I Travel by Night and Last Train from Perdition

Robert McCammon

Sinopse

Two short novels featuring the vampiric gunslinger who seeks vengeance and justice across the Old West, from the New York Times–bestselling master of horror. He was once a husband, father, lawyer, and Civil War soldier. Now he is a vampire struggling to hold onto his last thread of humanity—and to destroy the one who made him. In I Travel by Night, Trevor Lawson handles matters from his lair at the Hotel Sanctuaire in New Orleans. When a prominent lumber man comes to him for help—to find and free his kidnapped daughter—Trevor senses a trap, for the man who signed the ransom note is one he knows too well. Traveling towards a ghost town in the dark of the swamps, Trevor soon finds himself preparing for a final showdown against the purest form of evil in existence: the Dark Society and its bloodthirsty queen. With his new sidekick, Ann Kingsley, Trevor travels to Montana in Last Train from Perdition. When they try to free a young man from an outlaw gang, an innocent woman is caught in the crossfire. To save her life—and bring their captured fugitives to justice—Trevor and Ann take the train to Helena, never expecting the ambush that awaits them. For an army of the undead has gathered in the snowy darkness with a very special surprise for Ann: a reunion with her father and sister, who no longer resemble the humans she once loved. “Perfect for Deadwood fans and those who enjoy the American Vampire graphic-novel series by Scott Snyder. Clear a couple of hours, you’ll want to devour this in one sitting.” —Booklist

The Alvarez Girls - A Military...

J.E. Ortega

They Took Her Sister. Now Sheʼs Taking Justice Into Her Own Hands. 
When photographer Yaneriz Alvarez senses somethingʼs off, she listens—not to logic, but to the aching thread thatʼs always tethered her to her twin. Amaya, a soldier stationed at Fort Hood, has gone silent. The Army says sheʼs on leave. Her apartment says otherwise. And the voice of their dead grandmother whispering in Yanerizʼs ear wonʼt let her ignore the truth: something terrible has happened. 
What starts as a sisterʼs search unravels into a chilling web of military coverups, misogyny, and systemic silence. But Yaneriz didnʼt come this far to be quiet. With nothing but her instincts, a camera, and the ghost of the woman who raised them both, sheʼll claw her way through the lies—even if it means becoming the monster they tried to make her out to be. 
THE ALVAREZ GIRLS is a heart-wrenching novella that fuses psychological suspense, sisterhood, and social commentary into a devastating punch. Perfect for fans of The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz and Verity by Colleen Hoover—with a Dominican twist.
