“Truly wicked . . . an historical thriller on a par with The Alienist.” —Steven Katz, screenwriter of Shadow of the Vampire It is the 1920s, and Spiritualism is all the rage. With séances taking place in parlors across the country and Harry Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle arguing metaphysics in the papers, the media embraces the feverish obsession with the paranormal. Twenty-three-year-old Harvard graduate Martin Finch is sent by Scientific American on the investigative opportunity of a lifetime: an examination of the powers of Philadelphia “society psychic” Mina Crawley. But Finch, prepared to debunk a fraud, instead finds himself falling under the spell of the beguiling Mrs. Crawley—and uncovering a truth darker than anyone could have imagined.

Simultaneously lyrical, sinister and bizarre, Manning's works are stylised exercises in controlled sexual tension. Dominatrixes, dancers, fetish models, contortionists and other real-life muses are re-interpreted through the artist's elegant line work as powerful and profoundly sensual beings who give free reign to their exotic and erotic desires.

Something followed Haleema home in this supernatural horror. If she doesn't atone for the past, she'll have no future. After surviving a depressing winter living in the basement apartment of her grandmother’s house, Haleema Hamdan needs to get outside into the bright Virginia sunshine. All she wants to do is scout a suitable location to shoot her best friend Sabrina’s wedding photos and forget about her humiliating past. She hates driving down the single-lane mountain road dubbed 'Witch Road' by the locals. It’s the same place where a head-on collision killed her parents, but it’s the fastest way to Tri-City Park. Torn bits of a red dress and a black tulip lead her into the woods. Her discovery leaves her and the police with more questions than answers. One thing is for certain: there’s a killer on the loose. The tall, mysterious Detective Isa Fauzan assures Haleema that the department will do all they can to keep her safe. The passive-aggressive notes and flowers that keep turning up say otherwise. Haleema must reevaluate her life and figure out who is trustworthy before it’s too late.

Excerpt: ... THE MAJOR'S STORY. FROM my childhood, my friends, I have been a soldier, and my earliest recollections are of the barrack and the camp; while my youth was accustomed to the field and the bivouac. In fact, I have been that much-maligned personage, a soldier of fortune; which means, in most cases, a soldier of no fortune at all.

The expenses of the voyage had absorbed all the little ready money I possessed; and I landed in New York penniless, having nothing but a stout heart and strong limbs, that had so often stood me in good stead. It was the autumnal season; and I strolled all day through the busy streets of the great metropolis of the Western World, studying the new scenes that met my eye; and, as the shades of evening fell, I stretched myself on a bench in Washington Square to rest. I did not fear observation; for I was utterly unknown. I was pale and careworn after my voyage: and my clothes were by no means new, --" my beaver gone to seed; " my shoes, like those of Juli...
