Fiction

The Resurrectionist The Lost Work of Dr. Spencer Black

One-third fiction, two-thirds art book, and one hundred percent bizarre!

By E. B. Hudspeth Philadelphia. The late 1870s. A city of cobblestone sidewalks and horse-drawn carriages. Home to the famous anatomist and surgeon Dr. Spencer Black. The son of a “resurrectionist” (a.k.a. grave robber), Dr. Black studied at Philadelphia’s esteemed Academy of Medicine, where he developed an unconventional hypothesis: What if the world’s most celebrated mythological beasts—mermaids, minotaurs, and satyrs— were in fact the evolutionary ancestors of humankind? The Resurrectionist offers two extraordinary books in one. The first is a fictional biography of Dr. Black, from his humble beginnings to the mysterious disappearance at the end of his life. The second book is Black’s magnum opus: The Codex Extinct Animalia, a Gray’s Anatomy for mythological beasts—dragons, centaurs, Pegasus, Cerberus—all rendered in meticulously detailed black-and-white anatomical illustrations. You need only look at these images to realize they are the work of a madman. The Ressurectionist tells his story. E. B. HUDSPETH is an artist and author living in New Jersey. This is his first book.

Disasterland: The Last Policeman Book II “The Last Policeman is extraordinary— as well as brilliant, surprising, and, considering the circumstances, oddly uplifting.” —Mystery Scene magazine

DisasterlanD : the last POliceMan bOOk ii cover not final

By Ben H. Winters Set three months before a deadly asteroid is due to hit earth, this Last Policeman sequel chronicles the further adventures of detective Hank Palace. The Concord Police Department is now operating under the auspices of the U.S. Justice Department, and Hank is out of a job—until he’s hired by a business tycoon to help find the man’s estranged son. Hank’s search leads him to a chaotic East Coast landscape where anti-immigrant militia patrol the shores, fending off droves of people f leeing the “impact zone” of the asteroid. And it isn’t long before Hank’s missing-person case turns into a murder investigation. But the Last Policeman sequel asks us to consider questions well beyond solving the identity of the killer. What do we as human beings owe to one another? And what does it mean to be civilized when civilization is collapsing all around you? BEN H.

Untitled Miss Peregrine Sequel

Fiction

The Second Novel of Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children

Coming Soon! The MuchAnticipated Sequel to the #1 New York Times Best Seller By Ransom Riggs Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children was the surprise best seller of 2011— an unprecedented mix of YA fantasy and vintage photography that enthralled readers and critics alike.

Having made a daring escape from Miss Peregrine’s island, Jacob and his new friends flee to London, the Peculiar capital of the world. There, they encounter a dangerous madman named Caul, who also happens to be Miss Peregrine’s brother. Complete with dozens of newly discovered (and thoroughly creepy) vintage photographs, this new adventure will delight fantasy readers of all ages. cover not final

Princesses Behaving Badly

History and Politics

Real Stories from History—without the Fairy-Tale Endings

Great for fans of the Secret Lives series! See page 20

cover not final

By Linda Rodriguez McRobbie You think you know her story. You’ve read the Brothers Grimm; you’ve watched the Disney cartoons; you cheered as these virtuous women lived happily ever after. But the lives of real princesses couldn’t be more different. Sure, many were graceful and benevolent leaders--but just as many were ruthless in their quest for power, and all of them had secrets hidden away in their royal closets. Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe was a Nazi spy. Empress Elizabeth of the Austro-Hungarian empire slept wearing a mask of raw veal. Princess Olga of Kiev murdered thousands of men, and Princess Rani Lakshmibai waged war on the battlefield, charging into combat with her toddler son strapped to her back. Princesses Behaving Badly offers minibiographies of all these princesses and dozens more. It’s a fascinating read for history buffs, feminists, and anyone seeking a different kind of bedtime story.

Tales from Lovecraft Middle School A New Juvenile/YA Fantasy Series!

“Fans of [R.L. Stine’s] Goosebumps and other lightly creepy fare will look forward to spending more time with [this] series.” —Publishers Weekly By Charles Gilman Illustrations by Eugene Smith It’s a new school year in a strange new school: Lovecraft Middle School. It’s a brand-new state-of-the-art facility—so why do creepy things keep happening? Why do teachers act so strangely? And where are all the rats coming from? In Professor Gargoyle, 11-year-old Robert and his new friends Glenn and Carina discover that the school library might be a portal to another world, one teeming with monsters, demons, ghosts, and other beasts that go squish in the night.

Kids

In The Slither Sisters, we follow Robert and his friends deeper into the world of Lovecraft Middle School—and its bizarre parallel dimension, where they meet a pair of mysterious twin sisters who may not be what they seem . . . Teacher’s Pest introduces us to student council president Howard Mergler. Don’t be fooled by his polite manners or perfect test scores—he’s really a horrible insectoid monster determined to destroy the school! In our newest book, Substitute Creature, after a giant storm dumps over a meter of snow on the town, Robert and his friends find themselves trapped in Lovecraft Middle School. They have no choice but to spend the night sleeping in classrooms and facing off against a sinister substitute teacher. CHARLES GILMAN is an alias of Jason Rekulak, an editor who

lives in Philadelphia. By day, he is Creative Director at Quirk Books, where he has brainstormed numerous bestsellers including, most famously, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
