A Word Child
by Iris Murdoch
-- A brilliant but deeply flawed man struggles to earn absolution.
Hilary Burde was a rising star in academia until a tragic accident plunged him and his mentor and rival, Gunnar Jopling, into two decades of depression and guilt.
Hilary, unable to overcome his pain, abandoned his promising career for an unfulfilling job as a civil servant.
But at age forty-one, Hilary crosses paths again with Gunnar—initiating a series of events that will change their lives forever.
Set against a richly drawn backdrop of post-war London, A Word Child is a gripping story of passion and the redemptive power of love.
“Vivid . . . discriminating prose.” —The New York Times
“Marvelous . . . riveting . . . fine and elegant.” —The Los Angeles Times
Length: 418 pages

Deadfolk
by Charlie Williams
-- Royston Blake is head doorman at Hoppers Wine Bar and Bistro in the backwater English town of Mangel.
He drives a Ford Capri 2.8i and can walk the streets of his town knowing he's respected by one and all—until a rumour begins to circulate that Blake's “lost his bottle.”
Even his sharp-tongued girl, Sal, has overheard the talk that the formerly fearsome bloke has gone soft, lost his edge, and become a pushover in a town where he can ill afford it.
To make matters worse, the violent Munton brothers are after him, and the thought of ending up in the back of their bloody Meat Wagon is almost too much to bear.
Something's gotta give, but it sure as hell won’t be Blake. Following advice from his best mate, Legsy, Blake embarks on a plan to re-establish his reputation as a hard man, ensure his appeal to the women of Mangel, and seal his future with the new owner of Hoppers.
The logic of the plan is sound: knock around Baz Munton a bit and regain the respect of Mangel's populace. But sound logic never really took off in Mangel, and Blake finds he’s got his work cut out for him.
This brutal black comedy introduces a wholly original voice to the ranks of contemporary literature’s most memorable protagonists.

Blood Rock
by Anthony Francis
-- Dakota Frost is back, and the ink is about to hit the fan-again.
Graffiti comes to life in the dark heart of Atlanta's oldest cemetery, slaying one of the city's best loved vampires before the eyes of his friend Dakota Frost.
Deadly magick is at work on the city's walls, challenging even the amazing power of Dakota's tattoos to contain it.
The hungry, graffiti magick loves to kill, and the Edgeworld is no longer safe from its own kind.
Dakota begins a harrowing journey to save those she loves and to discover the truth behind the spreading graffiti-even if that truth offends the vampires, alienates the werekin and creates police suspicion of her every action.
Saving Atlanta may cost her everything, including custody of her "adopted" weretiger daughter, Cinnamon. But failure is not an option.
If the graffiti isn't stopped, Cinnamon could be the next victim.
