There is a kind of pain no one sees. 
No scars. 
 No bruises. 
 No clear story you can easily explain. 
And yet… 
 you feel it every single day. 
In your chest when things get quiet. 
 In your mind that won’t slow down. 
 In the exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix. 
 In the way certain moments hit deeper than they should. 
You’ve learned to live with it. 
 To function through it. 
 To tell yourself, “I’m fine.” 
But deep down, you know the truth: 
Something inside you hasn’t healed. 
This book is for the part of you that is tired of carrying what no one else can see.

Resident Evil

Philip J Reed

Now a sprawling video game franchise, Resident Evil has kept us on the edge of our seats for decades with its tried-and-true brand of jump scares, zombie action, and biological horror. But even decades after its release, we can't stop revisiting the original's thrills, chills, and sometimes unintentional spills. 
 
  
 
Pop culture writer and horror cinephile Philip J Reed takes dead aim at 1996's Resident Evil, the game that named and defined the genre we now call "survival horror." While examining Resident Evil's influences from the worlds of film, literature, and video games alike, Reed's love letter to horror examines how the game's groundbreaking design and its atmospheric fixed-cam cinematography work to thrill and terrify players—and why that terror may even be good for you. 
 
 
 
Featuring a foreword from Troma Entertainment legend Lloyd Kaufman and new interviews with the game's voice actors and its live-action cast, the book serves as the master of unlocking the behind-the-scenes secrets of Resident Evil, and shows how even a game filled with the most laughable dialogue can still scare the pants off of you.

The Sea in the Metro

Jayne Tuttle

I am the worst person in the world. 
Bad mother. Bad lover. Bad worker. Bad woman. Bad friend ... 
 
An exploration of motherdom and ego, culture and art, love and pain, The Sea in the Metro tells the story of a new mother in Paris trying to make it work – and failing. What happens when the control you thought you had over your life is usurped by your nature? 
 
Jayne was raised to believe she could have everything. Child, career, relationship, even a life in Paris. So why does she feel like a monster? As her ego wars with her natural instincts, Jayne searches for answers in friendship, the city, memories of her late mother, art, writing and New Wave films … and finds only more questions. There are parts of herself that parenthood won't let her avoid. 
 
Unsentimental and untamed, The Sea in the Metro is an unflinching excavation of modern womanhood that marks the thrilling return of an incredible talent in Australian literature. 
 
'A witty and observant raconteur, and merciless chronicler of her own foibles, she's like the love child of David Sedaris and Helen Garner.' LINDA JAIVIN, The Saturday Paper 
 
'A vivid memoir of damage, grace and healing which manages to be funny, irreverent and moving all at once.' LUKE DAVIES 
 
'Jayne Tuttle's writing is a delicious delight.' CHRISTOS TSIOLKAS
