When Your Twenties Are Darker Than You Expected explores the darkest, most unmanageable emotions that your twenties grow in your gut: Depression, Suicidality, Regret, Grief, Doubt, Dissatisfaction, Anxiety, Loneliness, and Lust. You may not know any of these words intimately. If that's the case, I recommend you don't purchase this book. This is a meeting place for those who are desperate in their darkness, with the clear conviction that God and humanity have abandoned them. "Paul's writing is like Tim Ferris meets Søren Kierkegaard - the tactical colliding with the existential." -Stephen Christian, lead singer of Anberlin ""Paul Maxwell is the Kierkegaard of our generation. ... If you know what I mean when I say 'Darkness,' then you simply must buy this book." -Daniel Montgomery, Founder of Sojourn Network "This book ... is exemplary, as well as unique: raw, confessional, and devotional; something like Augustine meets Sylvia Plath." -Eric Johnson, Lawrence and Charlotte Hoover Professor of Pastoral Care, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary "Paul is one of the most intelligent people I know, fiercely honest, and genuine. That's the kind of companion and guide you need. ... His writing is studded with thoughtful allusions, poetic phrases, and images. Mine them for their riches. Meditate on them." -Winston Smith, CCEF Faculty, Episcopal Priest

From a beloved master of crime fiction, Darker Than Amber is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat. A fishing trip is anything but relaxing when Travis McGee is involved. As McGee and his friend Meyer settle down to some midnight casting, a woman falls into the water from the bridge above them. Her name is Evangeline, and the hints she gives about the events leading to her near drowning suggest a less than pristine past. But McGee has saved her, and now he wants to see her make a new life—even if it means confronting a gang of murderers that makes his blood run cold. “John D. MacDonald is a shining example for all of us in his field.”—Mary Higgins Clark Evangeline may be the intended target in a complex scheme, but she’s no ordinary victim. Behind her darker than amber eyes is a woman who lures men onto her boat and robs them, throwing them overboard when she’s done with them. And now she’s enlisted the resistant Travis and Meyer to rescue her “savings” from her partners in crime. When Evangeline winds up dead, McGee and Meyer must get involved. But the stakes are high—and Evangeline may not be the only casualty of her cruel game. Features a new Introduction by Lee Child

We Think the World of You combines acute social realism and dark fantasy, and was described by J.R. Ackerley as “a fairy tale for adults.” Frank, the narrator, is a middle-aged civil servant, intelligent, acerbic, self-righteous, angry. He is in love with Johnny, a young, married, working-class man with a sweetly easygoing nature. When Johnny is sent to prison for committing a petty theft, Frank gets caught up in a struggle with Johnny’s wife and parents for access to him. Their struggle finds a strange focus in Johnny’s dog—a beautiful but neglected German shepherd named Evie. And it is she, in the end, who becomes the improbable and undeniable guardian of Frank’s inner world.

Schwab Kell is one of the last Antari—magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time, Black. Kell was raised in Arnes—Red London—and officially serves the Maresh Empire as an ambassador, traveling between the frequent bloody regime changes in White London and the court of George III in the dullest of Londons, the one without any magic left to see.

It's a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand. After an exchange goes awry, Kell escapes to Grey London and runs into Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations.
