“An enigmatic woman comes between a toxicologist and a murderer in this hypnotic and disturbing thriller” set in the shadowy fog of San Francisco (Guardian, UK). Caleb Maddox is a San Francisco toxicologist studying the chemical effects of pain. He’s out drinking after a bad breakup when a hauntingly seductive woman sits down beside him. He talks to Emmeline over absinthe, but their encounter is fleeting. She brushes her lips on his ear and disappears. He must find her. As Caleb scours the city, he begins helping the city’s medical examiner with a serial-murder investigation. Soon the search for the killer entwines with Caleb’s hunt for Emmeline, and the closer he gets to each, the more dangerous his world becomes. “A wicked mix of Poe, The Silence of the Lambs, and Vertigo,”* The Poison Artist spins a thrilling tale of obsession, damage, a man unmoored by an unspeakable past, and a woman who offers the ultimate escape (New York Times–bestselling author William Landay).“An electrifying read . . . I haven’t read anything so terrifying since Red Dragon.” —Stephen King“Magnificent, thoroughly unnerving . . . I dare you to look away.” —Justin Cronin

';The book's tone is Chandleresque, the conspiracy worrying Carver and Jenner expands to Pynchonian proportions, and the physical ick they encounter might have oozed out of a Cronenberg movie.'Washington Post ';It's Miami Vice meets The Matrix, and George Orwell is hosting the party.'Pittsburgh Post-Gazette It's late Thursday and Inspector Ross Carver is at a crime scene: a dead man covered in an unknown substance that's eating through his skin. Suddenly, six FBI agents burst in and haul Carver outside and into a disinfectant trailer, where he's shocked unconscious. On Sunday he wakes up in his own bed, his neighbor Miawho he's barely spoken toby his side. He can't remember the past three days. Mia says police officers brought him home and told her he'd been poisoned. Carver can't disprove her, but his gut says to keep her close. A mind-bending, masterfully plotted thriller';like Blade Runner if it were written by Charles de Lint or Neil Gaiman'*The Night Market follows Carver as he works to find out what happened to him, soon realizing he's entangled in a massive web of conspiracy. And that Mia knows a lot more than she lets on.

In a riveting tale of suspense and terror on the high seas, Bram Stoker Award nominee Jonathan Moore pits human beings against nature—and something far deadlier: one another.   Kelly Pratihari-Reid and her husband sail their yacht into Antarctic waters, thinking their gravest concerns will be ice and storms—and their cracked marriage. A British girl shrieking across a short-range VHF frequency ends that illusion. It’s coming, she screams. It saw us and it’s coming back! Her voice is drowned by a tide of signal-jamming static, and Kelly sees a target on the radar screen: A ship is coming for them.   Thus begins an unforgettable cat-and-mouse game across stormy polar seas and dire landfalls. Kelly’s pursuers will test her to the limits of her endurance—and beyond. For the ship in her wake is crewed by pirates, with a young leader trained to use the most sadistic tortures in pursuit of his ultimate objective . . . a goal as shocking as it is horrific.Praise for Close Reach  “This is the kind of horror that will make your heart race.”—Examiner.com   “Mind-blowing . . . I started reading it and didn’t stop till I finished.”—Cabin Goddess   “A visceral edge-of-the-seat roller coaster ride.”—The Novel Pursuit   “A book that will appeal to sailing enthusiasts, horror enthusiasts or both!”—To Read or Not to Read Is Not a Question   “Pure adrenaline . . . definitely recommended for fans of dark thrillers.”—Pamelibrarian“Set on the icy polar seas, bristling with suspense, Jonathan Moore’s Close Reach is as horrifying and claustrophobic as any haunted house story. The plot pitches and yaws with twist after twist, and by midpoint the reader is a goner. Leave the lights on, lock the doors, feed the cats, this is an irresistible page-turner of the first order. Highly recommended!”—Jay Bonansinga, New York Times bestselling co-author of The Walking Dead: Fall of the Governor, Part Two and author of The Sinking of the Eastland“Readers will need their sea legs for this hugely enjoyable, roller-coaster voyage of a novel. Close Reach is a brutal tale of redemption and revenge with a heroine to root for at every shocking twist and turn. Jonathan Moore’s writing is as rich as it is raw and thrilling—and storms along at a breakneck pace that will leave you gasping for air.”—Frazer Lee, Bram Stoker Award–nominated author of The Lamplighters, Panic Button, and The Jack in the Green

