  Rowan never expected investigating the mysterious death of Emery Lancaster would lead her into a world where the line between the living and the dead blurs. What begins as a quest for justice quickly takes an unexpected turn when someone tries to stop her investigation with violence, and that's when Rowan realizes the truth: Emery's spirit hasn't truly left. She can see and even interact with her, caught in an impossible bond that deepens with each passing moment.
  As Rowan digs deeper, she discovers the investigation is more than just about uncovering a death. It's about untangling an ancient, dangerous legacy. The more she uncovers about the Kasper family and their connection to Emery's death, the more entangled she becomes, not just in the mystery, but in her growing bond with Emery's spirit. Every clue she uncovers reveals another layer of danger and intrigue, and the connection between them intensifies in ways Rowan cannot explain.
  What started as a search for answers soon becomes a fight for something much more personal. The line between duty and desire begins to fade as Rowan finds herself falling for Emery in a way that defies reason. As Rowan delves deeper into the family's dark rituals, she faces an impossible choice. With an ancient sacrifice looming, Rowan must decide how far she's willing to go to save Emery -- not just as a memory, but as the woman she's falling for. The more she learns, the more she realizes bringing Emery back may mean defying everything she believes about life, death, and the power of love. But is love between the living and the dead even possible?

  Spent - A Comic Novel

  The celebrated and beloved New York Times bestselling author of the modern classic Fun Home presents a laugh-out-loud, brilliant, and passionately political work of autofiction, adapted for audio by the author herself and brought to life with a full cast star-studded cast including Alison Bechdel as Narrator, Jenn Colella as Alison, and Ali Liebegott as Lois 
  In Alison Bechdel’s hilariously skewering and gloriously cast new comic novel confection, a cartoonist named Alison Bechdel, running a pygmy goat sanctuary in Vermont, is existentially irked by a climate-challenged world and a citizenry on the brink of civil war. She wonders: Can she pull humanity out of its death spiral by writing a scathingly self-critical memoir about her own greed and privilege? 
  Meanwhile, Alison’s first graphic memoir about growing up with her father, a taxidermist who specialized in replicas of Victorian animal displays, has been adapted into a highly successful TV series. It’s a phenomenon that makes Alison, formerly on the cultural margins, the envy of her friend group (recognizable as characters, now middle-aged and living communally in Vermont, from Bechdel’s beloved comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For). 
  As the TV show Death and Taxidermy racks up Emmy after Emmy—and when Alison’s Pauline Bunyanesque partner Holly posts an instructional wood-chopping video that goes viral—Alison’s own envy spirals. Why couldn’t she be the writer for a critically lauded and wildly popular reality TV show…like Queer Eye...showing people how to free themselves from consumer capitalism and live a more ethical life?!! 
  Produced with immersive sound effects and music, Spent’s rollicking and masterful denouement—making the case for seizing what’s true about life in the world at this moment, before it’s too late—once again proves that “nobody does it better” (New York Times Book Review) than the real Alison Bechdel.

  A spellbinding tale of hidden desires, whispered secrets, and a darkness that lingers behind every locked door. 
   
  Yorkshire, 1898. 
   
  When twenty-one-year-old Lilianne Loxley is sent to Lord Bexton's isolated estate to work off her uncle's debts, she expects drudgery—not danger. With her gift for mimicry, she becomes Bexton's secretary—and his reluctant forger. Soon she's trapped in a scheme to create a "lost" novel by Emily Brontë, a deception that could make—or destroy—fortunes. 
   
  The house is full of secrets: footsteps echo in empty corridors, lemon-scented ghosts haunt her sleepless nights, and a portrait seems to watch her every move. Yet it's the living who unsettle her most—especially Wren McAllister, the sharp-tongued maid whose defiance hides a tender heart. Drawn together by loss and longing, Lily and Wren risk everything for a freedom neither has ever known. 
   
  As the line between truth and invention blurs, Lily uncovers a shocking connection to the Brontë family—and to Bexton himself—that will force her to choose between love, loyalty, and the dangerous power of her own pen.

  Desire is his downfall. 
   
   
   
  Rejected by his ruthless family and the god he betrayed them for, Leth is desperate for a chance to prove himself. A purpose for his sword and magic. Anything beyond the legacy of restraint and repression that's broken him down again and again. 
   
   
   
  But his new quest comes with an infuriatingly familiar companion. 
   
   
   
  Evain draws power from human desire. Every heated glance or tender touch feeds the flames of his magic. He has little patience for a frigid sword-witch who hates anything demonic—but somehow, traveling with pretty Leth makes him feel stronger than ever. On the rare occasion Leth deigns to look at him. 
   
   
   
  Wild magic and winter nights throw them together, and cracks start forming in their first impressions. Leth wants more than a purpose from Evain, and Evain wants more than heated glances from Leth. But Evain's hiding a secret that could shatter their fragile trust: he isn't human. 
   
   
   
  And Leth can't afford weakness when his family's out for blood. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
