Book Description
On Halloween night, five young people are standing before a strange old building. It’s the epitome of a haunted house. It’s nestled between trees that arch towards it with branches like spindly fingers. It looks uninviting. It looks . . . evil. But that’s just fine. It’s what they wanted. It’s why they answered the advert — the one offering thrill-seekers the chance to spend All Hallows’ Eve in a haunted house. But there’s no reason for them to be scared, right? It’s all pretence, like a cheap fairground ghost train ride. Well, the Devil is in the detail, or so they say. Come inside . . . if you dare. “Aside from this being a solid horror read, fans of Hutchinson’s short stories will find their thirst well and truly quenched as in the frame of this dark tale are woven six shorts in the same vein as the author’s much-read Be Careful What You Wish For. A unique novel, darker than anything Hutchinson has published previously.”

Book Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “It’s never quite the book you think it is. It’s better.” —Dwight Garner, The New York Times From John Darnielle, the New York Times bestselling author and the singer-songwriter of the Mountain Goats, comes an epic, gripping novel about murder, truth, and the dangers of storytelling. Gage Chandler is descended from kings. That’s what his mother always told him. Years later, he is a true crime writer, with one grisly success—and a movie adaptation—to his name, along with a series of subsequent less notable efforts. But now he is being offered the chance for the big break: to move into the house where a pair of briefly notorious murders occurred, apparently the work of disaffected teens during the Satanic Panic of the 1980s. Chandler finds himself in Milpitas, California, a small town whose name rings a bell––his closest childhood friend lived there, once upon a time. He begins his research with diligence and enthusiasm, but soon the story leads him into a puzzle he never expected—back into his own work and what it means, back to the very core of what he does and who he is. Devil House is John Darnielle’s most ambitious work yet, a book that blurs the line between fact and fiction, that combines daring formal experimentation with a spellbinding tale of crime, writing, memory, and artistic obsession.

The White Devil's Daughters
Author: Julia Flynn Siler
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 1101875275
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
During the first hundred years of Chinese immigration--from 1848 to 1943--San Francisco was home to a shockingly extensive underground slave trade in Asian women, who were exploited as prostitutes and indentured servants. In this gripping, necessary book, bestselling author Julia Flynn Siler shines a light on this little-known chapter in our history--and gives us a vivid portrait of the safe house to which enslaved women escaped. The Occidental Mission Home, situated on the edge of Chinatown, served as a gateway to freedom for thousands. Run by a courageous group of female Christian abolitionists, it survived earthquakes, fire, bubonic plague, and violent attacks. We meet Dolly Cameron, who ran the home from 1899 to 1934, and Tien Fuh Wu, who arrived at the house as a young child after her abuse as a household slave drew the attention of authorities. Wu would grow up to become Cameron's translator, deputy director, and steadfast friend. Siler shows how Dolly and her colleagues defied convention and even law--physically rescuing young girls from brothels, snatching them from their smugglers--and how they helped bring the exploiters to justice. Riveting and revelatory, The White Devil's Daughters is a timely, extraordinary account of oppression, resistance, and hope.
