The Shrike and the Shadows: A Dark Retelling of Hansel & Gretel
by A. M. Wright Chantal GadouryThis dark retelling of the classic Grimm Brothers fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel, will leave fans of Alexis Henderson’s The Year of the Witching and Krystal Sutherland’s House of Hollow thirsting for more. “The Shrike and the Shadows is a disturbingly dazzling venture into the depths of not only the woods, but the dangers of human-townsfolk psyche--and the horrifying truth behind folklore. Readers (and most certainly fans of dark historical films "The Witch" and "The Village") will enjoy Gadoury and Wright's inventive take on Hansel & Gretel, and the bloodthirsty entity hunting them.” - Brianna Sugalski, Bestselling Author of Disenchanted The village of Krume is plagued by a haunted wood and a hungry witch. It’s been that way for as long as Hans and Greta can remember, though they have never seen the witch themselves. No one has. When men start to disappear in the cover of night, their bloody hearts turning up on doorsteps, the village falls into frenzied madness. Hans and Greta, two outcast orphans, find themselves facing accusations of witchcraft and are met with an ultimatum: burn at the stake, or leave the village forever. With nowhere else to go, they abandon their only home. As they venture into the strange forest, their path is fraught with horrific creatures, wild and vivid hallucinations, and a mysterious man tied to the witch's past. The Shrike is watching, just beyond the darkness of the woods.

by Bao GuniangMy husband died, his breathing stopped, his heart stopped. On his deathbed, he said bitterly, "I love you." I said, "I've never loved you." I closed my eyes for him and touched his cold body with my own hands. He's dead, I'm sure. Two days later, however, he was standing in front of me again. He was still wearing his dead clothes, and there was a kiss mark on his neck where I'd coaxed him to drink. "I will not allow you to die," he said, smiling at me, his voice soft and sweet. "I will not only keep you alive, but I will not divorce you. I will leave you by my side and torture you to your heart's content."

Silent Agreements: How to Free Your Relationships of Unspoken Expectations
by Linda D. Anderson Sonia R. Banks Michele L. OwensSilent Agreements will help readers define the unspoken beliefs and expectations that might be causing dissatisfaction, unhappiness, and resentment in their relationships, giving them the tools to explore these agreements and work toward healthier communication with a partner, friend, boss, or family member.If you have relationships, you've likely been part of silent agreements. Silent agreements are the implicit "rules" of your relationships that arise from unspoken beliefs and expectations that both parties hold, stemming from your earliest experiences and reinforced as you mature. They can sound something like "The person who makes more money should pay for the dates," or "My boss doesn't offer me a raise, and he knows I won't ask for one." These agreements can hinder your relationships, remaining undiscussed due to fear, aversion to conflict, feelings of obligation, or guilt. Because expectations so rarely line up and neither person will address the issue, a silent agreement can cause unhappiness and resentment on both sides. Clinical psychologists Drs. Anderson, Banks, and Owens will help you explore your agreements and work towards healthier communication with a partner, friend, boss, or family member. In the process, you'll learn more about your own motivations and how to dismantle the the beliefs that don't serve you. With guidelines and advice on how to have productive conversations about sex, money, commitment, family, the workplace, and health, this book will help you lift the silence and resolve those land-mine issues before they do irreparable damage.
