    Bold and deeply affecting, Awake in the Dark is a provocative and haunting work of fiction about who we are and how we are formed by history. These luminous stories portray the contemporary lives of the children of Holocaust victims and perpetrators as they struggle with the legacy of their parents--their questions of identity, family, and faith. 
    In "The House on Kronen-strasse," a woman returns to Germany to find her childhood home; in "The Porcelain Monkey," the shocking origins of an Orthodox Jewish woman's faith are revealed; in "The Lamp," the harrowing experiences of a young woman leave her with the perfect daughter and a strange light; and in "Dark Urgings of the Blood," a patient is convinced that she shares a disturbing history with her psychiatrist. 
    Rendered in powerful, unaffected prose, Awake in the Dark is an illuminating and startling book about the disguises we don, the secrets we keep, and the consequences of our silences.

    Caught in their last moment of decadent obliviousness, the characters in At Danceteria are so blinded by the strobe lights they can’t see what’s waiting in the shadows. While fictional, each of the collection’s seven stories, set at the dawn of the AIDS crisis, takes as their inspiration a real event: Halston and Liza reliving the Studio 54 glory days; Freddie Mercury Roman Holiday-ing Princess Di to a drag show; the Reagan White House rolling out the red carpet for Rock Hudson; a man-on-the-street with main character energy; Jackie Kennedy at a leather bar; a serenading Sylvester; and Keith Haring’s 26th birthday party… hosted by Madonna. Deftly balancing incisive wit and nostalgic melancholy, Walker paints a neon picture of the past, turning queer legends – both lore and people – into vivid reality.

    The king’s advisor has a problem. The dead king left no heirs. 
    Eclipse searches for the kingdom's next ruler, but his calculations are skewed and unfocused. He doesn’t understand why he can’t get a handle on them. Worse, the royal council presses him for a decision. 
    He has only a star to assist his way through these dark times, and it lights his way to a teen, frightened, alone, and sleeping in a doorway. 
    In escorting the boy to the back to the castle, the young man is genuinely afraid of crossing through doorways. In one moment, Eclipse has a hold of him, and in the next, the teen is gone. 
    Will the star guide Eclipse across time and space, against others who also pursue the teen, to find the boy who would be king? 
    Travel the Wells of the Onesong for an epic fantasy quick read adventure by the author of The Loki Adventures.
