Book Description
This sweeping novel depicts the intertwined lives of an assortment of Egyptians--Muslims and Copts, northerners and southerners, men and women--as they begin to settle in Egypt's great second city, and explores how the Second World War, starting in supposedly faraway Europe, comes crashing down on them, affecting their lives in fateful ways. Central to the novel is the story of a striking friendship between Sheikh Magd al-Din, a devout Muslim with peasant roots in northern Egypt, and Dimyan, a Copt with roots in southern Egypt, in their journey of survival and self-discovery. Woven around this narrative are the stories of other characters, in the city, in the villages, or in the faraway desert, closer to the fields of combat. And then there is the story of Alexandria itself, as written by history, as experienced by its denizens, and as touched by the war. Throughout, the author captures the cadences of everyday life in the Alexandria of the early 1940s, and boldly explores the often delicate question of religious differences in depth and on more than one level. No One Sleeps in Alexandria adds an authentically Egyptian vision of Alexandria to the many literary--but mainly Western--Alexandrias we know already: it may be the same space in which Cavafy, Forster, and Durrell move but it is certainly not the same world.

Book Description
The Silence of the Lambs meets Sadie in this riveting psychological thriller about two teenagers teaming up with the FBI to track down juvenile serial killers. In 1982, two teenagers—serial killer survivor Emma Lewis and US Marshal candidate Travis Bell—are recruited by the FBI to interview convicted juvenile killers and provide insight and advice on cold cases. From the start, Emma and Travis develop a quick friendship, gaining information from juvenile murderers that even the FBI can't crack. But when the team is called in to give advice on an active case—a serial killer who exclusively hunts teenagers—things begin to unravel. Working against the clock, they must turn to one of the country's most notorious incarcerated murderers for help: teenage sociopath Simon Gutmunsson. Despite Travis's objections, Emma becomes the conduit between Simon and the FBI team. But while Simon seems to be giving them the information they need to save lives, he's an expert manipulator playing a very long game...and he has his sights set on Emma. Captivating, harrowing, and chilling, None Shall Sleep is an all-too-timely exploration of not only the monsters that live among us but also the monsters that live inside us.

Book Description
From the successful book: Sobrenatural: 300 Historias de Terror, Misterio y Leyendas Urbanas. Comes the awaited English translation. The universe is full of mysteries that we will never be able to solve, you'll understand it sooner rather than later, but even if we only focused on our planet Earth, we would realize that countless extraordinary and inexplicable events have occurred around the centuries. Intrigued by the mystery and the supernatural, I undertook a research to investigate these types of cases, my search led me to talk to many people who told me their stories, and I wrote the cases that seemed most interesting in the form of a story in a book that I called my Supernatural Diary. But that didn’t seem enough to me, so I investigated cases of missing persons that touched the impossible, very strange cases related to the ouija, dolls possessed by evil entities, cursed objects, urban legends from many parts of the world, unsolved murders in addition to different UFO sightings that have not only one but multiple serious witnesses, and many other stories and special cases that I wroted here since I consider they are worth sharing with you, you can believe me when I tell you that this book is full of surprises. You’ll start reading quite "soft" stories, but make sure to move forward, since you will realize that the higher the count the stories will be getting a bit more disturbing each time, and some will even reassess your beliefs. So without further ado, accompany me through 300 stories full of mystery, suspense, terror and much more!
