From the bestselling author known for blending horror and humor, this novella dives into the world of backyard rocket enthusiasts aiming for low Earth orbit. In Melville, South Carolina, a town struggling with financial despair, there are no astronauts left—only one stranded on the abandoned International Space Station after a failed mission. With NASA's budget slashed, the government turns a blind eye to this embarrassing situation, leaving the astronaut to face a grim fate. However, his cousin Walter Reddie, a disgraced former Shuttle Program member, refuses to let him die in space. Fueled by vodka and determination, Walter sets out to build a rocket himself. Defying laws, logic, and common sense, Walter attracts a motley crew of misfits—drifters, dreamers, science enthusiasts, and those disillusioned by the idea that space is only for the wealthy. Together, they transform Walter's rundown farm into a haven for aspiring astronauts. Yet, their journey is fraught with danger; they risk explosions, arrests, and chaos before they can even think about reaching orbit. Originally published in 2012 as Occupy Space, this revised edition includes a new introduction by the author.

Patricia Campbell ist unzufrieden. Ihr Mann ist ein Workaholic, ihre beiden süßen Kinder sind zu launischen Teenagern mutiert, und ihre pflegebedürftige Schwiegermutter braucht ständig Aufmerksamkeit. Ihr einziger Lichtblick ist der Buchclub, den sie mit ihren engsten Freundinnen gegründet hat: Hier kann sie ihre Leidenschaft für True Crime und Serienkiller voll und ganz ausleben. Eines Abends wird Patricia von ihrer dementen Nachbarin attackiert, und kurz darauf tritt deren Neffe, James Harris, in Patricias Leben. Der vielgereiste, belesene und unverschämt gutaussehende James weckt Gefühle in Patricia, die sie schon seit Jahren nicht mehr gespürt hat. Doch als im weniger wohlhabenden Viertel der Stadt immer mehr Kinder verschwinden, befürchtet Patricia, dass James mehr Ted Bundy als Brad Pitt ist. In Wahrheit ist James jedoch eine ganz andere Sorte Monster – und Patricia hat ihn schon längst in ihr Heim gelassen …

Winner of the Goodreads Choice Award, and from the author of The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, comes a New York Times bestselling horror novel that follows a group of heroines to die for. 

Fried Green Tomatoes and "Steel Magnolias" meet Dracula in this Southern-flavored supernatural thriller set in the '90s about a women's book club that must protect its suburban community from a mysterious and handsome stranger who turns out to be a blood-sucking fiend. Patricia Campbell had always planned for a big life, but after giving up her career as a nurse to marry an ambitious doctor and become a mother, Patricia's life has never felt smaller. The days are long, her kids are ungrateful, her husband is distant, and her to-do list is never really done. The one thing she has to look forward to is her book club, a group of Charleston mothers united only by their love for true-crime and suspenseful fiction. In these meetings, they're more likely to discuss the FBI's recent siege of Waco as much as the ups and downs of marriage and motherhood. But when an artistic and sensitive stranger moves into the neighborhood, the book club's meetings turn into speculation about the newcomer. Patricia is initially attracted to him, but when some local children go missing, she starts to suspect the newcomer is involved. She begins her own investigation, assuming that he's a Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy. What she uncovers is far more terrifying, and soon she—and her book club—are the only people standing between the monster they've invited into their homes and their unsuspecting community.

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Book Club s Guide to Slaying Vampires comes a hard-rocking, spine-tingling horror novel about a washed-up guitarist of a 90s heavy metal band who embarks on an epic road-trip across America and deep into the web of a sinister conspiracy.
