Book Description
From the author of Think of England and Fellowship Point, a captivating collection of stories—the title piece successfully made into an HBO film—about the complex relationships between lovers, spouses, neighbors, and family members. By turns funny, sad, and disturbing, these are stories of remarkable power. When the austere and moving title story of this collection appeared in The New Yorker in 1993, it inspired two memorable film adaptations, and John Updike selected it for inclusion in The Best American Short Stories of the Century. In these ten stories, Alice Elliott Dark visits the fictional town of Wynnemoor and its residents, present and past, with skill, compassion, and wit.

Book Description
Once upon a chime... Every day at four o’ clock, an enchanted twilight sweeps over Vale Argantel. Strange things happen under its eldritch influence: mists boil up out of the ground, rain pours out of a cloudless sky, and the roses grow wild and fey. Such is the way of things. But when her friend falls through a magic mirror and disappears, Margot realises something’s changed. An ancient enchantment has gone awry, and chaos quickly spreads. Magic-drunk, confused and hampered at every turn, Margot must find a way to reclaim Oriane — and before anybody else disappears. But for Oriane, things are stranger still. Lost in a topsy-turvy world, how can she ever find her way home? For she’s adrift in a place very like Argantel — eerily familiar, yet strangely different; a place which follows none of the usual rules… Praise for Gloaming: "One part Eleanor Farjeon, one part Lord Dunsany, one part Vera Chapman, but mostly her unique self, Charlotte English is the first new (to me) writer to make me excited in a long, long time. Her faultless prose by turns ascends with the lark, leads you down secret paths like the willow-the-wisp, bewitches you into bewilderment, and sparkles with eye-bedazzling wonder, taking you at last to an enchanted ending that leaves you as drunk on words as her protagonists on ensorceled rose-wine. Please, milady, more!" - Mercedes Lackey

While the daytime critter's day is just about to come to an end, the nighttime critters' lingering into the dim afternoon starts to begin. From dark mountains, blossoming fields, and high grassy hills, to the plants, shrubs, leaves, and trees of a dark dense forest, the gloaming meadows glows best at sunset. Come see and know what roams in the gloam!

Book Description
The Gloaming Limn is where the light meets the dark and a choice is required. This book of poetry by Jared Leys is his first, but he explores topics ranging from the mundane to the sublime, and all the while questions what it truly means to live spiritually. "A choice is presented in the gloaming limn--a choice of importance to those listening. It is found that there is a difference between darkness and illumination in which a decision is necessary. There is a lack of perfection in those who witness the gloaming, and so by the limn have their choice. "May the choosing result only in life and never in death."
