BAD NEWS, GIRLS: THEY'RE DEAD. Now a fraternity is throwing its annual Dead Girls' Dance and -- surprise! -- Claire and her equally outcast best friend, Eve, have been invited. When they find out why, all hell is going to break loose. Because this time both the living and the dead are coming out -- and everybody's hungry for blood.

This much anticipated collection of stories, written by Oxford University Fellow and Pain Scientist, Dr GL Moseley, provides an entertaining and informative way to understand modern pain biology. Described by critics as 'a gem' and by clinicians as 'entertaining and educative', Painful Yarns is a unique book. The stories, some of his travels in outback Australia, some of experiences growing up, are great yarns. At the end of each story, there is a section "so what has this got to do with pain?" in which Lorimer uses the story as a metaphor for some aspect of pain biology. The level of the pain education is appropriate for patients and health professionals. The entertainment is good for everyone. You don't have to be interested in pain to get something from this book and a laugh or two!

Tragedy has struck His Majesty’s Aerial Corps, whose magnificent fleet of fighting dragons and their human captains valiantly defend England’s shores against the encroaching armies of Napoleon Bonaparte. An epidemic of unknown origin and no known cure is decimating the noble dragons’ ranks–forcing the hopelessly stricken into quarantine. Now only Temeraire and a pack of newly recruited dragons remain uninfected–and stand as the only means of an airborne defense against France’s ever bolder sorties. Bonaparte’s dragons are already harrowing Britain’s ships at sea. Only one recourse remains: Temeraire and his captain, Will Laurence, must take wing to Africa, whose shores may hold the cure to the mysterious and deadly contagion. On this mission there is no time to waste, and no telling what lies in store beyond the horizon or for those left behind to wait, hope, and hold the line.

Seth Anderson has come to Sturgeon Falls determined to prove two things. First, that he'd never fathered a child.

The passionate and loving woman who swore she'd never let her friend's daughter go off with a complete stranger makes him see what he's sacrificed by always putting his career first. And that's not all... he quickly realizes how much he hopes his suspicions are wrong.

I'm a con artist, and I've got my sights set on Beau Radcliffe. He's dominant, arrogant, and always thinks he's the smartest person in the room. But he made the mistake of getting way too drunk one night and telling me all about the twisted ways of the dark, mysterious secret society he was about to be initiated into. So, I steal an invite and show up as a belle. And just like that night in the bar several months ago, Beau picks me out of the line-up to be his partner in debauchery for the next three months. I'll get everything I ever dreamed of if I can just stick it out with him. Beau thinks he's in charge, making the rules of this game as we go, but he has no idea. This is going to be fun...

The Mister B. of the title is Jakabob Botch, a demon whose ghastly past could make even the most merciless sociopath whimper in sympathy. Born in the deepest regions of hell, the spawn of an abusive drunkard and his whorish wife, Jakabob escapes to the world above after suffering fiendish torture. Once topside, he lands conveniently in 15th-century Mainz, the home of printing inventor Johannes Gutenberg. However, Mister B. isn't interested in merely observing history; like any other self-respecting diabolical being, he's just searching for a new demonic angle. A ghoulishly good fright fest.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa blends a sense of sad inevitability with subtle irony. Reflective and often humorous, these tales reveal an enormous amount about Japanese culture, while the inner struggles of the characters always strike the universal.

My name might be Alice, and this sure as hell isn't wonderland, but everyone is definitely a little mad here. My life is a series of near misses. Or, at least, it was. But the man who saved me at the bar from a guy who definitely didn't have the best intentions, might have even worse ones.And so do his friends. Knowing who my father is, I know better than to talk to strangers, and it's just my luck that my four knights in shining armor have their own vendetta against him.The next thing I know, I'm a damsel in distress—a pawn in their game against my father because I'm his one weak link. But the longer I stay on this little island of misfit toys, the more things start to become clear, and the people I thought were heroes might very well be the villains in my story.Then again, I always did think Wendy might love Hook more, and that the Beauty wanted her Beast, that Ariel deserved a bit of revenge. And, last but not least, that Hades—the...
