However, Homeplace — the dilapidated house and craggy, mountainous farmland to which she’s moved — holds dark family secrets she had no idea about, secrets that begin to surround her and draw her in. What is in the tiny cabin called the “Children’s House?” What is in the boarded up room at the top of the farmhouse stairs or the old well in the yard? Was Charlene’s ancestor truly a witch? Is she part of a familial legacy of cruelty and abuse that she cannot escape?

It all started with the best of intentions. Kate McDolen, an elementary school teacher, knew she had to protect one of her students, little 8-year-old Mistie, from parents who were making her life a living hell. So Kate packed her bags, quietly picked up Mistie after school one day, and set off with her toward what she thought would be a new life. How could she know she was driving headlong into a nightmare?

The nightmare began when Tony jumped into the passenger seat of Kate’s car, waving a gun. Tony was a dangerous girl, more dangerous than anyone could have dreamed. She didn’t admire anything except violence and cruelty, and she had very different plans in mind for Kate and little Mistie. The cross-country trip that followed would turn into a one-way journey to fear, desperation . . . and madness.

When the female population of Sunnydale starts strutting its girl power, the push for gender equality seems like a normal expression of ’90s feminism. After all, a girl trying out for the football team isn’t usually a sign of imminent danger. But when the guys start acting like powerless pawns and a few even turn up dead, Buffy Summers notices that the local womyn’s movement has reached a feverish — and probably unnatural — pitch.

The Slayer is the only one who can see straight during the ultimate battle of the sexes. Her friends — including Giles — are spellbound by the malignant muses permeating the school. Even the local vampires are acting strange. Alone in her search for answers, Buffy must figure out who’s behind the sinister sisterhood . . . and close the gender gap before the feminist revolution goes too far.

Winner of the 1992 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel

From the Editors of Amazon.com:
This grim, claustral story is about the consequences of a primitive form of Christianity practiced in the mountains of Virginia, the author’s home state. The sineater is a man shunned by all, a man whose face should never be seen. He performs the valuable service of absorbing all the sins of each person who dies, by eating ritual food laid out on their corpses. When the sineater’s son, Joel, is allowed to attend school, a series of violent omens convinces the fanatic locals that God is punishing them and that Judgment Day is nigh. As Joel searches for the real perpetrator of the crimes, along with other adolescents who reluctantly listen to him, the plot (the weakest part of the book) begins to resemble a wandering sort of whodunit. The focus of the novel, though, is on the well-evoked mood of fear and despair. Elizabeth Massie works her horror effects with an intimate approach, closing in on her characters as if she’s trapping them. And her descriptions do justice to the rustic setting, where people live in four-room cabins and honeysuckle winds around the knotty rails of the fences.

Sineater won a Bram Stoker Award for First Novel in 1993. Massie also won a Stoker for her novella “Stephen,” published in the first Borderlands anthology. As Tom Monteleone writes in Borderlands 3, Massie wields “a subtle power that rips at your emotions with velvet claws.”

Dissent rises in the kingdom of King Henry VIII of England. The king’s ongoing dispute with the papacy over a desire for annulment is about to incite the Reformation, and his next step is to appoint a new archbishop in order to obtain his long-awaited marriage to Anne Boleyn.

All crests that once bore the initials “H and K” are promptly replaced with an intertwining “H and A,” the first of many significant changes to come. The birth of the new royal couple’s first child, Princess Elizabeth, is followed by the death of Katherine of Aragon. New legislation decrees that any who dare commit an act against the king — or the kingdom’s newfound beliefs — will face extreme consequences. With her husband growing increasingly impatient, it becomes apparent that the only crime Anne could commit against her king would be to deny him a male heir.

As pressures rise in the kingdom, those who once found themselves in the king’s good graces foresee a somber end to their reign. This rich novelization of season two of The Tudors follows the complicated relationship between Henry and Anne through to its historically significant and dramatic conclusion.

America comes of age — as seen through the eyes of its young founders.

Nat and Richard are two orphaned thieves on the streets of London. When John Smith offers them passage as laborers on a merchant ship bound for the New World they jump at the opportunity. What luck! The land of Virginia is rumored to be paved with gold. They will be rich! But quickly the boys learn the awful truth: blinded by greed and arrogance, the settlers of the new English colony at Jamestown are unprepared for the brutal reality of frontier life. Inadequate supplies, illness, petty squabbling, malarial summer heat, and bitter winter cold decimate the colony. Those who escape death are reduced to chewing roots and shoe leather to survive — and, in one horrific instance, cannibalizing a corpse.

Yet by spring more colonists arrive, dreaming of paradise but finding a colony on the brink of starvation.

Through it all Nat and Richard must fall back on their wits to survive.
