The Butterfly Girl by Rene Denfeld: The dark and haunting companion to Rene Denfeld’s acclaimed novel The Child Finder, a riveting story of lost children and one haunted woman’s search for what may never be found.
"[Denfeld's] depictions of women and girls surviving horrific conditions through the power of their own imaginations will stay with readers."
—Booklist
"Equal parts chilling, tragic and hopeful, Rene Denfeld’s new novel combines her haunting, lyrical prose with a page-turning and harrowing mystery, putting The Butterfly Girl into a league of its own. Fans of The Child Finder will devour this."

Full Throttle by Joe Hill: The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fireman and Strange Weather returns with a dark and ingenious collection of thirteen compelling short stories that showcase his ability to "push genre conventions to new extremes" (New York Times Book Review).
"The poet laureate of everyday terrors returns with a baker’s dozen of deliciously sinister tales…. Miniature masterworks of modern horror, proving that life is hard, weird, and always fatal."
—Kirkus review
"The tale that will be the biggest hit with library workers and patrons is the beautiful, elegiac 'Late Returns,' featuring a grieving bookmobile driver who sometimes delivers books to ghosts."
