Beschreibung

Winner of the Award of Merit of the 2023 Christianity Today Book Awards — Fiction!

"Profound and compulsively readable." —Silas House, author of Southernmost
New from a fresh voice in literary fiction comes this riveting deep-dive into one woman's experience with bipolar disorder and God.
Her mind has never failed her—until an ill-fated dinner party. 

Meet Dr. Susan Huffman: wife to chancery court judge Samuel Ellison, mother to adorable Ian, and college professor on track for tenure. She's a woman who has always lived by her mind, and begins each day with a plan and a purpose. But then new-in-town Lorraine Davis accepts an invitation to Susan and Samuel's home, and Susan begins to see mysterious visions. Are they symptoms of mental illness or warnings from God?  And if so, how can she protect her circle of friends, her family, and her life as she knows it?


In this urgent and emotionally raw novel, a mother and professor journeys through revelations and betrayals to recover and thrive against tough odds. 


 

The Book of Susan is the spare and sympathetic recounting of a journey—from derailment, to diagnosis, to the discovery of a lifetime.

With the injury taking too long to heal, and her fiancé pushing to move to the city, there’s nothing left for her at the small-town bull riding school she runs with her father. 
    Dominic West has always secretly longed to know his biological parents. But when an attempt to meet his birth mother goes horribly wrong, getting the hell out of town is all that’s on his mind.

    The unbelievable, untold story of Jesse James's other brother . . . In this rollicking standalone novel from the bestselling Johnstones, fact and fiction collide in the jaw-dropping story of Jesse James's little-known, disaster-prone brother. They call him Calamity—for a reason. 
     
     
     
    Calvin Amadeus James, aka Calamity, isn't an outlaw like his notorious brothers Jesse and Frank. He's worse—due to the bad luck that follows him everywhere he goes. Every job he takes—from army scout to gambler to cowboy and rail worker—ends in catastrophe. No matter what he does, Calamity James always seems to be on the wrong side of history . . . 
     
     
     
    The Great Chicago Fire of 1871? Calamity placed the lantern next to the cow that kicked it over. The gunfight at OK Corral? Calamity stirred up trouble in Tombstone right before it all went down. The fateful saloon shooting of Wild Bill Hickcock? Blame it on Calamity James. Some folks say he's even responsible for Custer's last stand at Little Big Horn—but Calamity swears it ain't true. He's just a magnet for bad luck who's trying to find his good luck charm—a pretty little dancehall girl known as Clumsy Catherine. But somewhere along the way, he foolishly joins the James-Younger Gang with his outlaw brothers. And that's when Calamity's infamous bad luck gets a whole lot worse . . .

    In "The Dreams in the Witch House," H.P. Lovecraft weaves a chilling tale centered around Walter Gilman, a curious scholar who takes up residence in the ominous Witch House, a place steeped in dark history and whispers of malevolence in the shadowy town of Arkham. This eerie abode once served as a prison to the infamous Keziah Mason, a witch whose vanishing from a Salem jail in 1692 is shrouded in mystery and dread. 
    As Gilman settles into the decaying, crooked rooms of the Witch House, he uncovers a haunting truth: nearly all who have lived there before him met untimely and tragic ends. The palpable sense of foreboding in these walls presses upon his mind, igniting sparks of both dread and fascination.In his restless slumber, the line between reality and nightmare blurs, as he is transported to the alien city of the Elder Things. He is drawn into a nightmarish communion with Keziah Mason and her sinister henchmen, whose otherworldly presence chills him to the bone. Each dream pulls him deeper into a supernatural labyrinth where darkness reigns, and the very fabric of sanity begins to fray.
