“This is mind-blowingly good. A horror novel that will keep you awake long after you turn the last page.”—Stephen King

A VULTURE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
It’s the winter of 1975, and Portland, Oregon, is all sleet and neon. Duane Minor is back home after a tour in Vietnam, a bartender just trying to stay sober; save his marriage with his wife, Heidi; and connect with his thirteen-year-old niece, Julia, now that he’s responsible for raising her. Things aren’t easy, but Minor is scraping by.
Then a vampire walks into his bar and ruins his life.
When Minor crosses John Varley, a killer who sleeps during the day beneath loose drifts of earth and grows teeth in the light of the moon, Varley brutally retaliates by murdering Heidi, leaving Minor broken with guilt and Julia filled with rage. What’s left of their splintered family is united by only one desire: vengeance.
So begins a furious, frenzied pursuit across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. From grimy alleyways to desolate highways to snow-lashed plains, Minor and Julia are cast into the dark orbit of undead children, silver bullet casters, and the bevy of broken men transfixed by Varley’s ferocity. Everyone’s out for blood.
Gritty, unforgettable, and emotionally devastating, Coffin Moon asks what will be left of our humanity when grief transmutes into violence, when monsters wear human faces, and when our thirst for revenge eclipses everything else.

What We Sacrifice for Magic
Literary Fiction · Horror · Magical Realism · Occult Horror
Our take
A family’s magic sustains a town, but it also fixes the future of every woman born into it. In 1968 Minnesota, Elisabeth Watry-Ridder stands at the edge of adulthood, expected to inherit her grandmother’s power, her role, and her sacrifices. As long-buried truths surface, What We Sacrifice for Magic explores generational magic, inherited obligation, and the cost of choosing a life of one’s own.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Perfect for fans of Practical Magic and The Lager Queen of Minnesota: a coming-of-age novel following three generations of witches in the 1960s, this enchanting and heartwarming debut explores the importance of family and the delight and heartbreak of discovering who you truly are.
It’s 1968, and the Watry-Ridder family is feared and respected in equal measure. The local farmers seek out their water charms, and the teenagers, their love spells. The family’s charms and spells, passed down through generations of witches descending from the Black Forest, have long served the small town of Friedrich, Minnesota.
Eldest daughter Elisabeth has just graduated high school—she is expected to hone her supernatural abilities to take over for her grandmother, the indomitable Magda. She’s also expected to marry her high school sweetheart and live the rest of her life in Friedrich. But all she can ask is, why her? Why is her path set in stone, and what else might be out there for her?
She soon discovers that magic isn’t the only thing inherited in her family. That magic also comes with a great price—and a big family secret. The more she digs, the more questions she has, and the less she trusts the grandmother she thought she knew. Who is Elisabeth without her family? She must ultimately decide what she’s willing to sacrifice for her family, for their secrets and their magic, or risk it all to pave her own way.
Navigating the bittersweet tension between self-discovery and living up to familial expectations, What We Sacrifice for Magic is a touching look at coming into one’s own.

About the book
An unrelenting horror ride that pays homage to final girls, slasher films, and cosmic small-town horror.
A town divided. An unknowable evil. Actually, make that two evils.
Seventeen years after Jamie stared into the face of evil during a freak mass murder in her small town, she’s still fighting the stigma of being one of the only survivors left to recount—and relive—the nightmare.
The body of the Silver Fox killer, her boyfriend Zane, was never recovered, leading many to question whether he really was the perpetrator.
Now the sheriff of Creed Falls, Jamie has spent her life preparing her daughter Claire for monsters. The Silver Fox is one she thought she’d never see again.
When a glowing meteorite smashes into a neighbor’s yard, and someone wearing a chrome Silver Fox mask starts terrorizing the camp again on the tragic anniversary, there’s nowhere left to run and hide. To make matters worse, a mysterious disease is spreading through town, infecting neighbors and turning them into monsters.
Award-winning, bestselling horror master Jon Cohn is at his peak—drenched in nostalgia, The Creed Falls Massacres is perfect for fans of the Halloween movies, Friday the 13th, and every badass female protagonist that graced silver screens over the last three decades.

About the book
From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Witching Savannah series comes the story of a young witch’s quest to uncover her family’s terrifying history...
Magic is seeping out of the world, leaving the witches who’ve relied on it for countless centuries increasingly hopeless. While some see an inevitable end of their era, others are courting madness—willing to sacrifice former allies, friends, and family to retain the power they covet. While the other witches watch their reality unravel, young Alice Marin is using magic’s waning days to delve into the mystery of numerous disappearances in the occult circles of New Orleans. Alice disappeared once, too—caged in an asylum by blood relatives. Recently freed, she fears her family may be more involved with the growing crisis than she ever dared imagine.
Yet the more she seeks the truth about her family’s troubled history, the more she realizes her already-fragile psyche may be at risk. Discovering the cause of the vanishings, though, could be the only way to escape her mother’s reach while determining the future of all witches.

About the book
"Chris Sorensen summons a motley ensemble of psychics for a seance to end all seances. The Haunting of Sorrow's Leap is a testament to the supernatural fact that it's not only the ghosts you need to worry about conjuring up at Utter Hall, but the shadows hidden within the darkest corners of us all." — Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes
Ellen Marx used to talk to the dead. Now they’re ghosting her. With her psychic gifts on the fritz, she’s been demoted to hawking discount crystals at third-rate paranormal conventions. But when she inadvertently solves a supernatural challenge at New Jersey’s Hooky Spooky Convention, she catches the eye of the event’s reclusive sponsor: a washed-up horror author with a haunted mansion in need of a serious cleansing.
Reluctantly, Ellen joins his ragtag crew of psychic misfits (a near-death survivor, a paranormal tech bro, and a woman who may or may not be possessed) to investigate the mystery lurking inside his crumbling Hudson Valley estate.
But as the haunting escalates, Ellen realizes that to uncover the truth behind the manifestation, she must first confront some ghosts of her own…
From the bestselling author of The Nightmare Room comes a darkly humorous journey into a haunted heart.
