Lydia is hungry. She’s always wanted to try sashimi and ramen, onigiri and udon – the food her Japanese father liked to eat – but the only thing she can digest is blood. Yet Lydia can’t bring herself to prey on humans, and sourcing fresh pigs’ blood in London – where she is living away from her Malaysian-British mother for the first time and trying to build a career as an artist – is much more difficult than she’d anticipated.

If Lydia is to find a way to exist in the world, she must reconcile the conflicts within her – between her demon and human sides, her mixed ethnic heritage and her relationship with food, and, in turn, humans. Before any of this, however, she must eat.

Woman Eating 015637

Maya is still haunted by the cabin – deep in the woods, where the trees are so dense it’s easy to miss.

She hasn’t been there since the summer she was seventeen. Since the day her best friend Aubrey died and Maya’s world shattered.

Maya’s memories of that summer are fragmented, but there is one thing she knows for sure, and that’s who murdered Aubrey. Even if no one believes her.

Now, seven years later, another woman from their hometown has died in the same strange, unexplained way.

Maya knows only she can uncover the truth and save the next innocent girl. But to do that she’ll have to go back – back to the forest, back to the house in the pines . . .

The House in the Pines 717707

Yeong-hye and her husband are ordinary people – dutiful wife and mild-mannered office worker. One day, prompted by grotesque recurring nightmares, Yeong-hye decides to become a vegetarian. But in South Korea, where vegetarianism is almost unheard-of and societal mores are strictly obeyed, it is a shocking act of subversion.

Yeong-hye’s passive rebellion rapidly manifests in ever more bizarre and frightening forms, from sexual sadism to attempted suicide, and in increasingly erotic and unhinged artworks, as all the while she spirals further into her fantasies…

Disturbing and beautiful by turns, The Vegetarian is a revelatory novel about modern day South Korea; a tale of shame, desire and our faltering attempts to understand others.

276033 The Vegetarian: A Novel Paperback – by Han Kang

Writers are monsters. We eat everything we see...

In a windswept cottage overlooking the sea, Wilder Harlow begins the last book he will ever write. It is the story of his childhood companions and the shadowy figure of the Daggerman, who stalked the New England town where they spent their summers. Of a horror that has followed Wilder through the decades. And of Sky, Wilder's one-time friend, who stole his unfinished memoir and turned it into a lurid bestselling novel, The Sound and the Dagger.

This book will be Wilder's revenge on Sky, who betrayed his trust and died without ever telling him why. But as he writes, Wilder begins to find notes written in Sky's signature green ink, and events in his manuscript start to chime eerily with the present. Is Sky haunting him? And who is the dark-haired woman drowning in the cove, whom no one else can see?

No longer able to trust his own eyes, Wilder feels his grip on reality slipping. And he begins to fear that this will not only be his last book, but the last thing he ever does.

When Louise finds out her parents have died, she dreads going home. She doesn’t want to leave her daughter with her ex and fly to Charleston. She doesn’t want to deal with her family home, stuffed to the rafters with the remnants of her father’s academic career and her mother’s lifelong obsession with puppets and dolls.

Most of all, she doesn’t want to deal with her brother, Mark, who never left their hometown, gets fired from one job after another, and resents her success. Unfortunately, she’ll need his help to get the house ready for sale because it’ll take more than some new paint on the walls and clearing out a lifetime of memories to get this place on the market.
 
But some houses don’t want to be sold, and their home has other plans for both of them…

Our problem has never been commitment or negligence, our problem has been and still is extremism in either direction. Staying in the middle is a concept that we have not mastered in dealing with yet. Our extremism in generosity turned into wastefulness and extravagance. slaves to him

And there are those who believe that my ideas pose a great danger to the rising generation, as if this generation was created to climb the ladder of its principles only. Freedom of thought is an integral part of freedom of expression, so this “novel” was included in the science fiction group, as it would gain more acceptance as it was classified as mere nonsense.

Eleven days ago, Agatha Christie disappeared. This disappearance makes us search for answers to several questions: What makes a woman so desperate to destroy another woman's marriage? And what is so terrible that could cause a person to take revenge by killing? What could make a female kill? And what would a person do out of love? What is an unforgivable crime?
