  A final case to remember … or not 
  When my succubus cat demands a trip to Coney Island for a fried delicacy known as Mermaid Tails, I blithely agree. What could go wrong? 
  A lot, as it turns out. The boardwalk vendors are mysteriously absent, a teenage fortune teller is spreading dire warnings, and one of my fondest childhood memories just tried to strangle me with powdered sugar. 
  Something supernatural is twisting the park’s joyful past into deadly threats, and I’ve tracked the source to a shuttered attraction. As if abandoned funhouses weren’t nightmarish enough, I may be facing a force beyond my magical abilities. 
  On the plus side (and size), Tabitha is finally motivated to help out. Her stomach insists. 
  The bad news? She believes fire fixes everything. 
  Croft & Tabby is a spinoff of the popular Prof Croft series, set before the main books. If you like snarky cats, fledgling mages, and supernatural investigations, you'll love Croft & Tabby!

  Three gripping time-travel tales of love and murder… 
  BEFORE THE KILLING: After 19-year-old Cassie returns home from her first year away at college, her boyfriend, Julian, is implicated in a brutal killing. Seven years later, a freak occurrence gives Cassie a unique time-traveling ability, allowing her to re-live that earlier time with the benefit of foreknowledge. But in witnessing the truth, she inadvertently reveals herself to the killer, who pursues her in past and present both. “Once I started I couldn’t put it down!” -Bookshelf Adventures 
  BEFORE SHE WAS TAKEN: 25-year-old Rebecca Danser's life is a mess ever since she was six and her younger sister Sadie disappeared on her watch. But then she realizes the time-traveling ability she recently gained can be used to discover who took Sadie that fateful day. What she learns leads her into a remote forest in the Sierra Mountains, where the monster responsible for the destruction of her family lies in wait for her. "A cleverly plotted fantasy thriller with a strong cast of characters." -The Wishing Shelf Book Award 
  BEFORE HE VANISHED: Still troubled by the growing sense that she should be using her unique ability to save others who've gone missing, Rebecca takes up the case of a Black-American boy who vanished a year ago. Frustrated that police and media have made little effort to find 13-year-old Ethan Pitt or publicize his disappearance, she jumps back in time to discover what really happened. But Rebecca puts her past and present at great risk as she narrows down the suspects and infiltrates the lair of the ruthless manipulator most likely responsible for Ethan's vanishing. “Mystery fans will love this plot device, which takes a straightforward whodunit to an otherworldly level." -The BookLife Prize 
  "(Benedict's) prose is crisp and purposeful, charged with feeling, and always attuned to what will engage readers in each moment." (The BookLife Prize)

  Ed is a weeper. A professional weeper. 
   
   
   
  He's a card-carrying member of an eccentric union hired to cry at funerals, wakes, services, and burials. It's an odd job, but his services are sorely needed these days, as the town, the region, the country as a whole has become more or less numb. No one is able to summon a shred of human emotion whatsoever. Not anymore. (What'd be the point? The world's already gone to hell.) 
   
   
   
  So there's always work for Ed and his colleagues. But all those cries can wear a man down, and the tears don't flow quite like they used to, even for a consummate pro like Ed. 
   
   
   
  Then one morning, a stranger comes to town. A scrawny kid with no belongings, no parents, no name, no past. And at precisely the moment of his arrival, people begin to experience something new. Something strange. An onslaught of unbidden feelings, unfamiliar feelings, too many feelings. 
   
   
   
  A surrealist story of mourning and messiahs, deserts and droughts, cowboys and junkies, miracles and mass hysteria, the lure of despair and the solace of friendship. Peter Mendelsund's Weepers is a novel for this age: our age of anesthesia and anger.

  The Monster That Threatened The...

  The Monster That Threatened the Universe by Russ Winterbotham - From Chaos a space-consuming creature reached slimy tentacles toward trembling planets. And no man of the old fighting breed remained on effete Earth to battle the invulnerable monster. 
  Limio hugged the dying fires of Chaos. He was not cold, for the fires that burned in the center of the cold star were not dead, only dying. But they were the source of life to the monster who lived in the depths of a black hole of space. 
  The Black Hole, about thirty degrees from the solar quadrant in the terrestrial galaxy, was not dark, but twilight to Limio, whose eyes were sensitive to infra-red radiation. These eyes, hundreds of them floating on huge cranial bumps that dotted the thousands of miles of his massive body, caught the ruddy glow of a rocket ship entering The Black Hole. 
  Limio grunted. These iron creatures were hard to crack, but inside their hulls were juicy tidbits of carbon and oxygen in various combinations. It had seemed to Limio that these tasty morsels were alive; that they might even possess intelligence. Of course, it would be hard to conceive of anything so small having much intelligence, but Limio had run across strange things in the universe in his millions of years of existence. 
  Limio had come to Chaos a single spore. He had grown into a slimy, reptilian, nauseating mass, the supreme hideosity in a warp of creation. His body lacked form, except as a tenuous syrupy blanket covering a fourth of the surface of Chaos. Here and there in the skin of this monster were toothed craters ready to devour any carbon molecule that might fall from space. Food was not important to Limio, for it only made him grow. The energy of the inner fires of Chaos supplied the needs of his existence. He ate simply to destroy, for Limio wanted no competitive form of life on Chaos. Competition might mean death and Limio loved his immortality.
