Dell Duval has been living on the street since his accident. He can't remember who he was or where he came from. All he has is a tattered note in his pocket with an address for the Ellis house, a sprawling, ancient residence in Jacksonville. He doesn't know why he's been sent here.

In the house, Lane and her son Theo have returned to the ancient family home―their last resort. The old house is ruled by an equally ancient trio of tyrannical aunts, who want to preserve everything. Nothing should ever leave the house, including Lane.

Something about the house isn't right. Things happen to the men and boys living there. There are forces at work one of which visits Theo each night―Mormama, one mama too many.

Героиня книги снимает дом в сельской местности, чтобы провести там отпуск вместе с маленькой дочкой. Однако вокруг них сразу же начинают происходить странные и загадочные события. Предполагаемая идиллия оборачивается кошмаром. В этой истории много невероятного, непостижимого и недосказанного, как в лучших латиноамериканских романах, где фантастика накрепко сплавляется с реальностью, почти не оставляя зазора для проверки здравым смыслом и житейской логикой. Автор с потрясающим мастерством сочетает тонкий психологический анализ с предельным эмоциональным напряжением, но не спешит дать ответы на главные вопросы. В поиске этих ответов особая роль отводится читателям — за ними последнее слово.

Daniel is trapped in Ubo. He has no idea how long he has been imprisoned there by the roaches.

Every resident has a similar memory of the journey to Ubo: a dream of dry, chitinous wings crossing the moon, the gigantic insects dropping swiftly over the houses of the neighborhood, passing through walls and windows as if by magic, or science. The creatures, like a deck of baroquely ornamented cards, fanning themselves from one hidden world into the next.

And now each day they force Daniel to play a different figure from humanity’s violent history, from a frenzied Jack the Ripper to a stumbling and confused Stalin to a self-proclaimed god executing survivors atop the ruins of the world. The scenarios mutate day after day in this camp somewhere beyond the rules of time. As skies burn and prisoners go mad, identities dissolve as the experiments evolve, and no one can foretell their mysterious end.

The Borderlands aren’t like anywhere else. Don’t try to smuggle a phone or any other piece of technology over the wall that marks the Border—unless you enjoy a fireworks display in your backpack. (Ballpoint pens are okay.) There are elves, harpies, and—best of all as far as Elliot is concerned—mermaids.

Elliot? Who’s Elliot? Elliot is thirteen years old. He’s smart and just a tiny bit obnoxious. Sometimes more than a tiny bit. When his class goes on a field trip and he can see a wall that no one else can see, he is given the chance to go to school in the Borderlands.

It turns out that on the other side of the wall, classes involve a lot more weaponry and fitness training and fewer mermaids than he expected. On the other hand, there’s Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle, an elven warrior who is more beautiful than anyone Elliot has ever seen, and then there’s her human friend Luke: sunny, blond, and annoyingly likeable. There are lots of interesting books. There’s even the chance Elliot might be able to change the world.

В жизни юной Джейн началась черная полоса. Девушку выгнали из колледжа, а любимая тетя, рано заменившая ей погибших родителей, пропала без вести в антарктической экспедиции. И вдруг Джейн встречает «тень из прошлого» — богатую и своенравную Киран Трэш, вернувшуюся на родину, чтобы провести Праздник весны в Ту-Ревьенсе, таинственном фамильном поместье. Конечно же, Джейн моментально соглашается составить компанию старой знакомой. Потому что больше всего на свете боится жизни, лишенной ярких событий. А еще потому, что отлично помнит прощальный наказ тети: «Если кто-нибудь когда-нибудь пригласит тебя в Ту-Ревьенс, ты поедешь».

И конечно же, она не подозревает, как круто изменится ее судьба в Доме Трэшей, где не бывает ничего невозможного.

Andrew Waggoner has always hung around with his fellow losers at school, desperately hoping each day that the school bullies ― led by Drake ― will pass him by in search of other prey. But one day they force him into the woods, and the bullying escalates into something more; something unforgivable; something unthinkable.

Broken, both physically and emotionally, something dies in Waggoner, and something else is born in its place.

In the hills of the West Country a chalk horse stands vigil over a site of ancient power, and there Waggoner finds in himself a reflection of rage and vengeance, a power and persona to topple those who would bring him low.
