Loved By A Killer

C.F. Rabbiosi

Maison d'édition: Next Chapter

Synopsis

Raina loved performing on the London stage, but one night found herself dancing for only HIM. She froze, her cerulean eyes drawn to the balcony, where the warm glow of gaslights flickered upon his shadowy form. If only she had known that this monster— wrapped in beautiful skin— would rip her away from everything in the world she loved, perhaps she wouldn’t have lingered so long.

Lord Marcus Loxley loved being a bloodthirsty predator, but one night his gallivanting brought him to his knees in front of her. If only he’d known what would happen when she danced, that she would remind him of someone who had been everything in the world he loved, perhaps he would’ve turned away.

Determined to possess her in every scintillating meaning of the word, he drags her deeper and deeper into his depraved world, willing her to become his crimson-spattered queen. But she fights him, as well as the darkness within that threatens to consume her very existence. And oh, how her caged demoness begs to be released. But desire is a dangerous thing, and a part of her still wants her captor.

Roughly, deeply, quivering, consuming.

Until she begins falling for someone else.

Meanwhile, prostitutes are being butchered in the misty, cobblestone streets of London’s East end, and she begins to wonder: Is her dark lover, the one she is bound to, The Ripper?

With the haunting beauty of the gas lit times of Victorian England and historically accurate Jack the Ripper crime scenes, Loved By A Killer is a beautifully written, gripping paranormal romance.

Warning: sexual content and graphic violence.

Pendle Witches The - England...

Christopher Allen

The Pendle Witches England 1600's
Book 7 of 7 James Device
The books are fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows:
James Device, the quick-tempered but imaginative youngest son of the infamous Device witch clan, used his gift for storytelling to navigate the harsh realities of 1612 Lancashire. His tales of spectral black dogs and forest spirits, once told to entertain his young sister Jennet, became damning evidence when magistrate Roger Nowell twisted them into a forced witchcraft confession. After his grandmother Demdike's death in prison and his mother Elizabeth's arrest, James' angry words to a neighbor about a sick cow were recast as magical curses. His own invented character - a familiar named Dandy - sealed his fate when interrogators weaponized his imagination against him. At the Lancaster trials, even Jennet's coached testimony condemned him. On August 20, 1612, the 18-year-old's final shouted protest of innocence was drowned by the crowd as the noose tightened, making him the tragic embodiment of how creativity could become fatal in the witch panic hysteria.

Northanger Abbey

Jane Austen

*Northanger Abbey* is a delightful coming-of-age novel that playfully critiques the conventions of Gothic literature. At the heart of the story is the endearingly naïve Catherine Morland, a seventeen-year-old who hails from a modest country parsonage. During a few enchanting weeks spent in the bustling spa town of Bath, Catherine forms a captivating connection with the charming Henry Tilney, who graciously invites her to experience the grandeur of his family estate, Northanger Abbey.
Upon her arrival at the Abbey, an ancient mansion steeped in mystery and echoes of the past, Catherine's imagination runs wild. Captivated by her passion for Gothic thrillers, she begins to perceive an eerie atmosphere that fuels her burgeoning suspicions. Whispers of dark secrets swirl around her thoughts: What truly lies behind the untimely death of Henry’s mother? Is there a hidden malevolence lurking within the elegant, shadowy chambers of the Abbey? Can she place her trust in the enigmatic Henry, or could he himself be entangled in a sinister plot?
As her vivid imagination spirals, Catherine interprets mundane happenings as ominous omens, her heart racing with each twist of her thoughts. However, it is Henry’s gentle encouragement that ultimately guides her to discern the line between fiction and reality, reminding her that life, with all its unpredictability, can often be far stranger than art.
Filled with spirited charm and insightful commentary, *Northanger Abbey* offers a lighthearted yet astute exploration of love, marriage, and the perils of letting one's imagination run wild.

From Savagery

Alejandra Banca

Electric, defiant, and singing with melancholia, Alejandra Banca's devastating debut throws its arms around a displaced generation of young Venezuelan migrants, reveling in the clamor and beauty of their day-by-day survival. 
 
 
 
Below the rooftops of Barcelona's historic avenues, in the shadow of the Sagrada Família and its fleet of construction cranes, thrums a vital pulse: meal-delivery bikers, sex workers, strung out artists, anti-capitalist squatters, undocumented shopgirls, fledgling drug dealers, and a thousand more lives that cross and knit together at the lowest level of Spain's urban tumult. The young expats of these stories careen through crowded streets, night clubs, and dating apps with a devil-may-care abandon that belies their precarious circumstances. Tragedy will erupt and then ebb in an instant, receding in the rearview like a roadside collision and haunting those that push on. Running on fumes and paltry tips, Banca's beleaguered characters race along a knife's edge and find unexpected solace in moments of shared vulnerability; a knowing thread that unites these strangers in a strange land. 
 
 
 
In this English PEN Award-winning translation by Katie Brown, From Savagery announces Alejandra Banca as a resplendent and masterful new voice in Latin American literature—one that will take listeners by storm.
