Marissa Dahl, a shy but successful film editor, travels to a small island off the coast of Delaware to work with the legendary - and legendarily demanding - director Tony Rees on a feature film with a familiar logline: Some girl dies. It's not much to go on, but the specifics don't concern Marissa. Whatever the script is, her job is the same. She'll spend her days in the editing room, doing what she does best: Turning pictures into stories. But she soon discovers that on this set, nothing is as it's supposed to be - or as it seems.

Frischer Wind in der Welt der Spannungsromane. Janie Jenkins wird im Alter von 16 Jahren für den Mord an ihrer prominenten Mutter für schuldig erklärt. Das Problem: Janie kann sich selbst nicht daran erinnern, was in der Nacht des Mordes geschehen ist. Als sie zehn Jahre später das Gefängnis verlässt, macht sie sich auf die Suche nach der Wahrheit. Eine Spur führt sie in eine verschlafene Provinzstadt in South Dakota, wo sie Stück für Stück die überraschende Vergangenheit ihrer Mutter aufdeckt. Am Ende muss Janie sich entscheiden, ob sie weiter unter falscher Identität vor Presse, Polizei und einem möglichen Mörder fliehen will - oder sich der Wahrheit stellt.

Twenty-six brand-new tales of ghosts, spirits, and the afterlife to chill even the most hardened listener to their very marrow. Grandmasters and newcomers alike serve well to petrify with stories to keep you lying awake in the dead of night - long after the last of the light has died - listening for that telltale scratching at the door, a soft whisper of disembodied voices, and the icy caress of long-dead fingers upon your ankle.

'As soon as they processed my release, Noah and I hit the ground running. A change of clothes. A wig. An inconspicuous sedan. We doubled back once, twice, then drove south when we were really headed east. In San Francisco we had a girl who looked like me board a plane to Hawaii. Oh, I thought I was so clever. But you probably already know that I'm not.' LA "it" girl Janie Jenkins has it all. The looks, the brains, the connections. The criminal record.

Former "It Girl" Janie Jenkins is acerbic, whip smart, and fresh out of prison. Ten years ago, at the height of her glamour and fame, she was incarcerated for the murder of her mother, a philanthropist best known for her string of rich husbands. Now, released on a technicality, Janie chops off her trademark hair, determined to chase down the one lead she has about her mother's killer. The only problem? Janie doesn't know if she's the one she's looking for.

Though we're known as a nation of English speakers, the linguistic map of the United States is hardly monochromatic. While much ado has been made about the role that Spanish may play in our national future, it would be a gross misrepresentation to label America a bilingual country. On the contrary, our languages are as varied as our origins. There is Basque in Nevada, Arabic in Detroit, Gullah in South Carolina. We speak European, Asian, and American Indian languages; we speak creoles, jargons, and pidgins.
