The Martian meets 127 Hours in this “astoundingly great” (Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author) and scientifically accurate thriller about a scuba diver who’s been swallowed by an eighty-foot, sixty-ton sperm whale and has only one hour to escape before his oxygen runs out.

Jay Gardiner has given himself a fool’s errand—to find the remains of his deceased father in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Monastery Beach. He knows it’s a long shot, but Jay feels it’s the only way for him to lift the weight of guilt he has carried since his dad’s death by suicide the previous year.

The dive begins well enough, but the sudden appearance of a giant squid puts Jay in very real jeopardy, made infinitely worse by the arrival of a sperm whale looking to feed. Suddenly, Jay is caught in the squid’s tentacles and drawn into the whale’s mouth where he is pulled into the first of its four stomachs. He quickly realizes he has only one hour before his oxygen tanks run out—one hour to defeat his demons and escape the belly of a whale.

Suspenseful and cinematic, Whalefall is a “powerfully humane” (Owen King, New York Times bestselling author) thriller about a young man who has given up on life … only to find a reason to live in the most dangerous and unlikely of places.

Reviews:
“Spratford, well-known in the library world as a horror expert, has gathered the most important voices in the genre today…The results are illuminating, moving, and inspiring.”
— Booklist, starred review

"A big, squishy blood-soaked love letter to horror that fans of the macabre and the dark should devour."
— Silvia Moreno-Garcia, author of Mexican Gothic

Hendrix’s genius as a horror writer is his ability to develop complex, human-scale emotional arcs . . . Never before has one of his books so aptly met the moment . . . at turns frightening, anxiety-producing, infuriating, beautiful and sad.”—The New York Times

They were never girls, they were witches . . . .

They call them wayward girls. Loose girls. Girls who grew up too fast. And they’re sent to the Wellwood House in St. Augustine, Florida, where unwed mothers are hidden by their families to have their babies in secret, to give them up for adoption, and most important of all, to forget any of it ever happened.

Fifteen-year-old Fern arrives at the home in the sweltering summer of 1970, pregnant, frightened, and alone. Under the watchful eye of the stern Miss Wellwood, she meets a dozen other girls in the same predicament. There’s Rose, a hippie who insists she’s going to find a way to keep her baby and escape to a commune. And Zinnia, a budding musician who plans to marry her baby’s father. And Holly, a wisp of a girl, barely fourteen, mute and pregnant by no-one-knows-who.

Everything the girls eat, every moment of their waking day, and everything they’re allowed to talk about is strictly controlled by the adults who claim they know what’s best for them. Then Fern meets a librarian who gives her an occult book about witchcraft, and power is in the hands of the girls for the first time in their lives. But power can destroy as easily as it creates, and it’s never given freely. There’s always a price to be paid . . . and it’s usually paid in blood.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians comes a gripping high-speed chase novel pitting a runaway teen and her unsuspecting friends against a relentless serial killer on a dangerous road trip where survival is anything but guaranteed.

Sixteen-year-old Harper has decided to run away from home after she has another blow-out argument with her mother.

Her two best friends, little sister, and ex-boyfriend stage an intervention disguised as a road trip to stop her from hitchhiking her way up Route 80 in Wyoming. What they don’t realize is that Harper has been marked by a unique serial killer who’s been trolling the highway for the past three years.

Now the killer is after all of them, and they are thrust into an explosive, pulse-pounding and terrifying race for survival down the interstate. As the body-count rises, Harper will break all the limits to bring the killer down.

Praise for The Babysitter Lives

“I enjoyed The Babysitter Lives very much. It's perfect for audio, as really scary stories always are, and this one is really scary. Perfect for a long car ride . . . especially when you're almost out of gas and you start wondering if maybe someone has gotten into the backseat and will lurch into the rearview mirror.”

—Stephen King

“A mind-bending haunted house tale from the Jordan Peele of horror literature.”

—Dread Central

“It's a story full of so many frightening twists and turns that you'll be checking every nook and cranny of your own house by the end, just to make sure something terrifying isn't about to creep out from the dark.”

