheart down, David must join the Reckoners, a secret group waging war against the Epics. He has the knowledge. They have the firepower. Together, they might have a chance.
But as they close in, David will face questions that challenge everything he believes—because sometimes vengeance isn’t as simple as justice.

About the book
A secret agent aboard a galactic railroad must derail a sinister conspiracy in this "rip-roaring" thriller by the #1 bestselling author of Star Wars: Thrawn (Publishers Weekly).
Hugo Award–Winning Author
The universe is a dangerous place, a fact violently brought home to Frank Compton for perhaps the thousandth time when a stranger delivering a message dies right in front of him. An operative for Western Alliance Intelligence until his whistle-blowing activities got him fired, Compton is now being sought out by the Spiders, the robotic alien beings responsible for the upkeep and operation of the Quadrail transportation system, which connects the galaxy's twelve inhabited empires. The discovery of a sinister plot to use the Quadrail for ill has brought the Spiders to Compton—for only someone possessing the former agent's unique skills can stop the scheme for good.
But when Compton leaves Earth behind—joining forces with Bayta, the Spiders' beautiful, half-human representative aboard the Quadrail—the terrifying scope of a vast, galaxy-wide conspiracy begins to reveal itself. Targeted on all sides by alien assassins of every shape and species, Compton and his enigmatic new partner are suddenly in a race against a clock ticking down to an irreversible doomsday, one in which the galactic night train will derail, carrying all members of humanity screaming to their deaths.
The first in the Quadrail series from the Hugo Award–winning author of Blackcollar and many New York Times–bestselling Star Wars novels, Night Train to Rigel is an action-packed "great read" (Booklist).
