Synopsis

Wide Open by Deborah Coates is the first book in a series of "startlingly original" (Booklist) contemporary fantasy novels set against the sweeping prairies and desolate byways of the American Midwest, creating "a rural backwater where the normal and paranormal seamlessly merge." (Publishers Weekly) When Sergeant Hallie Michaels comes back to South Dakota from Afghanistan on ten days' compassionate leave, her sister Dell's ghost is waiting at the airport to greet her. The sheriff says that Dell's death was suicide, but Hallie doesn't believe it. Something happened or Dell's ghost wouldn't still be hanging around. Friends and family, mourning Dell's loss, think Hallie's letting her grief interfere with her judgment. The one person who seems willing to listen is the deputy sheriff, Boyd Davies, who shows up everywhere and helps when he doesn't have to. As Hallie asks more questions, she attracts new ghosts, women who disappeared without a trace. Soon, someone's trying to beat her up, burn down her father's ranch, and stop her investigation. Hallie's going to need Boyd, her friends, and all the ghosts she can find to defeat an enemy who has an unimaginable ancient power at his command. --Wide Open has been nominated for the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel, appeared on Locus Magazine's Recommended Reading List for first novels, and was chosen as a Tor.com Reviewer's Choice Pick for Favorite Book of the year. The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction claimed that it is "one of the best first novels I've read in a long time" and Library Journal agrees that "fans of urban fantasies should enjoy the kick-ass [heroine]."

    “Riddles of Destiny” is a gripping saga blending ancient spiritual wisdom with cutting-edge technology. At its heart are Siddhanta Sarma, a sun-worshipping priest, and Gorak Agora, a sage of the secretive Aghori sect. Together, they face a formidable enemy who manipulates both the spiritual and technological realms. 
    The tale begins when Ranganna, a disciple of Gorak Aghora, accidentally unlocks the gates of hell, setting off a catastrophic chain of events that spans continents. Meanwhile, Father Francis finds himself entangled in the schemes of Lucian Wrathborne, a mastermind controlling the deadly Brain Activity Transformer (BAT)—a device capable of altering human behaviour remotely. 
    Above it all, SANI, a hijacked stealth satellite, becomes Lucian's all-seeing eye, orchestrating chaos from space. As the world teeters on the edge, Sarma and Aghora must unravel Lucian’s web of deceit, uncovering deeper cosmic truths. 
    “Riddles of Destiny” masterfully combines elements of spiritual lore with advanced technology, creating a narrative that explores fate, resilience, and the quest for truth.

    Berenice by Edgar Allan Poe is offered here in a clean English digital edition prepared for fluent ebook reading. The work stands within horror and gives modern readers direct access to a public-domain classic with navigable structure and a restrained typographic presentation. The opening pages establish the book's atmosphere with this first movement: Dicebant mihi sodales, si sepulchrum amicae visitarem, curas meas aliquantulum fore levatas. —Ebn Zaiat. MISERY is manifold. The wretchedness of earth is multiform. Overreaching the wide horizon as the rainbow, its hues are as various as the hues of that arch,—as distinct too, yet as intimately blen This edition is suited to readers who want a reliable, uncluttered version of the text for study, rediscovery, and sustained reading.
