Pearly’s Smokin’ Cotton Candy Heart: A Short Horror Story by Dona Fox

Pearly’s first trip to the circus with his dad and little sister was magical. He’d never had cotton candy, and he vowed not to eat his; he’d keep it forever. He felt a kinship with the clowns, and he almost understood the strange symbols on their costumes. He even dared a quick touch. On the runway, Dad just couldn’t manage to toss the ball and win a kitten for Lucy until a clown pulled Pearly between the tents and offered to make it happen, for a price. 

“Would you like to be a clown, Pearly?” 

Then everything went sideways.

Amongst the eerie peaks and crevices of the Wichita Mountains, this assembly of pariahs converge. But it isn’t just each other they need be concerned about, because there’s more than frigid winds in the skies over Indian Country.

“A savage read! PC3 unleashes a vicious, blood-soaked novella of appalling monsters, both human and inhuman.”
–Ryan Harding, author of GENITAL GRINDER

The Family Business Mass Market Paperback – August 6, 2013 by Carl Weber (Author), Eric Pete (Author)

Meet the Duncans, a prominent family from Jamaica, Queens. They may be known for their big house, fancy cars, and lavish lifestyle, but that doesn’t make them immune from some over-the-top drama.  

L. C. Duncan has run his successful car dealership in Jamaica, Queens, for more than 30 years, but when the recession hits and the competition gets a little rough, some say it’s time for him to retire. Palm trees and golf sound like fun, but L.C. still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Which one of his kids can he trust to run the family business?

Paris could give any supermodel a run for her money. When she walks in the room, all heads turn, but it’s her anger issues and knack for getting into trouble that most people remember. She’s much more dangerous than anyone gives her credit for . . . except, perhaps, her father.

Orlando is the most obvious choice to lead the Duncans into the future. He has proven himself to be quite the businessman over the years; but sometimes, the most obvious choice isn’t always the best choice. 

Harris Grant is married to L.C.’s oldest daughter. In Harris’s opinion, he’s the most qualified to run the family business. Now he just needs to convince L.C. . . . and make sure no one discovers the secret he’s been keeping.

Harris isn’t the only one with skeletons in the closet. The Duncan family has been keeping a secret of their own: a deep, dark secret that, if revealed, will shock the entire community.

A Thousand Ships: A Novel Hardcover – Deckle Edge, January 26, 2021 by Natalie Haynes

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

“Gorgeous…. With her trademark passion, wit, and fierce feminism, Natalie Haynes gives much-needed voice to the silenced women of the Trojan War.”—Madeline Miller, author of Circe

Shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, a gorgeous retelling of the Trojan War from the perspectives of the many women involved in its causes and consequences—for fans of Madeline Miller.

This is the women’s war, just as much as it is the men’s. They have waited long enough for their turn . . .

This was never the story of one woman, or two. It was the story of them all . . .

In the middle of the night, a woman wakes to find her beloved city engulfed in flames. Ten seemingly endless years of conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans are over. Troy has fallen.

From the Trojan women whose fates now lie in the hands of the Greeks, to the Amazon princess who fought Achilles on their behalf, to Penelope awaiting the return of Odysseus, to the three goddesses whose feud started it all, these are the stories of the women whose lives, loves, and rivalries were forever altered by this long and tragic war.

A woman’s epic, powerfully imbued with new life, A Thousand Ships puts the women, girls and goddesses at the center of the Western world’s great tale ever told.

The Thirteenth Koyote (Splatter Western Book 8) by Kristopher Triana

An evil has returned to the town of Hope’s Hill.

When a grave robber unearths the corpse of Jasper Thurston, a piece of the body is stolen, one that will call the Koyotes from across the plains. They are a vicious company of outlaws, part madmen and part wolves. Their leader is Glenn the Dreadful, and he’s out to gather the power of the Menhir, a particle from an ancient evil.

The fate of Hope’s Hill—and perhaps the world—rests in the hands of unlikely heroes. A rugged U.S. Marshall, a teenage girl out for revenge, an emancipated slave, a nun with a dark secret, and a mysterious half-breed with the number thirteen tattooed on his neck.

The Thirteenth Koyote is a werewolf western from Splatterpunk-Award-winner Kristopher Triana, author of Gone to See the River Man and Full Brutal. Filled with gunfights as well as ghouls, it is a horror epic as big as the open range.

Daughters Of Nri (The Return of the Earth Mother) Hardcover – October 1, 2019 by Reni K Amayo

A gruesome war results in the old gods’ departure from earth. The only remnants of their existence lie in two girls. Twins, separated at birth. Goddesses who grow up believing that they are human. Daughters Of Nri explores their epic journey of self-discovery as they embark on a path back to one another.
Strong-willed Naala grows up seeking adventure in her quiet and small village. While the more reserved Sinai resides in the cold and political palace of Nri. Though miles apart, both girls share an indestructible bond: they share the same blood, the same face, and possess the same unspoken magic, thought to have vanished with the lost gods.

The twin girls were separated at birth, a price paid to ensure their survival from Eze Ochichiri, the man who rules the Kingdom of Nri. Both girls are tested in ways that awaken a mystical, formidable power deep within themselves. Eventually, their paths both lead back to the mighty Eze.

But can they defeat the man who brought the gods themselves to their knees?

An Indie Next Pick!

Some people are extraordinary. Some are just extra. New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune’s YA debut, The Extraordinaries, is a queer coming-of-age story about a fanboy with ADHD and the heroes he loves.

Nick Bell? Not extraordinary. But being the most popular fanfiction writer in the Extraordinaries fandom is a superpower, right?

After a chance encounter with Shadow Star, Nova City’s mightiest hero (and Nick’s biggest crush), Nick sets out to make himself extraordinary. And he’ll do it with or without the reluctant help of Seth Gray, Nick’s best friend (and maybe the love of his life).

Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl meets Marissa Meyer’s Renegades in TJ Klune’s YA debut.
