About the book
One OSHA violation. One misstep. One-way ticket to the apocalypse.
Sean Lawrence’s day was already garbage before a freak accident catapulted him into the monster-ridden, chaos-scorched future of Earth. Think dragon-filled wastelands, spike-shooting lizards, divine gnats with tempers, and morally upright battle bunnies. Yep. It’s that kind of end times.
Armed with nothing but a sketchy guidebook, a scavenged knife, and a maybe-magical leather jacket, Sean faces a brutal world where everyone else has a head start. But instead of laying low and gathering rat pelts like a sane person, he goes full tilt into survival—with a side of rebellion.
How to Survive at the End of the World is an adrenaline-fueled Apocalypse LitRPG for fans of wild worlds, unconventional power-ups, and heroes who definitely wing it.

The apocalypse is already here in Glimmering, and it is every bit as strange, feverish, and unnerving as that sounds.
Glimmering
Dystopian
Our take
The apocalypse is already here in Glimmering, and it is every bit as strange, feverish, and unnerving as that sounds. Elizabeth Hand mixes climate disaster, plague, addiction, faith, and decay into a dystopian story that feels part literary nightmare, part psychedelic thriller, as two very different men get pulled toward a dark force shaping whatever comes next. Bleak, weird, and vividly imagined, this one leans fully into end-of-the-world chaos without playing it safe.

About the book
"If Stephen King set out to rewrite The Waste Land as a novel, the result might resemble Glimmering." —The Washington Post
Climate change, rampant viruses, blackouts, fundamentalists—the end of the end has arrived. Glimmering, the 1994 dystopian novel by Nebula and World Fantasy Award–winning author Elizabeth Hand, is now timelier than ever.
When the confluence of a solar storm and the collapse of the Antarctic ice shelf ignites the atmosphere like grease, those who are able hide behind their walls and masks, seeking the promise of a seductive—and dangerous—future. As the earth erupts in flames, department store heir and editor Jack Finnegan faces his own inevitable death from AIDS in his family's decrepit mansion near the Hudson River—that is, until an old friend offers him a miraculous cure . . .
Christian singer Trip Marlowe has found worldwide success, but the dynamic rock star retains his strict morality and faith. Temptation comes in the form of a mysterious blond waif and IZE, a new drug more addictive than crack and heroin . . .
The two men will find themselves on a bizarre collision course as a dark and powerful force seeks to shape what's left of humanity's consciousness.
"A brutal vision of Apocalypse . . . Hand's powerful vision of these days of wrath is not so much a protracted self-pitying whisper as a Nietzschean insistence on salvation through creative evolution." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"[A] wild, psychedelic, thoughtful thriller . . . Another dynamite read!" —The Des Moines Register

With praise from the New York Times and comparisons to Douglas Adams, this razor-sharp spoof is a must-read for fans of absurd adventure and social satire.
The Game of X
Thriller
Our take
Meet Agent X: the world’s most incompetent spy with a dangerously inflated ego. In The Game of X, sci-fi satirist Robert Sheckley delivers a hilarious send-up of Cold War espionage. With praise from the New York Times and comparisons to Douglas Adams, this razor-sharp spoof is a must-read for fans of absurd adventure and social satire. Read it now!

About the book
When mild-mannered William Nye stumbles into espionage, he doesn't just play the game—he rewrites the rules.
Recruited by accident and promoted by misunderstanding, Nye is quickly christened Agent X: international spy extraordinaire (at least on paper). In truth, he knows nothing about espionage, but that doesn't stop him from bluffing his way through secret missions, dangerous double-crosses, and outlandish covert schemes.
In the hands of sci-fi satirist Robert Sheckley—praised as “a precursor to Douglas Adams”—this spy caper explodes with dry wit, absurd twists, and hilarious commentary on bureaucracy, bravado, and bumbling heroes.
Part James Bond spoof, part sci-fi send-up, The Game of X is a clever cold war romp for fans of madcap misadventures and genre-bending brilliance.

About the book
A Buzzfeed Best Gift Book of the Year
"A dark, atmospheric, and feminist story of three women in New York City's Gilded Age, each determined to thrive in a society hell-bent on keeping them down, and using their coven to do so." —Buzzfeed
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
Respectable Lady Seeks Dependable Shop Girl. Those averse to magic need not apply.
New York in the spring of 1880 is a place alive with wonder and curiosity. In this captivating Gilded Age historical fantasy, residents enthusiastically engage in both scientific experimentation and spiritualist pursuits. Séances are the entertainment of choice in exclusive social circles, and many enterprising women—some possessed of true intuitive powers, and some gifted with the art of performance—find work as mediums.
Enter Adelaide Thom and Eleanor St. Clair. At their humble teashop, Tea and Sympathy, they provide a place for whispered confessions, secret cures, and spiritual assignations for a select coven of ladies, who speak the right words and ask the right questions. But the profile of Tea and Sympathy is about to change with the fortuitous arrival of Beatrice Dunn.
When seventeen-year-old Beatrice leaves the safety of her village to answer an ad that reads "Respectable Lady Seeks Dependable Shop Girl. Those averse to magic need not apply," she has little inclination of what the job will demand of her. Beatrice doesn’t know it yet, but she is no ordinary small-town girl; she has great spiritual gifts—ones that will serve as her greatest asset and also place her in grave danger. Under the tutelage of Adelaide and Eleanor, Beatrice comes to harness many of her powers, but not even they can prepare her for the occult evils lurking in the darkest corners of the city or the courage it will take to face them.

