His forbidding graystone Chicago mansion, Bright Horses, is filled from top to bottom with terrifying props and costumes, as well as glittering awards from his career making 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 working for Javier, but she soon finds that the sinister house may be home to secrets she can’t ignore.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx25ph07rqdz1a2js1j2seg4.jpg?v=dda278f7b8","L7Ex,x%101Iq1WWC}uoL0HWF=:oI",2024,336,[255],{"id":256,"slug":257,"name":258},"01kkfjfq848m7c72dsp1570fpb","christina-henry-ggxk","Christina Henry",[260,264,268,269,270,271],{"id":261,"name":262,"slug":263,"is_fiction":18},47,"Gothic","gothic",{"id":265,"name":266,"slug":267,"is_fiction":18},35,"Paranormal Romance","paranormal-romance",{"id":221,"name":222,"slug":223,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":272,"name":273,"slug":274,"is_fiction":18},24,"Dark Fantasy","dark-fantasy",[],{"pace":78,"complexity":7,"audience":80,"mood":277,"themes":278,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[171,83,82],[],{"id":280,"slug":281,"title":282,"description":283,"primary_cover_url":284,"cover_blurhash":285,"first_publish_year":286,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":287,"authors":288,"genres":293,"series":311,"enrichment":312},"01kx7dm2d755n82av2hh10cn0s","antigoddess-zdxm","Antigoddess","A New York Times–bestselling author \"presents a gory, thrilling vision of the twilight of the gods, in all their pettiness and power\" in this YA thriller ( Publishers Weekly, starred review). Old Gods never die . . . Or so Athena thought. But then the feathers started sprouting beneath her skin, invading her lungs like a strange cancer, and Hermes showed up with a fever eating away his flesh. So much for living a quiet eternity in perpetual health. Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths, Athena and Hermes travel the world, gathering allies. Their search leads them to Cassandra—an ordinary girl who was once an extraordinary prophetess. These days, Cassandra doesn't involve herself in the business of gods—in fact, she doesn't even know they exist. But she could be the key in a war that is only just beginning. Because Hera, the queen of the gods, has aligned herself with other of the ancient Olympians, who are killing off rivals in an attempt to prolong their own lives. But these anti-gods have become corrupted in their desperation to survive, horrific caricatures of their former glory. Athena will need every advantage she can get, because immortals don't just flicker out.

Available for a limited time while supplies last. From award-winning and USA Today bestselling author Kosoko Jackson comes his adult speculative debut, a stand-alone novel blending time travel and globe-hopping adventure, art history, and dark fantasy about magical paintings and the lengths people will go to collect them, destroy them...or be destroyed. A picture is worth a thousand nightmares. Art has always been an escape for struggling painter Lewis Dixon. But other than his mom, who has recently passed away, no one has ever praised his work. If he is being honest, there's really no one in his life. So he is shocked when the British Museum shows an unusual interest in his art. This is his chance to show the world what he's capable of...he just has no idea that he might also be saving the world at the same time. As Lewis soon learns, he has not been invited to participate in a curated show, but rather a test: to see if the fugue-like exhilaration he experiences when painting is actually magic, a power that allows him to enter nine very special paintings--paintings made by his great-grandfather. Spread across the globe, these paintings have unbelievable eldritch abilities...and not necessarily beneficial ones. In terms of power, these are the most valuable works of art in the world, and there are those out there who would do anything to possess just one. And Lewis, upon passing the test, has been asked to destroy them all. Partnered with an alluring agent in museum's employ, Noah Rao, Lewis must travel to Japan, Australia, Nigeria--and the past--plunging himself into a world of black markets, gothic magic, ancient history, and cursed objects to save those unlucky enough to call any of the paintings their own--or to free the world from those who would misuse the power of the paintings. In doing so, he will need to discover if he has what it takes to truly be an artist, the confidence to finally open himself up to someone who could give his lonely life meaning, and the strength to enter and navigate a reality where magic is everywhere.