Based on the wildly popular web series, F*cked Up Fairy Tales presents modern retellings of some of the strangest and darkest stories humans had the audacity to invent. Inspired by sources from around the world, "Cosbrarian" Liz Gotauco conjures gossipy animals, homicidal royals, doomed commoners, and shape-shifting beaux--all reckoning with complicated, adult problems that "Disney versions" have sanitized.

F*cked Up Fairy Tales explores timeless themes that have long tickled the human subconscious, from accidental bestiality ("So . . . You Married an Animal") and catastrophic marriages ("Crappily Ever After") to the vexed question of what to do with your murderous lindworm child ("F*cked Up Family Trees"). Gotauco highlights the not-so-distressed damsels and overlooked voices of folklore, including heroes like the Philippines' unlucky-in-love goddess Maria Makiling, India's clever Princess Kalendrin, and Chile's no-nonsense Snow White. She also teases and topples fairy tale tropes: for every wicked stepmother there's a gaslighting sorcerer; for every royal wedding there's an embarrassingly public breakup; childhood lessons of idleness, innocence, and piety are put on hold for questions about lust, aging, and divine poetic justice. And her deeply researched yet hilarious asides offer insight into the stories' contested origins and spill deliciously weird details about fairy tale authors like Madame d'Aulnoy and the Brothers Grimm.

Sexy, disturbing, and outrageous, with stylish, distinctive illustrations, F*cked Up Fairy Tales celebrates the astonishing diversity of the oral tradition, reaffirming our universal love for a story that's messy as f*ck.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Ratitas' most mysterious case.

Gladys, Lluís's aunt, stays for a few days at the Itarte family's house. She has come to Spain from New York, where she runs a famous detective agency, to help her childhood best friend, Marisol, who has had a very valuable painting stolen and replaced with a fake. But Gladys trips over Alma and breaks her leg, so the Ratitas volunteer to be her assistants and solve the mystery of the stolen painting.

They will learn from the best investigator and will be the ones to uncover the thief!

A mesmerizing portrait of an aging man's last pilgrimage, from the New York Times best selling author of The Girls and The Guest.

A private plane cuts through the winter night, somewhere over Greenland. David, a retired executive, sits back in his leather seat, playing solitaire on his phone. Click. Click. Drag. Click. The notebook in his jacket pocket is filled with familiar phrases, urgent reminders to himself, but he struggles to recognize his own handwriting.

A mystery, among many mysteries. The world, once so knowable, has been rendered inscrutable.

This is what David knows: Cody, his assistant, asleep in the seat next to him, will shepherd him along the voyage. A stopover in London. Dinner with his adult daughter. A meeting in France with an old friend, estranged for decades.

His final destination is Zurich.

David glides through hotel rooms and airports and foreign cities, running out the clock on his mortal life. His grasp on the present slips away, and the past rushes in: the Sunday roasts of childhood. The stiff clothes meant only for church. A summer at a school friend's house. The losses and missteps that punctuate a life.

As David's arrival in Zurich looms, an exquisitely rendered portrait of an unraveling mind emerges, both darkly humorous and profoundly moving. Hypnotic and startlingly original, Switzy probes the depths of human consciousness, revealing what a man is left with when the accomplishments and compromises that have defined him, and the illusions he's relied on, vanish.

#1 NYT-bestselling author Stephanie Laurens is back with a challenging case in which, from the first, the Adairs and Inspector Stokes are under significant pressure to identify the murderer of a powerful nobleman.

When the Earl of Moran is found bludgeoned to death in his study, the finger is pointed at his mother's companion, Mary Alder, who the earl had dismissed and who was found standing over his body. Mary is the mother of Julian, one of Barnaby Adair's Lads Network's brightest stars, and in desperation, Julian and his employer, Curtis, appeal to the Adairs and Stokes for help in saving Mary from the hangman. While the investigators quickly establish that Mary couldn't have been the murderer, pressure builds to quickly declare the murderer's identity, yet who actually accomplished the deed is difficult to imagine, let alone prove.

After being dismissed-for no apparent reason-from her position as companion to the Dowager Countess of Moran, Mary Alder believes she is fulfilling her last duty to the earl before leaving his employ the following morning, only to discover, on entering his study, that the earl has been struck down and is very dead. Then she's discovered standing, horror-struck, over the body, and is accused of committing the crime.

