The Wrong Side of Twenty-Five
Best before twenty-five? With newsfeeds full of perfect pouts, hot-dog legs, and the self-proclaimed hashtag-blessed, it's hard not to feel inadequate. How has everyone figured out how to live their best life, except you?' That's what Kylie wants to know. She thought she would spend her twenty-fifth birthday having a mini-break - not a mini-breakdown! After an evening of finger-food and snide remarks, Kylie decides that things must change. Naturally, Alexa disagrees. She doesn't think anything needs to change at all, and is quite happy plodding along with her best friend by her side. So, when everything changes for the better for Alexa - while it's going from bad to worse for Kylie - will it tear them apart?

The Dark Clue
“A luscious Victorian thriller” that takes its cue from Wilkie Collins’s gothic masterpiece, The Woman in White (The New York Times Book Review). Walter Hartright and his sister-in-law Marian have been commissioned to write the definitive biography of the great Romantic landscape artist J. M. W. Turner, one of the boldest and most elusive geniuses of his age. But the only way to draw such a mysterious life out of the shadows is to venture into them themselves. The more Walter and Marian discover about Turner—the depraved company he kept, the sordid places he frequented, and his mysterious link to an unspeakable act—the more difficult it becomes for Walter and Marian to escape the pull of Turner’s dangerous influences, both past and present. Hailed by the Independent as “devilishly clever,” James Wilson’s epistolary literary thriller weds the characters from one of the best-known sensation novels of the nineteenth century with real historical figures of the era. For readers “seeking a dark tangled tale for an agreeably stormy night, The Dark Clue just might be the solution” (The Boston Globe).

The Shadow on the Blind and Other Stories
The late Victorians had an insatiable appetite for the macabre and sensational: stories of murder and suspense, ghosts, the supernatural and the inexplicable were the stuff of life to them. The two writers in this volume well represent the last decade of the nineteenth century, and are of interest in themselves as well as for their contribution to the chilling of the Victorian spine. Mrs. Alfred Baldwin attempted as a child to contact her dead sister through a seance, and took to writing when stricken by a mysterious illness six weeks after marriage. She was also the mother of the Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin. Lettice Galbraith is herself no less mysterious than the stories she wrote. She appeared on the literary scene in 1893, published a novel and two collections of stories in that year, a further story ("The Blue Room") in 1897, and then nothing more. Readers of 'The Empty Picture Frame', 'The Case of Sir Nigel Otterburne', 'The Trainer's Ghost' and 'The Seance Room' will recognise the Victorian spirit at its finest.
