Book Description
...the Voice of the Afterlife. Don't believe the hype. The missionaries may say they help folks, but who do you think started all this? They're some bad people, brothers and sisters. They're helping something big and nasty, and they ain't scared of you. In fact, they know every trick you do. How do you figure they're so good at being dead? You may not like the answer, because the truth has a taste for you." In Shadow Games, the true nature of the characters' adversaries is revealed, as is the cult behind the Pigment trade, and its connection to Spectres. Helping the heroes, however, is a new character class, new roles to combat the coming storm, and a new way to use Spite to fuel abilities in a deadly gamble between need and power.

Book Description
“Eurydice is a luminous retelling of the Orpheus myth from his beloved wife’s point of view. Watching it, we enter a singular, surreal world, as lush and limpid as a dream—an anxiety dream of love and loss—where both author and audience swim in the magical, sometimes menacing, and always thrilling flow of the unconscious… Ruhl’s theatrical voice is reticent and daring, accurate and outlandish.” —John Lahr, New Yorker A reimagining of the classic myth of Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice journeys to the underworld, where she reunites with her beloved father and struggles to recover lost memories of her husband and the world she left behind.

Book Description
According to Roger Caillois, play is an occasion of pure waste. In spite of this - or because of it - play constitutes an essential element of human social and spiritual development. In this study, the author defines play as a free and voluntary activity that occurs in a pure space, isolated and protected from the rest of life.
