  The Island

  It begins as an ordinary day of frayed nerves and suburban fractiousness. Following a sharp argument with his wife, Graham sets out across London with his young daughter, Jasmine. It is a journey born of a need for space – on the surface, a simple drive to clear the air.
  But as they move through the city, the familiar begins to feel inexplicably foreign.
  The motorways are tightening. The air is changing. On every screen, in every shop window, a recurring image of a remote island haunts the broadcast – an image that pulls Graham back toward a childhood he has tried to outrun.
  As the horizon darkens and the path home becomes increasingly uncertain, Graham is forced to navigate the shifting boundary between a father's protective instinct and a world that is rapidly losing its grip on the known.
  The Island is a devastatingly controlled novella from one of the UK's finest poets. It is a story of what remains when the structures of the everyday fall away: the memories we cannot escape, and the desperate, quiet love between a father and his child.

  Some things don't die in the dark. They find their way out. 
   
  The Whitlow sisters have faced monsters before, but never faced one like this. 
   
  Something ancient has slipped its cage. In a hidden realm just out of reach, a creature long starved of light has begun to feed again. Where it moves, fire and damnation follow. 
   
  Back home in Henley-on-Hale, the thing that has anchored the Whitlows' power for centuries is beginning to fail. And someone they love is taken. 
   
  What begins as a search for answers quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Because whatever has been unleashed isn't just wandering. 
   
  It's actively searching. Drawn by something sacred and bright. 
   
  Something the Whitlows may no longer be strong enough to protect.

  Every door opens. Every door has a toll. 
  Wendy Fletcher is a real witch — and the loneliest girl at Johns & Wakes University. Raised by her grandmother on one unbreakable rule (never take a heart that isn't given freely), Wendy has spent twenty years watching warmth through other people's windows. Then golden-boy quarterback Lance Bowman crashes into her life, and Wendy decides she's done waiting to be chosen. 
  One spell. One little push. What could it cost? 
  Everything. Because the old woman who sold Wendy the working doesn't deal in love — she deals in grief. And when the spell turns deadly, Wendy is offered a bargain no broken heart refuses... from something ancient, patient, and very hungry that has been setting this table since before Wendy was born. 
  Now her best friend, a boy with a baseball bat and a bottle of holy water, and a professor with a two-hundred-year-old secret are all that stand between Wendy and the thing wearing her boyfriend's smile. 
  The Campus Witch is a tragedy about wanting — and a warning about what answers when the wanting gets loud enough. 
  Some doors only swing one way.
