  A widowed writer begins to work on a biography of a novelist and artist—and soon uncovers bizarre parallels between her life and her subject's—in this chilling and singularly strange novella by a contemporary master of horror and fantasy. 
   
   
   
  The narrator of Lisa Tuttle's uncanny novella is a recent widow, a writer adrift. Not only has she lost her husband, but her muse seems to have deserted her altogether. Her agent summons her to Edinburgh to discuss her next book. What will she tell him? At once the answer comes to her: she will write the biography of Helen Ralston, best known, if at all, as the subject of W.E. Logan's much-reproduced painting Circe, and the inspiration for his classic children's book, Hermine in Cloud-Land. 
   
   
   
  But Ralston was a novelist and artist in her own right, though her writing is no longer in print and her most radical painting, My Death, deemed too unsettling—malevolent even—to be shown in public. Over the months that follow, Ralston proves an astonishingly cooperative subject, even as her biographer uncovers eerie resonances between the older woman's history and her own. Whose biography is she writing—really?

  Some boys are born to inherit pain. Others become it. 
  In the mist choked hollows of 1930s Appalachia, fourteen year old Henry has learned to live by silence. Raised by a violent uncle and haunted by a mother he never knew, Henry moves through the world with quiet fury until one tragic friendship shatters what little innocence he had left. 
  As the cruelty of the town closes in, and secrets long buried rise to the surface, Henry builds a hidden refuge deep in the woods. But the past isn’t done with him yet. And when the truth finally comes to light, it will burn through everything in its path. 
  Told with lyrical grit and unflinching heart, Henry: Memoirs of a Killer is a Southern Gothic coming of age story about survival, justice, and what it means to reclaim your voice even if it means losing everything else.

  IPPY AWARDS GOLD WINNER, VISIONARY/NEW AGE FICTONCOVR AWARDS SILVER WINNER, VISIONARY FICTION2024 AMERICAN BOOK FEST BEST BOOK AWARDS FINALIST, VISIONARY FICTIONA metaphysical visionary novel that takes readers on a spiritual journey seen through the lens of a paranormal romance between a ghost and a clairvoyant. Everybody loves a good ghost story, yet poor dead Vee feels anything but “good” being stuck upstage in the heavens of her own afterlife. She can peek in on Val, who’s “downstage” with the living but haunted by ghosts. Then there’s Julie, stubbornly stage left but longing to be downstage with Val. And finally, poor Peter remains solitary in his stage-rightness with the sneaking suspicion he might be dead wrong. Trapped at center stage lurks the demon Iago, willing to bridge heaven and hell to exit this cursed performance once and for all. Just as Good Omens revamped the book of Revelation and His Dark Materials reimagined Milton’s Paradise Lost, Iago’s Penumbra is a modern love story about the darkness that redeems us, rooted in the works of William Shakespeare—with a little philosophy, physics, and cosmic horror thrown in, just for fun. PRAISE FOR IAGO'S PENUMBRA... “I don’t think it would be possible to expect anything quite so entirely creative, clever and consuming, full of surprises, romance, drama and, of course, magic... No doubt Will[iam Shakespeare] himself would be proud.” —Emily Carding, author of So Potent Art: The Magic of Shakespeare
