Book excerpt: Author of The Girl With All the Gifts Mike Carey presents the third book in his hip supernatural thriller series featuring freelance exorcist Felix Castor. You might think that helping a friend's widow to stop a lawyer from stealing her husband's corpse would be the strangest thing on your To Do list. But life is rarely that simple for Felix Castor. A brutal murder in the heart of London bears all the hallmarks of a long-dead American serial killer, and it takes more good sense than Castor possesses not to get involved. He's also fighting a legal battle over the body -- if not the soul -- of his possessed friend, Rafi, and can't shake the feeling that his three problems might be related. With the help of the succubus Juliet and paranoid zombie data-fence Nicky Heath, Castor just might have a chance of fitting the pieces together before someone drops him down an elevator shaft or rips his throat out. Or not. . .

Book excerpt: Before he died, Castor's fellow exorcist John Gittings made several calls asking for help and if Castor had answered them, John might still be alive. So when a smooth-talking lawyer comes out of nowhere to claim the remains, Castor owes it to John's unhappy ghost and even more unhappy widow to help out. If only life were that simple. A brutal murder in King's Cross bears all the hallmarks of an American serial killer supposedly forty years dead, and it takes more good sense than Castor possesses not to get involved. He's also fighting a legal battle over the body - if not the soul - of his possessed friend, Rafi, and can't shake the feeling that his three problems are related. With the help of the succubus Juliet, paranoid zombie data-fence Nicky Heath and a little judicious digging, Castor just might have a chance of fitting the pieces together before someone drops him down a lift shaft or rips his throat out. Or not. . .

Book excerpt: Author of The Girl With All the Gifts Mike Carey presents the second book in his hip supernatural thriller series featuring freelance exorcist Felix Castor. Felix Castor has reluctantly returned to exorcism after a successful case convinces him that he really can do some good with his abilities -- "good," of course, being a relative term when dealing with the undead. His friend Rafi is still possessed, the succubus Ajulutsikael (Juliet to her friends) still technically has a contract on him, and he's still dirt poor. Doing some consulting for the local cops helps pay the bills, but Castor needs a big private job to really fill the hole in his bank account. That's what he needs. What he gets is a seemingly insignificant "missing ghost" case that inexorably drags him and his loved ones into the middle of a horrific plot to raise one of hell's fiercest demons. When satanists, stolen spirits, sacrifice farms, and haunted churches all appear on the same police report, the name Felix Castor can't be too far behind. . .

Download or read book Fool's Proof - Book Club Edition written by Eva Sandor and published by Huszar Books. This book was released on 2024-03-13 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A jerk of a jester who’s just lost his job. A fierce old noblewoman about to lose her country. And the thieving magpie who puts them on a collision course full of laughter, danger and plot twists galore! Let the banter begin... Eva Sandor's mildly magical, highly humorous Heart of Stone Adventures is a comedy-fantasy series that transports readers to a Tekologically advanced realm where magpies are sapient, Umans are unpredictable and our hero plays the Fool. But under its light-hearted wit and wordplay lies a surprisingly deep well of plot, character and cultural references. Which brings up the eternal question: but can my friends and I talk about it while we drink mimosas? Good news! Nothing could be easier, when you own this special edition of FOOL'S PROOF which combines the full, unabridged novel with BOOK CLUB COMPANION #1, a chapter-by-chapter guide for book clubs. Over 100 thought-provoking, conversation-sparking questions provide hours of entertainment. It's fun, convenient and the perfect way to start your journey. ___ "Wish I could erase my memory and read it again." —Review of Fool's Proof, included in this edition "Great way to follow along with the book by yourself or with a group. It makes you think a bit more and explore the characters as well." —Review of Book Club Companion #1, included in this edition "Jump into a series rich in adventure, full of imaginative flights and quirks, peopled with characters you'll fall in love with and want to follow to the ends of the earth— which you will. Meet all kinds of wondrous creatures—magical nullicorns, cloud whales, talking magpies, monsters and more. It's a wonderful and funny alternate world, slightly magical and wholly original. I want more!" —Review of the Heart of Stone Adventures series. This edition includes links for easy purchase! ______ ABOUT FOOL'S PROOF Malfred Murd is supremely talented but undeniably abrasive. Freshly booted from his 20-year gig as the Royal Jester, Fred is finding it tough to jingle out a living on the street, even with the dubious help of a sassy talking bird. He isn’t thinking of the future when rival buskers chase him into a Tekologically advanced country that, like him, lies squarely in the King’s disfavor. He has no idea that the ruler of this country has made plans to save her people— plans that are rapidly unraveling, missing messenger, ominous omen and all. So when Fred’s flying friend brings him a bag that looks to be full of shinies, his decision to try and wring a little reward money out of the situation doesn’t seem particularly perilous. But surprise! It lands him in the midst of a rescue mission gone horribly, hilariously wrong. ______ The inevitable comparisons to Terry Pratchett are accurate. —Andrew Shanahan, author of Before And After A wonderful read for fans of the fantasy-comedy genre in the spirit of Monty Python or the gleeful musical television series Galavant... a colorful story of adventure, friendship and deception. —Sydney Rappis, Reedsy Discovery A book and a writer to look out for. — Jim Webster, author of the Tallis Steelyard series A cleverly plotted, twisty novel with a gratifying conclusion. —The BookLife Prize ______ Meet a cast of memorable, vividly drawn characters with exciting action sequences and interpersonal drama. Read it now and escape into a world of magic, miscommunication, monsters and magpies!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting account of the two years literary scholar Mikita Brottman spent reading literature with criminals in a maximum-security men’s prison outside Baltimore, and what she learned from them—Orange Is the New Black meets Reading Lolita in Tehran. On sabbatical from teaching literature to undergraduates, and wanting to educate a different kind of student, Mikita Brottman starts a book club with a group of convicts from the Jessup Correctional Institution in Maryland. She assigns them ten dark, challenging classics—including Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Poe’s story “The Black Cat,” and Nabokov’s Lolita—books that don’t flinch from evoking the isolation of the human struggle, the pain of conflict, and the cost of transgression. Although Brottman is already familiar with these works, the convicts open them up in completely new ways. Their discussions may “only” be about literature, but for the prisoners, everything is at stake. Gradually, the inmates open up about their lives and families, their disastrous choices, their guilt and loss. Brottman also discovers that life in prison, while monotonous, is never without incident. The book club members struggle with their assigned reading through solitary confinement; on lockdown; in between factory shifts; in the hospital; and in the middle of the chaos of blasting televisions, incessant chatter, and the constant banging of metal doors. Though The Maximum Security Book Club never loses sight of the moral issues raised in the selected reading, it refuses to back away from the unexpected insights offered by the company of these complex, difficult men. It is a compelling, thoughtful analysis of literature—and prison life—like nothing you’ve ever read before.
