  Nowhere Land

  If Haunting of Hill House had a baby with Stranger Things, Nowhere Land would be the result. 
  Legends are told for centuries of a haunted land not far from Gloucester, Virginia. The local 
  tribes in the past had labelled it a place of demons. Wildlife is hardly seen there, and even insects 
  avoid it. Sound fluctuates; nothing above a whisper one moment, only to come back minutes 
  later. No reason for this weird phenomenon. Those who dare to cross the land never make it out, 
  mysteriously vanishing. 
  Parker Burkett and his sister, Lisa Polivka, inherit the land from their grandfather. They bring in 
  a group of investigators to find if the stories behind the property are true. Parker has plans to turn 
  it into a historical attraction and wants to debunk the ghost tales. He finds the paranormal group 
  gone the next morning, except for a finger still wearing a ring lying in the loft of one of the 
  buildings. It is the only evidence they’d been there. 
  Ben Neilson, who leads the paranormal team, Seekers of Paranormal World, wants to investigate, 
  but first he must convince Parker to let them. He also wants longtime friend and psychic medium 
  Neri Phelan to help his team. Neri left the group a couple of years ago after the death of her 
  younger sister on an investigation. She has a past with the cursed land, and she doesn’t want 
  anything to do with it. Nightmares and an attack from something dark that destroys her spirit 
  guide help her decide that it’s time to break the curse. 
  Will they solve the truth behind the legends? Or will Neri and Parker, along with Ben and his 
  team, join the countless others over the centuries and become sacrifices to Nowhere Land.

  Bishop's Apron

  W. Somerset Maugham

  Canon Spratte saw himself as he thought others might see him: mediocre, pompous, self-assertive, verbose. Maugham could have added ambitious, hypocritical, and vain. In this engrossing social satire, Theodore Spratte, a cleric, motivated by an obsessive desire to be elevated to bishop, embellishes his family history and intrudes upon his son's and daughter's courtships. A reviewer in 1906 wrote, "The whole book is an admirable blend of cynical gaiety and broadly farcical comedy; it is the smartest and most genuinely humorous novel that the season has yet given us." -- Lee Smalley

  The Lost and the Blind

  A mystery in modern-day rural Ireland may have roots in World War II, in this thriller by a “fine dramatic writer and storyteller” (Booklist).   The elderly German, Karl Uxkull, was either senile or desperate for attention. Why else would he concoct a tale of Nazi atrocity on the remote island of Delphi, off the coast of Donegal? And why now, sixty years after the event, just when Irish-American billionaire Shay Govern has tendered for a gold prospecting license in Lough Swilly?   Journalist Tom Noone doesn’t want to know. With his young daughter Emily to provide for, and a new ghostwriting commission for Shay Govern’s biography, the timing is all wrong. Besides, can it be mere coincidence that Karl Uxkull’s tale bears an uncanny resemblance to a thriller written by spy novelist Sebastian Devereaux, the reclusive English author who has spent the past fifty years holed up on Delphi?   But when a body is discovered drowned, Tom and Emily find themselves running for their lives in pursuit of the truth that is their only hope of survival.   “Burke has a real knack for dialogue and phrasing.” —Publishers Weekly   “Readers . . . will be rewarded with an unholy Chinese box of a thriller. Make that an Irish-German box.” —Kirkus Reviews
