It is a house of bad memories, presided over by his Aunt Bunny, who made sure the boy grew up without a single happy one. Back among the woods and the wreckage of his family, Silas hopes only to weather a hard season and move on.\n\nBut the house has not forgotten him. As addiction and old hedonism creep back into his life, a string of unnerving events suggests that something far older and hungrier than memory has been waiting in this place. What begins as a story of family dysfunction and self-destruction slides steadily into supernatural dread, until Silas is drawn back into a dark inheritance that refuses to let him go.\n\nWinner of the Aurealis Award for Best Horror Novel, S.E.

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.

As the seasons pass, the manuscript becomes the only thing keeping Paul alive.\n\nMisery is Stephen King's tautest thriller: a claustrophobic two-hander about obsession, captivity, and the strange power of storytelling, told almost entirely within the walls of a single house.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz68gqjsez8qghxm4h5s34r.jpg","L37LQAIo00RkD4s,MwxuOto#.9Rj",2002,366,[336],{"id":337,"slug":338,"name":339},"01kjq7cgwx9qy9qa01epjzwzdx","stephen-king-qalr","Stephen King",[341,342,343,344,345],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":129,"name":130,"slug":131,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":63,"complexity":7,"audience":65,"mood":348,"themes":349,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[67,68],[],{"id":351,"slug":352,"title":353,"description":354,"primary_cover_url":355,"cover_blurhash":356,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":357,"authors":358,"genres":363,"series":371,"enrichment":372},"01kr9j160ygtr7jnfa90vf2h86","universal-harvester-tdf7","Universal harvester","\"The second novel from the author of Wolf in White Van, inspired by his years living in a small town in Iowa\"-- Jeremy works at the Video Hut in Nevada, Iowa. It’s a small town in the center of the state―the first a in Nevada pronounced ay. This is the late 1990s, and even if the Hollywood Video in Ames poses an existential threat to Video Hut, there are still regular customers, a rush in the late afternoon. It’s good enough for Jeremy: it’s a job, quiet and predictable, and it gets him out of the house, where he lives with his dad and where they both try to avoid missing Mom, who died six years ago in a car wreck. But when a local schoolteacher comes in to return her copy of Targets―an old movie, starring Boris Karloff, one Jeremy himself had ordered for the store―she has an odd complaint: “There’s something on it,” she says, but doesn’t elaborate. Two days later, a different customer returns a different tape, a new release, and says it’s not defective, exactly, but altered: “There’s another movie on this tape.” Jeremy doesn’t want to be curious, but he brings the movies home to take a look. And, indeed, in the middle of each movie, the screen blinks dark for a moment and the movie is replaced by a few minutes of jagged, poorly lit home video. The scenes are odd and sometimes violent, dark, and deeply disquieting. There are no identifiable faces, no dialogue or explanation―the first video has just the faint sound of someone breathing― but there are some recognizable landmarks. These have been shot just outside of town. In Universal Harvester, the once placid Iowa fields and farmhouses now sinister and imbued with loss and instability and profound foreboding. The novel will take Jeremy and those around him deeper into this landscape than they have ever expected to go. They will become part of a story that unfolds years into the past and years into the future, part of an impossible search for something someone once lost that they would do anything to regain.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kr9j1643cfcfmh9140beqtg2.jpg","LhC?p4R*nmS2?dR*n,SLXUjFS1j@",224,[359],{"id":360,"slug":361,"name":362},"01kpg8gz11rdccsesdfycmatya","john-darnielle-v0su","John Darnielle",[364,365,366,369,370],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":60,"name":367,"slug":368,"is_fiction":19},"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":63,"complexity":7,"audience":65,"mood":373,"themes":374,"setting_period":7,"summary":376,"content_warnings":7},[67,69,68,104],[169,375],"quest","Jeremy's quiet life working at a video store in late 1990s Iowa is disrupted when customers return tapes containing disturbing, unidentifiable home videos.

Millie’s employer, Nina Winchester, is erratic and increasingly cruel, leaving impossible demands and cleaning up messes that make no sense, while Nina’s charming husband, Andrew, treats Millie with a warmth that feels like a lifeline.

Police summon Langdon as an expert, but he quickly realizes he is himself a suspect. With the help of cryptologist Sophie Neveu—the dead man's estranged granddaughter—he flees into the Paris night, following a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.\n\nWhat begins as a murder investigation opens onto a far older secret. The pair chase a chain of riddles that leads through art, history, and the coded traditions of a shadowy brotherhood, pursued both by the French police and by a devout, self-punishing assassin acting on orders he believes are holy. As the clues accumulate, Langdon and Sophie edge toward a revelation that a powerful institution has spent two thousand years trying to bury—one that could reshape how millions understand faith and history.\n\nA breathless overnight chase across Paris and London, The Da Vinci Code weaves cryptography, symbology, and religious history into a puzzle-driven thriller.

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",2026,"4.29",400,[887],{"id":888,"slug":889,"name":890},"01kpae2pevm0pxeghtgq1r7715","caro-claire-burke-o2yn","Caro Claire Burke",[892,893,897,898,899,900],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":894,"name":895,"slug":896,"is_fiction":19},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":19},{"id":454,"name":455,"slug":456,"is_fiction":19},{"id":60,"name":367,"slug":368,"is_fiction":19},{"id":531,"name":532,"slug":533,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":63,"complexity":7,"audience":65,"mood":903,"themes":904,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[68,460],[139],[]]
