Sinossi

Translated for the first time into English, this masterpiece of French literature is striking, not only for its astonishing Subject matter but for the poetic beauty of the late author's subtle, intricate prose. As the haunting protagonist Lucien grapples with a taboo desire, the novel goes far beyond mere gothic horror to explore the melancholy in the loneliest depths of the human condition, forcing readers to confront their own mortality with an unprecedented intimacy. The Necrophiliac has become a cult classic in the 40 years since its original publication, one that is especially intriguing due to the insight it lends into the author's fascinatingly reclusive mind.

    Sophia Boralis is haunted by the death of her mother, her life consumed by a dark and dangerous depression that brings sinister shadows to life in her mirrors. After a desperate suicide attempt, she finds herself under the care of Harper, a psychiatrist with an almost otherworldly presence, at a mental health hospital.  
     In the hospital, Sophia meets Jeremy, a boyishly handsome man whose brokenness mirrors her own.  Yet, Jeremy harbors deep suspicions about Harper and his true intentions. Harper offers Sophia and Jeremy a chance to confront their trauma through shadow work, inviting them to his secluded mental institution where he teaches Witchcraft for therapeutic means.  There, Harper reveals his own suspicions about Jeremy to Sophia, leaving her torn between her two men, not knowing who to trust or who to fear. 
    As Sophia delves into Harper’s world, she encounters her shadows, which are actually inner demons more formidable and supernatural than she ever imagined.  In a world where trust is fragile and reality is blurred, she must navigate her way to sanity, all while her inner demons claw their way to the surface… 
      And they want out...

    The New York Times bestselling author of Sold on a Monday and The Ways We Hide shines a light on shocking events surrounding Portland's dark history in this gripping novel of love, lore, and betrayal.  
      
    She came from a lineage known for good fortune … by those who don't know the whole story.  
      
    Oregon, 1888. Amid the subterranean labyrinth of Portland's notorious Shanghai Tunnels, a woman awakens in an underground cell, drugged and disguised. Celia soon realizes she's a "shanghaied" victim on the verge of being shipped off as forced labor, leaving behind those she loves most. Although well accustomed to adapting for survival—being half-Chinese, passing as white during an era fraught with anti-Chinese sentiment—she fears that far more than her own fate hangs in the balance. 
      
    As she pieces together the twisting path that led to her abduction, from serving as a maid for the family of a dubious mayor to becoming entwined in the case of a goldminers' massacre, revelations emerge of a child left in peril. Desperate, Celia must find a way to escape and return to a place where unearthed secrets could prove deadlier than the dark recesses of Chinatown. 
      
    A captivating tale of resilience and hope, The Girls of Good Fortune explores the complexity of family and identity, the importance of stories that echo through generations, and the power of strength found beneath the surface.

    A novel about the real thing and real events, not traditional Hollywood drama. 
      
    “Secrecy and stealth are the watchwords as they must covertly lay acoustic arrays to close off the last remaining routes for Soviet submarines to reach open water away from NATO's prying ears.”— George W. Jackson, Captain USN (Ret.) 
    USS Teuthis Saturation Dive Team Officer-in-Charge Mac McDowell is leading his submarine team on a mission to lay acoustic arrays under the ice in the Arctic when they clash with a new Alfa-class highly automated Soviet submarine. Overwhelmed by mechanical problems, the Soviet crew abandons their sub near Pt. Barrow, Alaska. The Teuthis skipper launches DSRV-1 Mystic, so Mac and his crew can board the empty sub and gather intelligence. The arrival of an even more advanced Soviet sub leads to breathtaking underwater clashes with the specter of war looming. Will the Soviets sink Mac and his crew to their watery graves, or will Teuthis safely return to Alaska where Mac's new love, Kate, anxiously awaits his return?
