Bateman's colleagues are interchangeable; no one truly sees him, and his confessions are met with indifference or misheard entirely. The book leaves it deliberately unclear how much of the violence is real and how much is the fantasy of a man dissolving into the culture that made him.\n\nNotorious for its brutality and long a lightning rod for controversy, it remains a defining work of transgressive fiction — a cold, funny, and genuinely disturbing portrait of emptiness dressed as success.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz63dz75x0ck7q9b61bzm3w.jpg","LBEJGG1{{M=H,Gw{xZag2[#-6%K3",1991,"5.00",464,[151,155],{"id":152,"slug":153,"name":154},"01kjssmfqwtcnctbx9216tf2gq","bret-easton-ellis-lhth","Bret Easton Ellis",{"id":156,"slug":157,"name":158},"01kjssmfrmag6ftbt9v65s2rwc","mariano-antolin-rato-nl6q","Mariano Antolín Rato",[160,164,165,166,169,170,174,178,179],{"id":161,"name":162,"slug":163,"is_fiction":21},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":118,"name":119,"slug":120,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":75,"name":167,"slug":168,"is_fiction":21},"Horror","horror",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":171,"name":172,"slug":173,"is_fiction":20},83,"Sociology","sociology",{"id":175,"name":176,"slug":177,"is_fiction":20},96,"Psychology","psychology",{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":127,"name":128,"slug":129,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":182,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":183,"themes":184,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"moderate",[78,138],[84],{"id":186,"slug":187,"title":188,"description":189,"primary_cover_url":190,"cover_blurhash":191,"first_publish_year":192,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":193,"authors":194,"genres":199,"series":205,"enrichment":210},"01kjz3pdpb6rvd2twtdjv9syce","yellowface-aewb","Yellowface","June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars of the literary world. Instead, Athena is a wildly successful, critically adored Chinese American novelist, and June is a struggling white writer no one remembers. When Athena dies in a freak accident, June impulsively steals her just-finished manuscript, a sweeping novel about the Chinese laborers of the First World War, and revises and publishes it as her own, under the racially ambiguous pen name Juniper Song. The book is a smash, and June finally has the fame she believes she deserves. But the lie is fragile. As readers, journalists, and the internet begin to probe the story's origins, accusations of plagiarism and cultural appropriation gather, and June is pulled into a spiral of justification, paranoia, and escalating deceit. Narrated entirely in June's slippery, self-serving first-person voice, this contemporary novel is a sharp, propulsive satire of the publishing industry, performative diversity, racism, and the outrage machine of social media.

To her millions of followers, she is the perfect “tradwife”: baking sourdough, raising her children on a sun-dappled ranch, and modeling a wholesome life supposedly stripped of modern excess. What the camera never shows are the nannies, the producers, and the industrial appliances humming just out of frame. Then a public scandal detonates her carefully managed image — and Natalie wakes to find herself trapped in a brutal, unforgiving version of 1855. The ranch is now a freezing cabin without plumbing or heat; the children who answer to her are strangers; and the household is ruled by an archaic, menacing version of her own family. Forced to actually live the pioneer existence she once performed for views, she tries to work out whether she is the victim of an elaborate hoax, a twisted reality show, or something far stranger. Burke’s debut threads social satire through psychological suspense, using Natalie’s predicament to interrogate the performance of womanhood, the machinery behind influencer culture, and the seductive lie of “the good old days.” Sharp, claustrophobic, and darkly comic, the novel asks what is left of a person once the curated self collapses and the audience is gone.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kpae2pf0c191n2b8xat0jyn9.jpg","4.29",400,[223],{"id":224,"slug":225,"name":226},"01kpae2pevm0pxeghtgq1r7715","caro-claire-burke-o2yn","Caro Claire Burke",[228,229,230,231,232,233],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":118,"name":119,"slug":120,"is_fiction":21},{"id":114,"name":115,"slug":116,"is_fiction":21},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":234,"name":235,"slug":236,"is_fiction":21},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",[],{"pace":73,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":239,"themes":240,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[80,138],[241],"fish-out-of-water",{"id":243,"slug":244,"title":245,"description":246,"primary_cover_url":247,"cover_blurhash":248,"first_publish_year":249,"community_rating_avg":250,"community_rating_count":109,"page_count":251,"authors":252,"genres":261,"series":270,"enrichment":271},"01kkfjek3042jqh9kxymb21c42","tender-is-the-flesh-g7qp","Tender Is the Flesh","After a virus makes all animal meat lethal to humans, the world faces a choice: go without, or find another source.

