Dive into the misty allure of Echoes, a town where the lines between legend and reality blur as easily as the fog that clings to its shores. "Echoes of the Past," a captivating novella by Philip J Jones, weaves a tale of mystery, young love, and a quest for truth that will keep you turning pages long into the night. Elena Winters thought she'd left her coastal hometown behind, but when personal tragedy calls her back, she's pulled into an investigation as murky as Echoes' ocean tides. As the town prepares for its dazzling annual festival, Elena uncovers a pattern of disappearances that echo through the years, each one whispering of hidden secrets and a dark undercurrent beneath the town's quaint veneer. Enter Nathan Hale—a young detective whose steely gaze and earnest resolve make Elena's heart flutter as much as her reporter's instinct. Together, they delve into Echoes' past, unraveling a tangled history that binds the fate of the town to a secretive society. With the festival drawing near, Elena and Nathan race to piece together clues that are as enigmatic as the shifting sands of Echoes' beaches. But it's not just the mystery Elena has to contend with. Her rekindled friendship with the vibrant and artistic Maggie Reynard brings a splash of color to the gray shades of the investigation. And as Elena gets closer to the truth, she must navigate the complex web of high school friendships, first loves, and a society that has more to hide than anyone knows. Will Elena and Nathan's bond be strong enough to outshine the shadows? Can they expose the truth before the society's grip tightens? "Echoes of the Past" is perfect for young adults who crave a blend of suspense and heartfelt emotion, set against a backdrop of a small town with big secrets. Unlock the mysteries of Echoes and discover a story of resilience, the power of connection, and the courage to face what lies beneath the surface. Your journey to Echoes begins with a single question: Are you ready to listen to what the past has to say?

Book Description

Melissa Albert meets Twin Peaks in this supernatural thriller about one girl's hunt for the truth about her mother's disappearance. In 1973, the thirty-one residents of Bitter Rock disappeared. In 2003, so did my mother. Now, I've come to Bitter Rock to find out what happened to her—and to me. Because Bitter Rock has many ghosts. And I might be one of them. Sophia's earliest memory is of drowning. She remembers the darkness of the water and the briny taste as it filled her throat, the sensation of going under. She remembers hands pulling her back to safety, but that memory is impossible—she's never been to the ocean. But then Sophia gets a mysterious call about an island named Bitter Rock, and learns that she and her mother were there fifteen years ago--and her mother never returned. The hunt for answers lures her to Bitter Rock, but the more she uncovers, the clearer it is that her mother is just one in a chain of disappearances. People have been vanishing from Bitter Rock for decades, leaving only their ghostly echoes behind. Sophia is the only one who can break the cycle—or risk becoming nothing more than another echo haunting the island.

Book Description

Traditional apocalyptic texts concern the advent of a better world at the end of history that will make sense of everything that happened before. But what is at stake in the contemporary shift to apocalyptic narratives in which the utopian end of time is removed? The Contemporary Post-Apocalyptic Novel offers an innovative critical model for our cultural obsession with 'the end' by focussing on the significance of time in the 21st-century post-apocalyptic novel and challenging traditional apocalyptic logic. Once confined to the genre of science fiction, the increasing popularity of end-of-the-world narratives has caused apocalyptic writing to feature in the work of some of contemporary literature's most well-known fiction writers. Considering novels by Will Self, Cormac McCarthy, David Mitchell, Emily St. John Mandel, Jeanette Winterson and others, Diletta De Cristofaro frames the contemporary apocalyptic imagination as a critique of modernity's apocalyptic conception of time and history. Interdisciplinary in scope, the book historicises apocalyptic beliefs by exploring how relentlessly they have shaped the modern world.

The first novel by multiple-award-winning Chilean author Ramón Díaz Eterovic to be translated into English--a landmark event for fans of crime fiction. Private investigator Heredia spends his days reading detective novels; commiserating with his cat, Simenon; and peering out over the Mapocho River from his Santiago apartment. The city he loves may be changing, but Heredia can't stop chasing the ghosts of the past. This time, they've come to him... Virginia Reyes's brother, an ex-political prisoner of dictator Augusto Pinochet, was killed in an apparent robbery. Yet nothing of value was taken. The police have declared the case closed, but Virginia suspects that things aren't quite as they appear and turns to Heredia for help. Heredia couldn't agree more--but he can't shake the feeling that there's something Virginia's not telling him. Heredia knows this is not a simple crime. His investigation proves it. Drawn back into a world where murderers nest, secrets are to kill and die for, and Pinochet's legacy still casts a long, dark, and very threatening shadow, it's all Heredia can do to crawl out of it alive.
