  All roads lead to Underhill, where it's always winter, and never nice. 
   
   
   
  Harry Bodie has a famous grandmother, who wrote beloved children's books set in the delightful world of Underhill. Harry himself is a failing kids' television presenter whose every attempt to advance his career ends in self-sabotage. His family history seems to be nothing but an impediment. 
   
   
   
  An impediment . . . or worse. What if Underhill is real? What if it has been waiting decades for a promised child to visit? What if it isn't delightful at all? And what if its denizens have run out of patience and are taking matters into their own hands?

  Who knew sleeping around could save the entire species? 
   
   
   
  I'm a simple dragon. Give me knowledge, give me research, give me rings for my hoard, and give me athletic men who want to get sweaty between the sheets . . . or anywhere else. Those things make me happy. Other things . . . well, who cares about those? 
   
   
   
  Turns out, I should have cared. Or at least paid attention. Because I somehow signed up for a scientific study run by a shy, nerdy sorcerer with the body of a god. And the study just happens to be about my favorite form of exercise. 
   
   
   
  It doesn't take long for me to know I want to do more than science with Rhys. I've never been the kind of dragon to mix feelings with fun, but Rhys could be the one person who meets all my needs, even if he won't wear a ring on every finger. 
   
   
   
  But when his research becomes more important than any of us could have imagined, our relationship enters a new phase. Now it's up to me to show Rhys how much he's worth . . . both to me and to the future of his species.

  Edward Shoebridge unnerved all who knew him. His eerie stillness and cold curiosity set him apart from others, his fascination with suffering growing more sinister over time. Animals fled from him, servants whispered of curses, and those who crossed his path found themselves trapped in his cruel games. 
  Mai Redding, both the author and narrator of this chilling tale, is a storyteller fascinated by gothic fiction and the unexplained. With a keen eye for atmospheric horror, she weaves haunting narratives that blur the line between reality and legend. Her immersive storytelling draws readers into eerie worlds.

  Trapped - Figuratively or...

  Edgar Allan Poe

  In this volume we explore that difficult situation where lack of choice is your only choice.  We feel trapped either by the body or by the mind.  
   
  Our classic authors put their characters in positions that we can all relate too, and then devise fiendish and uncomfortable ways to deepen the malaise or perhaps offer some sort of escape, however temporary.

  A Woman In Jerusalem - A Novel

  A woman in her forties is a victim of a suicide bombing at a Jerusalem market. Her body lies nameless in a hospital morgue. She had apparently worked as a cleaning woman at a bakery, but there is no record of her employment. When a Jerusalem daily accuses the bakery of ""gross negligence and inhumanity toward an employee,"" the bakery's owner, overwhelmed by guilt, entrusts the task of identifying and burying the victim to a human resources man. This man is at first reluctant to take on the job, but as the facts of the woman's life take shape-she was an engineer from the former Soviet Union, a non-Jew on a religious pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and, judging by an early photograph, beautiful-he yields to feelings of regret, atonement, and even love.At once profoundly serious and highly entertaining, A. B. Yehoshua astonishes us with his masterly, often unexpected turns in the story and with his ability to get under the skin and into the soul of Israel today.
