Farmland
In Bicentennial America, prominent families vie to fill the power vacuum soon anticipated to be left behind by the ailing "Granny" Adeline Gable, a matriarch who has ruled rural Ashford County for decades from her hilltop mansion, and who has long been rumored to have devious dealings with a clandestine cabal. But the longer Adeline lingers the more impatient the families get and soon plots are contrived that could speed along her demise and free up much of the land and resources she has controlled over her time in power. By forming secret alliances and weaponizing sex, deception, and even God, can the families navigate into an uncertain future or will their lust for fortune and power spell their downfall? Residents of Ashford County know its long and haunted history and they know that choosing to live within its rustic confines means playing a dark and dangerous game. Who will come out victorious? And who will lose everything, including innocence, inheritance, and everlasting love?
When at Last I Find You
When family man Paul Jeske discovers an envelope in his mailbox addressed to one Lucine Korth, curiosity drives him to investigate this unique name. His research turns up images of an intensely attractive woman who lives only blocks from his home. As Paul delves further into this emergent fixation, blurring lines both legal and moral, his professional and family life suffer. Soon this game of cat-and-mouse progresses into perpetually-more perilous territory and Paul learns an astonishing truth about Lucine Korth…and that things are rarely ever as they appear. At once an examination of obsession in the digital age and the fragile nuances of modern family dynamics, When at Last I Find You asks how far would you go to obtain the unobtainable? What would you risk to satisfy your curiosity? And are you willing to make the ultimate sacrifice—family, career, sanity, and soul—to say you succeeded?

Snow Globe
Trapped in a bar by the biggest snowstorm in over a century, Ben Clary will soon learn that sometimes humans are the worst monsters of all. Ben Clary is an everyday working man who caps off an afternoon of holiday shopping with a drink at his favorite watering hole. Before long, he is intoxicated, and a brutal winter storm descends. Trapped by a howling storm seems bad enough, until Ben and his fellow bar patrons find out something terrible and deadly lurks in the blizzard outside, making things far, far worse. One by one, unseen assailants pick them off until a local historian claims the attackers may be the remnants of a clan caught up in an ancient blood feud, said to have occurred at the site of the tavern. And, worse, they seem to eat human flesh. Even still, Ben soon learns the cannibal clansmen are the least of his worries—the true monsters are way more terrifying…and much closer to home.
The Best Horror of the Year
This statement was true when H. P. Lovecraft first wrote it at the beginning of the twentieth century, and it remains true at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The only thing that has changed is what is unknown. With each passing year, science, technology, and the march of time shine light into the craggy corners of the universe, making the fears of an earlier generation seem quaint. But this “light” creates its own shadows. The Best Horror of the Year, edited by Ellen Datlow, chronicles these shifting shadows. It is a catalog of terror, fear, and unpleasantness, as articulated by today’s most challenging and exciting writers. The best horror writers of today do the same thing...

Memory Lands
Noted historian Christine DeLucia offers a major reconsideration of the violent seventeenth-century conflict in northeastern America known as King Philip’s War, providing an alternative to Pilgrim-centric narratives that have conventionally dominated the histories of colonial New England. DeLucia grounds her study of one of the most devastating conflicts between Native Americans and European settlers in early America in five specific places that were directly affected by the crisis, spanning the Northeast as well as the Atlantic world. She examines the war’s effects on the everyday lives and collective mentalities of the region’s diverse Native and Euro-American communities over the course of several centuries, focusing on persistent struggles over land and water, sovereignty, resistance, cultural memory, and intercultural interactions. An enlightening work that draws from oral traditions, archival traces, material and visual culture, archaeology, literature, and environmental studies, this study reassesses the nature and enduring legacies of a watershed historical event.
