  Homer’s Iliad is the first great work of Western literature. Composed in twenty-four books of Greek hexameter poetry, it portrays the events of the last year of the Trojan War. Its translation into rhyming couplets by Alexander Pope is considered by some the greatest act of translation in English. Its power sweeps the reader along through an epic tale that begins with the wrath of Achilles and ends with the burial of Hector, breaker of horses. (Introduction by Steve Perkins)

  A forbidden experiment. A woman transformed. A horror that slips quietly into the world—and never leaves.
  When a scientist conducts a dangerous ritual meant to lift the veil between worlds, he unleashes something ancient, wild, and terrifying. Years later, strange deaths, dark rumors, and a mysterious young woman begin to weave together into a truth too monstrous to comprehend. As the shadows deepen, those who seek answers find themselves staring into the face of a myth that was never meant for human eyes.
  
  Celebrated as "one of the most disturbing works of supernatural fiction ever written," Machen's novella influenced writers like H. P. Lovecraft and remains a cornerstone of cosmic and psychological horror. Its unsettling atmosphere and slow, creeping dread continue to haunt readers over a century later.
  
  If you love eerie mysteries, gothic tension, and stories that linger in the mind long after the final page, this classic will grip you with its quiet, devastating power.
  
  Open the book—if you dare—and glimpse the terror behind the world you think you know.

  A stunning novel of the Tudors from the best-selling author of The Agincourt Bride. 
  Jasper Tudor, son of Queen Catherine and her second husband, Owen Tudor, has grown up far from the intrigue of the royal court. But after he and his brother Edmund are summoned to London, their half-brother, King Henry VI, takes a keen interest in their future. 
  Bestowing Earldoms on them both, Henry also gives them the wardship of the young heiress Margaret Beaufort. Although she is still a child, Jasper becomes devoted to her and is devastated when Henry arranges her betrothal to Edmund. 
  He seeks solace in his estates and in the arms of Jane Hywel, a young Welsh woman who offers him something more meaningful than a dynastic marriage. But passion turns to jeopardy for them both as the Wars of the Roses wreak havoc on the realm. Loyal brother to a fragile king and his domineering queen, Marguerite of Anjou, Jasper must draw on all his guile and courage to preserve their throne − and the Tudor destiny… 
  Jasper's life, a blend of historical events and literary fiction, is punctuated by a top romance that provides a semblance of peace in the midst of the Wars of the Roses. The war, however, poses a constant threat to their love and the stability of the realm. 
  For fans of Carol Mcgrath (The Lost Queen), Alison Weir (Elizabeth of York), Elizabeth Chadwick (The Royal Rebel), Annie Garthwaite (Cecily), and Anne R. Bailey (The Lady Ursula).