Drawn from the newspapers and magazines where the pieces first appeared, the collection was assembled by Ezzeddine Madani and published in 1969, decades after al-Du'aji's early death.\n\nAcross fifteen short stories, al-Du'aji turns a wry, affectionate, and often biting eye on everyday Tunisian life, its cafés, streets, and ordinary people, using humor and irony as instruments of sharp social observation. His light, conversational style masks a serious critique of the manners and hypocrisies of his time. Two of the collection's best-known stories were later adapted for film and for the stage.\n\nA landmark of modern Tunisian and Arabic literature, the collection endures as a portrait of a place and an era, and as a showcase of a distinctive comic voice.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfgxstxjx0syprg5tnn6pgj.jpg","LaD-8paxK8s-t:j]jFbJF*jbr;a~",1969,[373],{"id":374,"slug":375,"name":376},"01kkfgxstpycyqxvbnyxa4z3fh","aaly-aldoaaagy-nxiu","علي الدوعاجي",[378,382,383,387,391,395,396],{"id":379,"name":380,"slug":381,"is_fiction":21},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":384,"name":385,"slug":386,"is_fiction":20},86,"Essays","essays",{"id":388,"name":389,"slug":390,"is_fiction":21},15,"Drama","drama",{"id":392,"name":393,"slug":394,"is_fiction":21},142,"Short Stories","short-stories",{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":127,"name":128,"slug":129,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":182,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":399,"themes":403,"setting_period":7,"summary":404,"content_warnings":7},[138,79,400,401,402],"nostalgic","lighthearted","reflective",[],"A landmark collection of fifteen short stories by the Tunisian satirist Ali al-Du'aji, gathered from old newspapers and magazines and published in 1969.

Led by the pigs, the most clever of the animals, the farm is renamed and the beasts set about running their world for their own benefit.\n\nBut power reshapes those who hold it. As the ambitious boar Napoleon consolidates control, the founding ideals are quietly rewritten, dissent is punished, and the promises of the revolution curdle into a tyranny that looks unsettlingly like the one it replaced. The other animals, loyal and hardworking, struggle to remember how things were meant to be.\n\nGeorge Orwell's short, savage fable uses a barnyard uprising to trace how revolutions are betrayed, how language is bent to serve power, and how easily the many can be ruled by the few.

Ted knows the neighbours think the worst of him. He also knows there are gaps in his memory he would rather not examine.\n\nThen Dee moves into the empty house next door. Years earlier, her little sister vanished from a nearby lake, and Dee has never stopped searching. She is certain Ted knows something. As she watches him, and as the narrative shifts between Ted, Olivia, and Dee, the reader is pulled into a story where nothing is stable and no account can be trusted.\n\nCatriona Ward's genre-bending psychological horror is a masterclass in misdirection — unbearably tense, deeply unsettling, and built around a structure that reveals itself only piece by piece.

