'Gory' PAUL TREMBLAY 'Bat Eater will swoop in like a bat out of hell, swallow you whole and leave no crumbs' Alice Slater Cora Zeng is a crime scene cleaner, washing away the remains of brutal murders and suicides in Chinatown. The bloody messes don't bother her, not when she's already witnessed the most horrific thing possible: her sister being pushed in front of a train. Before fleeing the scene, the murderer whispered two words: bat eater. Months pass, the killer is never caught, and Cora can barely keep herself together. She pushes away all feelings, disregards the bite marks that appear on her coffee table, and won't take her aunt's advice to prepare for the Hungry Ghost Festival, when the gates of hell open. Cora tries to ignore the rising dread in her stomach, even when she and her weird co-workers begin finding bat carcasses at their crime scene clean-ups. But Cora can't ignore the fact that all their recent clean-ups have been the bodies of East Asian women. Soon Cora will learn, you can't just ignore hungry ghosts.

Read by Bill Nighy.From the minds of Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and Terry Jones (Monty Python) comes Starship Titanic, the hilarious novelization of the third-best adventure game of 1999.Welcome on board the Starship Titanic.The Ship that Cannot Possibly Go Wrong.At the centre of the galaxy, a vast, unknown civilization is preparing for an event of epic proportions: the launch of the greatest, most gorgeous, most technologically advanced spaceship ever built – the Starship Titanic.An Earthling would see the ship as something really, really big, but rather less provincial onlookers would recognize it as the design of Leovinus, the galaxy's most renowned architect. Before the launch Leovinus is having one last little look round and begins to find that things just aren't right: poor workmanship, cybersystems out of control, robots walking into doors. How could this have happened?The following morning, while the galaxy's media looks on, the fabulous ship eases away from the construction dock, picks up speed, sways a little, wobbles a bit, veers wildly and, just before it can do untold damage to everything around it, appears to undergo SMEF (Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure). In just ten seconds, the whole stupendous enterprise is over. And our story has just begun . . .

We live in a world of instant gratification, where happiness feels just a click away. But the constant rush of distractions has left us emotionally dependent and struggling to focus on what truly matters. The good news is that we can restore our lost attention, reconnecting with ourselves and the wonders around us. We can find the emotional balance we long for. With her unique blend of psychological insight and approachability, Dr. Marian Rojas Estapé , international bestselling author of How to Make Good Things Happen and Find your Vitamin Person , dives into the science that explains why we crave quick rewards. She'll introduce you to dopamine , the pleasure hormone, and explain its role in the search for instant gratification, as well as its influence on our perception of pain, boredom, and discomfort. Restore Your Mind, Rebuild Your Life will help you reflect on your own behaviors, understand your emotions, break free from unhealthy patterns, implement "vitamin routines" and take back control of your mind and your life. Ready to transform the way you think, feel, and live? This is your guide.

"A surreal excursion into heartache and horror narrated by a man undone by grief . . . Along with allusions to Rod Serling and The Exorcist, there are shades of H. P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, zombie literature and, at least once, A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . . . You don't want to read this book right before bed." -Sarah Lyall, The New York Times Book Review "This intense cosmic horror with a touch of Mexican American folklore is incredibly creepy and moving." -Margaret Kingsbury, BuzzFeed It was Vera's idea to buy the Itza. The "world's most advanced smart speaker!" didn't interest Thiago, but Vera thought it would be a bit of fun for them amidst all the strange occurrences happening in the condo. It made things worse. The cold spots and scratching in the walls were weird enough, but peculiar packages started showing up at the house-who ordered industrial lye? Then there was the eerie music at odd hours, Thiago waking up to Itza projecting light shows in an empty room. It was funny and strange right up until Vera was killed, and Thiago's world became unbearable. Pundits and politicians all looking to turn his wife's death into a symbol for their own agendas. A barrage of texts from her well-meaning friends about letting go and moving on. Waking to the sound of Itza talking softly to someone in the living room . . . The only thing left to do was get far away from Chicago. Away from everything and everyone. A secluded cabin in Colorado seemed like the perfect place to hole up with his crushing grief. But soon Thiago realizes there is no escape-not from his guilt, not from his simmering rage, and not from the evil hunting him, feeding on his grief, determined to make its way into this world. A bold, original horror novel about grief, loneliness and the oppressive intimacy of technology, This Thing Between Us marks the arrival of a spectacular new talent.

