The Invisible Hotel: A Novel
Par Yeji Y. Ham. 2024
A work of literary horror in the gothic tradition, The Invisible Hotel is a startling, speculative tale of political and…
ideological adolescence in the long afterlife of the Korean War.Yewon dreams of a hotel. In the hotel, there are infinite keys to infinite rooms—and a quiet terror she is desperate to escape. When Yewon wakes, she sees her life: a young woman, out of her job at a convenience store, trapped in the tiny South Korean village of her birth, watching her mother wash the bones of their ancestors in their decrepit bathtub. Every house has them, these rotting and fragmented bones, reminders of what they have all lost to a war that never seems to end. Yewon and her siblings were born in this bathtub—and every year women give birth to new babies in the bathtub. Now, Yewon&’s brother is stationed near the North Korean border, her sister has just undergone a life-changing tragedy, and her mother is constantly worried, her health declining. In crisis and in stasis, Yewon&’s dreams of the decrepit hotel lead her to an unsettling truth about her country&’s collective heritage.Recalling international trailblazers like Han Kang&’s The Vegetarian and Yoko Ogawa&’s The Memory Police, The Invisible Hotel marks the arrival of a singular new voice with a sharp social acumen.No Filter

everyone in their suburban hometown turned into ghosts—perfect for fans of Yellowjackets.The Velkwood Vicinity was the topic of occult theorists, tabloid one-hour documentaries, and even some pseudo-scientific investigations as the block of homes disappeared behind a near-impenetrable veil that only three survivors could enter—and only one has in the past twenty years, until now. Talitha Velkwood has avoided anything to do with the tragedy that took her mother and eight-year-old sister, drifting from one job to another, never settling anywhere or with anyone, feeling as trapped by her past as if she was still there in the small town she so desperately wanted to escape from. When a new researcher tracks her down and offers to pay her to come back to enter the vicinity, Talitha claims she&’s just doing it for the money. Of all the crackpot theories over the years, no one has discovered what happened the night Talitha, her estranged, former best friend Brett, and Grace, escaped their homes twenty years ago. Will she finally get the answers she&’s been looking for all these years, or is this just another dead end? Award-winning author Gwendolyn Kiste has created a suburban ghost story about a small town that trapped three young women who must confront the past if they&’re going to have a future.The Star and the Strange Moon

"At once suspenseful and tender…a queer horror masterpiece." —Marisa Crane, author of I Keep My Exoskeletons to MyselfIn this chilling contemporary…
horror novel, a phony spiritualist returns to her hometown to assist in an investigation that eerily mirrors her sister&’s death, forcing her to confront the secrets she&’s been running from. Sixteen years ago, Brigit Weylan&’s older sister, Emma, walked into the woods in their small hometown of Ellis Creek. She never walked out. People said she was troubled—in the months leading up to her death, she was convinced there was a monster in those trees. Marked by the tragedy, Brigit left town and never looked back. Now Brigit travels around the country investigating paranormal activity (and faking the results) with her cameraman, Ian. But when she receives a call from Ellis Creek, she&’s thrust into the middle of a search for two missing teenagers. As Brigit and Ian are drawn further into the case, the parallels to Emma&’s death become undeniable. And worse, Brigit can&’t explain what&’s happening to her: trees appearing in her bedroom in the middle of the night, something with a very familiar laugh watching her out in the darkness, and Emma&’s voice on her phone, reminding Brigit to finish what they started. More and more, it looks like Emma was right: there is a monster in Ellis Creek, and it&’s waited a long time for Brigit to come home.We Don't Swim Here

Farmer took the art of literary mashups to an epic new level with his novels of the Wold Newton Universe, in which fictional characters such as James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, and Philip Marlowe crossed paths in a complex narrative web. In A Feast Unknown, he presents thinly veiled versions of two iconic characters—Tarzan and Doc Savage—in a dark tale of psychosexual ferocity. Lord Grandrith, the fabled &“king of the jungle,&” is endowed with special powers that come at a terrible cost. He can only experience sexual pleasure while engaged in acts of violence. His affliction is shared by his nemesis, Doc Caliban, the legendary Man of Bronze. These two titans are also half-brothers—progeny of the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper. As they face each other in an epic battle for immortality, they discover a common enemy: the dark manipulators behind their tragic fate.Hellsing Volume 4 (Second Edition)

Par Marina Yuszczuk. 2020
Across two different time periods, two women confront fear, loneliness, mortality, and a haunting yearning that will not let them…
rest. A breakout, genre-blurring novel from one of the most exciting new voices of Latin America&’s feminist Gothic. It is the twilight of Europe&’s bloody bacchanals, of murder and feasting without end. In the nineteenth century, a vampire arrives from Europe to the coast of Buenos Aires and, for the second time in her life, watches as villages transform into a cosmopolitan city, one that will soon be ravaged by yellow fever. She must adapt, intermingle with humans, and be discreet. In present-day Buenos Aires, a woman finds herself at an impasse as she grapples with her mother's terminal illness and her own relationship with motherhood. When she first encounters the vampire in a cemetery, something ignites within the two women—and they cross a threshold from which there&’s no turning back. With echoes of Mary Shelley&’s Frankenstein and written in the vein of feminist Gothic writers like Shirley Jackson, Daphne du Maurier, and Carmen Maria Machado, Thirst plays with the boundaries of genre while exploring the limits of female agency, the consuming power of desire, and the fragile vitality of even the most immortal of creatures.Fairy Tale