About the book
It started as one wild night with his brothers—and ended in a curse.

About the book
The autopsy says heart attack. The ex-wife says murder. And three retired schoolteachers say—let’s investigate.
When Neville Hilton dies suddenly, no one in the village suspects foul play… except his ex-wife. Certain the glamorous new Mrs. Hilton had something to do with it, she ropes in Pat, Liz, and Thelma—three old friends with sharp minds, warm tea, and an uncanny knack for uncovering secrets.
As they poke into village gossip, ancient grudges, and the ruins of a long-forgotten scandal, the trio finds more skeletons than they bargained for—and someone who would kill to keep them buried.
With wit, warmth, and a touch of scandal, A Brush with Death is a pitch-perfect British cosy mystery for fans of Richard Osman and Midsomer Murders.

About the book
I lost him once. I won’t lose him again.
When Devin calls, it’s like hearing a ghost. Years ago, we were everything to each other—until addiction and darkness tore him away. Now he’s back, raw and broken, and I’ll do anything to help him heal.
But watching the boy I once loved claw his way through withdrawal is agony. My feelings for him are far from brotherly now, and the line between protector and lover blurs with every touch, every whispered memory.
Yet Devin’s past is not done with him. And when danger strikes again, I’ll fight like hell to keep him safe.
Seeking Sanctuary is a gut-wrenching, beautifully told MM romance about second chances, healing, and love that refuses to let go.

About the book
A GRIPPING HISTORICAL THRILLER SET IN INVERNESS IN THE WAKE OF THE 1746 BATTLE OF CULLODEN.
'This slice of historical fiction takes you on a wild ride' THE TIMES
After Culloden, Iain MacGillivray was left for dead on Drummossie Moor. Wounded, his face brutally slashed, he survived only by pretending to be dead as the Redcoats patrolled the corpses of his Jacobite comrades.
Six years later, with the clan chiefs routed and the Highlands subsumed into the British state, Iain lives a quiet life, working as a bookseller in Inverness. One day, after helping several of his regular customers, he notices a stranger lurking in the upper gallery of his shop, poring over his collection. But the man refuses to say what he's searching for and only leaves when Iain closes for the night.
The next morning Iain opens up shop and finds the stranger dead, his throat cut, and the murder weapon laid out in front of him - a sword with a white cockade on its hilt, the emblem of the Jacobites. With no sign of the killer, Iain wonders whether the stranger discovered what he was looking for - and whether he paid for it with his life. He soon finds himself embroiled in a web of deceit and a series of old scores to be settled in the ashes of war.

“Pooley weaves together the most cleverly flawed and lovable characters and then sets them free to prove that we are limitless at any age.” —Annabel Monaghan, bestselling author of Summer Romance
A senior citizens’ center and a daycare collide with hilarious results in the new ensemble comedy from New York Times-bestselling author Clare Pooley
When Lydia takes a job running the Senior Citizens’ Social Club three afternoons a week, she assumes she’ll be spending her time drinking tea and playing gentle games of cards.
The members of the Social Club, however, are not at all what Lydia was expecting. From Art, a failed actor turned kleptomaniac to Daphne, who has been hiding from her dark past for decades to Ruby, a Banksy-style knitter who gets revenge in yarn, these seniors look deceptively benign—but when age makes you invisible, secrets are so much easier to hide.
When the city council threatens to sell the doomed community center building, the members of the Social Club join forces with their tiny friends in the daycare next door—as well as the teenaged father of one of the toddlers and a geriatric dog—to save the building. Together, this group’s unorthodox methods may actually work, as long as the police don’t catch up with them first.

About the book
Beckett Gray thinks the world just ended. His car won’t start, his phone is dead, and the forest around the Appalachian Trail feels eerily quiet. An EMP? That’s the only explanation.
Until it isn’t.
Beckett and a handful of fellow hikers soon realize the truth is far stranger—and far more terrifying. They haven’t lost power. They’ve lost time. Five hundred years, to be exact.
Now stranded in a brutal, pre-modern world, they must fight to survive in a time that wants them dead. No shelter. No tech. No welcome. Just raw nature, hostile locals, and a past that refuses to let them go.
Is it still survival if history itself is trying to kill you?
