My Year in the No-Man's-Bay: A Novel
by Peter HandkeNobel Prize winner Peter Handke's autobiographical novel My Year in No-Man's Bay is "a meditation on two decades of a writer's life culminating in a solitary, sobering year of reckoning" (Publishers Weekly).In his most substantial novel to date, Handke tells the story of an Austrian writer--a man much like Handke himself--who undergoes a "metamorphosis" from self-assured artist into passive "observer and chronicler." He explores the world and describes his many severed relationships, from his tenuous contact with his son, to a failed marriage to "the Catalan," to a doomed love affair with a former Miss Yugoslavia. As the writer sifts through his memories, he is also under pressure to complete his next novel, but he cannot decide how to come to terms with both the complexity of the world and the inability of his novel to reflect it.

by Anna TrissI’m Myrina Holmes, the top Tracker of Infernum, tasked with neutralizing supernatural creatures who disobey our laws. In my world, demons have legions. Fourteen to be precise: seven dedicated to the cardinal virtues and seven ruled by the deadly sins. As a marginal hybrid, I belong to neither camp, which suits me just fine. I love my job and my life on Earth when I’m not on a mission. Except, of course, when mysterious corpses literally fall from the sky to torture my brain and when my succubus half-sister starts hanging out with the most detestable Hybresang there is, Kelen Wills. A supremely powerful sinner, commander-in-chief of an elite army, he doesn’t embody one deadly sin. No, he possesses all seven—with a penchant for lust, anger, pride, and gluttony. But keep that detail to yourself… Anyway, this guy has made it his mission to seduce me, probably because I’m the only woman who can resist his dubious charms. This Hybresang can go to hell, because I have other midnight demons to deal with.
