Evans N: The Horse Whisperer

The Horse Whisperer

The 25th anniversary edition of a classic novel that was made into a beloved film

An intimate, moving novel that follows a group of women of a certain age who band together to help one another and their circle of friends as they face the challenges of their golden years.

Evensong

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are
 the same.
 A foundling son. A forbidden love. A coveted inheritance.

 Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff are wrong for each other in
 every way, yet inexplicably drawn together by a force stronger than
 themselves. Their love is passionate, dark, obsessive …
 and a threat to Catherine’s brother Hindley, who banishes
 Heathcliff, determined to make sure Wuthering Heights is his after
 their father’s death. 
 But when Heathcliff returns with money and a burning desire for
 both Catherine and revenge, his only goal is to take what’s
 his and bring retribution to all involved.
 Told from the perspective of Lockwood at Thrushcross Grange
 on the desolate and stark Yorkshire Moors years after the events
 at Wuthering Heights, this English literature classic explores
 the relationship between love, revenge and desire, and the long-lasting
 effects on its residents’ heirs.

Wuthering Heights

A short, blistering gut punch of a novel, Jackson Alone is at turns satirical and deadpan, angry and tender - a frank exploration of identity, race, and queerness in contemporary Japan. Nobody at the corporate offices of Athletius Japan knows much about the massage therapist, Jackson, but rumours abound. He used to work as a model. He likes to party. He's mixed race: half-Japanese, half-somewhere-in-Africa-n. He might be gay. Fuelling the gossip is the sudden appearance of a violent, pornographic video featuring a man who looks like a lot like Jackson. When Jackson serendipitously meets three other queer mixed-race guys, he learns he's not the only one being targeted. Together they concoct a plan: find out who's responsible and, in the meantime, exploit the fact that nobody can seem to tell them apart to trick people who've wronged them. From an Akutagawa prize winning author, Jackson Alone asks complex questions about how we see ourselves and how we see others, as well as what it really means to get revenge.

From the winner of the Akutagawa Prize

Jackson Alone

A stunning new paperback edition of the supernatural horror cult classic of weird fiction that inspired H.P. Lovecraft and HBO's True Detective--featuring gorgeous sprayed edges and an art deco design. 4 unforgettably unsettling tales about a play that drives its audiences to madness as it explores themes of the supernatural, spirituality, and the potentially corrosive influence of belief in the afterlife. I cannot forget Carcosa where black stars hang in the heavens; where the shadows of men's thoughts lengthen in the afternoon... I pray God will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in its truth --a world which now trembles before the King in Yellow. Uncanny, macabre, and unsettling, the 4 tales contained in this beautiful new edition of Robert W. Chambers's supernatural classic are arguably the greatest ever written in the weird fiction genre. They are linked together by a play, The King in Yellow, whose second act reveals truths so terrible and beautiful that it drives all who read it to bitter despair. Across each story, the book spreads like an infectious disease, from city to city, from continent to continent. Its wicked pages violate no definite principles, or doctrine. It cannot be judged by any known standard. Yet, although all acknowledge The King in Yellow as a supreme achievement of art, all feel that human nature cannot bear the strain, nor thrive, on words which in which the essence of purest poison lurks. Influencing generations of writers since their first publication in 1895, from the renowned master of cosmic horror H.P Lovecraft to the creators of HBO's True Detective, these stories are a rediscovered classic of weird fiction and supernatural horror.

The King in Yellow
