Book excerpt: A chilling ghost story with a twist: the New York Times bestselling author of The Winter People returns to the woods of Vermont to tell the story of a husband and wife who don't simply move into a haunted house--they build one . . . In a quest for a simpler life, Helen and Nate have abandoned the comforts of suburbia to take up residence on forty-four acres of rural land where they will begin the ultimate, aspirational do-it-yourself project: building the house of their dreams. When they discover that this beautiful property has a dark and violent past, Helen, a former history teacher, becomes consumed by the local legend of Hattie Breckenridge, a woman who lived and died there a century ago. With her passion for artifacts, Helen finds special materials to incorporate into the house--a beam from an old schoolroom, bricks from a mill, a mantel from a farmhouse--objects that draw her deeper into the story of Hattie and her descendants, three generations of Breckenridge women, each of whom died suspiciously. As the building project progresses, the house will become a place of menace and unfinished business: a new home, now haunted, that beckons its owners and their neighbors toward unimaginable danger.

Book excerpt: 'Read this and learn - this is what a force for good looks like' - Jess Phillips MP 'One of the best books I read this year [...] It's truly essential reading for those who want to push forward for a more equal world' - Stylist 'Impressive' - Bernardine Evaristo 'The next generation is in safe hands with women like Sara coming to the fore' - Sunday Times 'Soma's efforts feel more pressing than ever' - Vogue 'Her work has directly contributed to a groundswell of pent-up frustration and exhaustion from women and girls who have simply had enough. And people are listening' - Independent ------------------------- We are all a part of a culture that is broken - and nobody benefits from it. It's in the news we read, the films we watch, the music we listen to, the people we surround ourselves with, the institutions we navigate, the laws we follow, and the streets we walk. We are part of a system that was founded on inequality and drastic power imbalance. Of course, many things are better than they were. But the age of social media has dramatically exposed truths previously hidden. In this collection of essays, covering subjects from porn to the patriarchy, Soma Sara draws a line between the different facets of our society that enable inequality to flourish. The scale of the problem is vast, and deeply entrenched in all of us. Here, Soma Sara argues that we can flip the script and start solving the problem - and create a better society for everyone. Everyone's Invited is an essential and enlightening force to push us forward to a more equal world.

Del's killer was never found, while the victim has since achieved immortality in local legends and ghost stories.

Because nothing is quite what it seems . . . and the grim specters of her youth are far from forgotten. More than just a murder mystery, Jennifer McMahon's extraordinary debut novel, Promise Not to Tell, is a story of friendship and family, devotion and betrayal—tautly written, deeply insightful, beautifully evocative, and utterly unforgettable.
