Exile, or, A Tale of Enchantment in Eight Parts
The people of the Republic of Z-rthe have become used to earthquakes. Less so to sudden and acute morphological transformation. But the newly re-opened Consulate of X-ppe is about to change all of that. The Consulate of X-ppe in the Republic of Z-rthe has always been a morose and gloomy place. Now, however, it is also an unstable place, as its functionaries and its attach矇s, its translators and its hangers-on won't stop mutating. Not enough that the daughter of the Consul General has dwindled to a shriveled, anthropomorphic rock, the size, roughly, of a pint glass. Not enough that a truckload of joyriding Marines, having provoked the ire of a glue-addled little girl, has been transformed into a pod of beached and frantic dolphins. Additionally, a beloved disciple of the Economic Affairs Liaison has developed a skin disease that has left him looking distinctly botanical. Not to mention the tragic and fiery end to the boy who attempted to drive his chauffeur-father's Cadillac. Like Douglas Adams with a mean streak or Robert Graves in a whimsical mood, T. Edward Abbott has reconfigured eight classic myths of exile and transfiguration into a collection of playful stories shot through with disquieting humor and dark anxiety. A feast of magical disorientation, Exile cuts to the heart of what, precisely, is horrible about wishing to become a tree.

His love and admiration for this woman not only changes his life, but the consequences of that love carry through the ages to a contemporary copper-haired American woman. Krista HawthorneMarsh Springs, WVPresent Day After a devastating heartbreak, newspaper reporter Krista Hawthorne transfers from her native Arizona to a small Appalachian town in West Virginia, wanting only to live quietly, avoid romantic entanglements, and learn to trust again. But after several lonely weekends, she caves and accepts a dinner invitation. That night, after her date becomes demanding and belligerent, a bloodcurdling howl echoes through the mountains. Just as the full moon rises over the Lune River, a horrifying beast, wearing an Egyptian ankh medallion similar to the one Krista inherited, crashes through the forest and attacks. Krista escapes, but to her frustration, no one believes her story. Knowing the beast is still out there, she wants to flee the state, but the local sheriff and the DNR demand she stay for the investigation. She lives in terror, yet finds herself drawn to Sheriff Hugh Rawlins. A man of contradictions, he orders a drug test after hearing her description of the beast, then tenderly helps her through her recovery after the attack. He then forever changes both their lives when he helps her discover her true heritage and reveals why that creature let her live. FROM THE PAINTED TOMB blends magical realism, horror, and romance, layering the story of a contemporary woman who's afraid to trust again, and an immortal ancient Egyptian prince whose love for a copper-haired slave leads to deadly consequences that carry through the ages to a thirty-two-year-old copper-haired American woman. LITERARY TITAN'S GOLDEN BOOK AWARD Brenda Hill entices readers with her thrilling fantasy novel from the very start of the book. Such a gripping story I wanted to continue reading through the night but couldn't because it was too eerie. The author's writing is so refined that I was not able to predict how the story would end. Hill's writing flows effortlessly between Krista's ominous adventures while seamlessly blending Egyptian history throughout the alluring narrative. But a good mythical fantasy is only as good as its cast of characters and Brenda Hill has created some compelling if not relatable characters that I didn't even realize I was so invested in until I found myself biting my nails. "Krista's love interest brings a welcome complexity to the story. While her relationship unfolds throughout the story, the focus of the book never moves away from the enigmatic mystery that drives this spellbinding story forward. With relatable characters, an engaging paranormal plot, and a dash of romance, From The Painted Tomb will appeal to readers across genres."

Fantastic Creatures of the Mountains and Seas
The gorgeously illustrated contemporary edition of an ancient Chinese text--for fans of fantastic beasts everywhere Fantastic Creatures of the Mountains and Seas is a new translation for contemporary readers of a classic Chinese text that is at once the geography of an ancient world, a bestiary of mythical creatures, and a book of cultural and medicinal lore. Illustrated throughout with more than 180 two-color drawings that are so sinuous they move on the page, it is a work for lovers of fantasy and mythology, ancient knowledge, fabulous beasts, and inspired art. The beings catalogued within these pages come from the regions of the known world, from the mountains and seas, the Great Wastelands, and the Lands Within the Seas that became China. They include spirits and deities and all sorts of strange creatures--dragons and phoenixes, hybrid beasts, some with human features, some hideous or with a call like wood splitting, or that portend drought or flood or bounty; others whose flesh cures disease or fends off nightmares, or whose pelt guarantees many progeny. Drawn from The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Fantastic Creatures is the work of two members of China's millennial generation, a young scholar and writer once known as the youngest "Genius of Chinese Cultural Studies" and an inspired illustrator trained in China and the United States, who together managed to communicate with the soul of a 4,000-year-old beast and have brought forth its strange beauty. Their work has been rendered into English by the foremost translator of modern Chinese literature in the West.
