The Infernal Age - Demon Gate

Anonymous

The end of technology and maybe of humanity itself.  Demons (and magic) unleashed upon the Earth. 
The Mist meets a gritty prequel to The Elfstones of Shannara, The Infernal Age is a nail-biting take on the death of the modern world and the birth of something darker. 
Gabriel, an ex-soldier-turned-project-manager with anger issues, is sent to a small town in New Mexico and charged with keeping a failed government experiment secret and stable. There he meets Tam, an oddly philosophical scientist, but as they settle into a bantering friendship, things go catastrophically wrong.  
As the containment fails, the truth is revealed - the experiment has punched a hole through to another reality allowing demon-like aliens to pass through, bringing their realm’s laws of physics with them. The creatures rampage as all technology fails and many people begin to sicken and die. The duo meets the traumatized but resilient Ripley and together they embark on a quest to get vital data to the experiment’s authors. As they travel together, battle demons, give aid to some survivors and fight others, each of them realizes that they are manifesting unsettling powers which, while helping them, also threaten to estrange them from their humanity.  
An apocalyptic blend of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, The Infernal Age - Demon Gate is book one of a debut series by author Anson Joaquín. Join Gabriel, Tam, and Ripley as they are confronted by the end of the world they knew and start their quest to set things right, or failing that, at least to stay alive… and stay human.

Elizabeth and Her German Garden

Elizabeth Von Arnim

"I am convinced that a garden is the best place to be in when you are unhappy."

Sick of the stifling social expectations of high society and the relentless demands of domestic life, "Elizabeth" finds her sanctuary in a neglected, overgrown estate in North Germany. Through her eyes, we experience the changing seasons and the arduous yet rewarding task of bringing a garden to life. This is not just a book about flowers; it is a sharp, satirical, and deeply personal manifesto on a woman's right to her own time, her own thoughts, and her own plot of land.

A Rebel in a Sun Hat: While Elizabeth's husband—humorously dubbed "The Man of Wrath"—and her judgmental visitors represent the rigid patriarchal structures of the late Victorian era, Elizabeth finds her freedom among the roses and larkspur. With a biting wit that predates the "modern" woman, she dissects the absurdities of her social circle while finding profound spiritual renewal in the dirt beneath her fingernails.

The Foundation of Modern "Slow Living": Long before it became a movement, Elizabeth von Arnim captured the essence of "slow living." Her prose is a vibrant tapestry of botanical detail and philosophical musings. Elizabeth and Her German Garden remains a beloved classic for anyone who has ever felt that a afternoon spent alone with a book and a flowerbed is worth more than a dozen formal dinner parties.

Escape to a world where flowers are the only conversation that matters. Purchase "Elizabeth and Her German Garden" today and find your own sanctuary.