—Paste

“Put simply, at this point every new Stephen Graham Jones release is an event.”

—Popverse

“The tale isn't merely told—it is vividly breathed to life, each emotion palpable, each twist tangible . . . A testament to the fact that horror is not just about scares but can be a mirror to society's deepest anxieties and suppressed histories.”

—Nightmare

Praise for The Buffalo Hunter Hunter

“For me and vampires, there is Stoker, there is Rice, and now there is Jones. It's harrowing, agonizing, nuanced, and downright philosophical. Very likely Jones's masterpiece.”

—Daniel Kraus, New York Times bestselling author of Whalefall

“Stephen Graham Jones tears into the flesh of vampire lore, transforming it into something raw and feral. Jones crafts a stark, unnervingly poetic narrative. This is vampire horror reimagined in the sharp glare of a history America cannot escape.”

—Shane Hawk, co-editor of Never Whistle At Night

“Stephen Graham Jones has lit a slow-burning candle that grows into a forest fire, illuminating the life of a Pikuni vampire and everyone he has touched, the pain of being a victim and perpetrator of violent history, and how memory serves to keep us who we are despite it all. The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is beautiful, terrifying, sad, funny, and grotesque — everything I want in a novel.”

—Jessica Johns, author of Bad Cree

“A master at blending horror, suspense, and culturally rich stories that are as thought-provoking as they are spine-tingling. Jones’s singular voice and exploration of identity, of trauma and survival, make every page pulse with kinetic urgency.”

—David Robertson, author of The Theory of Crows

“A riveting story of heartbreak, death, and revenge, this remarkable work of American fiction, a thought-provoking tale filled with existential terror, unease, and a high body count, transforms, in Jones’ deft hands, from the unapologetic horror novel it most certainly is into a critique of the entire idea of the United States—a critique that, despite the horrors, both real and supernatural, is forcefully infused with both heart and hope.”

—Booklist, starred review

“It’s as much an autopsy of institutionalized treachery as a demonization of its tragic and terrifying 'villain.' A weirdly satisfying and bloody reckoning with some of America’s most shameful history.”

—Kirkus, starred review

“A remarkably well-wrought work of historical horror that will captivate Jones’s fans and newcomers alike.”

—Publisher's Weekly, starred review

“While this is a unique vampire story, it is also grief horror, portraying the mourning of a land and a people, inscribing profound sorrow for what was and what can never be again.”

—Library Journal, starred review

“(A) gruesome joyride of a novel.”

—The New York Times

Nobody gets out alive!

The warheads have come down.

The reign of mankind ends when the mushroom clouds appear in the skies and the cities become irradiated tombs, nuclear graveyards that are grim testament of man’s inhumanity to his fellow man.

Now there is only survival.

Terrible, brutal day by day existence in the atomic wastelands, a dark plutonium netherworld of monsters and mutants, madmen and roving gangs. And those awful, malevolent things that are even worse.

The dead are the lucky ones.

Welcome to the day after tomorrow.

Welcome to doomsday.

This beautiful copy is signed by Klein has the original price of $6.50, and is extremely rare even unsigned. There are no signed copies on eBay. This copy is what I would call VG (some light soiling to top and bottom of Text Block, some wear to the boards and softening of the head and heel of the spine. ) the dust jacket is a solid VG and not Priceclipped.

Boldly signed on the front free end paper by Klein.

This is the true 1965 first edition, first printing of SURFING by H. Arthur Klein, published by J. B. Lippincott Company, retaining its original unclipped dust jacket. While later printings from the same publication year are encountered more frequently, authentic first printings are considerably more difficult to locate, particularly in this level of preservation.

Surfing remains one of the classic early works documenting the history, culture, techniques, equipment, personalities, and evolution of surfing during one of the sport’s most influential eras.

Richly illustrated throughout with period surfing photography, instructional diagrams, and historical content, the book captures the spirit and rapid evolution of the sport during the mid-1960s. Covering wave knowledge, surfing techniques, equipment, competition, and the expanding influence of surf culture, it remains an important title within vintage surfing literature and an increasingly desirable addition to serious surfing
