Book excerpt: It's hard not to love human-interest columnist Cooper Barnet. Readers are drawn to his prize-winning prose, good looks, guileless charm, and compassion for those on the fringe. Barnet also has a seductive vulnerability that makes him irresistible. People have the sense that he needs protecting, and they instinctively try to take care of him. Like his girlfriend Percy Sims, an unflappable dancing teacher with enough "off" in her beat to cope with Cooper's peculiar superstitions and enigmatic ways. And his octogenarian sidekick Margaret Motte Burns, the wealthy Charleston aristocrat who invents creative games to school Cooper in the art of self-preservation. Duke Chang, a playfully irreverent restaurant owner, pulls his share of the load by lending a partially-willing ear while he keeps Cooper fed, and Sam Reaves, an investigative reporter as soft-hearted as he is hard-nosed, unsuccessfully attempts to keep his errant pal in check in the newsroom. But the friend Cooper most depends on is the only person familiar with his stolen childhood--Malachi Patterson, an unfulfilled alcoholic pianist also suffering from a troubled past. Yet not even Patterson can help on a hot spring day in 1988, when disgraceful evidence of Barnet's suffocating malaise is thrust into the public spotlight. The media exposure ignites a crisis, forcing the reeling columnist to search for one lost secret as he continues to run from another--the accident that began his hopeless private stuggle to fill The Tender Void. In this enchanting novel, Greta Medlin weaves a story of tragedy and serendipity, comedy and community, and a wounded man's fight to negotiate a life force advancing with the certainty of a Greyhound bus speeding to the South Carolina Midlands.

Book excerpt: Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans—though no one calls them that anymore. His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the “Transition.” Now, eating human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing. Then one day he’s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel of time, trauma, and terror by “a writer of spectacularly unflinching gifts [who] leaves most contemporary horror writing in the dust” (Peter Straub). “You wouldn’t think events happening years apart, at points in the solar system hundreds of millions of miles distant, would have anything to do with each other.” When she was six, Daphne was taken into a neighbor’s toolshed, and came within seconds of never coming out alive. Most of the scars healed. Except for the one that went all the way through. “You wouldn’t think that the serial murders of children, and the one who got away, would have any connection with the strange fate of one of Jupiter’s moons.” Two decades later, when Daphne goes missing again, it’s nothing new. As her exes might agree, running is what she does best. So her brother Tanner sets out one more time to find her. Whether in the mountains, or in his own family, search-and-rescue is what he does best. “But it does. It’s all connected. Everything’s connected.” Down two different paths, along two different timelines, Daphne and Tanner both find themselves trapped in a savage hunt for the rarest people on earth, by those who would slaughter them on behalf of ravenous entities that lurk outside of time. “So when things start to unravel, it all starts to unravel.” But in ominous signs that have traveled light-years to be seen by human eyes, and that plummet from the sky, the ultimate truth is revealed: There are some things in the cosmos that terrify even the gods.
