Teren poza Starym Miastem miał być zielony, bujny, pełen otuchy. Miał być miejscem, w którym Alicja w końcu mogła odpocząć, gdzie nie byłaby już ani zabawką Królika, ani pionkiem Cheshirea, ani zdobyczą Dżaberłaka. Ale owe zielone pola okazały się być tylko popiołem, i nigdzie nie można było znaleźć nadziei Uważaj, ten biały królik zabierze cię w psychodeliczną podróż przez wnętrzności magii i szaleństwa. Jeśli chodzi o mnie, jazda była przepyszna. Brom, autor The Child Thief Cudownie spadało się w głąb króliczej nory, czytając tę mroczną, surową opowieść. Oryginalna fantazja na temat klasycznej powieści, szalona jazda!. Gena Showalter, autorka A Mad Zombie Party, bestsellera New York Timesa Mroczny, cudownie niepokojący upadek w głąb króliczej nory szaleństwa i tajemnic. To nie jest ulizana Alicja Lektura Alicji przenosi w niepewny świat napędzany szaleństwem, gdzie rzeczywistość może usunąć się wam spod nóg, jeśli nie będzie bardzo uważać. Ta pokręcona trawestacja klasycznej książki na nowo ożywia twory Carrolla. Jeżeli szukacie książki, która sprawi, że poczujecie się jak po imprezie z Niebieską Gąsienicą, gorąco polecam Alicję. R.S. Belcher, autor The Brotherhood of the Wheel Przerażająca fantazja, która każe ci na nowo przyjrzeć się miłości do ukochanej książki z dzieciństwa. Gładka jak plusz proza świetnie miesza się z pysznie złożonymi postaciami i zawiłą akcją. Takiego świata Lewis Carroll nigdy sobie nie wyobrażał. RT Book Review (pierwsza pozycja)

"A single mother working in the gothic mansion of a reclusive horror director stumbles upon terrifying secrets in the captivating new horror novel from the national bestselling author of Good Girls Don't Die and Horseman. Harry Adams has always loved horror movies, so it's not totally a coincidence that she took the job cleaning house for movie director Javier Castillo. His forbidding graystone Chigago mansion, Bright Horses, is filled from top to bottom with terrifying props and costumes, as well as glittering awards from his career making horror films that thrilled audiences-until family tragedy and scandal forced him to vanish from the industry. Javier values discretion, and Harry has always tried to clean the house immaculately, keep her head down, and keep her job safe-she needs the money to support her son. But then she starts hearing noises from behind a locked door. Noises that sound remarkably like a human voice calling for help, even though Javier lives alone and never has visitors. Harry knows that not asking questions is a vital part of keeping her job, but she soon finds that the forbidding house may be home to secrets she can't ignore"--Provided by publisher.

A smart, twisty thriller about a woman who finds herself trapped inside a story she knows isn't her own, from the author of Alice and The Girl in Red Celia is trapped in a life that's not hers. Literally. She's waking up in a house with a man who says he's her husband and a daughter who wants her to pack a school lunch. But Celia knows she's not married and she doesn't have children. Even though she can't shake the suspicion that this life is someone else's, there's something about it that's awfully familiar. In fact, this feels just like something she once read in a book. So begins a gripping read that plays on our best-loved tropes and follows three women who will fight with everything they have to survive-and who may find that getting lost in a good book could be the key to salvation.

The author of Alice takes readers through a dark tale of Peter Pan, who turns his best friend into his nemesis, Captain Hook. On an island lives a boy called Peter and his band of merry lost boys, young forever. That is, unless they get sick or killed by pirates or eaten by crocodiles or unless--inexplicably--they grow old. For some of them do grow old, and nobody knows why. One of these boys is called Jamie, and he was the first boy that Peter ever brought to the island. Jamie's lived there for longer than he can remember, and it's not all fun and games. Peter thinks the boys are replaceable, that if one dies or grows up, he can swap in another from the Other Place, the place where he collects new playmates. Jamie looks out for the boys and takes care of them. He does everything Peter does not. Jamie tries to keep them alive because, to him, they matter. When Peter steals a boy who is too young, Jamie takes the boy under his wing. But Peter won't have that, for nobody will ever take Jamie from him. Ever.
