    They Took Her Sister. Now Sheʼs Taking Justice Into Her Own Hands. 
    When photographer Yaneriz Alvarez senses somethingʼs off, she listens—not to logic, but to the aching thread thatʼs always tethered her to her twin. Amaya, a soldier stationed at Fort Hood, has gone silent. The Army says sheʼs on leave. Her apartment says otherwise. And the voice of their dead grandmother whispering in Yanerizʼs ear wonʼt let her ignore the truth: something terrible has happened. 
    What starts as a sisterʼs search unravels into a chilling web of military coverups, misogyny, and systemic silence. But Yaneriz didnʼt come this far to be quiet. With nothing but her instincts, a camera, and the ghost of the woman who raised them both, sheʼll claw her way through the lies—even if it means becoming the monster they tried to make her out to be. 
    THE ALVAREZ GIRLS is a heart-wrenching novella that fuses psychological suspense, sisterhood, and social commentary into a devastating punch. Perfect for fans of The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz and Verity by Colleen Hoover—with a Dominican twist.

    Nightmare Abbey

    Nightmare Abbey was Peacock's third long work of fiction to be published. It was written in late March and June 1818, and published in London in November of the same year. The novella was lightly revised by the author in 1837 for republication in Volume 57 of Bentley's Standard Novels. The book is Peacock's most wellliked and frequentlyread work. 
     
    The novel was a topical work of Gothic fiction in which the author satirized tendencies in contemporary English literature, in particular Romanticism's obsession with morbid subjects, misanthropy and transcendental philosophical systems. Most of its characters are based on historical figures whom Peacock wished to pillory. 
     
    It has been observed that "the plots of Peacock's novels are mostly devices for bringing the persons together and the persons are merely the embodiment of whims and theories, or types of a class". Nightmare Abbey embodies the critique of a particular mentality and pillories the contemporary vogue for the macabre. To his friend Percy Bysshe Shelley, Peacock described the object of his novel as being "to bring to a sort of philosophical focus a few of the morbidities of modern literature". Appearing in the same year as Northanger Abbey, it similarly contrasts the product of the inflamed imagination, or what Peacock's Mr. Hilary describes as the "conspiracy against cheerfulness", with the commonplace course of everyday life, with the aid of lighthearted ridicule. 
     
    Several of the chapters take a dramatic form interspersed with stage directions in order to illustrate without comment how much the speakers characterize themselves through their conversation. The actor and director Anthony Sharp was eventually to take this approach to its logical conclusion and reduced the whole novel to a successful and popular script. First performed in February 1952, it was eventually published in 1971. A one of a kind audio encounter from Icon Audiobooks!
