  "Molly McGhee reminds me of absolutely no one. Here’s an original mind brimming over with invention and comic ferocity . . . [a] mad, hilarious writer.” 
  —Ben Marcus, author of The Flame Alphabet 
   
  ✓ Jonathan Abernathy you are kind.  
  ✓ You are competent.  
  ✓ You are well respected and valued by your community. 
  ✓ People, including your family, love you. 
   
  Jonathan Abernathy is a self-proclaimed loser . . . he’s behind on his debts, has no prospects, no friends, and no ambitions. But when a government loan forgiveness program offers him a literal dream job, he thinks he’s found his big break. If he can appear to be competent at his new job, entering the minds of middle-class workers while they sleep and removing the unsavory detritus of their waking lives from their unconscious, he might have a chance at a new life. As Abernathy finds his footing in this new role, reality and morality begin to warp around him. Soon, the lines between life and work, love and hate, right and wrong, even sleep and consciousness, begin to blur.  
   
  Molly McGhee touches on a theme most people know all too well—the relentlessly crushing weight of debt. A workplace novel, at once tender, startling, and deeply funny, Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind is a stunning, critical work of surrealist fiction, a piercing critique of late-stage capitalism, and a reckoning with its true cost.

On the run to the wilds of Washington to chase a recent lead, she meets none other than Gideon himself.While conducting a wilderness survival class in remote Washington, Gideon never expected to cross paths with Mackenzie, and he's certainly not interested in helping her after he's already declined to participate in her vigilante podcasting.

Then a flood threatens the town, turning their investigation into a race to escape the raging waters and the wrath of a powerful kingpin who wants to sink them both.

  In a savage world ruled by fang and fire, love can be the most dangerous taboo of all. 
  A-aea, a spirited Cro-Magnon girl, defies her tribe’s rigid codes to spy on Ga-nor—a brooding young artist more interested in cave paintings than courtship. But when she’s abducted by a ruthless suitor and dragged into the jungle, she awakens something far worse: a Neandertal beast with a taste for flesh… and a twisted fascination for his helpless prey. 
  Now, Ga-nor must choose between tribal law and primal instinct as he ventures into the forbidden forest to save the girl who dared to love him. Armed only with stone tools and savage courage, he’ll face a terror that once ruled the earth—and may do so again. 
  From legendary author Robert E. Howard comes a blood-pounding tale of ancient passion and primal terror. Spear and Fang is prehistoric pulp at its fiercest, where the strong survive, the brave conquer, and love is carved in stone. 
  This Audiobook marks the 100-year anniversary of the story's first publication.
