Summary

She grabbed my hand, pulling me with her to the side of the road, so that we resembled two small, huddled, frightened children, haunted by the mad dance of the wind and the crippled trees. 
The pale white sun peeked out from behind a bulwark of clouds, but even its presence was no comfort - »Don't look at it,« Sarah whispered. 
»The sun?« 
»The sky. Don't look at it. It's where they come from. The sky. The air. They see everything. He sees everything...« 
»Sarah?«, I asked, startled. »Sarah, what's going on?« 
 
The terrified narrator's account of nameless horrors in Dunwich in the story The Girl Who Ran In Circles kicks off a round of new stories and novellas that do not conceal, even in their titles, that they follow H. P. Lovecraft's stories. 
Others evoke nameless horrors of an apocalyptic future or tell new fantastic adventures from the land of Averoigne - a fictional counterpart to a historical province in France - which appeared in a series of short stories from Clark Ashton Smith.
Available since: 12/20/2023.

- Taylor Jenkins Reid 
A washed-up child actor…  A missing twin…  Some stars burn out. Others vanish without a trace. 
Identical twins Will and Billy Benson were once the beloved child-stars of a hit '90s sitcom. One abrupt cancellation, and thirty years later, they've been relegated to ‘Where Are They Now?’ status. Will walked away from the spotlight and settled into obscurity as a security guard. Billy, unable to accept the end of his glory days, spent the intervening decades chasing a comeback, and spiraling further and further into addiction. One night, Billy shows up at Will’s apartment—panicked, bloodied, and mumbling cryptically. Something happened. Something bad, but by morning, he's gone. Now it’s up to Will to chase down clues and find his wayward twin. As he follows a trail of half-truths and faded memories, Will crosses paths with a cast of suspects pulled straight from Hollywood’s underbelly: a seedy agent, a shifty pornstar, a misogynistic online influencer, and a stalker from their fan club days. Piece by piece, Will unravels the mystery of his brother’s disappearance— only to discover that the truth is darker, and far more dangerous, than he ever imagined. Now, he’s running out of time— but the closer he gets to the truth, the closer he gets to being the next to disappear.  
A unique and immersive auditory experience, this audiobook blends evocative music, cinematic sound design, and a riveting performance by Keir O'Donnell that will plunge listeners deep into a thrilling narrative that delivers a powerful emotional punch.
