  They’re feeding on you too. 
    
  A father returns from serving in Vietnam with a strange and terrifying addiction; a man removes something horrifying from his fireplace, and becomes desperate to return it; and a right-wing news channel has its hooks in people in more ways than one.  
    
  From department store Santas to ghost boyfriends and salamander-worshipping nuns, from the claustrophobia of the COVID-19 pandemic to small-town Chesapeake USA, Clay McLeod Chapman takes universal fears of parenthood, addiction and political divisions and makes them uniquely his own.  
    
  Packed full of humanity, humour and, above all, relentless creeping dread, Acquired Taste is a timely descent into the mind of one of modern horror’s finest authors.

  Jenny Rand wakes from a coma with abilities she cannot explain and memories that no longer align with the world around her. Everything appears unchanged, yet certain moments glitch in ways only she can sense. Even the stray cats that cross her path seem to watch her with unusual intelligence, as if waiting for her to understand something she has forgotten. 
  As Jenny follows the threads behind these quiet disturbances, she uncovers signs of a hidden conflict between humanity and an alien faction working through algorithms, media currents, and manipulated memory. The world hasn’t transformed overnight; it has been altered slowly, layer by layer, while no one was paying attention. 
  Someone is shaping what people think. 
  Someone is rewriting what they remember. 
  Jenny is one of the few who can still see the cracks in the illusion. And in the shadows of the city, she begins to sense that unseen allies are fighting the same silent war, each carrying secrets of their own.

  Ever since the Big Uneasy unleashed vampires, werewolves, and other undead denizens on the world, it’s been hell being a detective—especially for zombie PI Dan Chambeaux.  
  Taking on the creepiest of cases in the Unnatural Quarter with a human lawyer for a partner and a ghost for a girlfriend, Chambeaux redefines “dead on arrival.” But just because he was murdered doesn’t mean he’d leave his clients in the lurch. Besides, zombies are so good at lurching. 
  Now he’s back from the dead and back in business—with a caseload that’s downright unnatural. A resurrected mummy is suing the museum that put him on display. Two witches, victims of a curse gone terribly wrong, seek restitution from a publisher for not using “spell check” on its magical tomes. And he’s got to figure out a very personal question: who killed him? 
  For Dan Chambeaux, it’s all in a day’s work. (Still, does everybody have to call him “Shamble”?) 
  Funny, fresh, and irresistible, this cadaverous caper puts the PI in RIP … with a vengeance.

  If all the world's a stage, Jacci will play her part.  
   
  She only hopes her story does not turn out to be a tragedy. 
   
  In 1881, Jacci Reed is only five years old when a man attempts to kidnap her from the steamboat her mother, Irena, works on. Badly wounded during the confrontation, Irena takes Jacci aboard the Kingston Floating Palace, a showboat tied up beside them. There, Jacci's actor grandfather tends to her mother, and Jacci gets a first taste of the life she will come to lead. 
   
  Fifteen years later, Jacci is an actress aboard that same showboat and largely contented with her adopted family of actors, singers, and dancers. Especially Gabe, who has always supported her, and the gruff grandfather she has come to know and love. Jacci's mother has been gone for years, but the memory of the altercation that ultimately took her life--and the cryptic things Jacci has overheard about her past--is always there, lurking in the back of her mind. 
   
  When someone on the showboat tries to kill Jacci, it's clear her questions demand answers. But secrets have a way of staying in the shadows . . . and the answers she craves will not come easily. 
   
  "Gabhart delivers an atmospheric romance set on an 1890s showboat with plenty of secrets below deck."--Publishers Weekly 
   
  "Gabhart's masterful storytelling glows with personality and page-turning surprises."--Booklist
