Maxwell's Demon
After the resounding success of The Raw Shark Texts , Steven Hall’s fans have been waiting excitedly for his sophomore novel, and Hall has outdone himself in Maxwell’s Demon . At once brilliantly twisty and literary as well as fast-paced and accessible, this is a novel that should widen his audience. The Raw Shark Texts sold in over 30 territories and was received with rapturous reviews comparing him to writers ranging from Samuel Beckett to Michael Crichton. We sold over 60,000 copies of The Raw Shark Texts in America, and it continues to backlist. We think that we can captivate readers equally with Maxwell’s Demon . Maxwell’s Demon will be published by Canongate in the UK on February 4, 2021, and we are following alongside HarperCollins Canada. We will have the advantage of significant UK review and feature attention as we publish. Steven Hall has been widely acclaimed as a major new voice since the publication of The Raw Shark Texts . He was named one of Granta ’s Best of Young British Novelists in 2013, alongside Zadie Smith, Helen Oyeyemi, and Taiye Selasi and was the winner of the Borders Original Voices Fiction Award. An unforgettable entry into the genre of literary novels centered around books as popularized by The Shadow of the Wind , Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore , The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry , and The Eyre Affair , Maxwell’s Demon is smarter and sharper than almost any comparable title. The bookish subject matter is sure to appeal to booksellers and all lovers of literature, including fans of Paul Murray and Kevin Wilson. It is the product of a freewheeling mind that engages the reader with truly phenomenal rewards.
Девушка А
Невероятно сильная история о спасении, кошмарах и любви. Александра Грейси никогда бы не вспоминала ни о своей семье, ни о детстве, проведенном в Доме Кошмаров, ни о том, как все газеты Великобритании называли ее девочкой А – девочкой, которая сбежала… Но после смерти матери она больше не может прятаться от чудовищного прошлого. Дом, оставленный в наследство всем детям Грейси, Лекс намеревается использовать во благо. Однако, прежде чем вернуться в него, ей предстоит примириться с братьями и сестрами и со своим детством, полным жестокости и мучений. © First published by HarperCollinsPublishers 2021 Copyright © Abigail Dean 2021 Abigail Dean asserts the moral right to be identified as the author of this work All rights reserved В оформлении издания использованы материалы по лицензии © shutterstock.com Jacket design by Claire Ward © HarperCollinsPublishers Ltd 2021 © & ℗ ООО «Издательство АСТ», «Аудиокнига», 2021
Девушка А
Вы не знаете меня, но мое лицо наверняка вам знакомо. В самом начале на фотографиях нам не просто размывали лица – нас забивали пикселями по пояс, потому что выдать нас могли даже волосы. Но время шло, история сдувалась, наши защитники – тоже, и в темных уголках интернета стало легко отыскать неотредактированные снимки. Самый популярный – тот, где мы сентябрьским вечером стоим на фоне дома на Мур Вудс-роуд.
Exit
From the award-winning author of Snap and Rubbernecker , Exit is the story of Felix Pink, an older man with a group that helps people who have chosen to die with dignity. But there’s been a mistake, and Felix’s life is about to change forever. Belinda Bauer is “Britain’s most original crime writer” ( Crime Scene ), one of the few authors in the genre to be longlisted for the Man Booker prize. Now she returns with a heart-pounding, heartbreaking, and often hilarious new crime novel in which it’s never too late for life to go fatally wrong. Felix Pink is retired. Widowed for more than a decade, a painfully literal thinker, he has led a life of routine and is, not unhappily, waiting to die a hopefully boring death. He occupies himself volunteering as an Exiteer—someone who sits with terminally ill people as they die by suicide, assisting with logistics and lending moral support, then removing the evidence so that family and friends are not implicated in the death. When Felix lets himself in to Number 3 Black Lane, he’s there to perform an act of kindness and charity: to keep a dying man company as he takes his final breath. But just fifteen minutes later Felix is on the run from the police—after making the biggest mistake of his life. Now his routine world is turned upside down as he tries to discover whether what went wrong was a simple mistake—or deliberate. Murder. Belinda Bauer continues to redefine the boundaries of crime fiction, with a novel that is part murder mystery, part coming-of-old-age story—however short that future may be. With the compassion and dark humor of Jonas Jonasson and the twisted thriller plotting of Rear Window , Exit is a novel readers will not soon forget.

Old House of Fear
A founding father of the American conservative movement, Russell Kirk (1918–94) was also a renowned and bestselling writer of fiction. Kirk’s focus was the ghost story, or “ghostly tale” – a “decayed art” of which he considered himself a “last remaining master.” Old House of Fear , Kirk’s first novel, revealed this mastery at work. Its 1961 publication was a sensation, outselling all of Kirk’s other books combined, including The Conservative Mind , his iconic study of American conservative thought. A native of Michigan, Kirk set Old House of Fear in the haunted isles of the Outer Hebrides, drawing on his time in Scotland as the first American to earn a doctorate of letters from the University of St. Andrews. The story concerns Hugh Logan, an attorney sent by an aging American industrialist to Carnglass to purchase his ancestral island and its castle called the Old House of Fear. On the island, Logan meets Mary MacAskival, a red-haired ingénue and love interest, and the two face off against Dr. Edmund Jackman, a mystic who has the island under his own mysterious control. This new edition features an introduction by James Panero, Executive Editor of The New Criterion .
