  For fans of classic sword and sorcery dark fantasy— from Tanith Lee to Fritz Leiber— looking for a modern, imaginative take on the genre, this lyrical gorefest of magic, music, and mayhem will enthrall.
  
  The Red Empress is the only home Erzelle has known since the day her family was lured aboard and murdered, victims of a grisly ritual meant to make the elite immortal. Erzelle plays her harp for the diners inside this ghoul-infested riverboat, knowing her own death looms, escaping through the music that's all she has left of her parents.
  
  
  Her nightmare's upended in the space of a day by the arrival of Olyssa, a fellow musician, but so much more.
  
  
  Erzelle is swept up in Olyssa's quest to find her ensorcelled sister Lilla, a journey across a mutated landscape that leads them to an enemy responsible for the deaths of millions. To stop the slaughter of countless more, the pair has no choice but to draw on the deadly magic that reshaped the world ... a power that's as dangerous to its wielders as it is to its foes, one that's killing Erzelle even as she fights to control it.

  This collection of 63 writings by Mark Twain was published in 1875. Among other sketches, it contains "The Jumping Frog" in the original English, followed by a French translation (read here by Caroline Mittler) which Twain re-translated into English, showing how the French translation of his work was "badly flawed." In many of these sketches, Twain shows his talent for outrageous and hilarious inventiveness, often in reaction to current events. (Summary by John Greenman)

  THE LAND 
  A world without hunger. Without pain. Without struggle. Machines fulfilled every need, and life stretched toward immortality. Humanity stood at its peak—free from the grasp of nature, basking in its own perfection. 
  But perfection has a cost. The Land was not built on compassion, but on exclusion. 
  When the balance broke, the earth itself rebelled. Monuments crumbled. The machines went silent. And humanity turned creation against itself. 
  This is the story of that world—its rise, downfall, and the quiet defiance of those who refused to abandon compassion. A tale of loss and bravery, destruction and renewal, and the desperate fight to keep the last remnant of humanity’s soul. 
    
  For the readers of The Road, Animal Farm, and Dune, welcome to the philosophical utopia.
