Book Description
Everybody in Chicago has a "superhero sighting" story. So when a villain attacks editorial assistant Gail Godwin and she's rescued by superhero Blaze, it's a great story, and nothing more. Until it happens again. And again. Now the media has dubbed her Hostage Girl, nobody remembers her real name, and people are convinced that Blaze is just her boyfriend, Jeremy, in disguise. Gail's not so sure. All she knows is that when both Jeremy and Blaze leave town in the same week, she's probably doomed. Who will save her now? Yet, miraculously, the villains lose interest. Gail is able to return to her life … until she wakes up strapped to a metal table by a mad scientist who hasn't read the news. After escaping—now more than human herself—she's drawn into a secret underground world of superheroes. She'll have to come to terms with her powers (and weaknesses) to make it in the new society, and it's not easy. After all, there's a new villain on the rise, and she has her sights set on the one and only Hostage Girl.

The story heats up when she meets her new boyfriend at San Diego Comic Con -- a man who is anything but what he appears to be.

Book Description
Some of Doctor Doom's dialogue is paraphrased from David Cameron's speeches. Lex Luthor's first name wasn't revealed for 20 years. Doctor Octopus was the first supervillain to unmask Spider-Man. Harley Quinn originated from Batman: The Animated Series, not the comics. Mystique had a son with Sabretooth. Ra's Al Ghul is over 600 years old. Despite what many people believe, Apocalypse is not the first mutant. 20 years after Two-Face debuted, he only appeared five times in the comics. Bullseye killed somebody by throwing a poodle at them. Doomsday has killed millions of Green Lanterns. The Red Skull used to be a bellhop. The Riddler has a mental illness than renders him incapable of lying. Elektra's name was misspelt upon her debut. The Joker was nearly killed after one issue. Ultron used to be called the Crimson Cowl. Zod was a member of the Suicide Squad. Venom was originally called The Alien Costume. The Penguin is sometimes modelled off Donald Trump.

Book Description
*Now a major motion picture starring Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal* A taut, psychological thriller from Iain Reid, “one of the most talented purveyors of weird, dark narratives in contemporary fiction” (Los Angeles Review of Books). Severe climate change has ravaged the country, leaving behind a charred wasteland. Junior and Henrietta live a comfortable if solitary life on one of the last remaining farms. Their private existence is disturbed the day a stranger comes to the door with alarming news. Junior has been randomly selected to travel far away from the farm, but the most unusual part is that arrangements have already been made so that when he leaves, Henrietta won’t have a chance to miss him. She won’t be left alone—not even for a moment. Henrietta will have company. Familiar company. Told in Iain Reid’s sparse, biting style, Foe is a “mind-bending and genre-defying work of genius” (Liz Nugent, author of Unraveling Oliver) that will stay with you long after you turn the final page.
