There, she begins a journey causing her to question everything she believes about life, death, memories, and reincarnation.In 1925, Alice Lind steps off a train in the rain-soaked coastal hamlet of Gordon Bay, Oregon.

A trained psychologist, Alice believes mysteries of the mind can be unlocked scientifically, but now her views are about to be challenged by one curious child.Seven-year-old Janie O’Daire is a mathematical genius, which is surprising. But what is disturbing are the stories she tells: that her name was once Violet, she grew up in Kansas decades earlier, and she drowned at age nineteen. Alice delves into these stories, at first believing they’re no more than the product of the girl’s vast imagination. But, slowly, Alice comes to the realization that Janie might indeed be telling a strange truth. Alice knows the investigation may endanger her already shaky professional reputation, and as a woman in a field dominated by men she has no room for mistakes. But she is unprepared for the ways it will illuminate terrifying mysteries within her own past, and in the process, irrevocably change her life.

Yo fui Jack el Destripador
by Michael Bray Jorge Ledezma MillánCuando Jack el Destripador aterrorizó Londres en 1888, desencadenaría una ola de misterio tras su desaparición y su cadena de violentos y terroríficos asesinatos terminaría tan rápido como había comenzado, dejando a su paso uno de los crímenes no resueltos más antiguos del mundo. Ahora, en 1907, el biógrafo Charles Hapgood está a punto de recibir la visita de un hombre que, sorprendentemente, afirma ser el famoso Destripador y desea narrar su historia antes de su inminente muerte. Escéptico al principio, Hapgood acepta escuchar su historia, siendo más adelante testigo de una prueba indiscutible de que su visitante dice la verdad y es realmente quien dice ser. Conforme Hapgood escucha la historia del hombre, se va sumergiendo en un mundo de dolor, crueldad, horror y tristeza a medida que descubre cómo un niño inocente se convirtió en el monstruo viviente más grande que el mundo haya conocido jamás. A medida que la historia se desarrolla, el escritor comienza a temer por su propia seguridad ya que el hombre alguna vez conocido como Jack el Destripador utiliza sus propias palabras para narrar su historia, un relato que va mucho más allá de la línea de tiempo conocida de sus horrendos crímenes y alcanza nuevas profundidades de terror y depravación que Hapgood nunca podría haber imaginado.

You Glow in the Dark
by Liliana ColanziIntroducing the Bolivian writer Liliana Colanzi, You Glow in the Dark glimmers with an unearthly light and a nearly radioactive power The seven stories of You Glow in the Dark unfold in a Latin America wrecked and poisoned by human greed, and yet Colanzi’s writing—at once sleek and dense, otherworldly and intensely specific—casts an eerily bright spell over the wreckage. Some stories seem to be set in a near future; all are superbly executed and yet hard to pin down; they often leave the reader wondering: was that realistic or fantastic? Colanzi draws power from Andean cyberpunk just as much as from classic horror writers, and this daring is matched by her energizing simultaneous use of multiplicity and fragmentation—the book's stylistic trademarks. Freely mixing worlds, she uses the Bolivian altiplano as the backdrop for an urban dystopia and blends Aymara with Spanish. Colanzi never gets bogged down; she can be brutal and direct or light-handed and subtle. Her materials are dark, but always there’s the lift of her vivid sense of humor. You Glow in the Dark seizes the reader's attention (from the title on) and holds it: this is a book that announces the arrival of a major new talent.

You Should Have Left: A Novel
by Daniel Kehlmann Ross BenjaminFrom the internationally best-selling author of Measuring the World and F, an eerie and supernatural tale of a writer's emotional collapse"It is fitting that I'm beginning a new notebook up here. New surroundings and new ideas, a new beginning. Fresh air."This passage is from the first entry of a journal kept by the narrator of Daniel Kehlmann's spellbinding new novel. It is the record of the seven days that he, his wife, and his four-year-old daughter spend in a house they have rented in the mountains of Germany—a house that thwarts the expectations of the narrator's recollection and seems to defy the very laws of physics. He is eager to finish a screenplay for a sequel to the movie that launched his career, but something he cannot explain is undermining his convictions and confidence, a process he is recording in this account of the uncanny events that unfold as he tries to understand what, exactly, is happening around him—and within him.
