Great Ghost

Orphaned from a young age, Thia has spent her life trying to live up to her mother’s legacy as a doctor. She’s on track to become a promising medical student, yet she feels like she was meant for something else. The life she thought she knew comes crashing down one stormy Kansas day when Thia inadvertently uncovers clues that reveal her grandma has been lying to her: Her mother was never a doctor; she was a scholar of the supernatural, and all she left behind was a strange mirror that Thia’s grandma is convinced is dangerous.

When Alexander the Great died at the age of 32, his empire stretched from the Adriatic Sea in the west all the way to modern-day India in the east. In an unusual compromise, his two heirs - a mentally damaged half brother, Philip III, and an infant son, Alexander IV, born after his death - were jointly granted the kingship. But six of Alexander's Macedonian generals, spurred by their own thirst for power and the legend that Alexander bequeathed his rule "to the strongest," fought to gain supremacy.

The hermit of Providence kept a second career he rarely signed. H. P. Lovecraft earned his rent not from the stories that made him famous, but from "revision" work that slid quietly into full ghost-writing. A client brought a premise, a dream, or a rough draft. Lovecraft handed back a finished tale. The byline went to the client. His own part stayed hidden, sometimes for decades. This annotated reader's edition collects thirteen of those tales and gives them a clean, honest home: The Curse of Yig, the frontier horror that introduced his snake-god. The Mound, a buried deathless civilization ...
