Apocalypse Yesterday: A Novel
by Brock AdamsWith his best and craziest days behind him, a Florida call center employee struggles through mind-numbing drudgery day after day--but he just might have a way to reclaim the madness and his former life.The zombie apocalypse is over. The humans have won. Life is back to normal. And Rip is bored as hell. It's not much of a life sitting in a call center in the poor town of Spanish Shanty, Florida, answering emails like a drone and listening to customer complaints. Rip was ruler of a tiny kingdom in the Lazy River waterpark, killing zombies by day and making passionate love at night. He misses the danger, the camaraderie, and the blistering love he once knew. He longs to feel Santana--his trusty machete--in his hand, and Davia--the fiercest woman alive--in his arms once again. He can still picture it-- life on the razor's edge--and he would do anything to get that feeling back.But what if Rip could get it back? He's totally desperate. Not normal desperate--more like ready-to-restart-the-apocalypse desperate. Condemning humanity to a repeat merely for an adrenaline rush is probably not a good idea. But life at the call center is nothing more than a slow death, and Rip might not be able to go on without trying to find out.

By Blood We Live
by John Joseph AdamsFrom Dracula to Buffy the Vampire Slayer; from Castlevania to Tru Blood, the romance between popular culture and vampires hearkens back to humanity's darkest, deepest fears, flowing through our very blood, fears of death, and life, and insatiable hunger.

Edited by John Joseph Adams (Wastelands, The Living Dead), By Blood We Live gathers together the best vampire literature of the last three decades from many of today's most renowned authors of fantasy, speculative fiction, and horror, including Stephen King, Joe Hill, Garth Nix, Neil Gaiman, Kelley Armstrong, Ken Macleod, Harry Turtledove, Carrie Vaughn, and Tad Williams.

The Barter
by Siobhan AdcockA heart-stopping tale as provocative as is suspenseful, about two conflicted women, separated by one hundred years, and bound by an unthinkable sacrifice. The Barter is a ghost story and a love story, a riveting emotional tale that also explores motherhood and work and feminism. Set in Texas, in present day, and at the turn of the twentieth century, the novel follows two young mothers at the turning point of their lives. Bridget has given up her career as an attorney to raise her daughter, joining a cadre of stay-at-home mothers seeking fulfillment in a quiet suburb. But for Bridget, some crucial part of the exchange is absent: Something she loves and needs. And now a terrifying presence has entered her home; only nobody but Bridget can feel it. On a farm in 1902, a young city bride takes a farmer husband. The marriage bed will become both crucible and anvil as Rebecca first allows, then negates, the powerful erotic connection between them. She turns her back on John to give all her love to their child. Much will occur in this cold house, none of it good. As Siobhan Adcock crosscuts these stories with mounting tension, each woman arrives at a terrible ordeal of her own making, tinged with love and fear and dread. What will they sacrifice to save their families--and themselves? Readers will slow down to enjoy the gorgeous language, then speed up to see what happens next in a plot that thrums with the weight of decision--and its explosive consequences.

But upon entering the country of Corambis to face judgment for their crimes, the brothers find an insurrection underway to restore the monarchy. In a last ditch attempt to turn the tide, the losing rebels have set an ancient machine in motion on a course of destruction. Only a powerful wizard can put a halt to the engine&’s mysterious and terrifying force. Felix and Mildmay stand ready to take on the challenge—and meet their new destiny. The spellbinding conclusion to award-winning author Katherine Addison&’s captivating series, The Doctrine of Labyrinths. &“Intelligent and well written.&” —Sacramento Book Review &“Terror-inducing plot points and more intimate dilemmas . . . should satisfy even the rare cynical reader who hasn&’t already been won over by [the author&’s] gifts for character, voice, and great prose. —Locus Originally published under the name Sarah Monette.
Mélusine (The Doctrine of Labyrinths)
by Katherine Addison&“[An] extraordinary first fantasy novel focuses on two captivating characters . . . [A] highly original writer with her own unique voice.&” —Publishers Weekly, starred review From an award-winning author, the first book in the spellbinding series, The Doctrine of Labyrinths Welcome to Mélusine , a city as wondrous as it is corrupt. Within its walls lies a stronghold of power and magic, a shining setting for the brilliant Felix Harrowgate. A well-respected wizard and darling of the court, Felix harbors sordid secrets from his peers in the aristocracy: a dark past in which a sadistic wizard enslaved him body and mind, even as he schooled Felix in how to walk among noblemen as if he were one of them. An abuser Felix believes himself free of, until a return to his former master&’s lair leads to his harrowing fall from grace. Broken, lost, Felix finds an unlikely accomplice in Mildmay the Fox. Trained to be an assassin, surviving as a thief, Mildmay knows what it is to be hunted. When fate brings the weakened wizard and the wanted killer together, they escape Mélusine, traveling through strange lands where they encounter peculiar magic and powerful demons. A world where shocking secrets will be laid bare—dark truths that will bind them together forever. &“A lush novel, rife with decadent magic.&” —Jacqueline Carey, New York Times–bestselling author of the Kushiel's Legacy series &“A spellbinding, gut-wrenching, breathtaking quest that resonates with truth and heart.&” —Joan D.

A stronghold where Felix Harrowgate has found his place once more, his sorcery and his sanity restored. But even a wizard at the height of his powers knows well to watch his back. Which is why Mildmay Foxe won&’t let Felix out of his sight. The ex-assassin and former cat burglar is Felix&’s half-brother, a man deeply tied to him by blood and magic. But Mildmay gets caught up in a dangerous attraction to Mehitabel Parr, professional actress and unwilling spy for the Bastion. A rival stronghold of wizards, the Bastion knows Felix is the key to destroying the Mirador.

After all, it was the manipulations of Felix&’s former master that destroyed the magical orb. Now that Felix has determined his course of action, there&’s a very specific companion he needs for this epic journey. Only Mildmay isn&’t so keen on Felix&’s plan. Not only is the assassin and thief grieving his dead lover, he&’s suffering the ill effects of a curse. Besides, Mildmay isn&’t so sure a return to Mélusine is in Felix&’s best interests. But there&’s no persuading Felix otherwise, which means Mildmay is compelled to join forces once more with the mercurial wizard with whom he shares a bond unlike any other. But neither man expects the evil they encounter when they enter Mélusine once more. For Malkar Gennadion, the dark wizard and sadistic master Felix believes himself free of, lies in wait. . . . &“An engagingly intelligent fantasy.&” —Library Journal &“Compelling. . . . The magic is delightfully inventive. . . . Perhaps best of all is [Addison&’s] authorial voice, abundantly blessed with originality, sophistication, and artistry.&” —Booklist Book two in award-winning author Katherine Addison&’s captivating series, The Doctrine of Labyrinths Originally published under the name Sarah Monette.
