  Ashley Collins, a sixteen-year-old girl, has severe behavioral issues. Every rule is broken. Every line is crossed. Every day at home is filled with anger and hatred. And when Ashley goes too far, her parents—Logan and Jane—decide to push back. 
  They lock her in their basement with the intention of 'teaching' her through acts of discipline. 
  But discipline quickly gives way to cruelty. And cruelty unlocks the door to utter depravity. 
  This is a story of family and dysfunction. This is a story of discipline and trauma. This is the story of Ashley Collins' abuse. 
  With this 2026 re-release, Jon Athan, the author of The Groomer and Are Your Parents Home?, delivers a new and improved edition of his original vision of grim, gruesome, grindhouse horror. What are your neighbors hiding?

  A collection more than half a century in the making!
  The discerning reader will recall that the two cousins who wrote as Ellery Queen published five short stories about the Puzzle Club and its newest member, Ellery Queen himself, in the 1960s and '70s. Fifty years later, Josh Pachter picked up the gauntlet and gave us five more tales of the Puzzle Club, each as baffling as the original five, each with an introduction by a family member, friend, or aficionado of Mr. Queen.
  In addition to the ten Puzzle Club stories are four that introduce the Griffen family and E.Q. Griffen, who solves problems as confusing as those presented to his namesake. These stories were written by Pachter and introduced by Frederic Dannay, one of the two cousins who made up the EQ partnership.

  The Murder of Halland

  When Halland is found murdered almost right outside his door, his widow, Bess, is of course the prime suspect. She isn't worried about that, though, but about the daughter she abandoned years ago. As the police investigate, the slightly cantankerous Bess instead follows a trail of her own regrets and misapprehensions.
     
  Atmospheric and haunted by the uncanny, The Murder of Halland is anything but your typical whodunnit. It won Denmark's most important literary prize, Den Danske Banks Litteraturpris, and its English translation was longlisted for the IMPAC Dublin Prize.
     
  '[Juul's] writing is sparse, ascetic, and exquisite … a beautifully wrought narrative about reclamation, letting go, and moving on.'
     
  – Publishers Weekly
     
  'Anything but a standard crime novel. The mystery at its heart is the mystery we are to each other.'
     
  –The Economist
     
  'The Murder of Halland … is cooler and more calculated than any old Killing, and wrong-foots till it reveals the real mystery.'
     
  – Ali Smith, author of How to Be Both
     
  'Written with deft poetic precision, the compact scenes keep you turning pages breathlessly to get to the heart of the mystery and to the mystery of the narrator. The Murderof Halland is beautifully realized – an instant Nordic noir classic – and also beautifully translated by Martin Aitken.'
     
  – Thomas E. Kennedy, author of The Copenhagen Quartet 
     
  'Juul’s novella is a spare, elegant jewel … Terse and enigmatic, this novel is a classic to be savoured again and again.'
     
  – Maclean's
