IT WAS THE DEAD OF NIGHT as Lily and Ophelia began the hunt for the dead body of an unknown person Ophelia had found in the river side of the levee. River fog swirled around them like tendrils of evil devouring their feet and ankles as it tried enclosing them in its misty wet embrace. Fog coming off the Mississippi River, in the low lands of the river side of the levee, seemed to come alive after darkness crept into the thick wooded forest. Ophelia jerked to a stop...and there it was laying at her feet in the wet, soggy earth among the dense foliage of the river-bottom trees lay the bodies of a woman and a big colorful parrot. Both chills and sweat began running down Lily's back as she stood staring at the two dead bodies. In all the times she had gone to the swimming hole to cool off, she had never seen a dead body anywhere near the path. Who would have left a dead body so close to the path leading to the swimming hole and who would have killed such a huge colorful parrot? Lily and Ophelia stood staring for quite a while before Lily bent down, fanned the misty fog away from the person's head, pushed the body over onto its back and took a good look at the face. It was a woman dressed in bloomers and a gypsy blouse. Her hair was black as coal and she wore a floppy hat. Lily stood up, stared at her best friend and said..."Ophelia, I know who this is!" This book is full of mystery, adventure, comedy, suspense and ghosts

Vampires . . . they ache, they love, they thirst for the forbidden. They are your friends and lovers, and your worst fears. “A major new voice in horror fiction . . . an electric style and no shortage of nerve.”—Booklist At a club in Missing Mile, N.C., the children of the night gather, dressed in black, look for acceptance. Among them are Ghost, who sees what others do not; Ann, longing for love; and Jason, whose real name is Nothing, newly awakened to an ancient, deathless truth about his father, and himself. Others are coming to Missing Mile tonight. Three beautiful, hip vagabonds—Molochai, Twig, and the seductive Zillah, whose eyes are as green as limes—are on their own lost journey, slaking their ancient thirst for blood, looking for supple young flesh. They find it in Nothing and Ann, leading them on a mad, illicit road trip south to New Orleans. Over miles of dark highway, Ghost pursues, his powers guiding him on a journey to reach his destiny, to save Ann from her new companions, to save Nothing from himself. . . . “An important and original work . . . a gritty, highly literate blend of brutality and sentiment, hope and despair.”—Science Fiction Chronicle

"Long ago in 1945 all the nice people in England were poor, allowing for exceptions," begins The Girls of Slender Means, Dame Muriel Spark's tragic and rapier-witted portrait of a London ladies' hostel just emerging from the shadow of World War II. Like the May of Teck Club itself—"three times window shattered since 1940 but never directly hit"—its lady inhabitants do their best to act as if the world were back to normal: practicing elocution, and jostling over suitors and a single Schiaparelli gown. The novel's harrowing ending reveals that the girls' giddy literary and amorous peregrinations are hiding some tragically painful war wounds. Chosen by Anthony Burgess as one of the Best Modern Novels in the Sunday Times of London, The Girls of Slender Means is a taut and eerily perfect novel by an author The New York Times has called "one of this century's finest creators of comic-metaphysical entertainment."
