  Cora has found herself in a pickle. Namely, she's dying. 
   
   
   
  No one can change the hand that fate deals, yet Cora is offered a choice when she reaches the limits of what medicine can do to keep her alive. 
   
   
   
  Will she defy fate and agree to an attempt to transform her into a vampire? 
   
   
   
  The odds of success aren't good. Not to mention that vampires have earned a nasty reputation. 
   
   
   
  To prevent their history of hunting humans, torture, and mad science experiments continuing, vampires have formed a global coalition with the purpose of holding one another to strict standards of behavior and secrecy. 
   
   
   
  Cora's choice is still the quickest way to becoming a magical outcast. 
   
   
   
  Will her decision turn her into a dark version of herself? Or will she die?

  Destiny is a double-edged blade. 
   
   
   
  The Mountain of Ice-Cloak is beset by the ürsi scourge. Every spring they raid flocks and scour the valleys. Migration and trade have slowed to a trickle. Queen Jade was a warrior in her youth, but now a disease gnaws at her bones. As she weakens, the folk favor her eldest daughter to lead them. But prince Firehelm believes Ice-Cloak needs a warrior, not a healer. He wishes to strike back against the ürsi, discover their nest, and gain the folk's favor. 
   
   
   
  When Queen Jade gives Firehelm permission to raise a personal guard, a young dwarf named Korin joins the cause. Beset by uncontrollable tremors that impair his practice of other trades, Korin hopes a warrior's calling may give him purpose. Caught up in friendship, leadership, and fell deeds, Korin follows the prince north to the brink of ancient legend—and perhaps their folk's destiny.

  Ed is a weeper. A professional weeper. 
   
   
   
  He's a card-carrying member of an eccentric union hired to cry at funerals, wakes, services, and burials. It's an odd job, but his services are sorely needed these days, as the town, the region, the country as a whole has become more or less numb. No one is able to summon a shred of human emotion whatsoever. Not anymore. (What'd be the point? The world's already gone to hell.) 
   
   
   
  So there's always work for Ed and his colleagues. But all those cries can wear a man down, and the tears don't flow quite like they used to, even for a consummate pro like Ed. 
   
   
   
  Then one morning, a stranger comes to town. A scrawny kid with no belongings, no parents, no name, no past. And at precisely the moment of his arrival, people begin to experience something new. Something strange. An onslaught of unbidden feelings, unfamiliar feelings, too many feelings. 
   
   
   
  A surrealist story of mourning and messiahs, deserts and droughts, cowboys and junkies, miracles and mass hysteria, the lure of despair and the solace of friendship. Peter Mendelsund's Weepers is a novel for this age: our age of anesthesia and anger.

  Don Rodriguez: Chronicles of...

  Lord Dunsany

  Lord Dunsany was the progenitor of modern fantasy fiction. From Tolkein to Gaiman, from Le Guin to Moorcock, his words inspired an entire genre of modern dark fantasy.A fun adventure in a Spain that never was, in the vein of Dumas and Stevenson, with more than a taste of Cervantes. Don Rodriguez is a young nobleman who is banished from the family castle, and must set out with his rapier and mandolin to win his own estate, and perhaps even a bride. Along with his trusty servant Morano, he journeys far into the heart of the mythical Shadow Valley. Echoes of The Princess Bride resonate throughout. “How to describe this book? It's a pretty problem. As might a child, after dashing off to play on a bright summer morning—hours splashing in the river, exploring the forests, duelling with sticks against the Infidel (or the child next door if the Infidel be not available), winning a week's pocket-money at marbles and losing it again—as such a child, when asked "what did you do today?" simply shrugs and replies "oh, nothing much"; just so should I feel, dear Reader, were I to attempt to pin down the precise qualities of this book for you. It doesn't wash. And yet I must make the attempt. I can say this much: this is a book to be approached lightly. The magic Lord Dunsany weaves is delicate, and you may raise an eyebrow and start to protest that you know the history of Spain, and the events he relates cannot possibly have taken place in the manner he describes. Moreover the characters in his story are surely stereotypes, mere caricatures, and no such people can possibly have walked those dusty roads, and even if they did they cannot have subsisted merely on bacon. Not possible, you say. But when you read of Morano's noble frying pan, of bacon cooked beneath the stars and eaten at the wayfarer's green table, you might find that you believe in Bacon after all.” [Iain, Goodreads]
