Do You Need God? explores the similarities of religious and secular moral systems and the great deal which they have in common and asks whether aggressive secularists seek to divert our attention from that. With no bias, no axe to grind, no mercy, the book tells you what you need to know about world religions and atheism, including what their followers might prefer not to talk about. The author burrows underneath conventional approaches to religion, to find the real thing, to get to see how believers see their spirituality.
Joey—the monster—thought it would all be easy; he would appear from under Sarah’s bed, sneak upon her slowly and scare the daylights out of her! But unfortunately, he was very wrong.

Did you think there wasn’t going to be a zombie apocalypse in this story? Grace and her fellow Zombrids find themselves trying to clean up Dr. Walker’s mess. Across the country, thousands of people are turning, and the race to find a cure has begun. Grace is finally accepting who she is—embracing the insatiable need and ferocious hunger. But when she learns that the answer to salvation lies within her, there might not be enough time to save the Zombrid-kind. Serena is just a waitress who, after years of struggling through life, has finally found her fairytale ending. But when it is all taken away from her by one single bite, Serena’s rage cannot be contained. With every swing of her precious machete, her humanity depletes. Now, Serena is fighting her way through the hordes of True Zombies in search of the man who started it all. That is, until she meets a certain teenage zombie hybrid.
It’s official. Grace is half dead. After deciding to accept Dr. Walker’s treatment at Everlasting Paradise—the island compound dedicated to treating her condition—Grace is starting to learn how to live like a zombie. She vows to stay on a human-free diet, and Dr. Walker feeds her need just right. She has even made friends with the island’s inhabitants—other patients who call themselves Zombrids. When Tristen shows up on the island for a visit, Grace is over the moon. Life seems to finally get better…until Grace discovers that some of the zombie hybrids are sick and Dr. Walker is being vague and shady on the details. Then Tristen suddenly disappears and an unwanted guest reappears in Grace’s life. She can’t help the gnawing ache in the pit of her stomach—and it isn’t hunger. Maybe it is, a little. It’s not until she finds a freezer full of horrifying secrets that she realizes Dr. Walker may have some sinister plans for her…and the world. Now, Grace and her fellow Zombrids must figure out how to save the living.
Grace is an average teenage girl with an average teenage life—quirky best friend, good grades, a crush on the popular jock at school—who has recently noticed some not-so-average changes. She wakes up in the morning with bags under her eyes, lifeless hair, and a hunger like she’s never had before. Her mother—former doctor and current personal chef to Gracie—insists that these changes are hormonal. But Grace is growing skeptical of her mom’s knowledge on the matter, especially after Grace willingly dines on Fluffy, the very delicious four-legged neighborhood feline. When her mom introduces Grace to Dr. Walker, he promises to help her curb her sudden craving for living things…in another country. Grace can’t leave her life behind, not when her long-time crush, Tristen, is finally showing some interest. But when a couple of serious crimes are committed—assault and murder—Grace must decide whether or not to run away. It may be the only way to protect the people she cares about…from herself.
An account of nineteenth-century music in Atlantic worlds told through the history of the art’s elemental medium, the air. Often experienced as universal and incorporeal, music seems an innocent art form. The air, the very medium by which music constitutes itself, shares with music a claim to invisibility. In Creatures of the Air, J. Q. Davies interrogates these claims, tracing the history of music’s elemental media system in nineteenth-century Atlantic worlds. He posits that air is a poetic domain, and music is an art of that domain. From West Central African ngombi harps to the European J. S. Bach revival, music expressed elemental truths in the nineteenth century. Creatures of the Air tells these truths through stories about suffocation and breathing, architecture and environmental design, climate strife, and racial turmoil. Contributing to elemental media studies, the energy humanities, and colonial histories, Davies shows how music, no longer just an innocent luxury, is implicated in the struggle for control over air as a precious natural resource. What emerges is a complex political ecology of the global nineteenth century and beyond.
Frankie has led a mostly benign life—save for the genetic curse bestowed upon her family that snatched most of them away. It has threatened her until her older sister, Alex, found a loophole. Fast forward three years later, Frankie is a dark and brooding chain smoker who spews too much profanity and loves a more than occasional vodka cocktail. It’s the only thing that seems to take the edge off having to show up at work every day as an Afterlife Sales Representative. Frankie and her sister are now Sealers, supernatural immortals who brand humans, guaranteeing them a spot in the Red Realm—A.K.A Hell—for all eternity in return for whatever the human desires. Fame and money and happiness are at anyone’s fingertips, but it comes with a price. When Frankie meets Lake, a beautiful being from another realm, everything changes. Lake enlists her help to destroy the business of soul-selling and offers a way out of the devilish contract that binds her soul to Hell. But Frankie can’t seem to decide whether or not she wants to give up her current situation. While her freedom is limited under her bosses’ ruling, she has come to appreciate the art of loneliness and having the ability to drown her sorrows in a bottle of booze. But when Alex’s soul becomes endangered, Frankie is asked to make the ultimate sacrifice—herself. Can Frankie and her sister be saved?
The clever, fast-moving plot features a strong, appealing heroine, Sylvia Plath's poetry, romance, betrayal, and heart-stopping suspense." - Kirkus Reviews "This ambitious sci-fi novel, filled with multiverses and what-ifs... contains complex world building that would appeal to fans of TV's Orphan Black." - Booklist Almost fifteen, Alicia is smart and funny with a deep connection to the poet Sylvia Plath, but she’s ultimately failing at life. With a laundry list of diagnoses, she hallucinates different worlds—strange, decaying, otherworldly yet undeniably real worlds that are completely unlike her own with her single mom and one true friend. In one particularly vivid hallucination, Alicia is drawn to a boy her own age named Jax who’s trapped in a dying universe. Days later, her long-lost father shows up at her birthday party, telling her that the hallucinations aren’t hallucinations, but real worlds; she and Jax are bound by a strange past and intertwining present. This leads her on a journey to find out who she is while trying to save the people and worlds she loves. J.Q. Coyle’s The Infinity of You & Me is a wild ride through unruly hearts and vivid worlds guaranteed to captivate.
