  In a new Hamptons Home & Garden Mystery, Meg Barrett will have to uncover the truth about a long-ago murder before a killer decides she's history . . . 
   
   
   
  When decorator Meg Barrett travels to a remote mansion to help select period pieces for a new 1930s-style television mystery series, she's chilled to learn that the manor was once a mental asylum and the site of a mysterious decades-old murder. And when a fierce blizzard knocks out the power and strands Meg and her cohorts in the home's rickety old elevator, they emerge to discover that another person has been murdered—in the same macabre manner as the original victim. 
   
   
   
  With a suspect list limited to those who were also stranded at the manor, Meg begins digging through their backgrounds for clues to both the old and new murder, trying to discover a connection that will lead her to the culprit's identity. But the more she learns, the more clear it becomes that someone wants to keep the secrets of the past buried, and Meg knows she'll have to watch her back before a ruthless killer decides to commit her to a grisly fate . . .

  Sand

  Sand by Algernon Blackwood is a chilling work of early supernatural fiction that transforms the vast silence of the desert into a living nightmare. When a group of travelers ventures into an isolated, sun-scorched landscape, they begin to sense an unseen presence lurking beneath the endless dunes—something ancient, intelligent, and profoundly hostile to human life. As the desert tightens its grip, ordinary reality erodes, replaced by mounting dread and the terrifying suggestion that the sand itself is watching. 
  Blending psychological tension with cosmic horror, Blackwood masterfully evokes fear through atmosphere rather than spectacle. The story explores humanity’s insignificance when confronted with primordial forces beyond comprehension, using the desert as both setting and antagonist. Sparse, relentless, and deeply unsettling, Sand stands as a landmark of weird fiction and an essential read for fans of H.P. Lovecraft, Arthur Machen, and classic supernatural horror.

  It took an angel to make me believe in love. 
   
   
   
  As a woman of science, I am an unabashed, agnostic atheist—until I meet my first angel. Aziel, with big, beautiful wings, claims he's here to stop humanity from being annihilated. Sounds impressive, but I have questions. 
   
   
   
  Full of arrogance and demands, he wants access to my life's work while blaming me for the coming apocalypse. It seems my innocuous signal seeking life beyond our galaxy succeeded. Someone heard my invitation, and now the world is in grave danger. 
   
   
   
  At least according to Aziel. 
   
   
   
  As I get to know him, I find myself reevaluating everything I thought I knew. More surprising than my sudden belief in religion, though, is my irrational love for an overbearing angel. 
   
   
   
  But will he defy Heaven's orders to save me? 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
