When an unknown someone shoots him and leaves him to die, Harry Dresden hopes he might be heading to a better place. Unfortunately being dead doesn't make Harry's life any easier.

Step right up to a world of illusion.   Carniepunk is the first anthology to channel the energy and attitude of urban fantasy into the bizarre world of creaking machinery, twisted myths, and vivid new magic.  A star-studded urban fantasy anthology collection of stories that explore the creepy, mysterious, and, yes, sometimes magical world of traveling carnivals.  From vampires and creepy clowns to mermaids, Druids, and wisecracking Irish wolfhounds, you'll find out that carnivals aren't the healthiest types of places to hang out at.  The traveling carnival is a leftover of a bygone era, a curiosity lurking on the outskirts of town.  It is a place of contradictions, as the bright lights mask the peeling paint; a carnie in greasy overalls slinks away from the direction of the Barker's seductive call.  It is a place of illusion...is that woman's beard real? How can she live locked in that watery box?  And while many are tricked by sleight of hand, there are hints of something truly magical going on.  One must remain alert and learn quickly the unwritten rules of this dark show.  To beat the carnival, one had better have either a whole lot of luck or a whole lot of guns or maybe some magic of one's own. Contents: Painted Love / short story by Rob Thurman: an eerie, unpredictable twist reveals the fate of a psychopath stalking two young carnies. The Three Lives of Lydia [Blud] / short story by Delilah S. Dawson:The question isn't whether Charlie Dregs has met Lydia, a Sang riff on Lydia the Tattooed Lady, but rather whether the woman has even met herself.  Enter the mysterious steampunk world of Sang, and prepare to be amazed. The Demon Barker of Wheat Street [The Iron Druid Chronicles • 4.6] / novelette by Kevin Hearne: Iron Druid and his wisecracking Irish wolfhound discover that the impossibly wholesome sounding Kansas Wheat Festival is actually not a healthy place to hang out. The Sweeter the Juice / short story by Mark Henry: When the zombie apocalypse overtakes New York City, a trip to Coney Island is the most frightening thing of all.  A gruesome tale of transformation, Ferris wheels, and transsexuals. The Werewife / short story by Jaye Wells: One week after she is bitten by the dog-faced boy at a traveling carnival, a mild-mannered housewife gets a sudden, unrelenting craving for raw meat.  She doesn’t remember eating the cat or running naked through the park under the full moon, but her husband’s getting strange calls from concerned neighbors.  When he takes her back to the carnival a year later, looking for a cure, it’ll either get better…or a whole lot worse. The Cold Girl / short story by Rachel Caine: vampires aren’t child’s play, as a naïve teen discovers when her heart leads her far, far astray. A Duet with Darkness [Abby Sinclair] / short story by Allison Pang: Having just quit Julliard, disillusioned fiddler Melanie St. James finds herself as part of a group of traveling musicians en route to an OtherFolk carnival.  Eager to break the chains of a lifetime of conformity, Melanie throws caution to the wind and enters a reckless bargain, plying her musical skills for the chance to win a violin that can open Doors to the CrossRoads. Recession of the Divine / short story by Hillary Jacques: a mesmerizing tale of investigation and gods.  Olivia Locke, formerly the Greek titan Mnemosyne, has built a nice little life for herself.  She's bound her ancient powers, has a steady job performing inspections for an insurance company, and even goes to the dentist.  But when Olivia is sent to a traveling carnival, she discovers that the claims she's reviewing aren't accidents at all but rather symptoms of a depraved bargain struck to keep the operation afloat.  And, at the heart of the carnival is a force intent on capturing her very soul.  If there's one thing that will make a retired goddess fight back, it's the threat of imprisonment.  Been there.  Got the metaphorical T-shirt.  Not going back. Parlor Tricks [Elemental Assassin • 8.25] (2013) / novella by Jennifer Estep: pits Gin Blanco, the Elemental Assassin, against the Wheel of Death and some dangerously creepy clowns. Freak House [Strays] / short story by Kelly Meding: Sheltered and raised by her gypsy mother, Shiloh Harrison has never explored the djinn heritage of her absentee father, until she learns he’s been captured by a man whose underground paranormal freak show is the latest rage among the rich and elite. The Inside Man [Jane True] / short fiction by Nicole Peeler: The ladies of Triptych, Capitola, Shar, and Moo, are hardly impressed when a scared halfling approaches them with tales of his tiny Illinois hamlet having gone “ultra boring” after a visit from a traveling circus.  But when more stories begin circulating of towns gone “walking dead” they decide to investigate.  What they discover is a ringmaster bent on entertaining you…for the price of your soul. A Chance in Hell [Hell on Earth] / short story by Jackie Kessler: The former succubus Jezebel has to prepare herself to battle the King of Hell…tomorrow.  Tonight, she’s taking a break.  With her friend Ceci Baker (a.k.a the one-time stripper Candy), she visits a traveling carnival on the outskirts of a small town in upstate New York, only to discover that the barker is a demon of Greed, and getting marked means way more than playing a rigged game.  That’s okay; Jezebel’s been known to gamble before, and there’s nothing like blood, sweat, and leers to bring out the demon in her. Hell's Menagerie [Charlie Madigan] / novella by Kelly Gay: : Imagine Charlie coming home to learn Rex had alowed Emma to traipse into hell, hell, to recover a bunch of kidnapped hellhound pups. Daughter of the Midway, the Mermaid, and the Open, Lonely Sea / short story by Seanan McGuire: a poignant, ethereal tale of a mysterious carnival that returns to a dangerous town after twenty years.

