Introducing a dazzling new literary voice--a wholly original novel as groundbreaking as the works of Eimear McBride and Max Porter. Something has happened to Peach. Staggering around the town streets in the aftermath of an assault, Peach feels a trickle of blood down her legs, a lingering smell of her anonymous attacker on her skin. It hurts to walk, but she manages to make her way to her home, where she stumbles into another oddly nightmarish reality: Her parents can't seem to comprehend that anything has happened to their daughter. The next morning, Peach tries to return to the routines of her ordinary life, going to classes, spending time with her boyfriend, Green, trying to find comfort in the thought of her upcoming departure for college. And yet, as Peach struggles through the next few days, she is stalked by the memories of her unacknowledged trauma. Sleeping is hard when she is haunted by the glimpses of that stranger's gaping mouth. Working is hard when her assailant's rancid smell still fills her nostrils. Eating is impossible when her stomach is swollen tight as a drum. Though she tries to close her eyes to what has happened, Peach at last begins to understand the drastic, gruesome action she must take. In this astonishing debut, Emma Glass articulates the unspeakable with breathtaking verve. Intensely physical, with rhythmic, visceral prose, Peach marks the arrival of a visionary new voice.

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, where stars flicker like distant beacons and galaxies spiral in endless dance, there exists a tale—a tale of courage, curiosity, and the transformative power of unity. It is a story that spans worlds, bridging the gap between Earth and realms beyond, guided by the wisdom of beings whose existence transcends human understanding. At its heart is Emma Greene, a young woman whose journey begins with a simple jog through Whispering Pines Forest—a journey that propels her into a universe teeming with wonders and challenges. From her unexpected encounter with the Seraphim, a benevolent alien race, to the formation of an alliance with the advanced civilization of Xandar, Emma’s path is one of discovery and growth, shaped by the principles of cooperation, respect, and boundless exploration. As Emma navigates the complexities of interstellar diplomacy and scientific discovery, she learns not only about the vastness of the cosmos but also about the depths of human potential. Alongside her allies from Earth and beyond, she pioneers advancements in technology, fosters cultural exchange, and confronts the ethical dilemmas that accompany newfound knowledge. Through Emma’s eyes, we witness the unfolding of a cosmic symphony—a symphony where civilizations harmonize, sharing knowledge and forging friendships that transcend the limitations of space and time. Her journey challenges us to ponder our place in the universe, to consider the possibilities that lie beyond our world, and to embrace the responsibility that comes with exploring the unknown. In this preface, we embark on a voyage—a voyage that invites us to contemplate the mysteries of the cosmos and the unbreakable bonds that unite us all. For Emma Greene’s story is not just a tale of adventure but a testament to the enduring power of connection, cooperation, and the limitless potential of humanity among the stars.

“An intense, gripping read that had me snared from the start.” —Amazon reviewer, five stars Is this London detective hunting a serial killer—or a supernatural entity? “Genuinely creepy and panic inducing moments.” —Scream magazine When a bloody corpse is discovered in a North London park, Det. Insp. Daniel Graves is the man tasked with finding the killer. However, with no clues and no suspects, the case seems like a dead end. Then another body turns up—and this time, it looks like it could be Graves’s fault. Has his investigation caused the murderer to strike again? Is he dealing with a serial killer? As the case gets ever more complicated, a report comes in of another suspicious death—but this is nothing like any other Graves has dealt with. All involved are convinced that something supernatural is to blame: a demon. Graves is no believer, but could he be wrong? With two cases on his shoulders and the truth behind each beyond his grasp, Graves must race against time before both killers, human or otherwise, strike again. Praise for WD Jackson-Smart “[Jackson-Smart] lures readers in and holds them.” —Online Book Club “Had me going all the way to the very end.” —Barbara T. Cerny, author of The Tiefling
Postmodernity's Musical Pasts considers music after 1945 as a representation of concepts such as "historicity" and "temporality". The volume understands postmodernity as a period in which both modernism and postmodernism co-exist. It is attracted to a wider interpretation of "historicity" that focuses on the complex nexus of past-present-future. "Historicity" is understood as leaning closely on "temporality", generally thought of as the linear progression of past, present and future. The volume broadens the absolutist understanding of temporality to include processes which can occur in circular, spiral, transcending and other formations. The book covers an extensive spectrum of topics from classical to popular and neo-traditional musics to concerns of the disciplines of musicology. Such a wide range of topics from both the centre and the periphery of the musicological canon mirrors the eclectic and diverse nature of the postwar era itself. The first section investigates how to understand manifestations of the past in musical composition with regard to time, on the one hand, and with regard to genre, style and idiom, on the other. A second section shows how time and history manifest themselves in art music. A third section takes the contrasts and transitional moments of post-1945 practices further by looking at the temporality of reception from different angles. A final part investigates questions of nostalgia and temporalities of belonging.
