    Pillar of Fire by Ray Bradbury is a haunting and philosophical science fiction novella that explores the boundaries between life and death in a sterile, futuristic society that has abolished the very concept of mortality. When William Lantry, a man long dead, awakens in a world where death has been erased from memory and corpses are destroyed rather than buried, he becomes the last ghost of humanity’s forgotten fear. Driven by loneliness and rage, Lantry wages a one-man war against a civilization that refuses to remember its dead. Bradbury’s chilling tale is both a meditation on human emotion and a gothic confrontation between memory, mortality, and progress—a story that challenges what it means to truly be alive in an age without death. Perfect for fans of classic speculative fiction, dystopian futures, and gothic horror.

    From the author and translator of the National Book Award finalist and Booker Prize shortlisted Cursed Bunny, comes a novel-in-ghost-stories, set in a mysterious research center that houses cursed objects, where those who open the wrong door might find it’s disappeared behind them, or that the echoing footsteps they’re running from are their own…    The acclaimed Korean horror and sci-fi writer’s goosebump-inducing new book follows an employee on the night shift at the Institute. They soon learn why some employees don't last long at the center. The handkerchief in Room 302 once belonged to the late mother of two sons, whose rivalry imbues the handkerchief with undue power and unravels the lives of those who seek to possess it. Meanwhile a live-streaming, ghost-chasing employee steals a cursed sneaker down the hall, but later finds he can’t escape its tread. The cat in Room 206 begins to reveal the crimes of its former family, wanting to understand its own path to the Institute’s dimly lit halls.  But Chung's haunted institute isn't just a chilling place to play. As in her astounding collections Cursed Bunny and Your Utopia, these violent allegories subtly excavate the horrors of animal cosmetic testing, “conversion therapy,” domestic abuse, and late-stage capitalism. Equal parts bone-chilling, wryly funny, and deeply political, Midnight Timetable is a masterful work of literary horror from one of our time's greatest imaginations.

    Some people have monsters for a boss, but not everyone has an undead Necromancer Lord at the office. 
     
     
     
    Lily has been the Lich's secretary ever since his evilness took over the company. She loves her job, but she's got some questions about her boss. Like what's under that cloak of ever-billowing. 
     
     
     
    Her wondering intensifies when one day the Lich needs something from her that isn't just scheduling appointments—but a shiver. He needs it for a spell, but it feels like it crosses a line from their usual workplace banter. 
     
     
     
    After her contributions to his dark rituals become more than OSHA compliant, she starts to contemplate whether the Lich Lord returns her feelings, or still only sees her as his secretary. Lily may have given him her body, but he never asked for her heart. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