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24mm81hfsjb6x81bdp1b01.jpg?v=455895d161","LWMQYE%h_NbIxDozt7j[.9IUIUoJ",2025,"5.00",400,[327],{"id":328,"slug":329,"name":330},"01kqpthkfazaj29y17nhwbj030","kosoko-jackson-zqch","Kosoko Jackson",[332,333,337,338,342,343,347,348,349,353,354],{"id":272,"name":273,"slug":274,"is_fiction":18},{"id":334,"name":335,"slug":336,"is_fiction":18},48,"Body Horror","body-horror",{"id":221,"name":222,"slug":223,"is_fiction":18},{"id":339,"name":340,"slug":341,"is_fiction":18},6,"Mystery","mystery",{"id":117,"name":118,"slug":119,"is_fiction":18},{"id":344,"name":345,"slug":346,"is_fiction":18},30,"Time Travel","time-travel",{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":350,"name":351,"slug":352,"is_fiction":18},22,"Magical Realism","magical-realism",{"id":163,"name":164,"slug":165,"is_fiction":18},{"id":235,"name":236,"slug":237,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":77,"complexity":7,"audience":80,"mood":357,"themes":358,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[171,82],[173,174],{"id":360,"slug":361,"title":362,"description":363,"primary_cover_url":364,"cover_blurhash":365,"first_publish_year":366,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":7,"authors":367,"genres":372,"series":392,"enrichment":398},"01kx7g2hexstge2j7w89ycxwe6","caldera-8-simon-sez-zz5d","Caldera 8: Simon Sez","Hatcher and his colony of survivors continue rebuilding a life in the aftermath of the rage-virus outbreak, even as new lives are born into the ruins of the old world.

When her twelve-year-old sister Primrose is chosen, sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her place, entering an arena where twenty-four tributes are set against one another and only one is meant to survive.\n\nHardened by years of illegally hunting to keep her family fed, Katniss is a formidable competitor, but staying alive in the arena demands more than skill with a bow. Alongside Peeta Mellark, the baker's son from her own district, she has to win the sympathy of sponsors and the watching audience — which means performing a story of star-crossed love that may or may not be real. As the Games grow crueler and the Capitol's rules shift beneath her, Katniss's choices begin to look less like survival and more like defiance.\n\nThe first book in Suzanne Collins's landmark dystopian trilogy is a taut, first-person survival story and a pointed examination of spectacle, inequality, and the price of rebellion.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz3p8sseh7z14975y9aeaj9.jpg","L47,Mkrq14Fe;1$*EhI;14Nd}BxD",2009,"4.22",458,[716],{"id":717,"slug":718,"name":719},"01kjq6vph4g360qrdet88z0xr4","suzanne-collins-ap54","Suzanne Collins",[721,722,723,727,731,735,736,737,738],{"id":374,"name":375,"slug":376,"is_fiction":18},{"id":221,"name":222,"slug":223,"is_fiction":18},{"id":724,"name":725,"slug":726,"is_fiction":18},61,"YA","ya",{"id":728,"name":729,"slug":730,"is_fiction":18},64,"YA Dystopian","ya-dystopian",{"id":732,"name":733,"slug":734,"is_fiction":18},28,"Dystopian","dystopian",{"id":305,"name":306,"slug":307,"is_fiction":18},{"id":117,"name":118,"slug":119,"is_fiction":18},{"id":113,"name":114,"slug":115,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},[740],{"id":741,"slug":742,"name":708,"position":64,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq6vpytds33kxygdhqr7zmc","the-hunger-games-szuh",{"pace":77,"complexity":7,"audience":313,"mood":744,"themes":745,"setting_period":7,"summary":750,"content_warnings":7},[171,82,400,135],[173,746,747,748,749],"reluctant-hero","love-triangle","sacrifice","coming-of-age","A