  An Iowa librarian and her grandmother use their paranormal gifts to stop a serial killer in this mystery by the author of Witch Way to Murder.  
   
  Ophelia Jensen’s good witch granny Abigail revels in her paranormal powers. But Ophelia never asked for her bothersome psychic abilities—especially since they proved worthless when the thirty-something librarian’s best friend Brian was murdered by a still-unknown assailant. 
   
  Now, five years later, another friend is gone, killed in almost identical fashion. Even dear old Abby isn’t safe, distracted as she is by her fight to prevent a massive, mega-polluting pig-farming operation from invading their small Iowa town. And Ophelia can’t count on her snarling, scoffing nemesis, police detective Henry Comacho, to get the job done, so she’ll have to take matters into her own hands. Because a common thread to the crimes—and a possible next victim—is suddenly becoming troublingly apparent . . . and it’s Ophelia Jensen herself!

  “This is a very special mystery in an enchanting series, as Ophelia and Abby perform magic in the traditional Bell, Book and Candle methodology.” —Harriet Klausner

  A group of men gather in New Orleans to distribute the estate of the missing Randolph Carter. One of them claims that Carter is alive and begins to weave an incredible tale of his adventures.E. Hoffman Price, during Lovecraft's visit to his home in New Orleans in June 1931, tried to persuade the Providence writer to create a continuation of Randolph Carter's adventures after the character disappears in the story "The Silver Key." HPL refused to be persuaded, so Price himself, without permission, created a text titled "The Lord of Illusion" in August. He sent the result to Lovecraft, hoping that he would agree to edit the work.HPL struggled for a long time with the editing of the text. Although he radically changed the linguistic layer of the work, he made no major changes to the plot. Indeed, it is evident that the ideas are not his own: a lot of action, poorly thought-out concepts, and little suggestiveness.

  Revolutionary turmoil in France threatens to cross the English border—and tear apart an increasingly tense marriage—in this “brilliant” gothic thriller  (Publishers Weekly, starred review). 
   
  It is 1792, and Europe is seized by political unrest. In England, Lizzie Fawkes has grown up among Radicals who’ve followed the French Revolution with eager optimism. But Lizzie has recently married John Diner Tredevant, a developer who is heavily invested in Bristol’s housing boom, and he has everything to lose from social upheaval and the prospect of war. As the strain of financial setbacks and the secrets of his past converge upon him, his grip on what he considers his rightful property—including Lizzie—only grows tighter…From an Orange Prize winner and Whitbread Award finalist, this is a novel with a “charged radiance” (The New York Times) that explores romanticism and disillusionment, terror and love, and the dangerous lines between them. 
   
  “Dunmore knows how to let a narrative move like an arrow in flight…A man rows from Bristol to a glade where he has left his dead wife overnight. He must bury her fast, where no one will find her. From the start, Birdcage Walk has the command of a thriller as we keep company with John Diner Tredevant, an 18th-century property developer building a magnificent terrace in Clifton, high above the Avon Gorge. Lizzie, his second wife, does not know the details of what happened to his first. Nor do we know as much as we might suppose…The novel’s cast is marvelous and vivid.”—The Guardian 
   
  “Explores the impact of the French Revolution on 1790s England within the context of a gothic romance set in Bristol…[a] magnificently complex villain.”—Kirkus Reviews
