Amber - Revenge. Sweet, satisfying revenge.It was the only thing that kept me going since one eventful day that separated me from the people I loved, which changed my future forever.I wasn't sure how I'd be able to get it, but I existed then for no other reason than to give Darren Pearson and Callum Pine what they deserved.My luck came with the arrival of one magical human, Samantha, with whom I'd open Pandora's box and travel to worlds I only dreamed were real.I was so close to getting what I've been hungry for until everything started to fall apart.Samantha - I've always been a bit peculiar, but never dreamed I could do magic.

Those things were only tales made for movies that attracted the deluded.Except, it was real.Wasn't it?It all began when I was visited by a ghost who needed my help.In trying to help her, I almost destroyed everything else.One action threw the world off balance. I messed up. It was my fault. I released creatures from unknown dimensions into our world, and they set out to destroy it and make it their own.I had to fix it if I was going to save the person I loved the most.So, I made a deal that would later lead others to question my sanity.

Victorian Psycho

Virginia Feito

SOON TO BE A FEATURE FILM STARRING MARGARET QUALLEY AND THOMASIN MCKENZIE
Named one of the Most Anticipated Books of 2025 by Oprah Daily, Reader's Digest, Polygon, and Paste
“Simmering with rage, propulsive and laugh out loud funny, Victorian Psycho speaks profoundly of horror both within and without us.”—Catriona Ward
From the acclaimed author of Mrs. March comes the riveting tale of a bloodthirsty governess who learns the true meaning of vengeance.
Virginia Feito’s Mrs. March was hailed as “a brilliant debut … [by] a writer who keeps pace with the grandees she invokes” (Sarah Ditum, Guardian)—from Daphne Du Maurier and Shirley Jackson to Patricia Highsmith. Now, Feito returns with her “silver-polish sentences and her eerie psychological acumen” (Constance Grady, Vox) to unleash an entirely new antihero on us all.
Grim Wolds, England: Winifred Notty arrives at Ensor House prepared to play the perfect governess—she’ll dutifully tutor her charges, Drusilla and Andrew, tell them bedtime stories, and only joke about eating children. But long, listless days spent within the estate’s dreary confines come with an intimate knowledge of the perversions and pathetic preoccupations of the Pounds family—Mr. Pounds can’t keep his eyes off Winifred’s chest, and Mrs. Pounds takes a sickly pleasure in punishing Winifred for her husband’s wandering gaze. Compounded with her disdain for the entitled Pounds children, Winifred finds herself struggling at every turn to stifle the violent compulsions of her past. French tutoring and needlework are one way to pass the time, as is admiring the ugly portraits in the gallery … and creeping across the moonlit lawns. …
Patience. Winifred must have patience, for Christmas is coming, and she has very special gifts planned for the dear souls of Ensor House. Brimming with sardonic wit and culminating in a shocking conclusion, Victorian Psycho plunges readers into the chilling mind of an iconic new literary psychopath.

Rip Van Winkle

Washington Irving

What happens when a man simply steps away for a quiet walk in the mountains—only to return and find the world utterly changed?
Washington Irving's Rip Van Winkle is a timeless reflection on time, identity, and the curious comforts of doing nothing in particular. Set against the misty ridges of the Catskills, this gently magical tale offers more than a rustic legend—it's a sly meditation on escape, transformation, and the odd persistence of character. With prose as crisp as autumn air and wit as dry as a weathered tavern sign, Irving captures the peculiar feeling of waking from one world into another.
A story for those who've ever lost track of time—and for those who've secretly wished they could.
