    From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jamie Thornton. 
    STAY ALIVE. DON'T GET BIT. 
    For sixteen-year-old Gabbi, life on the street isn't much different after a virus sweeps away civilization: watch your back, do anything to survive, protect your friends. 
    But Gabbi's friends are imprisoned at a refugee camp and every move she makes puts them in even more danger. Gabbi will do everything to keep her friends alive, but what if everything isn't enough? 
    The stakes are bigger than Gabbi could imagine, pitting Feeb against Feeb, with uninfected and Vs against them all. If Gabbi doesn't outsmart everyone, she'll get her and her friends caught--again. 
    This time they won't all make it out alive.

    When a small New Mexico town becomes a zombie breeding ground, one law man must fight to protect his home in this “thrilling, brutal apocalyptic novella” (Tim Lebbon, author of The Silence). 
     
    Something bad has happened in Nevada. Rumors circulate about plagues and secret government experiments. Paranoia is spreading like wildfire. And it doesn’t help that the President isn't talking. 
     
    In Serenity, New Mexico, Deputy Sheriff Jubal Slate has his hands full. It seems that half the town, including his mother and his boss, are sick from an unusual malady. Even more worrisome is the oddly-colored dawn sky. 
     
    When a strange woman shows up in town with a nightmarish story about what really happened in the Nevada desert, no one believes her. Even as Serenity’s townspeople start dying, the story seems insane. But they won't stay dead for long. And Slate will find out the terrifying truth.

    "What killed him?" asked Reynard. 
    "We don't know it seems like it may have been a dark enchantment," said Death. 
    "Oh?" said Reynard, "Yes what sort of enchantment?" 
    "We are reading up on it in our library of enchantments," said Death. 
    A grim reaper walked out of a dark portal between the dimensions of the living and the dead. 
    "Dante, hi," said Death to the reaper who was his assistant. 
    "Hi, Blake," said Dante the reaper. 
    "Anything new?" asked Death. 
    "Yes we found the spell," said Dante. 
    "What was it?" asked Death. 
    "It came from the Book of Death," Dante said. 
    "You have a book?" said Reynard. 
    "No, its not my book! It's the Egyptian Book of the Dead," said Death. 
    "It's real?" asked Reynard. 
    "Yes," said Dante. 
    "Is it a rogue reaper killing people?" asked Reynard. 
    "No it could be anyone it was lost ages ago?" said Death. 
    "Where?" asked Reynard. 
    "We don't know?" said Death. 
    "How could you lose a cursed book?" asked Reynard shocked. 
    "We don't know it was lost," said Death. 
    Reynard understood, but felt no comfort that a killer had it now.

    “Hilarious and erudite, spooky and unconventional, Darkmans is a dazzling achievement.” — Washington PostShortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, Darkmans is an exhilarating, extraordinary examination of the ways in which history can play jokes on us all... If History is just a sick joke which keeps on repeating itself, then who exactly might be telling it, and why? Could it be John Scogin, Edward IV's infamous court jester, whose favorite pastime was to burn people alive—for a laugh? Or could it be Andrew Boarde, Henry VIII's physician, who kindly wrote John Scogin's biography? Or could it be a tiny Kurd called Gaffar whose days are blighted by an unspeakable terror of–uh–salad? Or a beautiful, bulimic harpy with ridiculously weak bones? Or a man who guards Beckley Woods with a Samurai sword and a pregnant terrier?Darkmans is a very modern book, set in Ashford [a ridiculously modern town], about two very old-fashioned subjects: love and jealousy. It's also a book about invasion, obsession, displacement and possession, about comedy, art, prescription drugs and chiropody. And the main character? The past, which creeps up on the present and whispers something quite dark—quite unspeakable—into its ear.The third of Nicola Barker's narratives of the Thames Gateway, Darkmans is an epic novel of startling originality.