dystopian survival story: Katniss Everdeen volunteers for a televised fight to the death to save her sister, then has to out-think both the arena and the Capitol's cameras to stay alive.",{"id":752,"slug":753,"title":754,"description":755,"primary_cover_url":756,"cover_blurhash":757,"first_publish_year":758,"community_rating_avg":759,"community_rating_count":339,"page_count":760,"authors":761,"genres":766,"series":781,"enrichment":785},"01kjqv26v37xajnbxfghm0ns2c","ready-player-one-zsjp","Ready Player One","In the year 2045, the real world has become a bleak place of energy shortages, poverty, and climate collapse. To escape it, most of humanity plugs into the OASIS, an immersive virtual universe that serves as school, workplace, marketplace, and playground all at once. When its eccentric billionaire creator, James Halliday, dies without an heir, he leaves behind a will announcing that his entire fortune and control of the OASIS itself will pass to whoever can find an Easter egg hidden inside the simulation — a prize guarded by three riddles rooted in Halliday's obsession with 1980s pop culture.\n\nWade Watts, a lonely teenager living in a trailer stack outside Columbus, Ohio, has spent his life studying Halliday's every favorite film, video game, and song in hopes of winning. When he becomes the first \"gunter\" to solve the opening puzzle, his name rockets to the top of the global scoreboard — and a ruthless corporation called IOI, which wants to seize the OASIS for itself, marks him for elimination. What begins as a game turns into a high-stakes race in which the boundaries between the virtual and the real, friendship and rivalry, begin to blur.\n\nErnest Cline's debut novel is a fast, reference-dense adventure that doubles as a love letter to 1980s gaming and geek culture, while asking what we lose when we choose a perfect simulation over an imperfect world.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjqv26v37xajnbxfghm0ns2c.jpg","LML4NY?bxa~Wg5%Lx[t74oS2s:My",2011,"4.83",428,[762],{"id":763,"slug":764,"name":765},"01kjqv26va71y2kfwrszk2ytaa","ernest-cline-cbfy","Ernest Cline",[767,771,772,773,774,775,776,780],{"id":768,"name":769,"slug":770,"is_fiction":18},27,"Cyberpunk","cyberpunk",{"id":728,"name":729,"slug":730,"is_fiction":18},{"id":374,"name":375,"slug":376,"is_fiction":18},{"id":117,"name":118,"slug":119,"is_fiction":18},{"id":732,"name":733,"slug":734,"is_fiction":18},{"id":305,"name":306,"slug":307,"is_fiction":18},{"id":777,"name":778,"slug":779,"is_fiction":18},121,"LitRPG","litrpg",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},[782],{"id":783,"slug":784,"name":754,"position":64,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjsvpzk27xrgdfgb6fk0y5zk","ready-player-one-5ops",{"pace":77,"complexity":7,"audience":80,"mood":786,"themes":788,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[787,135,82],"nostalgic",[789,700,790,749],"quest","mentor-figure",{"id":792,"slug":793,"title":794,"description":795,"primary_cover_url":796,"cover_blurhash":797,"first_publish_year":798,"community_rating_avg":145,"community_rating_count":567,"page_count":630,"authors":799,"genres":801,"series":813,"enrichment":815},"01kjqtz9hspcpv25wdkmhafz4m","catching-fire-vsuf","Catching Fire","Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games, but her defiance in the arena has turned her into a symbol she never intended to become.

With Artemis gone, the balance among the gods tips toward danger, and a quest is launched to find her before the winter solstice council convenes. The questers, drawn from Camp Half-Blood and Artemis's immortal band of Hunters, journey across the country toward the mountain where an ancient Titan plots his return. Along the way Percy navigates uneasy alliances, the sting of being benched, and a prophecy that promises loss. This third installment darkens the saga's tone considerably, raising the stakes of the looming war with the Titans and confronting its young heroes with genuine sacrifice. New characters expand the mythology, old loyalties are tested, and the cost of being a hero becomes painfully concrete.

