Excerpts

Three Drops of Blood: Excerpt and Cover Reveal

Gretchen McNeil

"Though she didn’t remember it at all, Kate couldn’t deny that she was staring, horrified, at a video of herself."


“If Found Please Return to Abigail Serna 158 3/4 E MLK Blvd”

Désirée Zamorano

"She’s big on anticipating your opponent. So what do you do when your opponent is the next day?"


The Green Man of Eshwood Hall

"To be lost in the woods is to be lost in time, she thought, and wondered if she’d just thought it or if she’d heard it somewhere before. It was true anyway, because the time of trees was so much slower than the time of people; a moment in the real world might be a month in the forest."


Wrath

Sharon Moalem and Daniel Kraus

"If the colonel would pace, take out a folder, arrest warrants, a pistol, anything, Sienna would feel better, in the presence of a fellow human. Instead, only this icicle voice."


Exclusive Cover Reveal and Excerpt: A Death in Denmark

Amulya Malladi

"There were twenty of them, huddled together in a truck that Lars Hansen used to transport vegetables from the farm to the market in Copenhagen."


Last Night In Brighton

Massoud Hayoun

"I banked my soul on a gay Hollywood romance—a fiction I never found."


So Shall You Reap

Donna Leon

"xxxx"


Motherthing

Ainslie Hogarth

" In the bedroom that Ralph grew up in, there’s a galaxy of glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling"


Bad Dolls: Exclusive Excerpt and Audiobook Clip

Rachel Harrison

"If I’d been told in advance about the blood sacrifice, I would have made up an excuse not to attend the bachelorette party."


The Donut Legion: Excerpt and Cover Reveal!

Joe R. Lansdale

"Just smelling donuts makes me sick, and like I was saying, I have to eat one every day because it’s free."
