The Saints of Swallow Hill
Literary Fiction · Historical Fiction
Our take
In 1930s North Carolina, Rae Lynn Cobb’s life shatters after tragedy forces her to flee, disguised as a man. Seeking refuge in Swallow Hill, a brutal Georgia turpentine camp, she finds allies in Cornelia, trapped in an abusive marriage, and Del Reese, seeking redemption.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Where the Crawdads Sing meets The Four Winds as award-winning author Donna Everhart's latest novel immerses readers in its unique setting—the turpentine camps and pine forests of the American South during the Great Depression. This captivating story of friendship, survival, and three vagabonds' intersecting lives will stay with readers long after turning the final page.
It takes courage to save yourself...
In the dense pine forests of North Carolina, turpentiners labor, hacking into tree trunks to draw out the sticky sap that gives the Tar Heel State its nickname, and hauling the resin to stills to be refined. Among them is Rae Lynn Cobb and her husband, Warren, who run a small turpentine farm together.
Though the work is hard and often dangerous, Rae Lynn, who spent her childhood in an orphanage, is thankful for it--and for her kind if careless husband. When Warren falls victim to his own negligence, Rae Lynn undertakes a desperate act of mercy. To keep herself from jail, she disguises herself as a man named "Ray" and heads to the only place she can think of that might offer anonymity--a turpentine camp in Georgia named Swallow Hill.
Swallow Hill is no easy haven. The camp is isolated and squalid, and commissary owner Otis Riddle takes out his frustrations on his browbeaten wife, Cornelia. Although Rae Lynn works tirelessly, she becomes a target for Crow, the ever-watchful woods rider who checks each laborer's tally. Delwood Reese, who's come to Swallow Hill hoping for his own redemption, offers "Ray" a small measure of protection, and is determined to improve their conditions. As Rae Lynn forges a deeper friendship with both Del and Cornelia, she begins to envision a path out of the camp. But she will have to come to terms with her past, with all its pain and beauty, before she can open herself to a new life and seize the chance to begin again.

Outcasts with strange abilities begin to form something far greater than themselves.
More Than Human
Sci-Fi · Hard Sci-Fi · Speculative Fiction
Our take
Outcasts with strange abilities begin to form something far greater than themselves. In More Than Human, a group of isolated individuals with extraordinary psychic powers gradually unite into a single shared consciousness known as the Gestalt. When a brilliant but deeply troubled newcomer joins them, their fragile balance fractures, turning this classic science fiction novel into a tense exploration of evolution, morality, and what it means to become more than human.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Six misfits, one powerful entity. An award-winning novel about belonging by "one of the greatest writers of science fiction and fantasy who ever lived" (Stephen King).
Individually, they are a seemingly simpleminded young man living in the woods who can read the thoughts of others, a runaway girl with telekinetic powers, twin girls who can barely speak but can teleport across great distances, and an infant with a mind like a supercomputer. Together, they are the Gestalt—a single extraordinary being comprised of remarkable parts—although an essential piece may be missing . . .
But are they the next stage in human development or harbingers of the end of civilization? The answer may come when they are joined by Gerry. Powerfully telepathic, he lacks a moral compass—and his hatred of the world that has rejected him could prove catastrophic.
Winner of the International Fantasy Award and considered Theodore Sturgeon's masterpiece, More Than Human is a genre-bending wonder that explores themes of responsibility and morality, individuality, and belonging. Moving and suspenseful, lyrical and provocative, the novel was one of the first to elevate science fiction into the realm of literature, and inspired musicians and artists, including the Grateful Dead and Crosby, Stills and Nash.
From the Nebula Award–winning author of Godbody, The Dreaming Jewels, and other great works of science fiction, this is an unforgettable reading experience and a must for anyone who enjoys Ramsey Campbell, Robert Silverberg, or Philip José Farmer.

New:
Get ready for a darkly seductive ride with How Does It Feel?, the addictive first book in Jeneane O'Riley’s Infatuated Fae series.

Mistaken for an assassin, she’s thrown into three deadly trials that push her limits—and spark a forbidden chemistry she definitely didn’t see coming. This TikTok favorite is a spellbinding enemies-to-lovers romp packed with fantasy, danger, and plenty of steam. Who’s crossing the portal first?

Rian, bound by duty and haunted by obsession, offers Kaia a deal: face three perilous trials, or meet certain death. Yet, his growing fixation on this human threatens his already precarious throne.
Each trial pushes Kaia closer to uncovering the truth behind Rian’s hatred—and her own unexplainable connection to him. But as court politics unravel, betrayal lurks in every shadow.
If Kaia wins, she escapes. If she fails, the Unseelie prince might lose more than his kingdom. Could she destroy him before he destroys her?

About the book
He’s her boss. She’s his greatest temptation.
The first time I met Dawson Reed, I woke up next to him in bed. A stranger. In my cabin. I attacked him, of course, only to find out he wasn’t an intruder—he’d rented the cabin, too. A booking glitch, apparently.
Then I learned the tall, dark, and jaw-droppingly gorgeous man was Dawson Reed: the groomsman I’d been warned about. The one I was destined to hate. And thanks to a fully booked holiday weekend, we were stuck sharing the cabin.
I thought I’d never see him again after that. But fate has other plans, and Dawson turns out to be my new boss. Now I have to navigate a job—and my feelings—for the man I was supposed to despise.
