Pages : 310

Book Description
From the author of Borne and Annihilation comes the paperback reissue of his cult classic Shriek: An Afterword. An epic yet personal look at several decades of life, love, and death in the imaginary city of Ambergris—previously chronicled in Jeff VanderMeer’s acclaimed City of Saints and Madmen—Shriek: An Afterword relates the scandalous, heartbreaking, and horrifying secret history of two squabbling siblings and their confidantes, protectors, and enemies. Narrated with flamboyant intensity and under increasingly urgent conditions by the ex-society figure Janice Shriek, this afterword presents a vivid gallery of characters and events, emphasizing the adventures of Janice’s brother Duncan, a historian obsessed with a doomed love affair and a secret that may kill or transform him; a war between rival publishing houses that will change Ambergris forever; and the gray caps, a marginalized people armed with advanced fungal technologies, who have been waiting underground for their chance to mold the future of the city. After reading this introduction to the Family Shriek—part academic treatise, part tell-all biography—you’ll never look at history in quite the same way.

A girl gets caught in a deadly game of hide-and-seek in this first book in the Ghosts of Fear Street series from the master of children’s horror, R.L. Stine—now with a reimagined look!

Past the cemetery, where everyone is dying to meet you. New kid in town Randy discovers there’s much more at stake than she thought in the town’s annual after-dark game of hide-and-seek. Turns out, the seeker is the spirit of a long-dead kid from town, and anyone he tags “it” turns into a ghost! Even worse, the spectral seeker has a particular fondness for new kids…

Book Description
This poetry collection is divided into six sections by subject, placed in the following order: Humor, Family, Reflections, Nature, Adventures, and Livi. Livi is my young granddaughter. These poems all relate my feelings about actual events. I have attempted to write clearly enough for the readers to feel what I felt as I wrote these poems. In doing so, I purposely used much descriptive language detailing what I saw with my eyes and with my heart. I sincerely hope you enjoy reading all of the poems in this collection.