Three low-income families are offered a generous sum to spend a day at the cliffside estate of Geraldine Borden, an elderly millionaire. The catch is simple: their children must test the revolutionary playground equipment she has spent decades designing.\n\nBut the structures hidden in the bowels of Geraldine's gothic mansion were never built for play. Unable to have a child of her own and contemptuous of the adopted son she considers a failure, Geraldine has turned her grief and rage into a machine for murdering other people's children. Thrust into a realm of engineered violence, a band of mismatched kids must grow up in an instant if any of them hope to survive.\n\nNotorious for pushing the boundaries of extreme horror, Playground is a short, savage read built on graphic gore and mounting dread. It is emphatically not for the squeamish.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfgwmqtwpt19w24gfkkbmew.jpg","LEA+%6M{9ut6AVo~Vss9~CNFa#od",2022,290,[660],{"id":661,"slug":662,"name":663},"01kkfgwmqj3x7n84af4ewa04xg","aron-beauregard-fedi","Aron Beauregard",[665,666,667,668,672],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":470,"name":471,"slug":472,"is_fiction":21},{"id":75,"name":167,"slug":168,"is_fiction":21},{"id":669,"name":670,"slug":671,"is_fiction":21},49,"Slasher","slasher",{"id":673,"name":674,"slug":675,"is_fiction":21},48,"Body Horror","body-horror",[],{"pace":73,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":678,"themes":679,"setting_period":7,"summary":680,"content_warnings":7},[78,360,80,82],[648],"A notorious 2022 splatterpunk shocker.

Instead she finds a house full of secrets — a long-unsolved family disappearance — and the unsettling sense that she is never truly alone. Someone is watching her.\n\nThat someone is Zade Meadows, a masked vigilante who runs an underground operation targeting human traffickers, and who has become dangerously obsessed with Adeline. As Adeline unravels the mystery buried in the manor's history with the help of her friend Daya, the line between predator and protector blurs into something neither of them can control.\n\nHaunting Adeline is the first book in H.D. Carlton's Cat and Mouse Duet, a BookTok phenomenon known as much for its polarizing reputation as its popularity. It is an extremely dark, graphic romance built on a stalker premise and should be approached with its extensive content warnings firmly in mind. The story concludes in Hunting Adeline.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7d16vpnbx2zmyg0xv52j2.jpg","L37UC$RjDibb~p4nM{_3_3-pD%WB",4,624,[691],{"id":692,"slug":693,"name":694},"01kjq7d15n9d0n7nxmbjwtnxs7","h-d-carlton-ucki","H.

Adeline has fallen into the hands of the very organization Zade Meadows has devoted his life to destroying — a ritualistic network of powerful men who traffic women and children. While Adeline endures captivity, Zade unleashes everything he is to find her.\n\nThe novel is split in two: the first half follows the hunt and rescue; the second follows the long, difficult work of recovery, as Zade and Adeline confront what was done to her and turn toward the people responsible. Their bond is tested by trauma, vengeance, and the question of whether either of them can be whole again.\n\nThe second and final book of H.D. Carlton's Cat and Mouse Duet, Hunting Adeline is an extremely graphic dark romance that deals explicitly with sexual violence, trafficking, and torture. It should only be read alongside its full content warnings.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4n706yj99s0fmcy2n470a.jpg","L16ahts:}Ykq^*X9-A%gjY#SyDoz","4.33",704,[792],{"id":692,"slug":693,"name":694},[794,795,796,797,801,802],{"id":704,"name":705,"slug":706,"is_fiction":21},{"id":688,"name":701,"slug":702,"is_fiction":21},{"id":739,"name":740,"slug":741,"is_fiction":21},{"id":798,"name":799,"slug":800,"is_fiction":21},39,"Erotica","erotica",{"id":710,"name":711,"slug":712,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},[804],{"id":716,"slug":717,"name":718,"position":805,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"2.00",{"pace":73,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":807,"themes":808,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[78,80],[809],"revenge",{"key":811,"params":812,"works":813},"genre_mood",{"genre":41,"mood":78},[814,830,872,902,919,937],{"id":406,"slug":407,"title":408,"description":409,"primary_cover_url":410,"cover_blurhash":411,"first_publish_year":412,"community_rating_avg":413,"community_rating_count":414,"page_count":415,"authors":815,"genres":817,"series":826,"enrichment":827},[816],{"id":418,"slug":419,"name":420},[818,819,820,821,822,823,824,825],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":379,"name":380,"slug":381,"is_fiction":21},{"id":425,"name":426,"slug":427,"is_fiction":20},{"id":265,"name":266,"slug":267,"is_fiction":21},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":127,"name":128,"slug":129,"is_fiction":21},{"id":432,"name":433,"slug":434,"is_fiction":21},{"id":234,"name":235,"slug":236,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":73,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":828,"themes":829,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[78,402],[],{"id":831,"slug":832,"title":833,"description":834,"primary_cover_url":835,"cover_blurhash":836,"first_publish_year":371,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":837,"authors":838,"genres":843,"series":868,"enrichment":869},"01kjr28nrj3y5bcjenhqb4y0c6","slaughterhouse-five-bzqq","Slaughterhouse-Five","Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.

