|
In the heart of Ohio, Jessie Shimmer is caught up in hot, magic-drenched passion with her roguish lover, Cooper Marron, who is teaching her how to tap her supernatural powers. When they try to break a drought by calling down a rainstorm, a hellish portal opens and Cooper is ripped from this world, leaving Jessie fighting for her life against a vicious demon that’s been unleashed. In the aftermath, Jessie, who knows so little about her own true nature, is branded an outlaw. She must survive by her wits and with the help of her familiar, a ferret named Palimpsest. Stalked by malevolent enemies, Jessie is determined to find out what happened to Cooper. But when she moves heaven and earth to find her man, she’ll be shocked by what she discovers — and by what she must ultimately do to save them all. |

Winner of the 2009 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Poetry This collection from rising author Lucy A. Snyder offers three dozen poems to delight readers who enjoy sly wordplay and subtle allusion, high intelligence and fierce heart. “Snyder’s work is complex yet grounded. You can read it on several levels and it’ll work on each and every one. It’s lyrical but rooted in authenticity and validity. There’s truth here, and tackling the truth is the highest calling of any poet. “She’s been through the trenches; she knows the way the world comes down. You can feel it in the work. You’re not just looking at words in a book, you’re regarding a life that’s been opened up and splashed down on the page. This lady is not only courageous, she’s fearless. We need more like her to give us that grand plucking of the guts.” “There is nothing illusory or mechanical about these poems. They take us on a marvelously eclectic journey, with a cast that includes a black hole voicing its thoughts and a dead man coming ‘Home For the Holidays.’ Read and be dazzled.” |

Blood MagicAuthor: Snyder, Lucy A. |
||||
|
Author and editor Lucy A. Snyder collects four disturbing short stories into a collection to keep you company during the lengthening cold nights. Join four characters, willing to plunge into the abyss in their search for the one thing that will make sense of their mad lives. The Dogs of Summer — Betty McCoy is looking for her place in the world, whether that is next to her abusive husband, who once saved her life, or with Ian Dando, the old man she brings meals to and who shares a history with Betty that she can’t even guess at. Flesh and Blood — Mike has found his place, in the bed of Olivia, an elder vampire with an insatiable appetite. But just as he’s settling into his new life, a woman from his past appears with an unexpected problem. But she just might hold the key to Mike’s salvation. . . . And her Shadow — Eleven-year-old Charlotte faces her oncoming adolescence and her uncaring parents with dread. And then comes a creature that exacts a promise from Charlie, power beyond imagining, as long as Charlie goes along with the creature’s plans. If Charlie tires of the plans, though, can she escape her dark shadow? Soul Searching — “I want what everybody wants . . . that special someone who’ll make me . . . complete. I feel so alone, and I think you do too. Are you the man I’m looking for? I said yesterday that you’re a part of things, but I’ve got to make sure . . .” Miko tells Henry. After Miko steps into Henry’s bookstore, his whole life changes and nightmares that he hasn’t had in forty years return to remind him what he’s tried like hell to forget. |
