  Says writer Geoffrey Giuliano: "Goose was an exceptionally kind, open, honest, and understanding gentleman. His natural charisma and charm are well known. He was a magical performer, pretending to play a banjo with an old tennis racket wearing a white pith helmet with a painted red band that had seen better days. He told wonderfully engrossing stories, some scary - but not too much. Goose was universally loved and deeply respected by parents and kids alike."

  The narrator - the old nurse of the title - is an old family retainer who has worked in the service of the same family for three generations. She tells the young children about a dark incident that she experienced in the company of the children’s mother, when she was a young woman and visiting her mother’s ancestral home  This story hits all the marks of a classic ghost story: an isolated manor, creepy music sounding from a disused organ, ghostly apparitions begging to be let inside. Despite all the hallmarks of a ghost story, the true horror of the story is in the very real, all-too-capable cruelty people and in their inability to right the wrongs of the past, showing readers how ghosts are not the only beings capable of creating terror.

  “Beautiful writing, good zombie action and a compelling cast of characters onboard a massive spaceship make Carrier a fun ride.” —Craig DiLouie, author of Suffer The Children 
   
  With Earth’s resources on the verge of exhaustion and worldwide civil war imminent, we looked to the stars for answers. Beneath the surface of lifeless planets, we found all the resources we could ever consume . . . 
   
  Stellan Lund is chief security officer aboard the Atlas, a carrier. Life on a carrier is peaceful. As long as the Atlas’ crew does its job, the New Earth Council leaves them alone. The only risk is an occasional case of black madness, a mental-break condition thought to be caused by extended deep space travel. It’s a small risk to take for freedom. 
   
  But then Adelynn Skinner, an agent of the New Earth Council, boards and orders the Atlas to uncharted territory where a dying planet with unidentified material waits. It could be the key to ending New Earth’s civil war—or it could end civilization as they know it. They will break protocol and mine the planet before its red giant star consumes it, because some risks are worth taking. 
   
  Stellan isn’t about to let Skinner jeopardize the Atlas or its crew, but with mounting disturbances and rising concern over the black madness, Stellan struggles just to hold the ship together. When an accident exposes some of the crew to the alien material, reports of black madness escalate. But something about these cases is different—and it seems to be spreading… 
   
  Combining character-rich storytelling, dystopian themes, and suspense that builds into an avalanche, Carrier follows Stellan Lund as he discovers that he carries the fate of a world and sacrificing whatever remains of his soul may be necessary to survive. It’s an action-packed, horrifying contemplation of what it means to be heroic, and how the most beautiful human traits may lead to the destruction of all that we cherish.

  Fantasy novel about the mystical adventures of a lonely English boy, Jimbo. It’s really quite beautiful and can be enjoyed by both older kids and adults, though parts may be too scary for younger children (who'd probably be bored anyway). (Summary by Adrian Praetzellis)
