Fantasy fiction. We think that the world has been pacified, that the wild things of this Earth have been tamed, and all is at peace. We go to bed at night, thanking God we are British and that the Empire has brought order and stability to the globe. But all is not as it appears. For in remote and hidden places, strange and deadly creatures still lurk. High in the heavens deadly Kraken patrol the skies and deep underground the mysterious Shide lie slumbering, ready to stalk our dreams. Scorpion-tailed Manticores prey upon our soldiers in the Persian hills and in the snowy mountains of Tibet the legendary Yeti waits in ambush for the unwary Himalayan traveller. Yes, even with these emerald isles, Monsters linger Vampires, Lycanthropes and Ghoti. I, Major Jack Union, know these creatures inside out, indeed have spent a lifetime searching for them, hunting them down and wiping them from the face of the globe. In this book, I reveal the secret world of Monsters, their appearance, their habitats, their method of attack. I give you the means to defend yourself and the means to preserve the Empire. This, dear friend, is my legacy.

Deadwood meets The Walking Dead in this wild and profane Western romp featuring zombies, werewolves, killer bees, and one pissed-off gun-slinging preacher. The Wild West has never seen the likes of Reverend Jebidiah Mercer, a hard man wielding a burning Bible and a bottle of whiskey in the battle between God and the Devil. Frankly, he’s not sure he gives a damn who wins. As the not-so-good Reverend tangles with a Lovecraftian horror and joins a renegade named Flower to battle a horde of cannibalistic fiends, only this is certain: Mercer’s blasphemous journey is laced with relentless action, terrifying evil, and nonstop humor. This supernatural epic of the Old West that never was will leave you heartily cheering for the good guys—if you can just figure out who the good guys are.

Gilded Age sisters face terrible monsters and their own haunted past in this “thought-provoking, atmospheric, and utterly bewitching” YA novel (Booklist, starred review). Growing up on their family’s Oregon farm, Trudchen Grey believed every word of her older sister Odette’s fantastical stories. But now that Tru’s gotten older, she’s starting to wonder if those tales of their monster-slaying mother were just comforting lies. There’s certainly nothing fantastic about Tru’s own life—permanently disabled and in constant pain from childhood polio. In 1909, after a two-year absence, Od reappears with a suitcase supposedly full of weapons—and a promise to rescue Tru from the monsters on their way to attack her. But it’s Od who seems haunted by something. And when the sisters’ search for their mother leads them to a face-off with the Leeds Devil, a nightmarish beast that’s wreaking havoc in the Mid-Atlantic states, Tru discovers the peculiar possibility that she and her sister—despite their dark pasts and ordinary appearances—might, indeed, have magic after all.