Kronos, the Titan lord, has gathered an army and means to march on Mount Olympus, which sits hidden above the Empire State Building in the heart of New York. With the Olympians drawn away to fight a greater threat, the city's defense falls to a thin line of demigods, satyrs, and unlikely allies. Percy Jackson stands at the center of it all, shadowed by a prophecy that says a child of the eldest gods will make a choice on their sixteenth birthday that saves or destroys Olympus, and his birthday is days away. As his most dangerous summer unfolds, Percy makes a perilous bargain to gain an edge for the coming battle and rallies the demigods of Camp Half-Blood into a desperate stand across Manhattan. Old enemies, buried secrets, and the true meaning of the prophecy converge in a climactic siege that demands sacrifice from nearly everyone. This fifth and final volume pays off five books of building tension with its largest battles, its hardest losses, and its most emotional reckonings. Riordan brings the saga to a close that honors its themes of loyalty, family, and the fragile line between heroism and ruin, while keeping the warmth and wit that defined Percy from the start.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz62fmxsg9bk7mwafyy1xxw.jpg","L4B{#@D3x]ak]i9F#jn31T}tS$KN","4.50",370,[863],{"id":831,"slug":832,"name":833},[865,866,867,868,869],{"id":221,"name":222,"slug":223,"is_fiction":18},{"id":299,"name":300,"slug":301,"is_fiction":18},{"id":212,"name":213,"slug":214,"is_fiction":18},{"id":123,"name":124,"slug":125,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},[871,872],{"id":842,"slug":843,"name":844,"position":324,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"id":846,"slug":847,"name":848,"position":324,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":77,"complexity":7,"audience":850,"mood":874,"themes":876,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[135,82,875],"emotional",[877,748,700],"chosen-one",{"id":879,"slug":880,"title":881,"description":882,"primary_cover_url":883,"cover_blurhash":884,"first_publish_year":885,"community_rating_avg":860,"community_rating_count":221,"page_count":886,"authors":887,"genres":889,"series":895,"enrichment":898},"01kjr41cqdpyrw4s6z1p05t8n9","the-battle-of-the-labyrinth-tymc","The Battle of the Labyrinth","As Percy starts high school, the war with the Titans is no longer a distant threat.

If the enemy gains a guide through its twisting corridors, the camp's defenses will mean nothing. To stop them, Annabeth leads a small band, Percy, Tyson, and Grover, into the Labyrinth itself in search of its long-vanished architect, hoping to reach Daedalus before Luke does. Inside, the maze warps time and space, throwing the questers against monsters, mad gods, and ghosts of the past while testing their trust in one another. Above ground, Percy's mortal life grows complicated by Rachel Elizabeth Dare, a girl who can see through the magical Mist, and by the tangled loyalties of Nico di Angelo, who is chasing his own grief into the realm of the dead. The fourth book deepens every thread of the saga, pushing its heroes toward harder choices and steeper losses as the final confrontation draws near.

Whisked to Camp Half-Blood, a sanctuary for children of the gods on Long Island, he begins to understand a world hidden just behind the mortal one. But his arrival coincides with crisis. Zeus's master lightning bolt has been stolen, and the king of the gods blames Percy. With war among the Olympians looming, Percy is given ten days to find the real thief and return the bolt before the summer solstice. He sets out across the United States with two companions: Annabeth, a sharp daughter of Athena, and Grover, a satyr charged with his protection. Their road trip becomes a gauntlet of mythological dangers, leading at last to the Underworld and a confrontation that reveals a deeper conspiracy stirring beneath the squabbles of the gods.

It launched the Six of Crows duology and became one of the defining fantasy series for young adult readers.