On learning of his mother's predicament, Julian seeks help from his employer, Curtis, who immediately enlists the assistance of the Adairs and Stokes on Mary and Julian's behalf. As the investigators have already been directed to solve the politically and socially sensitive case without delay, they are swiftly on the scene-only to find that all their prime suspects were in the drawing room at the time of the murder, under each other's eyes.

Indeed, despite a plethora of potential suspects, there's a dearth of evidence that places any of them anywhere near the earl's study at the fateful time.

In solving this case, the investigators are forced to look past the obvious and confront their own prejudices before-fact by fact and motive by motive-they finally answer the question of who killed the Earl of Moran.

A historical novel of 78,000 words interweaving mystery, crime, and a touch of romance.

Rus doesn't think there's anything wrong with punching bigots. Some call it anger issues or impulse control; he sees it as clearing away the cesspool of hateful idiots. All the same, he doesn't want his rage to control him or push away the two people he's beginning to care deeply for.

Dylan's façade of joy is so masterful, he even deceives himself most days. Underneath that worn smile, though, is a frightened man who doesn't trust the world. Now, he has to navigate taking care of the queer youth home that gave him a life worth living while exploring the life he'd like to live if he wants to pursue romance in this new relationship.

Kaiden struggles to accept himself, wayward and insecure most days. So, when two men express how much they see him, he feels like a complete and total imposter. He's convinced himself this awkward throuple would be a much happier couple if he took a step back. But despite his reservations, he doesn't want to give up.

These three will have to come together, work through their personal fears, and be real with one another if they hope to explore this romance.

At some point, many women reach a season where the rules they have lived by no longer make sense. The body feels unfamiliar. Emotions arrive without warning. Patience wears thin. The urge to explain, smooth, and manage everything begins to fade. What replaces it can feel unsettling at first, but it is also deeply clarifying. This book is for the women standing in that moment, wondering whether they are falling apart or finally telling the truth.

Written with honesty, humor, and deep compassion, this book speaks directly to women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and the years beyond who are exhausted by pretending everything is fine. It offers relief from shame and reassurance that these changes are not personal failures, but natural transitions that deserve understanding rather than judgment. Through relatable storytelling and grounded insight, it names experiences many women feel but rarely say out loud.

Rather than offering rigid rules or unrealistic fixes, the book provides perspective. It explores why tolerance disappears, why exhaustion runs deeper than sleep, why emotions feel sharper, and why identity begins to shift. It explains how hormonal change affects the body and brain without turning women into problems to be solved. The focus is not on perfection, but on discernment, boundaries, and self trust.

Along the way, readers are invited to let go of overachievement, people pleasing, and constant explanation. The book encourages choosing peace over approval, rest over guilt, and connection over obligation. It makes space for grief over what has changed while also honoring what is emerging. Humor weaves throughout as a survival tool, offering lightness without minimizing the weight of the experience.

This is not a medical manual or a self improvement checklist. It is a companion for a powerful and often misunderstood life stage. It reassures women that they are not broken, that their reactions make sense, and that they are allowed to live differently now. Honest, validating, and deeply human, this book reminds readers that becoming themselves was never meant to be quiet or comfortable, but it is worth it.

Can dirt be evil? Not conceptual evil that's either moral or natural. But dank, almost ethereal malevolence comprised of sand, silt, and clay. A profound evil, like the evil that lurks in the sleepy town of Jasper Mill, Tennessee.

Some claim evil came to the Mill in the summer of '94 with the death of little David Abrams at the Kromwell summer camp. But that just shook the hive. Others say old John Tate-the madman who plagued the town in the '60s-planted the evil in the dirt himself, punched it right into the earth with his two big, bloody fists.

But Jasper Mill is evil. It's always been there. Always. Right there in the dirt.

Joey Carpenter doesn't know it, but the dirt is coming for him. At just fifteen, he's learned what the hands of depraved men can do. It had been an innocent conversation with another gay person, another "unicorn." Something to make him feel less alone in the world. But when he awoke in the ICU, he realized it had been much darker.

Joey will escape his bigoted father. He'll flee from the courtroom trial that threatens to publicize his secrets. He'll run all the way to the Tennessee mountains, to Kamp Kromwell, where the dirt waits for him.

Voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED) is a widely available yet little known end-of-life choice utilized throughout human history by terminally ill people suffering from pain and existential distress. In this short but comprehensive guidebook, novelist Kate Christie describes the steps her family took when her mother Jane chose to utilize VSED in 2020 to escape the late stages of Alzheimer's disease.

In clear, concise language, Christie-a former technical writer-provides an actionable plan for anyone considering hastening their own death, emphasizing the importance of planning, palliative care (including medication to ease the dying process), and a broad support network. She also describes what to expect from each stage of the VSED process and highlights the challenges and unexpected gifts of accompanying her dying mother on her final journey.

As Christie notes, a peaceful death like the one her mother experienced via VSED is possible-but only with planning, perseverance, and the support of a trusted team.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In the times we live in, where the words most often heard are crisis, depression, and lack of desire to live... this book is an injection of optimism and energy.

The analysis carried out by doctor Enrique Rojas, psychiatrist and expert in the depths of human nature, is penetrating and delves into the dense forest of psychology. Happiness begins with a positive mental attitude; it is a polynomial of many factors. To have hopes is to have a motor that pulls us forward and develops our personal project. Happiness is not found in the superhuman, but in the true human being. Luck deals the cards, but one must know how to play them.

The Joy of Living is a compendium of wisdom that serves as a true compass for people without direction.

What happens if the world's richest and most powerful men decide to dismantle democracy?

In Gilded Rage, New York Times bestselling author Jacob Silverman takes us inside the surreal, high-stakes world of Silicon Valley. This is the story of the political awakening and radicalization of a cabal of tech billionaires and their descent into ideological extremism. Flush with cash from the zero-interest era, addicted to their own mythology, these men have began reshaping the world in their image -- and it should terrify us all.

At the center is Elon Musk, the mogul whose obsession with the "woke mind virus" has turned him from a tech innovator to an ideological crusader. But Musk is just the beginning. Silverman maps a sprawling network of radicalized elites - from Peter Thiel and JD Vance to the financiers bankrolling Donald Trump's return - who are using their platforms and their money to ensure a political revolution that's already underway.

Silverman travels from San Francisco to Miami, New York to DC, following a movement that's rewriting the rules and oftentimes fighting a war against reality itself. With sharp reporting and a cast of extraordinary characters, Gilded Rage is a gripping, essential dispatch from the front lines of the billionaire revolution.

Readers are rarely lukewarm on Naeem Murr's work, which has been compared by critics to an astonishing array of greats: Margaret Atwood, Henry James, Joseph Conrad, Flannery O' Connor, Robert Penn Warren, William Faulker, Vladimir Nabokov, and more. His novels are likely to elicit wonderment, as in "the perfect book" (Business Day, South Africa) and "the best novel I've read in years" (Christian Wiman, author of My Bright Abyss). And in this, his first book in two decades, the conflicts, griefs, and hopes of an immigrant community in a Chicago condo come to represent those of the wounded world we all must share.

As a financial crisis looms, Jamal "Jack" Shaban is trying to save his neighbors from bankruptcy. But who is Jack, really? For his flight attendant colleagues, he's an object of desire, even love, particularly for his sweetly bawdy Wisconsinite best friend, Birdy. Birdy knows nothing about Dimra, Jack's traditional Muslim wife, with whom Jack is desperate to have a child. Nor does Dimra know about Jack's attraction to Marcia: an angry single mom new to the building. The resulting tangle of love, desire, and conflict returns Jack to the violence of 1980s Gaza, where a taboo affair nearly destroyed his life.

A man of many sides--adulterer, devoted husband, fixer, community leader, liar, and the survivor of human and cosmic cruelty in both the past and the novel's present--Jack is a paragon of both desire and hope, someone who has committed to love because the alternative is utter darkness.

A gorgeous blend of gentle comedy and poignant tragedy, of blasted hopes and one man's indomitable dedication to the well-being of others, this is a book to love and never forget.

In an altered world, Kou and Mitsuba are drawn to the Red House, seeking answers to the memories they've been glimpsing of a different past. Nene and her gang follow close behind, looking to discover what changed in their new timeline. But nothing can prepare them for who they find dwelling inside--a grown-up Hanako-kun?! It's too early to rejoice, though--this Hanako-kun is nothing like the boy they remember, and his presence may only spell doom for the Red House's visitors...
