From the Stacks
Featuring a different, randomly-selected book every week.
Horror
Snow Dragon | John Coon | Horror (NA) (C) ($)
An ancient mythical monster has awakened beneath Deer Falls following a major earthquake, and humans are on the menu. Can the Duggan family destroy this vicious and lethal predator before it drives their sleepy Colorado town to extinction? Snow Dragon is a monster horror story and a prequel to Pandora Reborn.
Literary
When the Place Is a Map, and the Map Is a Maze | Zoe Carada | Magic Realism (NT) (C) (F)
This is the story of a journalist who travels to an Eastern European country for a TV doc but goes down a rabbit hole and lands in his past. Or was the obscure country a place of his mind, too? The 3-part novelette builds on the theme of the invisible hero, which is here a forgotten memory, a buried sense of identity. The geographical places, Bucharest and Berlin, become places of the mind and, although the saying goes, “the map is not the place”, in this story, the place actually becomes a map. Read to find out where the map is guiding the protagonist.
Thriller & Mystery
Bear & Cub | Brothers Krynn | Sword & Sorcery, Fantasy (N) (I) (F) → ($)

Two murders and all changes in Valhol. It takes the murder of his children for Hroðgar to turn on his liege-lord and to see him and the man’s sons for what they are. What ensues is a blood-feud that will take Hroðgar and his last remaining son, Sigewulf, from the frozen wasteland of Valhol, to Bretwealda in the west, and from safety into blood-soaked fields.
