Book Description
A collection of 12 grotesqueries inspired by the natural and psychological landscapes of New England and by the ghosts that walk the places in-between. The long-awaited new collection of short stories from Daniel Mills, whose literary antecedents include Poe, Hawthorne, Vernon Lee, and John Darnielle. A visionary and poetic stylist. Contains the long out-of-print novella "The Account of David Stonehouse, Exile," and two new stories written expressly for this collection. "Daniel Mills is a master of telling tales. . . ." ―The New York Journal of Books "Daniel Mills is a writer to watch" - Black Static Magazine "Mills has a poetic and visionary style of his own, capable of uncovering the beauty in horror and the horror in beauty." - Reggie Oliver, Author of The Sea of Blood A pleasure to read, Daniel Mills's fiction would draw approving nods from any of the austere presences in whose literary footsteps he is following." - John Langan, Author of The Fisherman "If you like your horror well written, haunting and resonant, look no further: Daniel Mills is your Man!" - Rue Morgue Magazine "Daniel Mills is a modern master of the unspoken, a classical horror miniaturist whose writing references the bleak and existentially dread-full gothic Americana of Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Best read out loud around a failing fire on a darksome plain, as night sets in." - Gemma Files, Shirley Jackson award-winning author of Experimental Film

Book Description
A new way for Christians to think about sexuality Author Miguel De La Torre, a well-respected ethicist and professorknown for his innovative readings of Christian doctrine, rejectsboth the liberal and conservative prejudices about sex. He insteaddevelops an ethic that is liberative yet grounded soundly in theBible; a sexuality that celebrates God’s gift of great sex byfostering intimacy, vulnerability and openness between lovingpartners. In A Lily Among the Thorns, De La Torre examines theBible, current events, history and our culture-at-large to show howand why racism, sexism, and classism have distortedChristianity’s central teachings about sexuality. The authorshows how the church’s traditionally negative attitudestoward sex in general—and toward women, people of color, andgays in particular—have made it difficult, if not impossible,to create a biblically based and just sexual ethic. But when theBible is read from the viewpoint of those who have beenmarginalized in our society, preconceived notions aboutChristianity and sex get turned on their heads. Taking onhot-button topics such as pornography, homosexuality, prostitution,and celibacy, the author examines how “reading from themargins” provides a liberating approach to dealing withissues of sexuality.

Book Description
London 1815, just before Waterloo... After her noble father disowned her, Lady Serena Ravenshaw clawed her way from streetwalker to courtesan to prosperous innkeeper. Now she's feared and respected from one end of London to the other, by the lowest dregs of the city's underworld and the upper echelons of the beau monde, and she'll do anything to keep it that way. When mild-mannered chemist Solomon Hathaway turns up in her office, asking for her help, she immediately recognizes him from one fateful night years before. She's been watching and waiting for him for years-so she can turn the tables and put him in her debt, of course, and not because he looked like an angel and was kind to her when she needed it most. She's determined not to wonder what put that fresh grief in his eyes. But after a betrayal even Serena didn't expect, she must put aside her pride and work with Solomon to stop a ring of French spies and save her beloved inn, her freedom-and England itself.

Book Description
Hidden in the pages of time, the voice of a daughter long ignored is revealed with a faint whisper, jumping out from the pages of the Biblical story, Song of Solomon, retold. Abishag, the highly sought-after maiden of Israel, who went into the service of King David in his old age. Still, a virgin after David's death waits to find out if she will be wed to the new king, only to discover, much to her despair, the king has overlooked her. Has she been utterly forsaken by the new king, which has instead, fallen for a beautiful foreigner? Abishag now conspires with the women of the king's harem to come between the king and his new love. Will she finally receive the promise that she has waited so long to obtain? Let's take a brand-new look at the age-old story, as told through a chorus of the voice of Abishag, and the daughters of Jerusalem in Lilies Have Thorns.

Book Description
Much like the lilies among the thorns, fantasy and reality are definitely not compatible. Fantasy gives one the ability to imagine, what might someday be, but reality gives one the opportunity to live in real time his or her dream. Some people have very little imagination and, therefore, envision very few dreams. Some people, on the other hand, make fantasy their lifelong reality and thereby exist in a false reality, living the life of a lily among thorns. —Bernard Davis Jr.
