Spectators
"It's an eye-popping show." --Publishers Weekly "A visually ambitious, thematically daring, and powerfully unsettling supernatural romance that veers into incendiary social critique." --Library Journal A gripping and provocative graphic novel that takes a hard look at sex and violence, and the very different ways we obsessively watch both. Hundreds of years in the future, New York City is haunted by many ghosts, including a voyeuristic woman who died in our present day and a mysterious gun-toting man from the distant past. Normally solo travelers, these two specters meet and travel around the world together, bearing witness to society's forward march toward decay. Readers won't be able to look away as they watch with dark fascination how SPECTATORS explores the fine line between living and watching others live. Explicitly sexy and shockingly violent, this lavishly hand-painted epic is a thought-provoking, metaphysical masterpiece and the most ambitious collaboration yet between Pride of Baghdad artist Niko Henrichon and Saga writer Brian K. Vaughan.

What We Can Know
From the Booker prize-winning, bestselling author of Atonement and Saturday, a genre-bending new novel full of secrets and surprises; an immersive exploration, across time and history, of what can ever be truly known. 2014: At a dinner for close friends and colleagues, renowned poet Francis Blundy honors his wife's birthday by reading aloud a new poem dedicated to her, 'A Corona for Vivien'. Much wine is drunk as the guests listen, and a delicious meal consumed. Little does anyone gathered around the candlelit table know that for generations to come people will speculate about the message of this poem, a copy of which has never been found, and which remains an enduring mystery. 2119: Just over one hundred years in the future, much of the western world has been submerged by rising seas following a catastrophic nuclear accident. Those who survive are haunted by the richness of the world that has been lost. In the water-logged south of what used to be England, Thomas Metcalfe, a lonely scholar and researcher, longs for the early twenty-first century as he chases the ghost of one poem, 'A Corona for Vivian'. How wild and full of risk their lives were, thinks Thomas, as he pores over the archives of that distant era, captivated by the freedoms and possibilities of human life at its zenith. When he stumbles across a clue that may lead to the elusive poem's discovery, a story is revealed of entangled loves and a brutal crime that destroy his assumptions about people he thought he knew intimately well. What We Can Know is a masterpiece, a fictional tour de force, a love story about both people and the words they leave behind, a literary detective story which reclaims the present from our sense of looming catastrophe and imagines a future world where all is not quite lost.

Don't miss out on the stunning DELUXE LIMITED EDITION while supplies last. This breathtaking collectible is only available on a limited first print run in the US and Canada only, a must-have for any book lover. Every barmaid dreams of a prince. Aren just didn't expect hers to be cursed, arrogant, and bleeding magical ruin all over her tavern floor. Aren Bellamore has no use for fairy tales--especially the kind that come stomping through her door with royal blood and a death sentence. She's spent her life slinging ale, fending off drunks, and dreaming of escape. Not romance. Not crowns. Just more. Prince Dietan is everything she never wanted: brooding, entitled, and bound to the Rings of Fate--ancient magical relics that were never meant to touch human flesh. Now they're killing him. Slowly. Spectacularly. And when Aren accidentally triggers one, she gets tied to the curse, too. If he dies, so does the kingdom. If she walks away, she'll take the magic--and half the realm--down with her. Their only hope? Each other. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Aren and Dietan must unravel a mystery buried in legend, outwit a power-hungry usurper, and survive magic that's turning against them both. And somewhere between dodging assassins and sharing too many fireside glances, Aren starts to wonder if her "more" might include the one thing she swore she didn't want... A prince. A curse. And a fate far more dangerous than falling in love.
