His life is filled with the fascinating rituals of one who must embrace the dark. He knows the night as no one else ever will, ever can—the mystery, the beauty, the many terrors, and the eerie, silken rhythms of the night—for it is only at night that he is free. Until the night he witnesses a series of disturbing incidents that sweep him into a violent mystery only he can solve, a mystery that will force him to rise above all fears and confront the many-layered strangeness of Moonlight Bay and its residents. Once again drawing daringly from several genres, Dean Koontz has created a narrative that is a thriller, a mystery, a wild adventure, a novel of friendship, a rousing story of triumph over severe physical limitations, and a haunting cautionary tale.

Book excerpt: A NYRB Classics Original Winner of the Scott Moncrieff Prize for Translation A young soldier learns the true meaning of fear amidst the carnage of World War I in this literary masterpiece and “one of the most effective indictments of war ever written” (Wall Street Journal) 1915: Jean Dartemont heads off to the Great War, an eager conscript. The only thing he fears is missing the action. Soon, however, the vaunted “war to end all wars” seems like a war that will never end—whether mired in the trenches or going over the top, Jean finds himself caught in the midst of an unimaginable, unceasing slaughter. After he is wounded, he returns from the front to discover a world where no one knows or wants to know any of this. Both the public and the authorities go on talking about heroes—and sending more men to their graves. But Jean refuses to keep silent. He will speak the forbidden word. He will tell them about fear. John Berger has called Fear “a book of the utmost urgency and relevance.” A literary masterpiece, it is also an essential and unforgettable reckoning with the terrible war that gave birth to a century of war.

The tail is a talisman with magic powers, among them some curative ones, and Upshire has some problems that need curing… an overabundance of pounds, among them. When people need something, Inverness, New Jersey tailor Lincoln Blackthorne is the man they turn to and in turn Linc generally gets them what they want. Sometimes—like every time he turns around—there's somebody else there trying to do Blackthorne out of what he's after… usually threatening bodily harm and more often than not attempting to make good on the threat. From a very unreserved New Mexico Indian reservation to the frozen Yukon wastes where things heat up, The Tail of the Arabian, Knight is an adventure that will keep you going and on the edge of your seat for far more than a thousand and one nights.

Imagine Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None: a small group of people trapped in an isolated place, disappearing one by one, prey to all the stresses and strains of being hunted. Add Charles Grant’s proven skill with suspense and his ability to fathom and display the inner workings of the human heart and mind. The result is Raven, a gripping, fast-paced thriller that begins in a familiar classic American setting—a roadside motel and restaurant —and drives, without pause, to an unexpected and startling conclusion. A late-winter blizzard has closed the road beside Maclaren’s Food and Lodging. The staff of three—Neil Maclaren, former cop turned motel-keeper; Julia Sanders, as capable handling trouble as she is mixing drinks; Willie Ennin, whose fondness for knives makes him a superb cook—prepare to entertain their few customers through a long winter night, unaware that they are being watched. The customers are a motley crew. Three locals: Nester Brandt, the town’s greying curmudgeon; and a pair of star-crossed lovers, Ken Hawick and Trish Avery. Three strangers: Hugh Davies, fast-rising star of all-night talk-radio; and Ceil and Mandy, two women he claims are his sisters. They all have secrets, secrets which have attracted the watcher. Nester Brandt is the first to die, gunned down outside the restaurant by a silent man in a long black coat, a man whose pitiless gaze is as fixed and glittering as a raven’s. Nester’s death is only the beginning as this gathering of strangers becomes first prey, then hunters. They have learned too much about each other in a single snow-filled night. Like rats caught in a trap...
