Summary

🔥 What does it mean to be brave when terror grips your soul?

Stephen Crane's groundbreaking novel, The Red Badge of Courage, delivers a raw and unforgettable portrayal of the human experience in battle. Following Henry Fleming, a young soldier in the American Civil War, the story explores his inner struggles—fear, shame, courage, and the desperate longing for honor.

Unlike any war novel before it, Crane strips away romantic illusions of combat and presents war with shocking realism. With vivid imagery and psychological depth, he immerses readers in the chaos of battle, the pounding of hearts, and the haunting silence of fear.

Hailed as one of the first great modern American novels, The Red Badge of Courage remains a cornerstone of world literature. Whether you are drawn to historical fiction, psychological exploration, or timeless classics, this novel will move, challenge, and inspire you.

    'Beautifully written and both heartbreaking and heartwarming' Jessica Redland  
    When Seren’s brother Andrew signs her up to Yorkshire Dating, only for them to recommend that she ‘gets a life’ before they find her a match, Seren has to admit that they may have a point.  
    She loves her job cooking at an elder day centre and her little flat, but it’s fair to say her life is a little short of hobbies and friends. Since she was young Seren has felt safer close to home, but now she’s a thirty-something divorcee, it’s time for a change. 
    Change arrives in the shape of alarmingly clever collie Kez, who Seren offers to take in ‘temporarily’, and kind but mysterious new colleague Ned. But as Ned and Kez tempt Seren out of her shell, it means facing her fears. And when Andrew finally reveals the secrets of their childhood, Seren’s need for safety suddenly makes sense. 
    A problem shared is a problem halved, and with friends by her side, Seren might be able to get a life that she loves at last. 
    A charming read from bestselling author Jane Lovering, perfect for fans of Jessica Redland, Beth Moran and Jo Barlett.

    The grounds of Camp Havenside look innocent enough — a chapel and worship pavilion, cleanly separated girls and boys cabins, and a lush forest surrounding it that, when the sun falls, goes still and undisturbed with a strange quietude. 
    Suffering from a crisis of faith, Sam, a young church-going teenager, accompanies his youth group to the long-undisturbed Camp Havenside to seek spiritual enlightenment. What he finds is something very, very different. As all supposed virtues and sacraments are perverted in brutal, bodily horrors, so creeps the approach of something that has slept in the secret folds of a cloistered Christian church camp for generations — waiting for someone to haunt.
