BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

Features short novels and story collections by ten of the leading authors in the bizarro genre.

When her neighbor turns up dead, Belinda recognizes the Mortis Curse, one of the most evil spells known to witchkind, and the life she left behind starts knocking at her door. Now she must find the killer before her new found peaceful existence descends into a darkness she swore to turn her back on.

But when people in town start acting strangely, together with a string of strange robberies, Belinda begins to suspect a sinister force lurks beneath the peaceful surface of Blackthorn Springs.

But when a sexy werewolf woman turns up in town, Belinda’s life spirals out of control as she learns the man she has been happily spending her life with is not the man she thought he was.

But while Belinda tries to hide away from the festivities, trouble comes looking for her. A Coven of Demons As strange blizzards hold Blackthorn Springs in an icy grip, Belinda Drake can't shake the feeling that something isn't right, even beyond her usual world of witchy magical mayhem. With the arrival of a dangerous stranger, Belinda is thrown headlong into a war between two evil covens, both of them seeking the Serpent's Disc, the key to Belinda's power.
