The sudden death of his young wife has left him shaken, and he gets eerie sensations as he roams around the big, old house he inherited from his mother. He's sure he's seen people snooping around his property, by the old well that, in this wet weather, always seems ready to overflow. How much is real and how much is in his head? That's the question.A late-night phone call brings more bad news: Phil's sister has died, leaving her ten-year-old daughter Betsy an orphan and naming Phil as guardian. It seems like a bad time to bring a child into this unhappy house, but Phil had always promised he'd take care of Betsy - and now she's all the family he has left.What he can't know is that Betsy is a very special child. She has the ability to sense the powerful emotions of the past, to hear voices of the dead, and to see the uncanny powers that are closing in around this house...James P.

Blaylock's evocative prose and studied pacing make him one of the most distinctive contributors to American magical realism." -- Library Journal"This may be Blaylock's weirdest yet: intriguing, dramatic, atmospheric." -- Kirkus Reviews

The Ramayana: A Modern Retelling of the Great Indian Epic
by Ramesh Menon“One of the ancient world’s great verse epics is retold in energetic English prose in this sparkling volume . . . A masterpiece made new.” —Kirkus ReviewsIndia’s most beloved and enduring legend, the Ramayana is widely acknowledged to be one of the world’s great literary masterpieces. Still an integral part of India’s cultural and religious expression, the Ramayana was originally composed by the Sanskrit poet Valmiki around 300 b.c. The epic of Prince Rama’s betrayal, exile, and struggle to rescue his faithful wife, Sita, from the clutches of a demon and to reclaim his throne has profoundly affected the literature, art, and culture of South and Southeast Asia—an influence most likely unparalleled in the history of world literature, except, possibly, for the Bible. Throughout the centuries, countless versions of the epic have been produced in numerous formats and languages. But previous English versions have been either too short to capture the magnitude of the original; too secular in presenting what is, in effect, scripture; or dry, line-by-line translations. Now novelist Ramesh Menon has rendered the tale in lyrical prose that conveys all the beauty and excitement of the original, while making this spiritual and literary classic accessible to a new generation of readers.“Reverent, lyrical, and engaging, Menon’s retelling is an impressive addition to the voluminous lore—oral, written, and performed—that collectively comprises the Rama story tradition of India and Southeast Asia . . . it brings this great story to life once more for an English-language audience.” —Philip Lutgendorf, Associate Professor of Hindi and Modern Indian Studies, University of Iowa“A beautiful new rendering of an inexhaustible theme.” —Peter Brook, Film and Theatre Director