New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison returns to the sexy, supernatural adventures of Rachel Morgan with the eleventh book in the Hollows series Ever After The ever-after, the demonic realm that parallels our own, is shrinking, and if it disappears, so does all magic. It's up to witch-turned-daywalking-demon Rachel Morgan to fix the ever-after before the fragile balance between magic users and humans falls apart. Of course, there's also the small fact that Rachel is the one who caused the ley line to rip in the first place, and her life is forfeit unless she can fix it. Not to mention the most powerful demon in the ever-after -- the soul-eater Ku'Sox Sha-Ku'ru -- has vowed to destroy her, and has kidnapped her friend and her goddaughter as leverage. If Rachel doesn't give herself up, they will die.

Rachel Morgan must go on a deadly journey, into the past.  What’s a witch to do when the coven of moral and ethical standards demands she untwist a curse, but an essential spell component no longer exists?   There’s only one choice: go back in time.  Caught between self-exile and an Alcatraz cell, Rachel must find an Atlantean mirror to reverse the curse and prove to Cincinnati’s brand-new witch coven that, no, she does not practice illicit magic.  Unfortunately, the only mirror of its kind in existence belonged to the insane demon Newt, forcing Rachel to go to the past to bargain with her for it. But the time-travel spell goes awry, dragging Elyse, the young leader of the coven, into the past with Rachel.  They expect to land five years in the past but instead arrive two days before Rachel’s long-lost love, Kisten, dies.  Heartbroken and torn, Rachel knows she can't change the past.  Even with no allies, Rachel still has one thing going for her: Cincinnati is her city, now and forever.  If she can find a way to work with Newt and prevent Elyse from becoming the demon’s next familiar, they might all get home.

The new master vampire of Cincinnati has arrived ... and she wants Rachel Morgan out. No matter where Rachel goes, Constance is there--threatening Rachel's allies, causing city-wide chaos, and, to add insult to injury, even forcing Rachel out of her current quarters. Ever since Rachel found a way to save the souls of vampires, the old undead's longtime ascendancy has been broken. Now Constance sees eliminating Rachel as the key to consolidating her own power. Rachel has no desire to be enthralled or killed--and she's terrified of what may become of the city if Constance forces a return to the ancient ways. But even a witch-born demon can't stand against the old undead--at least, not alone. And if Rachel refuses to claim the role of Cincinnati's master demon, the city will tear itself apart, taking her and all those who stand beside her with it.

Rory Morris isn’t thrilled to be moving back to her hometown, even if it is temporary. There are bad memories there. But her twin sister, Scarlett, is pregnant, estranged from the baby’s father, and needs support, so Rory returns to the place she thought she’d put in her rearview. After a night out at a bar where she runs into Ian, an old almost-flame, she hits a large animal with her car. And when she gets out to investigate, she’s attacked.   Rory survives, miraculously, but life begins to look and feel different. She’s unnaturally strong, with an aversion to silver -- and suddenly the moon has her in its thrall. She’s changing into someone else -- something else, maybe even a monster. But does that mean she’s putting those close to her in danger? Or is embracing the wildness inside of her the key to acceptance?   This darkly comedic love story is a brilliantly layered portrait of trauma, rage, and vulnerability.

Rachel Morgan must keep her friends close—and her enemies closer... Rachel Morgan, witch-born demon, has one unspoken rule: take chances, but pay for them yourself. With it, she has turned enemies into allies, found her place with her demon kin, and stepped up as the subrosa of Cincinnati—responsible for keeping the paranormal community at peace and in line. Life is...good? Even better, her best friend, Ivy Tamwood, is returning home. Nothing’s simple, though, and Ivy’s not coming alone. The vampires’ ruling council insists she escort one of the long undead, hell-bent on proving that Rachel killed Cincy’s master vampire to take over the city. Which, of course, Rachel totally did not do. She only transformed her a little. With Rachel’s friends distracted by their own lives and problems, she reaches out to a new ally for help—the demon Hodin. But this trickster has his own agenda. In the end, the only way for Rachel to save herself and the city may be to forge a new understanding with her estranged demon teacher, Al. There’s just one problem: Al would sell his own soul to be rid of her....