In between, he is kidnapped by aliens from the planet Tralfamadore and displayed in a zoo, where he learns their serene, fatalistic view of time in which every moment simply is, always has been, and always will be.\n\nDrawing on Kurt Vonnegut's own experience as a POW who lived through the Dresden bombing sheltering in a meat locker, Slaughterhouse-Five refracts unspeakable trauma through science fiction, black comedy, and a fractured, time-hopping structure. Its famous refrain — \"so it goes\" — punctuates every death with weary, defiant resignation.\n\nA landmark of postwar American literature, Vonnegut's anti-war masterpiece is by turns absurd, mournful, and quietly furious: a book about the impossibility of making sense of atrocity, and the human need to try anyway.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjr28nsthqk6p0n9bpsahexh.jpg","LYJ5yX}c}I,]}vR%S1I.$,aeOBWA",208,[839],{"id":840,"slug":841,"name":842},"01kjr28nrt1kvb2fkr2knarp9j","kurt-vonnegut-unuc","Kurt Vonnegut",[844,845,846,850,851,852,856,857,858,862,866,867],{"id":425,"name":426,"slug":427,"is_fiction":20},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":847,"name":848,"slug":849,"is_fiction":21},54,"World War II","world-war-ii",{"id":388,"name":389,"slug":390,"is_fiction":21},{"id":234,"name":235,"slug":236,"is_fiction":21},{"id":853,"name":854,"slug":855,"is_fiction":21},57,"Military","military",{"id":379,"name":380,"slug":381,"is_fiction":21},{"id":109,"name":110,"slug":111,"is_fiction":21},{"id":859,"name":860,"slug":861,"is_fiction":21},30,"Time Travel","time-travel",{"id":863,"name":864,"slug":865,"is_fiction":20},91,"Military History","military-history",{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":127,"name":128,"slug":129,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":182,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":870,"themes":871,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[78,402,581],[],{"id":873,"slug":874,"title":875,"description":876,"primary_cover_url":877,"cover_blurhash":878,"first_publish_year":879,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":880,"authors":881,"genres":886,"series":895,"enrichment":899},"01kjsvs38ejjnas6jze5hayesy","catch-22-xte9","Catch-22","Captain John Yossarian is a U.S. Army Air Forces bombardier stationed on the tiny Mediterranean island of Pianosa in the final year of World War II, and he has decided that everyone is trying to kill him.