Madelaine Brown loves love - just not in real life. After her mom walked out when she was nine, she decided it was safer to admire romance from a distance. Ever since, she's been all about theory over practice. Unfortunately, life keeps handing her one very annoying exception: Jake West. They've been forced together since childhood - babysat together, spent summers together (fighting), went to the same school, and even landed in the same classes. And through it all, he's remained her finest form of torture. He's adventurous (stupid), flirty (well-rounded), a bit reckless (gets away with the stupidest things), and popular (she still doesn't understand how). When Jake's long-term summer fling dumps him for someone new, he's desperate to save face. Meanwhile, Madelaine's got The Never List - a running list of things she swears she'll never do because, well, she's a chicken (his words, not hers). A deal is struck: she'll fake date him to make his ex (and Madelaine's longtime enemy) jealous, and he'll help her "get a life." But between the fake smiles, forced proximity, and way-too-real moments, Madelaine starts to realize that maybe some things on The Never List aren't so impossible after all. A deal, a list, and way too many almost-kisses - because when life keeps throwing you at the same person, maybe it's not a coincidence. Maybe it's just really bad timing... or something dangerously close to love.

It really is murder in paradise!An iconic bridge... Private investigator, Dan Armstrong, lives and works in Florence and knows the world famous Ponte Vecchio well.

With a fortune in gold bullion and precious stones involved, Dan thinks the only way to catch the killer is to lay a trap, but might he be caught in the killer's sights? Fortunately, he has Oscar, his canine wingman at his side, always eager to prove that he's as good as gold. Can Dan and Oscar sniff out the killer's tracks or will this case be a bridge too far?

The Observer Book of the Year 'The war hero, senator, secretary of state and presidential candidate has plenty to write about - and to be right about'  The Guardian 'Frank, thoughtful and clearly written ... What lingers are not the parts but the whole; not the life, but the man' New York Times  'Draws back the curtain on a life you thought you knew, but turns out to be a bit different ... surprisingly personal'  Washington Post Every Day Is Extra is John Kerry's personal story. The title comes from a saying he and his buddies had in Vietnam. A child of privilege, Kerry went to private schools and Yale, then enlisted in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. He commanded river patrols and was highly decorated, but he discovered that the truth about what was happening in Vietnam was different from what the government was reporting. He returned home disillusioned, became active against the war, and testified in Congress as a 27-year-old veteran who opposed the war. In 2004 he ran for president against the incumbent, George W. Bush and came within one state of winning. In Every Day Is Extra he explains why he chose not to contest widespread voting irregularities in Ohio, fearing that after the 2000 election went to the U.S. Supreme Court, another challenge would undermine confidence in the voting system. Kerry returned to the Senate, endorsed Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in 2008, and when Clinton resigned in 2012 to run for the presidency, Kerry was confirmed as Secretary of State. In that position he tried - and like all his predecessors, failed - to find peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (he is critical of both sides but especially Prime Minister Netanyahu); dealt with the Syrian civil war and the rise of ISIS; negotiated the Iran nuclear deal; and signed the Paris climate accord. Readers of this book, whatever their political persuasion, will come away grateful that we have public servants who are prepared to spend their lives in service to their country. They will also come away with a new appreciation of John Kerry, a man often portrayed as aloof and stiff, but as this book reveals, funny, warm, and dedicated .

The first in the Practical Potions series. Sella is tired of being a failure. She has a lovely, cozy shop-an heirloom from her mother-, a snarky feline familiar, and one, single friend to call her own. It should be enough. But Sella's magical abilities left a stain on her hometown, and even years away didn't repair her reputation. The life of a kitchen witch is rough when everyone thinks Sella's magical blends of coffee and tea will leave them with boils instead of the intended "motivation" or "self-compassion." But when a murder shakes the town and Sella's best friend becomes suspect one, failure is a luxury they can't afford. Luckily, the murdered woman-a confident ghost with a fiery determination for justice-is ready to help... and she's more than Sella ever bargained for. With her friends, her familiar, and a bit of magic, Sella is ready to prove herself once and for all. Although, perhaps she should brew a strong cup of "courage" first. Just in case.
