Product Information

This] novel is about how work, as defined by late-stage capitalism, has gradually become the sole purpose of our lives. " – Ian Mond, Locus Magazine As Dee and Margaretta delve deeper into their investigation, they uncover a web of deceit, political intrigue and treachery that threatens to engulf them both. When more bodies are discovered and arrests are made, time is running out. With rumours of witchcraft and treason swirling around them, can they untangle the mystery before it’s too late? The text lives up to the promise, too, but expect it to be more in line with a B-Movie horrorshow that doesn't spare the kids. At all. Well, not really traumatizing to me but I'm sure many people will be traumatized after reading about this camping trip gone wrong of a French school class. Through sheer ambition and force of will, Lin has rebranded her entire existence. She's shrugged off her past to fully embrace a new identity: Linfluencer, the high-end influencer whose Outfits Of The Day are obsessively followed by every budding fashionista with a blossoming social media addiction.

This novel by French author Grégoire Courtois is horror more than anything else, and it didn't really work for me, so I'm trying to figure out if I just don't like horror (I hated this bloodbath, but loved this freak show), or if it's all just kinda silly. The cries of the children calling for their mothers had filled the space and made everything tremble, tremors that reached the most obtuse of sensibilities, moving anyone who could detect the vibration, that is, anyone other than you, dear reader, who have the privilege and the curse of grasping the unbearable birds-eye view of a forest, plunged into the darkness of one inconsequential night, from which rise the cries for help of children left to their own devices, and children who have died, or who will die, and whose salvation you can do nothing for."I would and will read anything this man publishes. Any writer that isn't afraid to take an unflinching high dive off the deep end of an unthinkable cliff is my favorite type and Courtois is a master. If you know me you know I'm always up for the creepy/evil child trope in books or film. This book took that trope to a whole different level with little Enzo. He's like an aggressively rabid dog. You feel deeply for it, you wish you could help it or even comfort it somehow, but you also want it to stay very far away from you.

The bus pulled away along the village road, and the parents' long shadows shrunk behind the condensation-covered windows.

Finding the battered body of a young boy was not unusual in Bloody Mary’s cruel England. However, the stabbed tongue, a false seal and strange letter implicate Princess Elizabeth, threatening to bring down the Tudor Dynasty. For a bunch of SIX (6) y/o, they were incredibly advanced..in more ways than one. There was lots of philosophical inner monologue for one. I don't remember being six, but I sure as hell know I wasn't thinking about the meaning of life and friendships at that age. There was also this weird three-way relationship between this trio where they were 'in love' with each other. What does a six year old know about romantic love? Having a crush is one thing, but to this extent?