The only way out is to be declared insane, but here he runs into the catch.\n\nCatch-22 specifies that a concern for one's own safety in the face of real and immediate danger is the process of a rational mind. To be excused from flying missions, a man must be crazy; but any man who asks to be excused is obviously sane, and so must keep flying. It is, Yossarian realizes, a perfect trap, and it is everywhere.\n\nJoseph Heller's savage, hilarious, and structurally daring novel spirals through a huge cast of grotesques — the war-profiteering mess officer Milo Minderbinder, the glory-hungry Colonel Cathcart who keeps raising the number of required missions, the bewildered chaplain — in a looping, non-chronological assault on the logic of war and bureaucracy. Beneath the farce runs real horror, and Catch-22 has become one of the defining anti-war novels of the twentieth century, its title now a byword for any absurd, no-win situation.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4qk6714vxjhkg059f26xq.jpg","LID,Qm~V?H%gtRg3ofs._MS$M|sm",1961,450,[882],{"id":883,"slug":884,"name":885},"01kjqhexfw50db39gr0qw0h8ae","joseph-heller-wpc3","Joseph Heller",[887,888,889,890,891,892,893,894],{"id":175,"name":176,"slug":177,"is_fiction":20},{"id":379,"name":380,"slug":381,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":847,"name":848,"slug":849,"is_fiction":21},{"id":388,"name":389,"slug":390,"is_fiction":21},{"id":863,"name":864,"slug":865,"is_fiction":20},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":127,"name":128,"slug":129,"is_fiction":21},[896],{"id":897,"slug":898,"name":875,"position":135,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kqdt6fyafcqaj3qm14tbvxge","catch-22-q6bf",{"pace":182,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":900,"themes":901,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[78,138],[],{"id":94,"slug":95,"title":96,"description":97,"primary_cover_url":98,"cover_blurhash":99,"first_publish_year":100,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":101,"authors":903,"genres":905,"series":914,"enrichment":916},[904],{"id":104,"slug":105,"name":106},[906,907,908,909,910,911,912,913],{"id":109,"name":110,"slug":111,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":114,"name":115,"slug":116,"is_fiction":21},{"id":118,"name":119,"slug":120,"is_fiction":21},{"id":122,"name":123,"slug":124,"is_fiction":20},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":127,"name":128,"slug":129,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},[915],{"id":133,"slug":134,"name":96,"position":135,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":73,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":917,"themes":918,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[78,138],[84],{"id":141,"slug":142,"title":143,"description":144,"primary_cover_url":145,"cover_blurhash":146,"first_publish_year":147,"community_rating_avg":148,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":149,"authors":920,"genres":923,"series":933,"enrichment":934},[921,922],{"id":152,"slug":153,"name":154},{"id":156,"slug":157,"name":158},[924,925,926,927,928,929,930,931,932],{"id":161,"name":162,"slug":163,"is_fiction":21},{"id":118,"name":119,"slug":120,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":75,"name":167,"slug":168,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":171,"name":172,"slug":173,"is_fiction":20},{"id":175,"name":176,"slug":177,"is_fiction":20},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":127,"name":128,"slug":129,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":182,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":935,"themes":936,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[78,138],[84],{"id":186,"slug":187,"title":188,"description":189,"primary_cover_url":190,"cover_blurhash":191,"first_publish_year":192,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":193,"authors":938,"genres":940,"series":946,"enrichment":948},[939],{"id":196,"slug":197,"name":198},[941,942,943,944,945],{"id":114,"name":115,"slug":116,"is_fiction":21},{"id":118,"name":119,"slug":120,"is_fiction":21},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},[947],{"id":207,"slug":208,"name":209,"position":135,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":73,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":949,"themes":950,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[80,78],[84,213],{"key":952,"params":953,"works":954},"genre",{"genre":41},[955,992,1006,1027,1050,1072],{"id":956,"slug":957,"title":958,"description":959,"primary_cover_url":960,"cover_blurhash":961,"first_publish_year":962,"community_rating_avg":963,"community_rating_count":234,"page_count":964,"authors":965,"genres":970,"series":983,"enrichment":987},"01kjq7gw87xqh6ev93d1x6hyt7","the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-wr4p","The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy","On an ordinary Thursday morning, Arthur Dent discovers that his house is about to be bulldozed to make way for a bypass.

Moments before the planet is vaporized, the two hitch a ride on a passing Vogon spaceship.\n\nSo begins one of the funniest and most quoted science-fiction adventures ever written.

