Description:

When an unspeakable ancient evil returns, an orphan girl’s secret may be the world’s only hope.

After witnessing the murder of her mother and enduring captivity by outlaws,

a young girl finds herself the slave of a brutal mountain man. Trapped by magical wards carved into the trees surrounding a trapper’s shack, the girl almost gives up hope.

The arrival of a ghostly gunfighter,

as pale as the moon, changes her fate. An old man with long, stringy hair and a penchant for quoting Shakespeare, he promises her escape and freedom, but only if she trusts him with the only thing she has left… her name.

Together with a giant wolf made of living shadows,

the girl and her protector embark on a fateful quest across the hauntingly beautiful plains to confront an ancient evil that threatens to engulf the world.

“A slam-bang mix of old west myth and dark fantasy legend, A THING IMMORTAL is a gritty, gunslinging triumph, chock-full of powerful medicine. "TRUE GRIT meets THE WITCHER.”

A post apocalyptic horror novel. In 1968, eccentric billionaire Joseph Jennings builds a nuclear bunker deep within a mountain in Alaska. The caverns have been used by humans before: ancient paintings depict figures surrounding an altar, worshipping a dark, monstrous creature. Jenning's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic: he never leaves the bunker, and becomes obsessed with the paintings and the creature. He disappears. The cavern is abandoned. The project aborted. Fifty years later, the bunker has been transformed into the Sanctuary - an exclusive retreat for the world’s wealthiest elite. War looms, and the elite flee to the Sanctuary as a nuclear apocalypse unfolds. Then the killings begin. Something else is in there. It always has been.

 An isolated mansion. A chillingly charismatic aristocrat. And a brave socialite drawn to expose their treacherous secrets. . . . From the author of

Gods of Jade and Shadow

comes “a terrifying twist on classic gothic horror” (

Kirkus Reviews

) set in glamorous 1950s Mexico.

After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find—her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region.    Noemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin’s new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi’s dreams with visions of blood and doom. Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemí, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family’s past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family’s once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.  And Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.

“It’s as if a supernatural power compels us to turn the pages of the gripping

Mexican Gothic

The Washington Post

“Mexican Gothic is the perfect summer horror read, and marks Moreno-Garcia with her hypnotic and engaging prose as one of the genre’s most exciting talents.”

Nerdist

“A period thriller as rich in suspense as it is in lush ’50s atmosphere.”

bestselling author of

FINALIST FOR THE LOCUS AWARD

As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined . . . until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing—and too earth-shattering in its implications—to be forgotten. In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it. Kate’s is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanity’s defiance in the face of a terrible predator’s gaze, and, inevitably, of savagery and death.Yet it is also far more than that.Because if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us—and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity.Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, this is a Bigfoot story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it—and like none you’ve ever read before.
