  Notes from Underground is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky, presented as the memoir of a bitter, isolated, and unnamed former civil servant, often called the "Underground Man". The book is divided into two parts: the first is a philosophical monologue critiquing society, rationalism, and humanity's irrational nature, while the second part recounts a series of humiliating and self-destructive interactions from his past. It is considered one of the first existentialist novels and explores themes of alienation, free will, and the psychological complexity of the human psyche.

  In a town where health is currency and longing is lure, a reluctant investigator and seamstress must uncover whether hunger will anchor a man already slipping into the dark. 
  Behind the decrepit doors of an infirmary said to offer miraculous cures to London's ailing elite, people are vanishing. Private Investigator and estranged heir to French aristocracy Jacques Valmont is summoned across the channel to sleuth, despite the lingering sickness of his own—one of grief that stirs in his blood and shadows his mind. 
  Amidst the fog and fever, he finds an unlikely ally in Annie, the quick-witted seamstress working next door to Beecham's Infirmary, whose presence seems to quiet the storm inside him. When she suggests the only way to breach the infirmary's guarded walls is becoming a patient himself, Annie's grandmother warns them both of curses that fester with longing. Unnatural aches that transform a person entirely, if not quelled. 
  As Jacques nears the truth, desire and dread twist together. Annie may be the last tether holding him to his humanity—or the final thread that unravels it.

  Kael’Nyrin Scrolls The: Our...

  Where speculative fiction meets philosophical depth, this work redefines humanity’s place in the cosmic tapestry. 
  In the Mariana Trench, a crystalline obelisk revealed the Kael’Nyrin Scrolls—records of a trans‑dimensional civilization, Kardashev III architects who seeded life across galaxies. We are their legacy, children born of starlight. 
  It began in shadows: a rain‑slicked London alley, a scientist burdened by secrets handing me an encrypted drive. “The world deserves to know,” he whispered, then vanished—swallowed by the night. 
  Inside were fragments of the Scrolls and his desperate log. The Kael’Nyrin emerge not as conquerors but as subtle architects. Their creed: Guide without touching, shape without holding. Gardeners of life, conductors of a symphony spanning eons. 
  Yet their legacy bore fractures—schisms, rogue interventions, ecological collapses, genetic compromises echoing through time. The Scrolls reflect wisdom and humility, restraint over dominion, even as they acknowledged failure. 
  As the consortium buckles under the revelations, readers confront a staggering truth: our empathy, our art, our consciousness may be the lingering echo of a civilization that nurtured life without claiming it. 
  When a reckless experiment awakens the obelisk’s defenses, catastrophe strikes—a final lesson that power without wisdom brings ruin. The truth remains suppressed. 
  The ultimate message is responsibility—a sacred warning, a cosmic psalm, a quiet plea. Humanity must prove worthy of the light bestowed. The Kael’Nyrin set the stage. The pen now rests in human hands.

  "The audiobook version of The Talk,...isn’t a graphic novel stripped of its pictures; it’s a radio play that delivers its own powerful aural experience. The production employs music, subtle sound effects and a cast that includes Bell and his little boy. The charming humor and incisive wisdom that elevates the print version of 'The Talk' are amply conveyed by these narrators in an audiobook that’s clearly been designed from the bottom up to exploit the format’s unique advantages. For some listeners, this will be a deeply personal experience; for others, an illuminating lesson in empathy. But no matter who you are, you’re ready to have “The Talk."—The Washington Post“In its audio translation, the highlight is Darrin Bell’s storytelling ability, enriched by a soundscape that includes music, sound effects, and archival audio...a powerhouse audio that should be widely recommended.”—Booklist (Starred Review)This program features multicast narration.Winner of the NAACP Image Award in Outstanding Graphic NovelsWinner of the Libby Award for Best Comic/Graphic Novel of the YearNominated for an Eisner Award for Best Graphic MemoirNamed The Year's Best Graphic Novel by Publishers WeeklyNamed one of Publishers Weekly's Top Ten Best Books of 2023Named one of NPR's Books We LoveNamed one of Kirkus' Best 2023 BooksNamed one of the Washington Post's 10 best graphic novels of 2023One of TIME Magazine's Must-Read Books of the YearShortlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction 2024Booklist Editors' Choice: Graphic Novels, 2023New York Public Library's Best New Comics of 2023 Top Ten PickChicago Public Library's Best Books of 2023 Top Ten PickNamed one of School Library Journal's Best Graphic Novels of 2023Named one of The Guardian's Best Graphic Novels of 2023Darrin Bell was six years old when his mother told him he couldn’t have a realistic water gun. She said she feared for his safety, that police tend to think of little Black boys as older and less innocent than they really are.In this immersive audiobook adaptation—with wall-to-wall sound design, an expansive music soundtrack, and full-cast narration including the author and his son—Bell uses his sharp humor to examine how The Talk shaped intimate and public moments from childhood to adulthood. While coming of age in Los Angeles—and finding a voice through cartooning—Bell becomes painfully aware of being regarded as dangerous by white teachers, neighbors, and police officers and thus of his mortality. Drawing attention to the brutal murders of African Americans and showcasing revealing insights and cartoons along the way, he brings us up to the moment of reckoning when people took to the streets protesting the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. And now Bell must decide whether he and his own six-year-old son are ready to have The Talk."In The Talk, Bell combines the overtly personal and the sociopolitical in a textured autobiography that blends raw honestly, moving memories and powerful insights on race and police relations.” —The Washington Post A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
