Gone Girl: A Novel
After
Description
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy’s diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer?

The Fire Seekers
“RIVETING,
Description
The time of our immortality is at hand.
An undeciphered language in Crete. A rash of mysterious disappearances, from Bolivia to Japan. An ancient warning at the ruins of Babel. And a new spiritual leader, who claims that human history as we understand it is about to come to an end.
Seventeen-year-old Daniel Calder’s world falls apart when a freak accident brings personal tragedy—and he discovers there’s a link between the accident and a wildly successful new cult, the Seraphim. Catapulted into a violent struggle for humanity’s past and future, he’s not even sure who the enemy is, or if he’s battling a phantom that doesn’t exist. But as Daniel puts his life on the line, he is forced to conclude that our very survival as a species will depend on who, and what, we choose to believe.

Dangerous Waters (Sisters in Blood Book 1)
If
Description
For Emily Waters, a nature-loving, small-town girl with an overprotective father, heading off to Boston University to study conservation biology is a dream come true—until a chance encounter catapults her into a mythical world she’d do anything to escape.
The latest victim in a rash of abductions near campus, Emily is brutally attacked before being rescued by a powerful new friend. She survives the ordeal, only to find herself held captive and presented with an impossible choice.
While preparing for the unimaginable life she must now embrace, clues soon emerge that Emily may not be entirely human, and her physical transformation awakens goddess-like powers that her new family cannot begin to explain.
Dealing with her human first love, the not-so-platonic relationship with her coven "sister," and her new vampire sort-of-boyfriend further complicates matters, not to mention being secretly hunted by the psychopaths who attacked her. And as the only known offspring of a once all-powerful race, the climactic battle is just the beginning of her journey.

Zen Pussy Riot: Volume Three of The Canvas Sextet
Looking
Description
Zen Pussy Riot is the third volume of The Canvas Sextet series of three-minute short stories by Miles White, who is emerging as a prolific stylist of the still emerging genre of contemporary flash fiction. The 50 provocative, insightful, darkly comic and often tragic stories in the new collection – a follow up to Jesus Loves You But Not Today and Download the Moon – are bold, eclectic, sumptuously diverse and compellingly engaging, playing on the edges of the profane and the profound. “Love Potion Number 10” imagines a woman’s worst date night. “Radiance” is a macabre end to a woman’s troubled quest for racial beauty. “Night and Day” is a waking nightmare that blurs reality and the dream world. “When I’m Alone I Cry” is a brutal meditation on self-torture and the disillusionment felt by many Gen-X youth in America, while “|The Way You Move” re-imagines the dynamics of the wedding night when the bride takes charge of the marriage bed.
Like the previous two volumes, Zen Pussy Riot is unsparing and relentless in its exploration of the absurdities of day-to-day lives often lived on the margins, the vagaries of the human heart, and the contradictions of human desire. The stories are written with an intensity of language and storytelling that makes reading them both hypnotic and highly entertaining.
More about the series as well as commentary on the stories can be found on the author’s blog: http://www.thecanvassextet.com.
