No One Will Miss Her
"Blade-sharp, whip-smart, and genuinely original — a thriller to refresh your faith in the genre, your belief that a story can still outpace and outsmart you."— A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in The Window "Clever and surprising...The superb character-driven plot delivers an astonishing, believable jolt."—Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Deserves two big thumbs up. Readers will be gripped by this astonishing story in which one gasp-inducing twist follows on the heels of another. A unique page-turner that just begs to be turned into a movie." —Booklist (starred review) A smart, witty, crackling novel of psychological suspense in which a girl from a ha...
Mastering Stand-Up
Stephen Rosenfield, founder and director of the American Comedy Institute, the premier comedy school in the United States, has taught literally dozens of major standup comics in North America, and has also pioneered comedy as an academic discipline in many universities, a trend that is rapidly spreading. Mastering Stand-Up draws on Rosenfield's own extensive experience (and those of countless stars like Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Chris Rock, Rodney Dangerfield, Louis C.K., Steve Martin, Roseanne, and Johnny Carson) to show the reader—and would-be comic—what works, what doesn't, and why. Forty sharply written chapters cover every conceivable angle of the joke and how to tell it. There are a number of books on comedy and how to do it, but none has the breadth and authority Rosenfield brings to his theme. It's not for nothing that the New York Times has described him as "probably the best-known comedy teacher in the country." Rosenfield's book is sure to become the classic text on its subject. And it should help thousands who long to make others laugh to realize their fondest hopes.
A Trick of Light
Set in Lee's Alliances Universe, co-created by Lee, Lieberman, and Silbert, and along with Edgar Award-nominated co-writer Rosenfield, this novel is packed with the pulse-pounding, breakneck adventure, and the sheer exuberant invention that have defined his career as the creative mastermind behind Marvel's spectacular universe.
Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone
An arresting un-coming-of-age story, from a breathtaking talent Becca has always longed to break free from her small, backwater hometown. But the discovery of an unidentified dead girl on the side of a dirt road sends the town--and Becca--into a tailspin. Unable to make sense of the violence of the outside world creeping into her backyard, Becca finds herself retreating inward, paralyzed from moving forward for the first time in her life. Short chapters detailing the last days of Amelia Anne Richardson's life are intercut with Becca's own summer as the parallel stories of two young women struggling with self-identity and relationships on the edge twist the reader closer and closer to the truth about Amelia's death.
Tràma
Poetry. Kim Rosenfield's TRAMA is her first book since the award-winning GOOD MORNING--MIDNIGHT--of 2001. TRAMA is both a festive and a frightening book--Rosenfield has the quiet tones of Gepetto's workshop, the mummery of harlequinade, and the terror of the giant swallowing fish. "TRAMA," she says, "embodies a child's tale but redesigns it to pit the mistranslated circus of personal ambition against public episodes of wronged military might." "Kim Rosenfield narrates the trajectory of 'an unluxurious piece of wood' in a unique language whose inflections have an exhilarating effect. Her TRAMA is a dance of the elements charged with a keen sense of the absurd"--Rodrigo Rey Rosa.

Inland
"After nine years spent suffocating in the arid expanse of the Midwest, far from the sea where her mother drowned, Callie Morgan and her father are returning to the coast. But something is calling to her from the river behind their house and from the ocean miles away. Just as Callie's life begins to feel like her own, and as the potential for romance is blossoming, the intoxicating pull of the dark wather seeps into her mind, filling her with doubt and revealing family secrets. Is it madness, or is there a voice, beckoning her to come ot the sea"--Back cover.
