Degrees of Darkness
by Tony J. Forder&“An awesome read . . . put it on a scare factor alongside Stephen King and Thomas Harris&”—from the author of the bestselling DI Bliss series (Books from Dusk till Dawn). Pre-teen girls are being abducted from their homes and their families murdered. When Frank Rogers, once a DI with the Met and now running his own debt collection agency, is told that his own daughter is missing, his son murdered, he naturally wants to become involved with the case. Soon Frank&’s face is all over the news. In an unexpected turn of events, the killer contacts the police and says he is willing to talk, but only to Frank. When the body of the first abducted girl is discovered, Frank realizes it is a race against time to save his daughter. In order to solve the case, Frank must work out how the killer is picking his victims. But how do you catch a murderer who is hiding in plain sight? And can Frank unravel the mystery, when he has so much to lose? &“Beginning with such a petrifying opening chapter, Tony J. Forder sets the tone quickly for a chilling and claustrophobic thriller . . . a brilliant, frenetic read that kept me on the edge of my seat.&” —The Quiet Knitter &“The opening set a decidedly chilling scene . . . Forder steadily draws you deeper and deeper into his web of horror until you find yourself wondering how you would deal with the situation if you were in Frank&’s place . . . I would highly recommend Degrees of Darkness to anyone who loves a slightly dark crime thriller.&” —My Eclectic Reads

Degrees of Evil in Iris Murdoch's Fiction and Philosophy (Iris Murdoch Today)
by Daniel ReadThis is the first survey of Murdoch’s exploration of evil, addressing aesthetic, philosophical, political and theological perspectives. The study demonstrates how her work engages with currently urgent issues of trauma, terrorism and psychopathy and brings her works into dialogue with key figures in twentieth- and twenty-first-century discussions of evil, including Hannah Arendt, Carl Gustav Jung, Susan Neiman and Simone Weil. These resonances are traced through close readings of Murdoch’s published fiction and philosophy in combination with unpublished texts, including annotations, interviews and letters. Murdoch’s detailed and nuanced portrayal of evil invites readers to explore the complexities of human behaviour and the potential for moral failure.

Degrees of Love
by Rachel BaschIn the tradition of The Good Mother and The Deep End of the Ocean, a beautifully written first novel about a family's worst nightmare. Jack Keliher and Lily Sterne lead ordinary lives. But when their eighteen-month-old daughter, Katie, is accidentally burned while home alone with Lily and rushed to the hospital, their ordered world begins to unravel. An emergency room physician's report brings the state to take temporary custody of Katie, setting in motion a bureaucratic ordeal in which Lily and Jack are faced with every parent's worst fear: that their child will be taken away from them. Lily fears that her history of mental instability and postpartum depression will be used against her; Jack, in turn, blames Lily. Rachel Basch's quietly compelling narrative alternates between the voices of Jack and Lily as they reveal their increasingly divergent responses to the accident and its consequences. Their fierce struggle to keep their baby safe begins to take its toll on their relationship and their lives, and they are forced to grapple with the emotional and spiritual differences that slowly drive them apart. This exquisite novel's power reaches far beyond the story of an accident and its effect on a family. In depicting the anguish of a family in crisis, Basch has written a stunning work about the nature of privacy, the relationship of work and self, and the fragility--and ultimately, the importance--of love.

Lisa Moore's stories are bright, emotionally engaging, tangible. She marks out the precious moments of her characters' lives against deceptively commonplace backdrops -- a St. John's hospital cafeteria lit only by the lights in the snack machines; a half-built house "like a rib cage around a lungful of sky" -- and the results linger long in the memory. In Degrees of Nakedness Lisa Moore shows us that love, alongside desire, can sometimes come as a surprise, sometimes an ambush.

The Dehumanization of Art and Other Essays on Art, Culture, and Literature
by José Ortega y GassetA classic work on radical aesthetics by one of the great philosophers of the early twentieth century No work of philosopher and essayist José Ortega y Gasset has been more frequently cited, admired, or criticized than his response to modernism, “The Dehumanization of Art.” The essay, originally published in Spanish in 1925, grappled with the newness of nonrepresentational art and sought to make it more understandable to the public. Many embraced the essay as a manifesto extolling the virtues of vanguard artists and promoting efforts to abandon the realism and the romanticism of the nineteenth century. Others took it as a denunciation of everything that was radical about the avant-garde. This Princeton Classics edition makes this essential work, along with four of Ortega’s other critical essays, available in English. A new foreword by Anthony J. Cascardi considers how Ortega’s philosophy remains relevant and significant in the twenty-first century.
