Who can ever get enough of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice? Who doesn't dream of strolling through stately shrubberies? Of reveling in Regency lore-where luxury is silken, manners are refined, and the language reflects exquisite sensitivities and a decorum whose bonds we have managed to escape, yet we still find charmingly quaint? Dreaming Pemberley is a mini-saga composed of four "dreams" that carry the Bennets, Darcys, Collins, and their friends forward in their lives through two generations. Their journeys are fraught with painful detours and misunderstandings, and they are forced to grapple with character flaws as well as dastardly acquaintances. At one point, a member of the Collins household is deemed a witch! In the fourth dream, the famed equanimity of Pemberley is threatened by a disruptive cat. However, felicity and redemption are persistent threads, and we rejoice when Anne de Bourgh's personhood is allowed to blossom, even though Lady Catherine de Bourgh feels strongly abused. Mystery and surprise are found at various twists and turns. Georgiana's fate is beyond belief. And the late Mrs. Darcy's long-locked tea room engenders a renown that spreads as far as London-much to Mr. Darcy's chagrin. Over all, the gracious gentility that pervades Pemberley is a force for good and does much to soothe hearts and hurts.
From the author of Mr. Darcy’s Daughters, the delightful escapades of the Darcy family continue with an enchanting story set at Pride and Prejudice’s Pemberley.

As preparations for the ball which Mr. and Mrs. Darcy are to give at Pemberley gain momentum, mischief and love triangles abound, making life as difficult as possible for anyone connected with the Darcy family. Populated with authentic characters firmly rooted in Jane Austen’s mores and stylistic traditions, Mr. Darcy’s Dream has an unforgettable combination of romance, societal scandals, friendship, family, and marriage.

In the critical tradition, Jane Austen has long been considered a conservative writer, whose novels emphasize the importance of manners and propriety. This study, however, continues a more recent trend in Austen Scholarship, one that focuses on her feminism. It breaks new ground by identifying, as one ingredient in her fiction, an iconoclastic laughter that is closer to popular gaiety than to the elitist ironic stance of many of her predecessors. Furthermore, it underlines the presence of conflict in her narrative and points to the disruptive speech reported in Austen's elegant, hyper-correct sentences. Working with three of Austen's novels - Northanger Abbey, Pride and Prejudice and Emma - the study analyzes the elements of feminist carnival in her prose.
In Awe, Scoff Heim's second novel, follows the lives of three outcasts who, during the course of one rain-soaked autumn, find themselves the target of an onslaught of terror and violence. Sarah, thirty-two, is a clerk in a convenience store with a string of part-time boyfriends; Harriet is a frail, birdlike woman of sixty-two whose son, Marshall - Sarah's best friend - has recently died; and Boris is a seventeen-year-old orphan who lives in the local detention center and dreams of writing the ultimate zombie novel. This unlikely trio is united by their love for one another, their freakishness in relation to their conservative Kansas backwater, and their rich fantasy lives. Harriet immerses herself in the serenity of her farm as she grapples with the reality of her son's death, while Sarah dreams of being a heroine in the B horror films she loves. And Boris dreams of Rex, the beautiful but savage redneck who is the center of a lethal pack of teenage boys. But these fantasy lives increasingly blur into the real, potentially dangerous world around them. Sarah's car is defaced with graffiti; two local coeds turn up raped and murdered near the river; someone is prowling in the bushes outside Harriet's and Sarah's houses; Boris is beaten and humiliated at school. How these three friends respond to the terror both within and around them forms the core of Scott Heim's riveting story and leads the novel to its brutal and startling conclusion.
