  "Barbara Freethy’s suspense novels are explosively good!" — New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson. 
  Ten years ago, I was seventeen, spending summers with my wealthy family and friends on Hawk Island. One terrible night, I blacked out. The next morning, my best friend, Melanie, was gone—vanished without a trace. 
  Today, I go back. To the island. To my sister's wedding. To a group of privileged people with whom I've never belonged. To my best friend's brother, a man who hates us all. To secrets that someone will kill to keep.  
  A storm is coming. A storm that will cut off the island from all hope of help. A storm that could allow a kidnapper to escape or a killer to murder again. A storm that will wash away all the lies and deception and reveal the true faces of All the Pretty People. 
  Will I be the next one to disappear?  
  #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy invites you to experience her newest and most gripping page-turner to date; fans of Gone Girl, The Last Thing He Told Me, and One by One will love this psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist that will leave you breathless!

  In the isolated villages of Meirion, Wales, people vanish without a trace, leaving a quiet countryside gripped by fear. A series of unexplainable deaths occur under horrifying and impossible circumstances—drowned in shallow marshes, shattered on jagged cliffs, slaughtered on empty roads. The press goes silent and fear spreads like wildfire. Is there a monstrous killer lurking in the shadows, or is something far more sinister at work? 
  As a physician investigates the shocking truth about the mystifying deaths and tragedies, he uncovers a terror beyond human comprehension—a force that defies logic, nature, and even the limits of reality itself. 
  A masterpiece of suspense and the supernatural, The Terror blends the supernatural, fantasy and horror fiction into a story that would influence future writing in the horror genre for decades.

  “A sobering experience . . . The power of this collection comes from the voices of these authors, voices suffused with rage, despair, and madness.” —The New York Times Book Review   This anthology, with stories set in different prisons across the US, presents an absolutely new perspective on prison literature. From a killer’s confession to a desire for redemption, from stories of new cell mates to prison snitches, this collection of tales runs the gamut of emotions, settings, and voices. Readers are drawn into an unknown world and left with feelings of horror, compassion, and even understanding.   Edited by renowned author Joyce Carol Oates, who has led various writing workshops in correctional institutions across America, Prison Noir features stories by Christopher M. Stephen, Sin Soracco, Scott Gutches, Eric Boyd, Ali F. Sareini, Stephen Geez, B.M. Dolarman, Zeke Caligiuri, Marco Verdoni, Kenneth R. Brydon, Linda Michelle Marquardt, Andre White, Timothy Pauley, Bryan K. Palmer, and William Van Poyck.   “These are stories that resonate with authenticity and verve and pain and truth. Any collection edited by the National Book Award–winning author Oates deserves attention, but the contributors are deft and confident, and great writers without her imprimatur . . . Authentic, powerful, visceral, moving, great writing.” —Library Journal   “All the stories, set within jailhouse walls, explore anguish, lunacy, and sometimes, a desire for redemption. Others offer an unsettling and unvarnished look at life in the clink . . . Perhaps most importantly, the book gives inmates a voice: their own.” —Fine Books & Collections

  In the lush, rolling hills of the Cotswolds, governess Mary Wilcox finds her latest charge: the Carlton family. With wealth and elegance that could rival royalty, the Carltons are the epitome of modern aristocracy. 
  
  But beneath their polished exterior lies a tangle of silent grudges and family secrets.
  
  And one of them may lead to murder.
  
  Someone in this household harbors a sinister story, cloaked in aristocratic civility—a story that could turn her into the confidant of a troubled soul--or the next unsuspecting victim.
  
  As Mary digs deeper, she encounters inexplicable occurrences that mirror her own sister's disappearance, causing her to question if she's uncovering truths--or falling prey to her own haunted psyche.
  
  In a house full of masters and secrets, who can she truly trust?