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjq79eypgrc1ybz3d9kjxzw9.jpg","LJBp@Hog?wxuD$%gayf6ozfPRPt7",2015,"4.45",504,[984],{"id":949,"slug":950,"name":951},[986,987,988,989,990,991,992,993,994],{"id":117,"name":118,"slug":119,"is_fiction":18},{"id":295,"name":296,"slug":297,"is_fiction":18},{"id":217,"name":218,"slug":219,"is_fiction":18},{"id":305,"name":306,"slug":307,"is_fiction":18},{"id":221,"name":222,"slug":223,"is_fiction":18},{"id":339,"name":340,"slug":341,"is_fiction":18},{"id":230,"name":231,"slug":232,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":113,"name":114,"slug":115,"is_fiction":18},[996,997],{"id":962,"slug":963,"name":964,"position":64,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"id":966,"slug":967,"name":968,"position":145,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":77,"complexity":7,"audience":313,"mood":999,"themes":1000,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[171,82,400,135],[1001,700,174,972],"heist",{"id":1003,"slug":1004,"title":1005,"description":1006,"primary_cover_url":1007,"cover_blurhash":1008,"first_publish_year":1009,"community_rating_avg":145,"community_rating_count":230,"page_count":1010,"authors":1011,"genres":1013,"series":1019,"enrichment":1022},"01kjr2vhfy6x9yawrfb7e1b992","the-sea-of-monsters-b4tc","The Sea of Monsters","Percy's quiet seventh-grade year shatters when a dodgeball game turns into a monster ambush and a new friend, the awkward and powerful Tyson, turns out to be more than he seems. Worse news waits at Camp Half-Blood: the magical pine tree that shields the camp's borders has been poisoned, leaving its defenses failing and monsters slipping through. Only one thing can heal it, the legendary Golden Fleece, hidden somewhere in the treacherous waters of the Sea of Monsters. With Grover missing and a rival demigod already dispatched on the official quest, Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson set out on an unauthorized rescue of their own. Their voyage carries them through waters teeming with mythological perils, from a luxury-cruise nightmare to the enchantress Circe's island to the deadly song of the Sirens, all while Percy grapples with a more personal shock: Tyson is a Cyclops, and his half-brother. The journey forces Percy to confront his embarrassment over family, to reckon with prejudice and loyalty, and to learn that strength comes in unexpected forms. Lighter and faster than its predecessor while deepening the saga's central mysteries, the book sets ominous pieces in motion as the threat of the Titan lord Kronos grows clearer and a long-buried prophecy edges closer to its hour.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4b1mrnpzp6s4yf7yy0jn6.jpg","LCF}cQmT0#5R-AM}t6$g1hM|}?$g",2006,292,[1012],{"id":831,"slug":832,"name":833},[1014,1015,1016,1017,1018],{"id":221,"name":222,"slug":223,"is_fiction":18},{"id":212,"name":213,"slug":214,"is_fiction":18},{"id":123,"name":124,"slug":125,"is_fiction":18},{"id":299,"name":300,"slug":301,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},[1020,1021],{"id":846,"slug":847,"name":848,"position":616,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"id":842,"slug":843,"name":844,"position":616,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":77,"complexity":7,"audience":850,"mood":1023,"themes":1024,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[135,536,242],[700,789,749,1025],"road-trip",{"id":1027,"slug":1028,"title":1029,"description":1030,"primary_cover_url":1031,"cover_blurhash":1032,"first_publish_year":323,"community_rating_avg":1033,"community_rating_count":230,"page_count":325,"authors":1034,"genres":1036,"series":1044,"enrichment":1047},"01kk5snd0pat85ke6m4y5k4sw2","sunrise-on-the-reaping-7ob0","Sunrise on the Reaping","Fifty years before Katniss Everdeen volunteers as tribute, sixteen-year-old Haymitch Abernathy is dragged from his home in District 12 to compete in the fiftieth Hunger Games — the second Quarter Quell, in which twice as many children are sent into the arena.

To save her, a small crew of students — including the mermaid-hearted Cora and skeleton-loving Christopher — set out on a quest that will take them from the school to a land of the dead and on to Confection itself, to see whether a death can be undone and a daughter kept from vanishing.\n\nThe third Wayward Children novella turns from grief toward buoyant, bittersweet adventure — a story of friendship, baking, and derring-do that widens Seanan McGuire's cycle of doors and the children who long to return through them.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kt4s91jjye4fq8yc595w8d8z.jpg?v=1b7a3690c9","LWF5%Xp{IosmG^TeSNod9ERPxuof",2018,"3.67",176,[1063],{"id":1064,"slug":1065,"name":1066},"01kjrdrwkbt02st707cvmp94j8","seanan-mcguire-svqr","Seanan McGuire",[1068,1069,1070],{"id":221,"name":222,"slug":223,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":295,"name":296,"slug":297,"is_fiction":18},[1072],{"id":1073,"slug":1074,"name":1075,"position":590,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kk078aqe75x6e78aamjbg8x2","wayward-children-eybk","Wayward Children",{"pace":77,"complexity":7,"audience":313,"mood":1077,"themes":1079,"setting_period":7,"summary":1081,"content_warnings":7},[242,135,1078],"hopeful",[789,700,1080],"portal-fantasy","A girl named Rini plummets into the school's pond, fading from existence because her mother Sumi died before Rini was ever born.