Known as one of the most influential filmmakers of all time, Alfred Hitchcock’s unique vision in movies like Psycho and The Birds sent shivers down our spines and shockwaves through the film industry. His innovative camera techniques have been studied for decades and his gift for storytelling cemented his place in history. Many directors make great movies, but the genius of Hitchcock helped make movies great. Learn how a chubby boy from London became the “Master of Suspense.”From the Trade Paperback edition.

Best known for his epic Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien was born in British-occupied South Africa. His early life was full of action and adventure.

He was naturally gifted with languages and used this skill as a signals officer in World War I as well as in his fantasy writing. By creating alternate universes and inventing languages in his work he demonstrated that imaginary realms were not just for children. Fondly remembered as the “Father of High Fantasy,” Tolkien’s books have inspired blockbuster movies and legions of fans.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Since Somalia, the international community has found itself changing its view of humanitarian intervention. Operations designed to alleviate suffering and achieve peace sometimes produce damaging results. The United Nations, nongovernmental organizations, military and civilian agencies alike find themselves in the midst of confusion and weakness where what they seek are clarity and stability. Competing needs, rights, and values can obscure even the best international efforts to quell violence and assuage crises of poverty. More attention must be paid to the complexity of issues and moral dilemmas involved.This volume of original essays by international policy leaders, practitioners, and scholars brings together insights into the conflicting moral pressures present in different kinds of interventions ranging from Rwanda and Somalia to Haiti, Cambodia, and Bosnia. From their various cultural and professional perspectives the authors cover issues of human rights, sanctions, arms trade, refugees, HIV, and the media. Together they make the case that, although there are no easy answers, moral reflection and content can improve the quality of decisionmaking and intervention in internal conflicts.Published under the auspices of The International Committee of the Red Cross.

The "I Am Well" series attempts to explain the architecture of all that is created, and reaches toward the wisdom that may be found to understand, apply, and leverage the interactions and interdependencies between those creations. God Almighty (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) have always existed. Everything other than the one true God (the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) was created by Him and for Him. Framework and rules exist within His creation. An accurate understanding of this framework empowers those created in His image (us) with the power to make choices that are consistent with order and blessing, and reinforces the reality and weight of the consequences that come from making choices that go against the design of the architecture, creating chaos and death. We are able to break creation up into several different categories in order to begin to understand them better. These are the wellness components. The 7 components of wellness are: Physical, Spiritual, Intellectual, Emotional, Occupational, Social, & Environmental. The degree to which one commands a thorough understanding of each wellness component directly relates to the success one is able to achieve in creating a healthy, impactful, balanced life, and is a strong indicator of whether or not one will hear, "Well done good and faithful servant" or "Depart from me, I never knew you". Most of the voices attempting to dominate the wellness conversation today do so from a New Age religion perspective. Jonathan communicates powerfully the truth that Jesus Christ is the only real way to authentically "fill your spiritual cup". Everything else is a counterfeit, a deception, and a lie that will not only leave you feeling empty, but will damn your soul to the lake of fire for all of eternity. Part One of this "I Am Well" series makes a valiant effort to answer the question, "What is Wellness?" while attempting to unlock the power of free will and language, and exposing the great enemy who will try to sabotage your wellness efforts.

Once the perpetuation of life is stable, how do I increase my physical fitness/ ability to perform? What is utility? Am I able to increase my utility to become more useful? What really makes us sick? How do we heal? Is it ok to take medicine? How should I eat, as a Christian? How much of this is pre-determined by my DNA? How much should I be willing to merge with and depend on technology? Does God really care what I do with my body? How do I honor His holy temple? Should Christians care about their physical bodies, and/ or this physical world? How do I master my body to bring my flesh into submission? What are the unique physical challenges that I will face in the coming end of days? Is it ok for Christians to fight back physically?

We will also prepare for all of the other individual missions He assigns to us in life. Here we will discover the depth of meaning contained in the declaration,"I Am Physical."