Along the way he meets Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed ex-President of the Galaxy; Trillian, the only other human survivor; and Marvin, a chronically depressed robot — and edges ever closer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.\n\nWildly inventive, gleefully absurd, and packed with satire, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the first book in Douglas Adams's beloved \"trilogy in five parts.\"","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6ysnpds2bawaac08jhfrk.jpg","L48$vs0xqG0No-By%2=jQ8tVT#W5",1979,"3.88",178,[966],{"id":967,"slug":968,"name":969},"01kjq7gw8d1h8xpgt5ha0jqdzd","douglas-adams-2grb","Douglas Adams",[971,972,976,977,981,982],{"id":109,"name":110,"slug":111,"is_fiction":21},{"id":973,"name":974,"slug":975,"is_fiction":21},26,"Space Opera","space-opera",{"id":127,"name":128,"slug":129,"is_fiction":21},{"id":978,"name":979,"slug":980,"is_fiction":21},120,"Comic Fiction","comic-fiction",{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":379,"name":380,"slug":381,"is_fiction":21},[984],{"id":985,"slug":986,"name":958,"position":135,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq7gwgw87q63q755vegpsw3","the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-tqzk",{"pace":73,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":988,"themes":991,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[138,989,990],"whimsical","adventurous",[241],{"id":215,"slug":216,"title":217,"description":218,"primary_cover_url":219,"cover_blurhash":7,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":220,"community_rating_count":75,"page_count":221,"authors":993,"genres":995,"series":1002,"enrichment":1003},[994],{"id":224,"slug":225,"name":226},[996,997,998,999,1000,1001],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":118,"name":119,"slug":120,"is_fiction":21},{"id":114,"name":115,"slug":116,"is_fiction":21},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":234,"name":235,"slug":236,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":73,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":1004,"themes":1005,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[80,138],[241],{"id":1007,"slug":1008,"title":1009,"description":1010,"primary_cover_url":1011,"cover_blurhash":1012,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":432,"page_count":7,"authors":1013,"genres":1018,"series":1023,"enrichment":1024},"01kqs6y2jn66p0ab773y2wcne1","lost-lambs-qska","Lost Lambs","The Flynn family is quietly falling apart.

Abigail, the eldest, is dating a much older man the family has nicknamed War Crime Wes; middle child Louise keeps up a secret correspondence with an online extremist; and the brilliant, unnerving youngest, Harper, is packed off to a wilderness reform camp for insisting that someone—or something—is watching their small coastal town.\n\nLooming over all of it is Paul Alabaster, a billionaire shipping magnate whose rumored corruption everyone would rather ignore. Everyone except Harper, whose fixation on a mysterious shipping container drags the whole family into a genuine criminal conspiracy—one that, improbably, might be the thing that finally pulls them back together.\n\nTold in a chorus of voices that pings between the Flynns and the townspeople around them, Madeline Cash's debut novel Lost Lambs is a quick-witted, irreverent, unexpectedly tender family saga for the twenty-first century.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kvfvvn4cjd0p8qpcqwgs7ht6.jpg?v=5d18cd71b7","LHJbBDD%M|-;5PS0=}V]~DV@xuM{",[1014],{"id":1015,"slug":1016,"name":1017},"01kqs6y2mbw0wsxgy9x2m73g0q","madeline-cash-ldsx","Madeline Cash",[1019,1020,1021,1022],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":498,"name":499,"slug":500,"is_fiction":21},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},{"id":118,"name":119,"slug":120,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":182,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":1025,"themes":1026,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[138],[547],{"id":1028,"slug":1029,"title":1030,"description":1031,"primary_cover_url":1032,"cover_blurhash":1033,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":1034,"community_rating_count":432,"page_count":1035,"authors":1036,"genres":1041,"series":1045,"enrichment":1046},"01kvsr3ccgk0heah66rmpthgyq","self-worth-fwud","Self-Worth","Anna has just finished a master's degree and can't scrape together the money to fund a doctorate.

Within days he has vomited thousands of euros, and the young couple who prided themselves on wanting nothing are suddenly, absurdly rich.\n\nAnna loves every minute of it: the designer bag, the holiday in Tahiti, the parties in the glossy new apartment.
