Book Description
In this terrifying novel from the bestselling "master of the psychological thriller" and author of Baby Teeth (Entertainment Weekly), three friends set off on a hike into the Grand Canyon—only to discover it's not so easy to leave the world behind. “Stage is a writer with a gift for the lyrical and the frightening . . . Getaway feels original, and very scary.” —The New York Times Book Review It was supposed to be the perfect week away . . . Imogen and Beck, two sisters who couldn't be more different, have been friends with Tilda since high school. Once inseparable, over two decades the women have grown apart. But after Imogen survives a traumatic attack, Beck suggests they all reunite to hike deep into the Grand Canyon’s backcountry. A week away, secluded in nature . . . surely it’s just what they need. But as the terrain grows tougher, tensions from their shared past bubble up. And when supplies begin to disappear, it becomes clear secrets aren’t the only thing they’re being stalked by. As friendship and survival collide with an unspeakable evil, Getaway becomes another riveting thriller from a growing master of suspense and a “literary horror writer on the rise” (BookPage).

The Wry World of Reg Henry
Author: Reg Henry
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781633850132
Category : American newspapers
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Reg Henry is an award-winning syndicated columnist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. His work has appeared in more than 150 newspapers in the United States, causing laughter and, at times, dismay depending on the reader's taste for his dry sense of humor. (A taste by the way that can sometime be enhanced by an adult beverage.) According to Henry, his real job at the PG has been composing serious editorials on subjects so boring that police negotiators read them to hostage takers to make them give up. But his weekly column he considers a vacation from his regular work. Having grown up in Australia and lived and worked in England for a time, Henry wrote this about the mysteries of Pittsburgh: When I first arrived in Pittsburgh ... signs outside seedy establishments on Liberty Avenue advertised Live Nudes, which was a bit creepy because that suggested the possible existence of dead nudes. On attending his son's sporting events, he put forth: My only regret was that I did not go to every game ... Fortunately, Hamilton College is only 396 miles from Pittsburgh, and it would be an easy drive if it weren't for the regular blizzards and torrential rain in Erie and New York. Reg Henry's columns range from the joys of drinking Guinness, to the perils of being a Carnegie Mellon University braniac living in gender-neutral on-campus housing. His take is always fresh, if a bit twisted holding up an odd little mirror to the human condition. In Iraq, we are told hitting someone with a shoe is among the worst of insults. In our culture, the worst insult to the national intelligence is to fail to kick someone out of office when he or she richly deserves it."--