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison returns to her beloved Hollows series with The Turn, the official prequel to the series that will introduce fans and readers to a whole new side of Rachel Morgan's world as they've never seen it before! Can science save us when all else fails? Trisk and her hated rival, Kalamack, have the same goal: save their species from extinction. Death comes in the guise of hope when a genetically modified tomato created to feed the world combines with the government's new tactical virus, giving it an unexpected host and a mode of transport. Plague takes the world, giving the paranormal species an uncomfortable choice to stay hidden and allow humanity to die, or to show themselves in a bid to save them. Under accusations of scientific misconduct, Trisk and Kal flee across a plague torn United States to convince leaders of the major paranormal species to save their supposedly weaker kin, but not everyone thinks humanity should be saved. Kal surreptitiously works against her as Trisk fights the prejudices of two societies to prove that not only does humanity have something to offer, but that long-accepted beliefs against women, dark magic, and humanity itself can turn to understanding; that when people are at their worst that the best show their true strength, and that love can hold the world together as a new balance is found.

The Vampire Chronicles continue with a riveting, rich saga--part adventure, part fairy-tale--of Prince Lestat and the story of the Blood Communion as he tells the tale of his coming to rule the vampire world and the eternal struggle to find belonging, a place in the universe for the undead, and how, against his will, he must battle the menacing, seemingly unstoppable force determined to thwart his vision and destroy the entire vampire netherworld. In this spellbinding novel, Lestat, rebel outlaw, addresses the tribe of vampires, directly, intimately, passionately, and tells the riveting story of the formation of the Blood Communion and how he became Prince of the vampire world, the true ruler of this vast force, and how his vision for all the Children of the Universe to thrive as one, came to be. The tale spills from Lestat's heart, as he speaks first of his new existence as reigning monarch--and then of his fierce battle of wits and words with the mysterious Rhoshamandes, proud Child of the Millennia, reviled outcast for his senseless slaughter of the legendary ancient vampire Maharet, forever wise and loving and twin to Mekare the Keeper of the Sacred Core; Rhoshamandes, a force who refuses to live in harmony at the Court of Prince Lestat and threatens all that Lestat has dreamt of. As the tale unfolds, Lestat takes us from the towers and battlements of his ancestral castle in the snow-covered mountains of France to the verdant wilds of lush Louisiana with its lingering fragrances of magnolias and night jasmine; from the far reaches of the Pacific's untouched islands to the 18th-century city of St. Petersburg and the court of the Empress Catherine . . .

From Anne Rice, conjurer of the beloved best sellers Interview with the Vampire and Prince Lestat, an ambitious and exhilarating new novel of utopian vision and power   "In my dreams, I saw a city fall into the sea. I heard the cries of thousands. I saw flames that outshone the lamps of heaven. And all the world was shaken . . ." --Anne Rice, Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis   At the novel's center: the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt, hero, leader, inspirer, irresistible force, irrepressible spirit, battling (and ultimately reconciling with) a strange otherworldly form that has somehow taken possession of Lestat's undead body and soul. This ancient and mysterious power and unearthly spirit of vampire lore has all the force, history, and insidious reach of the unknowable Universe. It is through this spirit, previously considered benign for thousands of vampire years and throughout the Vampire Chronicles, that we come to be told the hypnotic tale of a great sea power of ancient times; a mysterious heaven on earth situated on a boundless continent--and of how and why, and in what manner and with what far-reaching purpose, this force came to build and rule the great legendary empire of centuries ago that thrived in the Atlantic Ocean. And as we learn of the mighty, far-reaching powers and perfections of this lost kingdom of Atalantaya, the lost realms of Atlantis, we come to understand its secrets, and how and why the vampire Lestat, indeed all the vampires, must reckon so many millennia later with the terrifying force of this ageless, all-powerful Atalantaya spirit.

Bridesmaids meets Buffy with a dash of the seven deadly sins.  The age-old story of what happens when a foul-mouthed, romance impaired heroine with no edit button and a predilection for hot sex is faced with her worst nightmare-a purpose. Ari Katz is intelligent, driven, and will make an excellent demon hunter once initiated into the Brotherhood of David. However, this book is about his twin Nava: a smart-ass, self-cultivated hot mess, who is thrilled her brother is stuck with all the chosen one crap. When Nava half-drunkenly interrupts Ari's induction ceremony, she expects to be chastised. What she doesn't expect is to take her brother's place among the-until now-all-male demon hunters. Even worse? Her infuriating leader is former rock star Rohan Mitra. Too bad Rohan's exactly what Nava's always wanted: the perfect bad boy fling with no strings attached, because he may also be the one to bring down her carefully erected emotional shields. That's as dangerous as all the evil fiends vying for the bragging rights of killing the only female ever chosen for Demon Club. Odds of survival: eh. Odds of having a very good time with Rohan before she bites it: much better. Perfect for fans of Darynda Jones, Chloe Neill, and Ilona Andrews.
